Bollinger Bands Width Indicator

New comment
 
There's only Bollinger Bands indicator in MetaTrader. Is there away to add the Bollinger Bands Width Indicator?

Thanks!
 
Do you have full description and formulas?
 
Surely I don't have any description or formulas, ---I'm disable in coding or formulas things. I just got a nice stratage which need the Bollinger Bands Width. It would be great if there's a place to download a code, then You help me understand how to add the code into Metatrader.
Here are some articals about BWI, I'm not sure if it is the description you mentioned:

Thanks!
 
Lenar, I just found a piece of material from website. I don't know if this is the right famula. But please help me reading it:

Formula in English: "Normalizes" the Bollinger Band Width by the Average True Range. This way, Bollinger Band squeezes (as well as wide expansions) can be more readily identified. Consolidation is indicated by values less than 1.0, while a large bandwidth alerts you of big moves. The formula implemented in PCF code is 2 * StandardDeviation (ClosePrice, 21) / (1.5 * AverageTrueRange (21)).
