BollingerBand settings
In Response To: Re: What about cocoa? ()

Forgive my ignorance Gian.

I have my chart set to March daily. I have the simple moving averages as 4, 9 and 18.

I am unfamiliar with bollinger band settings. When I do into ThinkorSwim charting to plug in my Bollinger Bands with a simple MA it gives me four number settings:

displace = 0
length = 18
num deviation down = -2
number deviation up = 2

Does that make any sense?
