Bolinger Bands query (someone can share their vast knowledge)

I am using Internet Trader and it can display bolinger bands around the price tick (as well as minute and daily chart). I am wondering about the settings for these. 3 simple queries (and a few more to come later....<g>) and 1 longer one..

1) What do people use for the Period? I am using 21 days.

2) For the BBH and BBL, what standard deviation multiplier is used? IT defaults to 2. Is that reasonable?

3) Is it reasonable to use BB around price tick graph, or use it on a daily graph, or both?

4) OK, now I have 3 multi-colored lines on my chart. How the heck does this help you understand what's going on? Any short advise here (other than go read a book) might be helpful.

Thanks.
