  7. Bollinger Bands are good for identifying volatility squeezes under certain circumstances. However, if using them for trend or swing trading, there are challenges. Because BB is based on an average and the volatility around that average, when price takes off from a stable condition the volatility expands because the average is not tracking the price action. Thus, the bands widen and price "walks the band". I wanted something that tracked price action and reflected the volatility around the movement, not the lagging average, With that in mind, developed then later published an indicator based on regression "Standard Error Bands" in 1996. Due to certain restraints at the time, I was required to give it such an ugly descriptive name and changed it since but not published differently (yet).

    Check out the image to see how the average vs regression tracks price movement differently between the vertical lines. The green line is the moving regression value and red line is the moving average. The magenta horizontal line is the average looking back from the vertical line on the right and blue line is the regression line evaluating the same data. Notice that the average is horizontal, thus price action moving away from the average simply causes volatility to increase but does not reflect direction. Conversely, regression tracks direction AND volatility. Cheers!
