A clean Bollinger Bands indicator with single-color filling designed to reduce chart clutter.
What is This Indicator?
This is a Bollinger Bands technical indicator designed with visual simplicity in mind. Unlike standard Bollinger Bands implementations that display multiple colored lines and bands, this indicator uses a single-color filled area to represent the trading bands. This approach minimizes visual clutter while maintaining full functionality for technical analysis.
How It Works
The indicator calculates Bollinger Bands using a standard methodology: a simple moving average with standard deviation. The bands are displayed as a filled area between the upper and lower bands, with the middle line showing the moving average. The single-color design helps keep your chart clear and readable when trading multiple indicators.
The indicator automatically detects your chart's light or dark background and applies appropriate colors. You can further customize the colors to match your personal preferences.

I can see the advantage of this, however I could not use it with the Position Size EA I use, it was all just to difficult to visualise.... good though !
