Trading: Using Bollinger
Bands to Spot Potentially
Big Moves
- by

Bollinger
Bands are one of the more
widely known and used
technical indicators around.
Most charting packages,
even the most basic, have
them built in. The
Bands are a volatility-based
indicator which apply
the statistical measure
Standard Deviation to
provide a guide as to
how a given market or
instrument is trading.
There are a great many
ways Bollinger Bands can
be employed in market
analysis, but this article
focuses on how one can
apply them to the identification
of markets ready to make
a significant directional
move.
The
process of finding markets
ready to move using Bollinger
Bands starts with evaluating
the width of the Bands,

Using Buy & Sell Signals & Screening
Stocks In
this article we'll look at the use of technical
buy & sell signals. What are some of
the most popular? I've listed some of them
in a handy reference format below. Many
investors make investment decisions - or
would like to - based on signals from their
favourite technical indicators. The biggest
challenge, however, is finding stocks that
are giving the signals that we're looking
for. Suppose you like to trade stocks that
have recently exhibited a "bullish MACD
crossover" or a 'bullish Price Channel breakout,
or some other trading signal.
Finding such
stocks has traditionally been a matter of
checking a large number of charts based
on analyst reports, broker's recommendations,
hot tips, newspaper articles, unusual volume,
etc, etc. Finding stocks has been a matter
of luck and persistence, in most cases.
