Author’s Introduction:
Bollinger on Bollinger Bands is a must read for all students of the markets. It explains and expounds on an important contribution to technical analysis that John made while we were working together at the Financial News Network. When John first invented Bollinger Bands,I didn’t understand the significance of his work. As I stated, it took me many years to understand fully the subject I was covering,and John’s work,at the time,was as arcane as any I had encountered. (Gladly that is no longer so,lest some of you worry that I am still unfamiliar with technical analysis.)
But like many great discoveries,Bollinger Bands are elegant in their simplicity. They define the parameters that accompany market gyrations. They set the boundaries for expectations,and they allow traders to understand the degree and speed with which markets can move. Bollinger Bands bend,yet they are made to be broken. It is when they are broken that they contain some of the most important information an investor could want. They are mathematical in their construction but,in pictures,they paint a thousand words that are invaluable for investors.
In short,Bollinger Bands are a technical tool which all investors,traders,and money managers should understand and utilize. And they are only one of several contributions to market analysis that their namesake has made and for which he will be remembered well.
