come on, are you realy that uncreative?
bands with point deviation:
upperband=centerband+points
lowerband=centerband- points
you can also code this without indicators, but you will not see the bands, if you trading only with EA its ok. but if you want to visual confirme/trade you will have to code a indicator.
//edit: envelopes with 0.01% deviations should have bandwith 10pips. this is just a clue, not shure if its true

Sorry, That was a typo. I didn't copy and paste that code from my ea. It was supposed to be this;
double BotBand1 = NormalizeDouble(iEnvelopes(NULL,0,FastMAPeriod,MODE_SMA,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,Bot1,MODE_LOWER,1),5);
double TopBand1 = NormalizeDouble(iEnvelopes(NULL,0,FastMAPeriod,MODE_SMA,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,Top1,MODE_UPPER,1),5);
double TopBand2 = NormalizeDouble(iEnvelopes(NULL,0,FastMAPeriod,MODE_SMA,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,Top2,MODE_UPPER,1),5);
double BotBand2 = NormalizeDouble(iEnvelopes(NULL,0,FastMAPeriod,MODE_SMA,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,Bot2,MODE_LOWER,1),5);
I am still only seeing one set of upper and one set of lower bands in the chart window. (When I click 'Open chart' in the tester).
Any ideas on how to create these bands with point deviation instead of percent???
Do I need to create my own custom function using buffer arrays around an MA ? Any advice?
Many thanks,
Chris.
