Bollinger Bands Set:
Set of Bollinger bands created on the basis of the universal smoothing algorithm.
This indicator uses considerably more Bollinger bands than the standard Bollinger Bands indicator. The matter is that the set of bands having the "Deviation" parameter from the range of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and other values denotes support and resistance levels fairly well. The indicator is built in four variants with different amount of levels for different application cases.
