Hi.

I am looking for a Bollinger Band Indicator that has a different display that normal bands attached to the chart.

The MA needs to display as a single straight line.
The Upper and Lower Band moves to and away from the stable MA.

All setting remain as default, it is only the visual output that changes

Thanx

So, you´re NOT looking for a bollinger bands indicator.

Hi Linux.

In principal it will still be an indicator, but it wont apply to the chart window along with the price. I've attached a pic of how I want the normal Bollinger bands to display. The Middle MA is displayed as a linear line while the Upper and Lower band still fluctuate around the central line in ratio.

I've tried to change the indicator code, but can't seem to get it right.

I am trying to create a new Volatility Indicator but need the bollinger to display like this.

Hope you have something

I need to ask more for help.

So, you´re looking for an indicator with a horizontal middle line to plot in the second window.

Or, are you wanting to develop a band indicator?

BB´s are calculated over the 20 SMA values that´s why you have the bands with different measures.

Sorry, but if middle line is a horizontal line all calculations for the bands based on them will be flat.

Or, are you thinking in use the horizontal line for reference and to calculate the bands you use another formula?

This is a tricky one I know. Code wise it is a nightmare. The BB indicator keeps it values. Ie.

Say the medium line has a value of 0.
The Middle Band has a Price value across 5 bars of eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Then the calculation must be -1,-2,-3,-4,-5 to display a straight line

The top band is eg 20,21,22,23,24,25
The subtraction is the same as calculated for the Middle Band

The bottom band is eg. -20,-21,-22,-23,-24,-25
The Middle line values are added to these values

Hereby you visually see a straight line but behind the scenes the 0 middle line is actually a price X.

I am looking for another indicator that works on this principal and see if I can adapt it to act like BB.

Hope this makes sense.

Keep Safe

I don't know how you do it but thank you.

Give me some time and I will send you the final product.

I think this is going to blow minds if I am right about the Vix BB.

Once again thank you. I hope the pips rain down on you.

In fact raff. I believe you´re one of the best MQL programmer and a very good person too.

I don´t know you, but all the times I needed and requested something you come in help with an incredible generosity and speed.

Pls, do not misunderstood my signature It was taken from the words of a friend who is a hacker in a meeting after speech a Microsoft study about the guilty of the user and the problems with the OS.

And the problems for a programmer to do anti dumbs applications.

IE: after 3 danger/warning messages about what the user is going to do, the user click on the three buttons in less than 3 seconds, meanwhile all data to read showing in relation with the action takes almost 3 minutes to be read.

Or, do not open suspicious files with X extension.

After the warning, 50% of users opened the file received by email with the X extension.



(and here I´m taken the hacker word with the original orientation, not in the way the media or the crow use that)
