Dan,

Their use is part of my excellent trading course <g>. I've never seen much on it in print but that may change in the near future ;-).

Enough emoticons.

I use them all the time. Most are pattern setups, many of which are buried in my psyche. For example, a flag near an important high that pushes the top of the 13-period band signals a breakout to me. I use daily mostly to make a judgement on broader RS. For example, if it breaks the center, I expect a move to the bottom.

As "we" more experienced traders understand, support-resistance is much more than a horizontal phenomenon. BBs provide a structure for me to understand hidden swing points. But I like them best when they confirm other observations.

Alan

Dan:

Do you have a specific pointer (your fine website, perhaps) where I could find more on how you use intraday bollingers? For instance, do you use them the same way as daily Bollingers? Or, do you use them to detect breakouts?

You've probably already seen these posts, but for benefit of other I will post the list of Bollinger Bands related posts from the thread summary:
