Terry,

Back testing 20 setting Bollinger vs.10 Bollinger over a 2 year time frame on TXI yields some difference in the trend shift reaction time as you suggested.

20 day:

139.142.147.218

10 day:

139.142.147.218

10 day gives you a tighter hug in the trading range. As I always do, I was keying on the reversal points and in the case of TXI I noticed it was not making it back to the 20 EMA in my normal setup before it bounced:

139.142.147.218

Hence is why I adjusted the mid-line to a 10 EMA which is where one can expect it to methodically bounce as it trends upward.

10 EMA with no bands

139.142.147.218
