(Hide Review...)  BOLLINGER BANDS: An "A+" Technical Indicator
Reviewer Permalink
Mark LaMoure, Boise, ID

"Bollinger On Bollinger Bands" is a useful book about an incredible discovery in Technical Indicators. Using Bollinger Bands is a super useful stock tool. Nothing else compares. Back in 2002, I bought Bollinger's book just after it first came out in 2001. Today, I deeply appreciate what I've learned from Bollinger Bands. They are my #1 favorite Technical Indicator. They summarize and convey much greater "story information" about your stock.

John Bollinger invented Bollinger Bands back in the early 1980's. As Technical Indicators, I think Bollinger Bands rate as a top tool beneficial to anyone who wants to use them. They are a signature breakthrough in Technical Indicators and work as a great Price Line "PREDICTION-TOOL."

Bollinger Bands accurately tell a story about your stock's Price Line still unequalled by other Technical Indicators. You in return, can more easily PREDICT the upcoming high-and-low changes in your stock's Price Line as a result. In other words, they provide accurate Price Line PREDICTION which is super important to all traders. By using them, we can win even more often.

But the book is not a simple one to read. It can be a little complex and detailed for someone like me, who is not steeped in mathematics. But John Bollinger, the book's author, made the book very readable anyway. Overall, the book is well written from start to finish and is very absorbing. Bollinger's book has 22 chapters and 227 pages of excellent material. Its well worth its price.

Bollinger Bands are the invention of a brilliant American mind. Thank You, John Bollinger for all your hard work and dedication as driving forces for a wonderful breakthrough. You are THE MAN!!

"Bollinger On Bollinger Bands" is a book about Bollinger Bands, which are an excellent stock Technical Indicator. Bollinger Bands are one of the finest Technical Indicators. Nothing else compares. Back in 2002, I bought Bollinger's book when it first came out. Since then, I have done nothing but relish what I've learned about Bollinger Bands. They are my favorite. Bollinger Bands are a first-rate "Predictor-Tool" for traders and I rate the book 5-Star for superior value.

The book is not a simple one to read. It can be complex and detailed, but most people can learn its precious message by reading the book. Using other Techncal Indicators with Bollinger Bands brings out their total value. Well written from start to finish, the book is absorbing. The book is a signature breakthrough in Technical Indicators.

John Bollinger is a brilliant genius. He devised a valuable set of three line-indicators back in the early 1980's. They frame Price Line patterns, telling a story about your stock that is unequalled by anything else. The three Bollinger Bands provide a clear channel for oscillating Price Lines painting a short, mid and long-term picture of your stock's performance. You in return, can more easily predict the upcoming high-and-low changes in your stock's Price Line as a result. They provide accurate prediction which is super important.

I cannot convey the incredible value Bollinger Bands are to me. They are a god-send for clarifying Price Line high-low patterns. Bollinger Bands are the result of Techncal Analysis overlapped over Fundamental Analysis, producing Rational Analysis. Rational Analysis is a tool for predicting the potential future of the Price Line of your stock. Bollinger's book has 22 chapters and 6 parts. Its well worth its price.

Bollinger Bands as Technical Indicator's are second to none and are a miracle offered to every trader for better Price Line prediction. They are also the invention of a brilliant mind. Let profits reign with Bollinger Bands! They are the "best of the finest" of all the Technical Indicators. Thank you John Bollinger for all your precious work. You are the MAN!

(Hide Review...)  Well structured approach
Reviewer Permalink
This is an attempt to provide a well structured approach to trading. It is a good read, but I'm biased by liking Bollinger bands. If you know you don't like them, this book is not for you. Other ideas are presented but the bands are a non-trivial component. I also find it very valualbe to get an overall system presented by a veteran in the field.

The author doesn't try to synthesise everything so it is not a textbook. That is good, especially when it comes to trading books. I don't like when the authors hide beweeen one hundred indicators and do not provide their reasoned view. Bollinger presents his view and that is all we need in his book on trading.

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the author was preparing a book on a more comprehensive view on trading. I don't know if this is still in the works. I hope it is. The current book can be improved in certain areas, for instance the discussion on volume.

I have written several short reviews on trading books. The best way is to compare the score on the books I've read. Many reviews on amazon.com are just glorious 5 star reviews. I use all five categories; sorry but everything isn't "great". Books rated 5 are very good. Books rated 4 are good solid books well worth reading. Books rated 3 can be bought by some people who read a lot or have very specific needs. Books rated 1 or 2 I would not recommend buying or reading. Naturally all in my humble opinion.

I bought Bollinger on Bollinger Bands yesterday and only wish I had bought a year ago when I began short term trading. The book is NOT just about Bollinger Bands, although there is nothing wrong with that. It contains several strategies and Technical Analysis techniques. I have played around with so many Tech Anal's and just get more and more confused. Because of this book, I am going back to basics, using Bollinger and Volume and go from there. I highly recommend this book...terrific for beginning traders and the more experienced. John Bollinger is gold, deserving of his master reputation.
