it was my chart and i dont use boilinger bands as i find them to be lagging indicators like most indicators.
That's not correct. BB's use standard deviation to encapsulate price movement. They are used like S/R to predict the next movement.

what settings do you use for your BB? On Oanda the default is BB(14,2)
Depending on the TF from 8 to 15 mostly... you have to play with them some. default on accucharts is 21 I think. Shorter TF's get smaller values. Depends on how tight and responsive you want them really. I keep them pretty close. 2/4/8hr is 16 to18...

guys i understand your points of view. trust me i do....however everybody uses different indicators, different reasons to enter the markets, different patterns, different strategies, some seek 10 pips...others 100...others 1000....for what i do and the way i do it....i seek to enter the market using what works best for me and thats my own two eyes not some indicator which tells me...oh now you sell..now you buy...its like this...i see a pattern...i see a support in that pattern ...i see where fibs are(like earlier 1.4180 massive support based on fibs) ...if that support cannot get broken i say ok...i buy here...tight stop loss just in case..i trust my own judgement.
to me it is lagging...i may be wrong to you...but i am right to me and thats all that matters

18,2 is the default in metatrader. I use them for lower time frame scalps and they're pretty good. Check the james16 thread for how Jim uses them on 5 minute charts with PA.

like right now for example....notice how strong a resistance 1.4270 is....intersecting resistances all over the place....clearly it will take a good resason for that to be broken...same on the other hand with 1.4180

Na bud I wish, I'm in Australia. Did a bit of a road trip up the northern end of Queensland in the 4x4 before the wet season starts.

I hear the salmon in Alaska are a load of fun. Hope to get over there when my daughter is a bit older and can handle the flight over.

Everything technically lags in some way, PA and patterns have to form first before you can trade them. S/R and fibs are all drawn from past prices.

EDIT: Ironically, the middle line in the BB is a "lagging" moving average. It is however the standard deviation (outer bands) that gives them their predictive nature.

BB's are technically not a "lagging" indicator like a moving average or macd for example.

But yea, like ak said. Whatever floats yer boat.

Still dyin' here with this short. Not even really sure what I'm waiting for at this point. I guess the only chance for a huge price move will be right before the USA rate announcement?
