Keltner Bands?

I am semi-new to trading but everytime I place keltner bands or MA envelopes on intraday price, it just seems like there must be a way to use these things in real time. Does anyone have any practical experience or opinions on these things?
Thanks

I dont have any experience but John Hill's book "the ultimate trading guide" has a good chapter that explains how to use them. If you dont decide to there are plenty of other good ideas you could use

How practical are the ideas in that book?

I ask this because I have a bookcase full of stuff from 20 different authors and I cant make any of it work!.....or worse yet, its garbage.

Or, maybe its me

Actually, if you cant make some of the ideas in his book work then it is you

Sorry, I couldnt resist that.

Yes, I think Keltner bands are a practical (but discretionary) approach but if you dont like them he has some good practical approaches to system development. Quite a number of name brand systems use the basic approaches he discusses. From memory he was weak on money management though.
