It would much easier to help you if you would present an example or a trading scenario with a screen capture along with pretty arrows and commentaries on the chart. However, i would tend to agree that using BB's with time interval should give you a better idea of volatility since it is related to price expansion within a short amount of time. I do not use BB's but i did in the past when i was trading Forex as i was trained by a trader from London and European traders are a big fan of BB's. You might want to check the journal of ESFXTrader as he uses this tool quite a bit: thisThread
my problem is that i know how to implement certain scenarios or outcomes of the macdbb into my trading without really understanding the exact mathmetical principals and its true message behind its structure. this sounds really silly but just look at my chart. i have no idea - in reality - what it means when macd is pushing up while the bands already change direction.
for my trading it means "caution - there is weakness and a potential for a revearsal" but what does it tell me mathematically. or how can you describe those mathematicall process with a few simple sentences. combined with my previous issues like what am i actually looking at if bolling bands do not work in tick charts.
