New TA functions: BBUpper and BBLower Reply to this Post
Reply with Quote

We've added two new functions:

BBUpper(period [,deviations,offset]) - Returns the upper value of the Bollinger band envelope
period: no. of bars used (typical is 20)
deviations: no. of deviations (default is 2)
offset: use values from 0-100

BBLower(period [,deviations,offset]) - Returns the lower value of the Bollinger band envelope
period: no. of bars used (typical is 20)
deviations: no. of deviations (default is 2)
offset: use values from 0-100

Macro,

Can you set the function such that it accepts "series" as an input, because I want to use it to calculate BB band for $VIX. If it is not possible, can you add a new math function that can calculate the standard deviation of any series (I want to calculate $VIX). Now the available function can only calculate standard deviation of percentage price change, not the level of price. Thanks for your consideration.
