Explanation to Bollinger's Bands

Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.

Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.

Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation

BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.

BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)

Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for iShares MSCI Chile Capped ETF

On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $27.19 and $26.57. There is a natural risk involved when a ETF is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the ETF then may fall to the next support level. In this case, iShares MSCI Chile Capped finds support just below today's level at $27.19. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $26.57 and $25.38.

This ETF has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.515 between high and low, or 1.78%. For the last week, the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.24%.

The iShares MSCI Chile Capped ETF is extremely overbought on RSI14 (77). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the ETF has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the ETF will find support at the trend broken.

Our recommended stop-loss: $27.87 (-4.64%) (This ETF has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 77 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 23 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (ECH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect iShares MSCI Chile Capped ETF to open at $29.15, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $28.76 and $29.70, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.472 (+/-1.61%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares MSCI Chile Capped ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.23% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $27.19, some $2.04 (6.98%) from the current price of $29.23, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
