How do you built an envelope based on the centred MA? I have tried Stdev and ste both are not the best candidates.

The centered MA is a "true" MA, in that the average is plotted against the
middle number of the series, not the end one. It is used in cycle analysis.
If you are interested, look at J.M.Hurst's work.
