Keith,
2 = 97.72 %
2.053 = 98 %
3 = 99.86 %
Hope this helps
Anthony

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%

HI Roy & Chuck, thanks for the replies, you're right, that wasn't the
problem,my fault- I didn't explain it properly .. the problem is not how to
make a BB formula but how to put an exact Stdev in the fomula and know what
it will do.
say I want a Bollinger Band to contain 90% of price action, is this
2Stdev(no),
1.883 Stdev , don't know ?
if I had the formula how it's constructed, I could tailor a BB to suit, by
trial & error, and know that the result is statictically accurate( i hope?)
i think from memory 1Stdev is about 67%, 2Stdev about 96% and 3Stdev about
99%, 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

Roy...
Some times it's very difficult to ascertain the real question. That's why
I phrased my reply as a question. I'm sure that you already know how to
use 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 answer
that we both could have missed. If you take the original question
literally, 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, we
are all too happy to help once we understand what it is that you want to do.

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.
