%B (percent b) updated version.
Nikolay.Gekht · Wed Oct 20, 2010 8:32 pm
This is the update version of the %B (percent b) indicator.
The indicator formula is
%b = (price − BB(price).lower) / (BB(price).upper − BB(price).lower)
where BB is Bollinger Band
Comparing the older version this version supports many new features:
1) fractional deviation. 2) line styles 3) three standard (0/50/100%) and two additional custom levels to show 4) now the name of the indicator is standard, so you can the the source and the parameters of the indicator in it’s label
Please do not forget that you can apply this (as well as many other indicators) not only to close price, but at any price (including median, typical and weighted) price and even on the results of another indicator. Just go to the “Source” tab of the indicator properties and choose the right source:

Great work! I noticed the indicator is out of sync. Here’s a fix.
Code: Select all
-- CALCULATE "Bollinger Bands" PERCENTAGE STREAM
if(period >= N) then
PL[period] = ((source[period] - BL[period]) / (TL[period] - BL[period])) * 100;
end

hello the ame of the rsi strategy with a macd please.

From what I understand you want to combine the MACD, RSI and B%. If your problem is language. Write your request in French.
I am interested in is not it, that is the major indicators. Or all indicators have equal status.
Like, ON MACD crossover of Zero / signal line Open Long Position … but only if and B% is …., and RSI is …. or If all three indicators give a positive signal to Open Long Position.
Conditions for B % and RSI must be defined, which line you use as a signal for MACD indicator signal Signal or zero Line.

Regarding your first request. If I understood you. You Want signal generated by the RSI and B% of RSI.
Signals are generated by the RSI / B% Crossover? Or?

I’m requesting an alternative regarding this indicator: price distance from top/bottom band(s) in pips. Below-chart, two lines: top band - price = x, price - bottom band = y.
Thanks!
