Exponential Deviation Bands

EDS, Stocks & Commodities traders tips, technical indicator

The importable AIQ EDS file based on Vitali Apirine’s article in July 2019 Stocks & Commodities issue, “Exponential Deviation Bands,”

and a recreated Excel spreadsheet similar to the one shown in the article can be obtained on request via email to info@TradersEdgeSystems.com. The code is also shown here:

Exponential deviation (ED) bands are plotted above and below a moving average (MA) from which the bands are calculated. An exponential deviation from the moving average is used to set the bands. ED bands can be used with either a simple moving average (SMA) or an exponential moving average (EMA). The moving average dictates direction, and the exponential deviation sets band width. Breakouts from the band and changes in the band’s direction can help identify price trends and price reversals. These bands can be used on a variety of securities with its standard settings.

C is [close].
Periods is 20. 

MA20 is simpleavg(C,Periods).   !expavg(C,Periods).  !or simpleavg(C,Periods). 
MDev20 is (Abs(MA20-C)+Abs(MA20-valresult(C,1))+Abs(MA20-valresult(C,2))+Abs(MA20-valresult(C,3))
      +Abs(MA20-valresult(C,4))+Abs(MA20-valresult(C,5))+Abs(MA20-valresult(C,6))+Abs(MA20-valresult(C,7))
     +Abs(MA20-valresult(C,8))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,9))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,10))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,11))
     +Abs(MA20- valresult(C,12))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,13))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,14))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,15))
      +Abs(MA20- valresult(C,16)) +Abs(MA20- valresult(C,17))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,18))+Abs(MA20- valresult(C,19)))/20.

Dev is Abs(MA20-C).  
Rate is 2/( Periods +1).  

DaysInto is ReportDate() - RuleDate().
Stop if DaysInto >= 200.
stopEXD is iff(Stop,Mdev20, EXD).
EXD is Dev*Rate + valresult(stopEXD,1)*(1-Rate).

UpperExp is MA20+2*EXD.  
MidExp is MA20.  
LowerExp is MA20-2*EXD. 

ShowValues if 1.
