Bermaui Bands (BB) is a technical analysis tool that helps filter between ranging and trending price movements. The idea behind this indicator can be explained in the next steps:
- Calculate Standard Deviation as an oscillator that moves between 0 and 100. I will name it Bermaui Deviation percent (BD %).
- If "BD %" is near zero then volatility is at its extreme. In addition, if "BD %" is near 100 then volatility is very low.
- High volatility means a great probability for a trending market, while low volatility means side-way or ranging market.
- Middle Line is a Simple Moving Average (SMA) because Standard Deviation is calculated depending on SMA.
- Add "BD %" to a simple moving average with the same number of bars in the calculation to get The Upper Bermaui Band.
- Subtract "BD %" from a simple moving average with the same number of bars in the calculation to get The Lower Bermaui Bands.

How to use it
- Use Bermaui Bands as a filter to help you identify trend direction.
- If BB lines separate from each other then there is a great probability that price candles will move in a side-way or a ranging movement.
- When BB lines separate from each other and price candles move in between them then trade with a ranging market strategy.
- If BB lines combine like a single line then there is a great probability that price will move in a trending movement.
- When BB lines combine like a single line and price candles move away from them then trade with a trending market strategy.
Features
- Buy & Sell alert signals when price candles penetrate BB lines.
- Suggested Stop loss that depends on a percent from Standard Deviation.
- A well-designed style that users can control.
- Sound, email alerts depending on the user choice.
