Understanding Bollinger Bands
By Edward Dobson


 


Product Description:

Bollinger Bands have been a popular method of technical analysis for several years, however there has never been any comprehensive reference on the subject available. The discussion and treatment of Bollinger Bands has been either "shortchange" or omitted in recent books, which offer guidance in the interpretation and usage of technical stuties and indicators, such as Elder's "Trading For a Living" (only 2 pages) and Pring's "On Market Momentum" (omitted). Bollinger Bands are included in many different software packabes, but the manuals give little in-depth guidance on usage and interpretation.

The author worked closely with John Bollinger to be able to help the reader increase his knowledge of Bollinger Bands, and their effective and proper usage.

John Bollinger has asked the publisher to remove this booklet from distribution. It was published in 1994 and is outdated and useless. When John did the research for his 2001 book "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands" (available at Amazon) he developed new guidelines for using his Bands that make this 28 page booklet obsolete. If you are interested in Bollinger Bands read John Bollinger's 288 page book. It is a thorough and comprehensive explanation of Bollinger Bands. It includes three trading approaches based on Bollinger Bands and which indicators to use with the bands for confirmation.Bollinger on Bollinger Bands

John B is an affable, well-intentioned individual but to pass this work off as something original or valuable is just not right. I am a part-time trader but voracious reader. When my real estate business slows down which is not as frequent as in the past, I try to read as much as possible about mathematics and markets. Many years ago I developed ideas that were precursors to John's writings. I too initially believed them to be valuable but when I tried to apply them to the markets I failed miserably. Save yourself some money and avoid these losing methods. Yes, I know as I am a highly respected market technician and I have seen just about everything written on this topic in the marketplace. My mathematics and real estate backgrounds have given me a perspective that these market hucksters lack. I am not perfect but I do know that my contributions to the investment industry is much greater than most of the highly visible promoters. Besides me, there are a few people who have done ground-breaking work, such as Kent Caloun. Bruce Bibcock, and Chuck Lindsay. These guys know math and I like their work. You may perceive my notion of being an expert as egotistical but I consider it to be well grounded in my knowledge and experience.

This is the biggest waste of money ever .... as regards the shortness of this leaflet. It is NOT a book and is my own fault for buying it without checking number of pages. Buy "Bollinger on Bollinger bands" instead - now that is a good book.
