Overview
A bullish engulfing bar that reaches the lower band is colored with the bullish color, and a bearish engulfing bar that reaches the upper band is colored with the bearish color. The source, length, and multiplier change the band calculation. The middle band is calculated but hidden by default. It is an indicator only and does not place orders or set exits.
- Bollinger Band upper and lower plots
- Bullish engulfing highlight on the lower band
- Bearish engulfing highlight on the upper band
- Adjustable source, length, and multiplier
- Hidden middle band by default
