MarketWarrior Bollinger Plus and Bollinger BandWidth

The picture below shows two indicators, the Bollinger Plus and the Bollinger Bandwidth. The Bollinger Plus indicator has has several extra standard deviation lines above and below the Bollinger Bands middle line. The normal use of the Bollinger Plus is to set the lines to 1 standard deviation increments so the lines represent 1, 2, 3, and 4 standard deviations above and below the middle line. You can judge the strength of the trend based on how many standard deviations above or below the middle line that teh price moves. You can also location time periods of breakouts when the Bollinger Plus lines all group together.

The next indicator Bollinger Bandwidth shows the distance between the upper and lower Bollinger bands. When the bandwidth is high the market is usually going to start a sideways conjestions area. When the bandwidth is low the market is usually going to start a market breakout.
