A personal implementation of the famous Bollinger bands indicator as a trend following mechanism, which uses a moving average and the standard deviation to define what a trend is and when it changes. Bollinger bands are usually used as an oversold/overbought indicator only, but in my opinion, the trading approach is more complete using the trend variant as an exit strategy.

Settings
When loading the indicator to any chart, you will be presented with a set of options as input parameters. Do not despair if you think they are too many, because parameters are grouped into self-explanatory blocks. This is what each block of parameters does.
- Period – MA period of Bollinger bands.
- Deviation – standard deviation for Bollinger bands.
- Max History Bars – past bars to draw when the indicator loads.
- Drawing Settings – colors and sizes for arrow objects.
- Alerts – enable/disable alerts of all kinds, or set a custom alert text.
