BB 20,20 does not make sense. The first number is your SMA setting and the second setting is your standard devation from the SMA. The typical SD is 2. I assume you are missing a dot b/w 2 and 0 on your second setting, like this 20, 2.0.Out of Bounds wrote:Is anyone else getting crazy BBand readings on 5 minute SPY?

agree with OOB--but also adding the key point here is not the event--but what it is showing you about what is going on behind the scenes. al posted something in afterhours re euro banks leveraged 26x. this is a nice idea--but the key problem is this assumes a somewhat concrete value for the assets and leverage. that is the issue derivative values in many cases cannot be (or certainly are not currently) being defined as anything remotely absolute. So the assets that are leveraged are not fixed in value--and the degree of leverage is not fixed in value. or if you want to think they are "relatively fixed in value during normal situations" then "they are not fixed in value during extreme situations". as you see the political situation shift around the idea is what if it becomes functionally possible for political guys to re-create these "semi normal situations" where say 50% of derivatives have some value that "work" on a day to day basis.Out of Bounds wrote:I wouldn't underestimate how a very small but highly leveraged system could impact other similar but much larger systems. not saying Armageddon is imminent but there is real risk.gasprice wrote:THE TOP IS IN: HOW A COUNTRY WITH A POPULATION OF 1 MILLION TOOK DOWN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY!!!!
Let's get realistic folks and recognize the media has to hype up any story with the VIX sub 20, which it will largely stay for years to come, typical vol cycles that I've already discussed.
I posted it incorrectly. My settings are 20,2.0. Weird readings though.Tabby wrote:BB 20,20 does not make sense.

Found the problem. unchecked the "size to fit studies" button on the y axis and everything reset. Values are much more reasonable now. Some sort of bug in their system - that shouldn't happen.Out of Bounds wrote:I posted it incorrectly. My settings are 20,2.0. Weird readings though.Tabby wrote:BB 20,20 does not make sense.

SPY opened 155.72. Current BB 153.95 , 155.07,156.18 and current SPY price is 155.51. We have a wide BB due to gap up SPY. It takes while till it correct itself.Out of Bounds wrote:I posted it incorrectly. My settings are 20,2.0. Weird readings though.Tabby wrote:BB 20,20 does not make sense.

I don't use stops. I recommend them, but I don't use them.L_T wrote:Stop?Out of Bounds wrote:Added short position 155.36
I want to make a move myself but it doesn't seem to be moving with much conviction.
