Bollinger Bands Introduction:
English   French   Spanish   Italian   Chinese   Swedish   Russian   German
Bollinger Bands are a technical trading tool created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s. They arose from the need for adaptive trading bands and the observation that volatility was dynamic, not static as was widely believed at the time.

The purpose of Bollinger Bands is to provide a relative definition of high and low. By definition prices are high at the upper band and low at the lower band. This definition can aid in rigorous pattern recognition and is useful in comparing price action to the action of indicators to arrive at systematic trading decisions.

Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper band and lower band. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. The default parameters, 20 periods and two standard deviations, may be adjusted to suit your purposes.

CAPITAL GROWTH LETTER Excerpt

June 2009
Energy

Register for a free 30-day trial to the Capital Growth Letter

I continue to hold the opinion that the demand curve for energy has crossed up through the supply curve and that the path of least resistance is toward higher energy and energy asset prices. Of course in a short-term sense the current economic malaise has caused the demand curve to fall back under the supply curve. However as the world's economies get back on a growth track, demand will once again, and perhaps permanently this time, exceed supply and energy prices will rise precipitously again. In short, nothing about the last year's event has changed our long-term outlook for the energy market. Our strategy is simple; acquire energy assets on pull backs.
