Lesson 21: Strategy Series - Keltner Channel Squeeze Play
Hi guys & Happy New Year!
Following on from lesson 20 and the introduction to some of my most profitable technical trading strategies, this week I want to revisit the Bollinger Bands and help you really maximise the profit potential that this tool offers.
This week I am going to bring you up to speed on one of the mist profitable trading strategies in my tool bag; the keltner Squeeze Play.
The Keltner Channel Squeeze Play is a trade premised on volatility. It actually begins with identifying a lack of volatility for the forex pair that you are trading. In other words, a market is trading with below average volatility by the market 's historical data. The Keltner Channel Squeeze

As discussed in Lesson 20, the Bollinger Band consists of three lines that are plotted for each candlestick close on the timeframe of the chart you are using. Essentially a simple moving average with two standard deviations derived from the closing price of the candlestick. The simple moving average minus two standard deviations derived from closing prices. Different settings in the Bollinger Band can be set as the period of the simple moving average and the number of standard deviations used. I suggest using the default settings Bollinger Bands: Length 20, Standard Deviation, 2
The technical and statistical term is “standard deviation.” Understanding this term is the key to understanding how a Bollinger Band detects and displays market volatility.
Simply put ‘standard deviation’ is determined by how far the current closing price deviates from the average closing price. The calculation for computing standard deviation is rather complex but the general concept is that the further the closing price is from the average closing price the more volatile a market is considered to be that is essentially what determines the degree of contraction or expansion of a Bollinger Band.
The Bollinger Bands Challenge
I would like to highlight the core challenge to trading the Bollinger Bands as a trading strategy in and of itself, whilst the Bollinger Bands do give excellent trading information from a
Answer: The standard deviation can be calculated by subtracting the expected return from the actual return for each year and squaring the results. The squares are summed, and divided by the number of observances minus 1. The square root of that result is the standard deviation.
Standard Deviation for the mean column is 0.476Standard Deviation for the median column is 0.754Standard deviation for the mean column has least variability
Standard Deviation of Mean= 0.4762Standard Deviation of Median= 0.7539The standard deviation of the Mean is smaller, which means all of the data points will tend to be very close to the Mean. The Median with a larger Standard Deviation will tend to have data points spread out over a large range of values. Since the Mean has the smaller value of the Standard Deviations, it has the least variability.
and SD are _______________________ statistics. The mean is the measure of Central tendency of a distribution while SD is a measure of dispersion of its scores. Both X and SD is descriptive statistics.
Theoretically from the recorded data the calculated mean, median, and mode will be the most accurate representation of the real world value. The difference between the highest recorded value and lowest recorded value is the range in the set of data. Standard deviation (s) is a quantity calculated to indicate an extend of deviation for a group of data as a whole (Marshall). This is calculated using:
Research results tell us information about data that has been collected. Within the data results, the author states the results are statistically significant, meaning that there is a relationship within either a positive and negative correlation. The M (Mean) of the data tells the average value of the results. The (SD) Standard Deviation is the variability of a set of data around the mean value in a distribution (Rosnow & Rosenthal, 2013).
Standard deviation is a way of visualizing how spread out points of data are in a set. Using standard deviation helps to determine how rare or common an occurrence is. For example, data points falling within the boundaries of one standard deviation typically account for about 68% of data and those between (+/-)1 standard deviation and (+/-)2 standard deviations make about 27% combined. This can be better visualized by using a bell graph. Using the mean and standard deviation, the points where standard deviations occur can be drawn on the graph to better understand which data is rare and which is common.
This report will describe examine the various strategies that were undertaken to successfully complete the Stocktrak simulation. Firstly, an analysis of the US and Chinese markets will be given as they are crucial markets that play a big role in the worldwide economy. Due to the fact that the US economy has been going through a recession, a working knowledge of this economic was crucial to our success. Our initial strategy revolved around timing trades based on daily market performance and expectations using daily market news and reports. While this strategy was successful to an extent, our group soon focused on diversifying our portfolio, not just through the quantity of

In Hawaii, condemnation proceedings are under way to enable private citizens to own the property that their homes are built on. Until recently, only estates were permitted to own land, and homeowners leased the land from the estate. In order to comply with the new law, a large Hawaiian
Standard deviation is important in comparing two different sets of data that has the same mean score. One standard deviation may be small (1.85), where the other standard deviation score could be quite large (10)(Rumsey,
These represent the range of the sale price. Lastly, I used the formula to get the standard deviation 48,945.28, which measures the variability.
Throughout history, books have shaped the world. Some books, such as the Bible, have influenced Christians. The book Common Sense by Thomas Paine encouraged Americans to join the fight against the British. Other books do more than simply encourage; they set forth a new philosophy. The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith claims to promote a philosophy which one day would provide the foundation for modern economics. One author wrote two books that would forever change the course of history. These books would lay the foundation to communism and influence leaders like Lenin and Tse-Tung. Karl Marx’ works, Capital and The Communist Manifesto, have forever changed the course of history.
In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird the citizens of Maycomb reveal the unjust treatment of members of the their community. Atticus Finch, tries to break all barriers by defending Tom Robinson, a black man who is accused of raping and assaulting a white female, Mayella Ewell. He wants to be able to teach his children Jem and Scout the truth about life and the importance of doing what is right. Atticus Finch’s decision to defend Tom Robinson reveals that he values justice.
People begin to change the priorities of certain aspects in their lives as they age. In late adulthood, people are keeping family and friendships closer than at other times in their lives. Friendships have a great impact in late adulthood mental health (Berk, 2010, p.473). One of the theories that focus in late adulthood is Erikson’s theory of development. It is a theory based on how people develop their identity in a series of stages from infancy to adulthood. The last stage in Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. In this final stage, people look back on their past accomplishments in their lives to either accept their satisfaction in the past life or feel regret and despair on the goals they could have accomplished. The ones that succeed in this stage of life are satisfied with their accomplishments and they will feel that they’ve lived a well life. In this stage of life, people will go through different emotions ranging from peacefulness to loneliness. They will have to decide whether or not to rise above the conflicts that come with negative emotions.
