Bollinger Bands High Low

Bollinger Bands High Low (BB HL) indicator is a fine-tuned version of the Standard Bollinger Bands indicator. Bollinger Bands defines and plots an upper band and lower band within which most of the price bars are confined.

Standard Bollinger Bands uses the closing price of each candle in its calculation. In this refined Bollinger bands High Low indicator, the upper band is based on the standard deviation of candle high and lower band is based on the standard deviation of candle low, instead of the candle close used in standard Bollinger bands. This makes the indicator more responsive to price moves and extreme levels are more accurate.
