Bollinger Bands Introduction:
English   French   Spanish   Italian   Chinese   Swedish   Russian   German
Bollinger Bands are a technical trading tool created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s. They arose from the need for adaptive trading bands and the observation that volatility was dynamic, not static as was widely believed at the time.

The purpose of Bollinger Bands is to provide a relative definition of high and low. By definition prices are high at the upper band and low at the lower band. This definition can aid in rigorous pattern recognition and is useful in comparing price action to the action of indicators to arrive at systematic trading decisions.

Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper band and lower band. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. The default parameters, 20 periods and two standard deviations, may be adjusted to suit your purposes.

Gold bullion is pulling up into resistance and preparing an attempt at a breakout in doing so. Meanwhile gold stocks, which have been systematically lagging, are setting up a similar pattern, indeed in a short-term sense there is no lag visible at this time. We are happy with our gold allocation and see no need to consider booting it at this time. Rather, you might think about adding to it as gold and the gold stocks prove themselves. Sort of an "I'm from Missouri" approach without really chasing strength. It seems to me that this is a sector where looking for logical places to purchase assets on pullbacks makes all the sense in the world. How about focusing on turns up from the lower band as entries?
