Looking forward to this. Hope to see you there.

Funny moment: I took the CFA level II test in 1986. So hard to do, so much time pressure, so much stress... all that creates a fog of war. Got to a question on the Sharpe ratio and completely blanked it. Had to ask a friend after the test before I remembered it. @CFAinstitute

Bollinger Bands define high and low on a relative basis. By definition prices are high at the upper band and low at the lower band.

4 years ago my daughter introduced me to @Quora. As a way of paying forward I have been answering questions about technical analysis & trading. Recently they decided that some of my perfectly good answers were spam. Life is too short to write for the trash bin. Bye bye @Quora.

I see the local super has riblets in for the first time in a couple years. Think that I will smoke some on Labor Day. Happy, happy to all.

Edit buttons? We ain't got no edit buttons! We don't need no edit buttons! I don't have to use any stinking edit buttons!

After on last surge in volatility and volume from June 13th through the 15th crypto went radio silent.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
HELLO?!
ANYONE HOME?!

[John Bollinger @bbands]

We went round and round on the potential base that $BTSUSD is tracing out. I got the feeling that there was a lot of missing TA knowledge that could help understanding. Try this lovely paper by the late, great Jim Forte.

Crypto marching in lock step with equities. Aren't you guys getting tired of this <insert colloquial usage for fecal matter> yet?

[John Bollinger @bbands]

Fun to watch $EURUSD dance with parity. And they say that this is a rational market?!

[John Bollinger @bbands]

I haven't been posting much on crypto trading recently as it seems that the trading dynamics are continuing to evolve. Witness the unusual resolution of the recent BB Squeeze in $BTCUSD.

We are still trading systems while watching the environment.

"One ping only"
Watch it tonight!

[John Bollinger @bbands]

EUR and USD at parity again...

[John Bollinger @bbands]

OK, the ETH merge is coming and I'd like to be able to assess the risk/reward relationship. Before you unleash a sh*tstorm of opinion on me, what would you recommend I read to properly make an assessment? Might as well tag the man: @VitalikButerin
Ducking now!

[John Bollinger @bbands]

It's Friday, it's summer, you know what to do...

For those that need a little help: Get outside and enjoy it!

Mr. Market may have denied us yesterday, but he deivered confirmation today. $SPX

[John Bollinger @bbands]

Those who are paying attention to what is *actually happening* will no doubt note that this is potentially the first follow-through day after a big impulse day in recent history. $SPX Please watch carefully to see if we can extend yesterdays gains.

[John Bollinger @bbands]

Well, we couldn't hold on to the gains so no confirmation day and the possibility of a short-term pullback goes up. Just too much fear and bearishness out there.

[John Bollinger @bbands]

Switching from $LTC to $ETH due to better market dynamics for my trading approach. Don't know what happened, maybe $LTC fell from favor, but it seems to have gone to sleep.

[John Bollinger @bbands]

We've talked about logical places before. Coming up on one now. $SPX
