i am using macdbb for my trading. i know how to read and how to apply them into my approach of trading.
i do understand the idea behind a macd and a bollinger band by itself but i have a little trouble understanding the combination of both and what it really means regarding price. i am also confused because i read in a different thread that the basic functionality - like displaying volatility - is not working with any other charts than timebased charts like 60 min. i use tick charts and someone said that a bollinger band is not working correctly with tick charts. why and how is that? and if so, what am i looking at? i also read that the bollinger band in the macdbb are using the macd as the basis for calculation...??

another thing:
when i look at a macdbb on a lets say 1000 tick chart. i always look for certain pictures like "seperations". this means that the "dots" and macdline are seperating itself from the bollinger band. when the bollingband is starting to move into the other direction und the macdbb is still pushing to the, lets say, upside, the seperation is getting bigger which tells me - basically - that the current move is showing some weakness and a reversal might occour. so far so good. but here is my problem: i have no idea what that really means and how to put that into correct words. what does is tell me when the bbs are seperated from the bands and what does it mean when the macd is still pushing up while the bollingband is already starting to turn. on the other hand what does it mean if macd is pushing already down while the bollinger band still points up?

i hope somebody would like to help me and that someone understads what i am trying to get across... hehe
