Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Glad you're here
[edit]Hi. In spite of the conflict of interest notice above, I know you are capable of adding to the Bollinger Bands article in a way that complies with our policies of Wikipedia:Neutral point of view as well as Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability. Speaking as an admin here, don't believe for a moment that you "aren't allowed" to edit the article due to your conflict of interest, as you stated in a comment on the article talk page. Have at it. You're the authority on the subject, after all. If you're uncomfortable making major changes, propose them on the talk page first.
By the way, I am using Bollinger Bands profitably at short time frames. I'm also experimenting with my own variations including a lower-lag version that uses a weighted moving average and a corresponding "weighted standard deviation", as well as an exponential standard deviation -- both of which have the feature that sudden large inputs don't persist in the output for the duration of the lookback window. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:40, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
On Bands vs. bands
[edit]I've been using Bollinger Bands for three decades. They are consistently labeled with two capital Bs. Wikipedia should be consistent with that convention, and capitalize Bands.
