Overview

The middle band uses an EMA of the source over the specified length, with bands formed by adding and subtracting the standard deviation multiplied by the mult. It also draws two EMAs of the deviation line, slow and fast. Plots are in a separate pane. The bands indicate volatility levels in the market. Customizable settings include Bollinger length, multiplier, source, and EMA periods for deviation. Focused on cryptocurrency analysis for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
