I like the author not his book |
| I know Mr Bollinger and he is likeable. However the content of his book is certainly light. It is not much different from what one reads in the 'help' pages of various data services such as e signal, tradestation, etc. In fact listening to a Bollinger speech and reading the help pages give me more insight into his one indicator of fame--a derivative of simple standard. I developed an indicator of my own that was identical to his many years earlier. It was flaterring seeing that he duplicated what I already developed. I am not even a full time investment guru although I have read everything in the public domain. I excel in real estate ivestments. As far as the markets are concerned, I like Schwager's, Prechter's, and Bernstein's books. Am I an authority on technical analysis? Most think I am not but I feel I am. I have a personal commitment to protect others and with my experience as a well known critic and contributor to web sites I am equipped to do so. BTW Bollinger's web site is okay. |

Good bk about BB, but nothing extra wrt other TA books |
It's nearly impossible for any technical analyst to neglect BB with its assessibility, and it's so logical to learn the tool or expect to get the most of it from the inventor himself. With regard to this book, the good things are: The author did not promote his tool as something invincible. He talked about the limitations of and warned readers of the need for continuous revision. Very smooth writing and an easy read. The bad things are: BB is not really a sophisticated tool at all. So the author had "filled" it up with some stuff that seemed light or marginally helpful to readers who had read over five trading books. I am afraid that comprises of most of the potential buyers coz I think it's hard for novices to spend over thirty bucks for a book that talks only of one single TA tool. Furthermore, I really cant acquire extra knowledge of BB from this book that distinguishes it from other TA books I read before.
Anyway, I still think this is a good read. Afterall, it costs less than one pip in the IMM market and you can definitely save a lot more in case you can use BB to enhance your trading system as the author suggests. |

Below average, disappointed |
Was looking forward to this book since I found some systems using BBs. However, was less than impressed. Nothing new, especially for someone that the indicator is named after. Lots of references to his websites too. Squeeze play-expect a move after period of low volatility, yep, nothing new. But, no good discussion on how to implement strategy to capitilize on squeeze. You'll learn more from the following tips than this book,
1. If price touches a rising lower Bollinger Bands (long) or a falling upper Bollinger Bands (short) in the traded time frame, that is a safe entry point.
2. If price touches a lateral (flat) Bollinger Bands and is also touching (or nearly touching) a lateral Bollinger Bands in a higher time frame, that is safe entry for trade in opposite direction.
3. If price touches lateral lower Bollinger Bands (for long) and lower Bollinger Bands on higher time frame is distinctly rising, that is a safe long entry (reverse for short).
4. If price touches lower Bollinger Bands and MACD and/or stochastic on higher time frame is showing long, that is safe long entry.
