Just wanted to share this chart showing a fairly dramatic example of the Bollinger Bands and their reflection of volatility in the ES this morning.

I have the BBands plotted at the bottom of my chart.

After the first 45 minutes of the session, volatility dropped significantly (according to the BBands) and remained low for a protracted period of time (about an hour and 15 minutes).

The distance between BBands continued to shrink until they were very close together, and then price exploded up.

The self-evident truth about volatility is, low volatility leads to high volatility and high volatility leads to low volatility.

Very cool.

@Cashish,

I'm still hard at it...

I entered on a stop sell @84 (2 below swing low) and selling pressure (BBand expansion). I had my target of 74 (2x BUY before I entered.

@Cashish, I do believe the pieces are coming together. Thanks again for all your help. emini

@eminitrdr Yes, I believe you're putting together some very nice trades, well done. I sent you a PM, not sure if the charts went through, let me know if they're missing.

@Cashish,

Another nice morning. I just wonder where price is headed...hmmm.

The charts you mentioned above were missing.

Have a great weekend. I'm sure you will .

I'll post the charts here, I marked the targets, I'll PM you the trades. The third chart is this mornings chart. I'm targeting the POC @ 1.2716 (for now).

all for fun

If ya wanna learn the Old School, read the entire thread as many times as necessary to understand the basic concept/idea. Mr Cashish explains his method in great detail.

Is it easy, NO. Does it take a lot of time, effort, hard work, dedication, screentime, etc...YES, at least for me.

Here is just some of the prep work I do before each trading day.

Spent a few days in Islamorada


Sunset, almost missed it.





Sunrise, was a little cloudy that morning but the day was beautiful.
