Bollinger Bands [LePasha]: Advanced Volatility Analysis Made Simple
Discover a refined take on Bollinger Bands that offers clearer market insights and deeper volatility understanding — perfect for traders seeking precision and confidence.

What Is the Bollinger Bands [LePasha] Indicator?
The Bollinger Bands [LePasha] indicator is a powerful, overlay chart tool designed to help traders visualize price volatility and identify potential market extremes more effectively.

Unlike classic Bollinger Bands which use just two standard deviation bands, this enhanced version employs multiple deviation levels around a simple moving average (SMA) to give a richer picture of market dynamics.

Key Features
Multiple Deviation Bands: Instead of only ±2 standard deviations, it uses three extended levels: 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 standard deviations to highlight subtle and extreme price movements.

Color-coded Volatility Zones: Each band range is filled with translucent red or teal shades to help traders visually grasp the intensity of price moves.

Customizable Length and Toggle: Adjust the length of the bands and enable or disable the indicator easily through inputs.

Why Three Deviation Levels?
Traditional Bollinger Bands (±2 standard deviations) cover approximately 95% of price action, but markets often present significant moves beyond this range that are important to identify for better risk management and trading decisions.

The three deviation levels serve distinct purposes:

Deviation Level Approximate Purpose Market Insight Provided
±2.5 SD Captures strong but fairly common moves Entry/exit trigger zones for trending moves
±3.0 SD Highlights more extreme, less frequent moves Indicates breakout strength or overextension
±3.5 SD Marks rare and extreme price deviations Signals potential reversal or exhaustion

This graduated scale allows traders to differentiate between normal volatility, strong momentum, and possible exhaustion—making it easier to tailor trading decisions according to market context.

How to Use Bollinger Bands [LePasha]
Identify Volatility Zones:
Observe how price interacts with the colored bands:

Price touching or crossing the ±2.5 SD band may indicate a strong move is underway.

Price breaching the ±3.0 or ±3.5 SD bands signals rare, extreme market conditions, which could be either a breakout or a setup for reversal.

Combine With Trend Analysis:
Use in conjunction with trend indicators like moving averages or volume to confirm the direction or strength of moves indicated by the bands.

Adjust Your Stops and Targets:
The layered bands help you set more intelligent stop losses and take profit zones by understanding how far price can reasonably stray.

Visual Clarity for Market Phases:
The shaded fills between bands give intuitive visual cues of volatility expansion and contraction phases.
