greetings, i recently started using real tick, and am having difficulty setting the bollinger band parameters. the basic formula for the bands is a 20 sma with the upper band being +2 * 20 period standard deviation and the lower band being - 2*20 period standard deviation. this is a simple technical tool, yet the folks at real tick have been unable to help me in this regard. any ideas ? thanks ! surfer
Maybe I misunderstand, but all you have to do is pick upper and lower envelope, click parameters, pick the button for bollinger bands (default should already be 2), click ma parameters, enter 20 (simple and close should be the default).
that is wild. mine are totally out of wack, with the lower band crossing the 20 sma, etc. not sure what to do. s
