Thank you very much MrTools Looking forward to it.
I added SVE Bollinger Bands to the attached EFT indicator, "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones).mq4", using the SVE BB code from the "sve bollinger band mtf + alerts.mq4" indicator from
attach/file/3308148 and created the attached "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones) SVE_BB.mq4" indicator.
The EFT indicator modifies the price into an almost Gaussian Normal Distribution bell-shaped curve, so when Bollinger Bands standard deviation levels are applied to the EFT, the signals produced should be more reliable than regular Bollinger Bands applied to the price.
However, if I increase the BBDeviations value of the "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones) SVE_BB.mq4" indicator from 1.6 to a higher value such as 2.6 for example, you will see that the SVE_BB curve doesn't touch the upper and lower 2.6 BB lines even though the price is clearly seen to break through the regular BB indicator upper and lower lines as shown in the chart screenshot below, so it doesn't seem to be working properly.
The regular BB indicator shown in the chart screenshot below is set to a period of 20, Deviations 2.6 and is applied to the Close price. Something needs to be changed for the "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones) SVE_BB.mq4" indicator to work as it should, so if you can fix that for us that would be great.
Maybe, applying regular Bollinger Bands code or Better Bollinger Bands code to the EFT may be better than the SVE Bollinger Bands code I used, I really don't know. I hope someone can fix this for us since I think that it may be a very useful addition to our trading tools. Thanks.
I updated the "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones) SVE_BB.mq4" indicator to display the background zones based on the bbValue crossing above or below the 50 level. I noticed that trends based on the crossing of the 50 level are reliable. This can be used as a confirmation of trends along with other confirming indicators.
For the "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones) SVE_BB.mq4" indicator, as an alternative display, if it's possible, it would be nice to see the actual EFT line as is shown by the "eft histo (mtf + alerts + arrows + lines + zones).mq4" indicator along with the Bollinger Bands overlaid on it, but I have no idea on how to code that, especially because the scales of the EFT and SVE_BB% are different.
