Bollinger bands time frame?

[late apex]

Quote from just21:

How do you use them to trade trends? Are you looking for a close above/below the band to enter in that direction? Or do you look for a pullback to the bottom band ina an uptrend? thanks

John Bollinger's definitive 2001 book on the subject (worth your time) presents 3 distinct methods of using BB's:

I. Volatility Breakout
II. Trend Following
III. Reversals

They are described in chapters 16, 19 and 20 of the book. You'll find those chapters / methods in their entirety, among other things, at his book support website.

Have you tested the same strategy on keltner bands and ma envelopes?
