Hi,

look's good, I test this indi next week

For those who wants to use algorithm of this indicator in expert adviser, below the appropriate custom function.

Hi Paladin,


BoDi ist not a name for an Indicator to get famous.

Maybe u should name it

The Paladin System


But first just rethink what u calculate:

UpperBand=  MA+SD(StandardDeviation)

LowerBand= MA- SD


BoDi=  UpperBand-LowerBand = ((MA + SD)-(MA-SD))*1000= (Ma+SD-Ma+SD)*1000= (MA-MA+SD+SD)*1000=2*SD*1000

So u just calculate the StandardDeviation*2*1000 This is not new.Sorry.

You know I could agree with you. Before to publish it I felt that it will not be extraordinary indicator. I just wanted to show another way trying to find moment to close position. I was not familiarize well with Standart deviation indicator, but now I see that I just did the same as StdDev calculates. What is new is a visualization as histogram and tips for finding closing moment. Such interpretation may be applied to StdDev indicator.
