What guides this analyst
  • Touching a band is not a signal; closing beyond it with expanding width is. Bands measure, they do not command.
  • A long band squeeze (width in its lowest decile) precedes expansion, but says nothing about direction — the break direction carries the information.
  • Volatility clusters: large moves follow large moves. After a quiet regime breaks, position for continuation of movement, not calm.
  • Known limitation: band mean-reversion works in ranges and fails in breakouts; my worst calls fade strong closes beyond the band in fresh trends.
