Hi Anthony, this was the type of thing i was 
looking for, but it doesn't seem to be a "straight line " formula as  
beween 70% & 80%=.3172Stdev diff , while between 80% & 90% it is 
.4398Stdev diff?  
 
could you tell me the Stdev for 98%  please 
and also what  2 Stdev and 3 Stdev are  as a comparison.
 
thanks    Keith

  1.645 = 95% ... 1.2815 = 90% ...  1 = 84.13%  
  ,  .8417 = 80%   .6745 = 75%  ,   .5245 = 
  70%  ,  .3854 = 65%  ,   .2534 = 60%   
  .1256 = 55%  ,   .0251 = 51%  ,  .0001 = 50%

  Chuck, thanks for the replies,  you're right, that wasn't 
  theproblem,my fault- I didn't explain it properly ..  the problem is 
  not how tomake a BB formula but how to put an exact Stdev in the fomula 
  and know whatit will do. say I want a Bollinger Band to contain 90% of 
  price action, is this2Stdev(no),   1.883 Stdev , don't know 
  ?  if I had the formula how it's constructed, I could tailor a 
  BB  to suit, bytrial & error, and know that the result is 
  statictically accurate( i hope?) i think from memory 1Stdev is about 
  67%, 2Stdev about 96% and 3Stdev about99%, but the old memory isn't as 
  good as it was ! Roy, i didn't think to check the help file first, 
  sorry, i'll do so tonight. I hope this explanation is better. 
  thanks  keith ----- Original Message ----- From:

  Bands Roy... Some times it's very difficult to ascertain 
  the real question.   That's whyI phrased my reply as a 
  question.   I'm sure that you already know how touse the 
  built-in functions as well as how to calculate them yourself. I have 
  read the original email several times and there is yet another answerthat 
  we both could have missed.   If you take the original 
  questionliterally, the answer would be something like: 
  Stdev(bbandtop( close, 10, S, 2 ),10) But, somehow, I don't 
  think that is what is wanted either. So... Keith... I hope that one of 
  us has answered your question.  If not, weare all too happy to help 
  once we understand what it is that you want to do.-----Original

  The question I read was about "how to calculate the Stdev of Bollinger 
  Bands". Having been through the process of needing and working out the 
  underlying calculation, as opposed to the canned version syntax, I made 
  the possibly wrong assumption that Keith also wanted the same information. 
  I guess it depends on what question Keith was really asking. Roy
