Screening for W bottoms now available on BollingerOnBollingerBands

Sept. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- The Bollinger on Bollinger Bands website (BBands.com) was created to support John Bollinger’s book of the same name. The website provides access to the analytic and trading approaches that were introduced in the book, plus a wide array of technical analysis tools. A complete upgrade to the website was recently completed, including John Bollinger’s latest work and some technical analysis tools that are unique to website.

Bollinger Bands are widely used by traders to clarify technical analysis patterns and one of the most elemental and powerful technical analysis patterns is a bottom formation known as a W pattern. Simply described, a W bottom is a decline followed by a rally and then a second decline and subsequent rally. The resulting pattern roughly traces out the pattern of the capital letter W.

To make it easy for traders to find W bottoms, BollingerOnBollingerBands now searches more than 6,000 US stocks each evening for potential W patterns. It looks for a low outside the lower Bollinger Band followed by a second low inside the lower Bollinger Band separated by a meaningful intervening rally and then applies a number of filters to eliminate marginal or questionable patterns so investors are only presented with the best candidates.

W bottom picks are provided in two sections of BollingerOnBollingerBands. The Lists section presents a daily list of potential Ws for trading consideration. In addition a list of Ws from prior trading days can be found in the Screening section.

www.BollingerOnBollingerBands.com is the most powerful and complete Bollinger Bands platform available. The wide array of technical indicators go far beyond Bollinger Bands creating a vital technical analysis website. The W bottom screening is the latest of many powerful tools for the technical analyst.
