Bollinger bands are calculated from a moving average, creating two curves that involve the price chart, these bands are defined by a standard deviation generally of value 2 with respect to the moving average.
Applications:
- They show the volatility of the market, when the bands are compressed, the volatility decreases, when the bands extend, the volatility increases.
- Trend, with respect to the moving average according to the location of the price corresponding to the positive or negative standard deviation.
Extra functions in this indicator:
- You can use several types of moving averages for the calculation: SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, HullMA, TMA, SMMA, SSMA, etc.
- Background: Shows the zone equivalent to a standard deviation of 1 and 2 with different color.
- Log chart: It can be used on logarithmic price scales, to avoid distortions in those charts.
- Multimeframe: so you can visualize the behavior in different timeframes without changing timeframe.
- Interpolation: Round the curves when viewing larger timeframes.
Multitimeframe example: 1D, select timeframe to Bollinger bands 1W and log chart
