Anton, if you plot a sma 20 period and a bband of a sma 20 being that the bollinger band is based on a moving average the 20 period sma and the middle bband line will completely overlap each other. On your picture if your using a 20 period sma bollinger bands then the dark blue line must be a different type or period ma.

Bollinger band is calculated the following way :

1. first a moving average of a price is acalulated

2. a standard deviation of the price compared to that moving average is calculated

3. standard deviation is added and subtracted from the moving average and that way you get upper and lower band

Now, what is not correct?

If you use moving average instead of the "raw" price, just replace "price" with "moving average" in statements 1 and 2

Hi mladen,

Thanks for your kind attention.

The difference is the bands of the BB.

Please check the attached charts to compare.

Here is a version that will work like that : bollinger_bands_of_ma_of_ma_1.02.mq4

Isn't it a basic Bollinger bands template that has every MT4 terminal? Didn't notice any difference.

Actually it is not

The last uses moving average instead of price (basic BB uses only price or previous indicator value - in which case those are two indicators, not one)

Hi mladen,

Great. It works well.

BTW, what concept do you use the BB of ma of ma 1.01?

How does the calculation?

Thanks and Best Regards,

anton
