Bollinger Bandwidth Delta oscillator displays a relative width of Bollinger Bands for a specified period of time.
There are five inputs:
- BB period – Bollinger Bands calculation period
- BB deviation – Bollinger Bands deviation value
- Delta period – indicator calculation period
- Applied price
- Show data in percentage – display calculated correlation of the bands width in % (Yes/No)
Calculation:
- In %:
BBD = 100.0 * (Bandwidth-DeltaBandwidth) / DeltaBandwidth
- In points:
BBD = (Bandwidth-DeltaBandwidth) / Points
where:
Bandwidth = 2.0 * BB deviation * StdDev/MA DeltaBandwidth - Bandwidth Delta value 'period' bars ago StdDev - Standard Deviation(Applied price,BB period) MA = SMA(Applied price,BB period)
