ask uempel when he comes back, also possibly Mr. Miyagi
OK uempel may be the one I've seen using that. Thanks.
Yeah, BB13/1 works great on monthly, weekly and daily. I've backtested all kinds of settings, default 20/2 and 13/1 work best. I apply 13/1 in combo with SMA 9 and it's a good set up: displaying these weekly and daily combos on some screen is very useful to detect important supports/resistnaces. I've never tested this with stocks, but with indices is works beautifully.
Something very different: I've got a nice signal on the daily for next Wednesday - it might be Thursday, but I think it's Wednesday

I've shorted it before using TD Ameritrade. Haven't tried in a little while though.
