Any help is appreciated in creating a 8 period Rate of Change derived from the BBW value below.
and ideally plotting this indicator as an oscillator fluctuating above/below 0 line, or other plot options?
(Would this be be a "weighted" function?)
set{value1,upper bollinger band(20) - Lower bollinger Band(20)}
set{BBW,value1 / median bollinger Band(20)}
Thanks kindly !

Why not just use the Bollinger Oscillator built into SF?
just type Bollinger Oscillator(X,Y) and it will give you an oscillator for the close relative to the bands.

tks Kevin!
but I'm actually looking for an 8 period ROC 'smoothing' to be applied to the BBW ?

mm, Is this what you have in mind? I've applied roc(8) prior the bollinger width calc but it doesn't look that smooth.

hey tks tom !
you are right, it's not smooth...and the BB osc is much smoother which is the opposite of what it should be...umm.
The 8 roc is applied to the BB width calculation afterwards.
This theory appeared in S+C mag Bonus issue 2006 trading "Bandwidth Volatility Extremes", by Barbara Star.
Still trying to fine tune it...

Isn't rate of change simply the slope?
set{var1, Bollinger Oscillator(20,2)}
set{var2, 8 day slope of var1}

i believe it is even simpler, that it is the difference between the bbo day to day for the last 8 day expressed as a moving average.....
