I am trying to design a custom indicator and find the standard deviations of it from a moving average. For simplicity, I used the closing price instead of my custom indicator that I called "foo". The below example works, but is there a simpler way like StdDev(foo, 20, 1) to get the result quickly with less typing?
set {foo, close}
set {foo2, foo * foo}
set {ave, CMA(foo, 30)}
set {ave2, ave * ave}
set {cum_ave, 30 * ave}
set {cum_ave2, 30 * ave2}
set {cum_foo2, sum(foo2, 30)}
set {cum_cross, sum(foo, 30) * ave}
set {cum_2cross, 2 * cum_cross}
set {sum1, cum_ave2 + cum_foo2}
set {sum2, sum1 - cum_2cross}
set {dev2, sum2 / 30}
set {std_dev, sqrt(dev2)}
close is between 100 and 101
and draw std_dev
and draw standard deviation(30, 1)

The function cstddev(foo, 30) does this apparently, not in the documentation though, it is in the Q&A help pages. I am yet to find how to modify the smoothing parameter, by default it is 7. So, cstddev(foo, 30) is the same as standard deviation(foo, 30, 7). So...
and draw cstddev(foo, 30)
