The Bollinger Bandwidth Delta oscillator is a handy tool that gives you insights into the relative width of Bollinger Bands over a set timeframe. If you're looking to enhance your trading strategy, understanding this indicator can be a game changer.

Here’s a quick rundown of the five inputs you’ll encounter:

  • BB Period: This is the calculation period for the Bollinger Bands.
  • BB Deviation: This value represents the deviation used in the Bollinger Bands.
  • Delta Period: The indicator's calculation period.
  • Applied Price: The price that you want the indicator to reference.
  • Show Data in Percentage: Choose whether to display the calculated correlation of the bands' width in percentage (Yes/No).

Calculation:

  • In Percentage:
    BBD = 100.0 * (Bandwidth - DeltaBandwidth) / DeltaBandwidth
  • In Points:
    BBD = (Bandwidth - DeltaBandwidth) / Points

Where:

Bandwidth = 2.0 * BB Deviation * StdDev / MA DeltaBandwidth = Bandwidth Delta value 'period' bars ago StdDev = Standard Deviation (Applied Price, BB Period) MA = SMA (Applied Price, BB Period)
