Not familiar with that group, but here is a nice little band idea that I did
a while back. A takeoff on Keltner, but with a different length for ATR.
This is for TS8...it is end of bar update, and the -1 plots plot a
rounded-to-tick value on the current bar. Ain't nothin' worse than your band
moving after you use it to make a trade. I don't trade this stuff now, but
this is the best one I have ever used of this type.  Try on tick charts, min
charts whatever.

Enjoy,
Chris

AvgTR =AvgTrueRange( ATR_len) ;

H2 = Avg + ATR_mult * AvgTR ;
L2 = Avg - ATR_mult * AvgTR ;

H1 = Avg + ATR_mult*.5 * AvgTR;
