Dimitris
I was looking for bands that were a little smoother 
- and did not fluctuate as much as the BB's.
 
Perhaps I'm looking for a variation on the "x%" 
channel bands (i.e. topband = MA(n)*(1+x%) and botband = MA(n)*(1-x%).  
Instead of a fixed percent (x% in this case) I am looking for a variable factor 
that captures "perc"% of the price range over the lookback period.  It 
could be that the factor for the top band would differ from that of the bottom 
band.
 
I don't know if this is even possible but if it is, 
one might conclude that these bands would stop prices at the bands "perc" % of 
the time??

  Bollinger Bands
  The moving average period is n.Replace n=20 with n=21 
  to get the adjustment.If you want envelope type other than BB, please 
  specify the type you prefer and we shall check if the same procedure is 
  possible.Dimitris Tsokakis--- In <A
