Has anyone created a filter to implement the following strategy:
http://www.tradethemarkets.com/products/item5.cfm
As summarized on another website:
"The decreased volatility and quiet period are when the Bollinger Bands are "squeezed" inside of the Keltner Channels. The setup is triggered when the Bollinger Bands shoot back outside of the Keltner Channel. Depending on the momentum direction, the play can be short or long"
Any ideas?

semovente,
You probably don't remember 'nikoschopen' who was a SF member some time ago. I think he was the first to bring Bollinger/Keltner bands to the forums.
Plug the following -- nikoschopen bollinger keltner -- into the search function here on SF and you should find what you want.
I hope this triggers more input on the use of Bollinger/Keltner band squeezes.
I feel that the time spent here recently by a few members exploring Acceleration Bands would be better off looking at this approach since it seems to get you into the trade much earlier. Just MHO

I've tried the John Carter squeeze but with mixed results. I can't seem to get the direction right because the signal can be bullish or bearish. Once you get a signal to enter as the BB escapes the Keltner channel .... the stock does not seem to consistently hold either bullish or bearish. For those who are trading this system ... any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong. I'm back to papertrading this system instead of risking real money.
Also, I listened to one of JC webinars and he added something new where his signal will look for different time frames.... weekly daily and the 15 min ... it seems he is using the different time periods to confirm the signal that the stock is coming out of the squeeze. I don't think SF can do this. Although, could you have SF confirm .... say both weekly and daily are leaving the squeeze.
Thanks,
Bill

They use hiekin ashi candles, only take the trade if the candle color is in the direction the squeeze fired. Herbert exits on two opposing candles, keeping in mind he is a scalper, he intraday trades the Dow mini with an 89 tick chart. On the other hand Carter trades longer time frames, 5 min for intraday would be his lowest time frame; he swears by the weekly, monthly squeezes and has mentioned in his seminars that he loads the boat in these cases. These are my observations after studying Carter's/ Senters' seminars and book. HTH

Interesting ..... Could SF screen for a monthly-weekly breakout of the squeeze. I guess at that pt you could look for daily squeeze breakouts on those stocks.
Thanks,
Bill

You might be able to modify the above filter from daily to weekly., I've read it in the forum that monthly is out of the question. Chetron can help you. I found a squeeze indi for TOS at informed trades: http://www.informedtrades.com/f209/

HAS ANYONE HERE REALLY LOOKED AT THIS ? ? ? ? ? ?
SINCE THIS IS A WEEKLY FILTER, USE FRIDAY DATES FOR OFFSET
How simple a filter can you get ?
Forget back testing, just use DATE OFFSET
If you don't like the results what changes would you make ?
