NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EXPERT SYSTEM USES BOLLINGER BANDS
BollingerOnBollingerBands.com (BBands.com) has introduced Bollinger Band Expert, an artificial intelligence (AI) system centered on Bollinger Bands and the Bollinger Band indicators. Bollinger Bands provide a measure of whether prices are relatively high or low. The new AI system analyzes a stock and prepares a report that users can listen to or read.
The expert seeks to help answer questions related to trend, Bollinger Band squeeze formations, accumulation or distribution phases, the 200-day moving average, 52-week new highs or lows, M&W patterns, and more.
Many features of the BB Expert are available to all users, with some features only available to paid subscribers ($25/month with a 30-day free trial).
This year is the 30th anniversary of John Bollinger’s creation of the well-known Bollinger Bands.
