yeah, it seems this is it. Mine doesn't have the "double" on standard deviation multiplier, so i can insert only integer values. In the image attached there is a bbstop with 10 / 2 / 0,5 settings. I think that small differences between your chart and mine depending in that 0,5 value in more of standard deviation multiplier.
@thefxpros: I have created a chart with the (10/2/0.5) settings that you have used. There is a difference in one place, but otherwise the indicator behaves in the same way.
I do not think that you need a MTF version, as a higher timeframe can be simulated by simply adjusting the indicator settings. The chart below show a simulated higher timeframe x2.
I have had a quick look at this indicator again. It has a lot of interesting properties which make it fit for use as a trailing stop.
Also I have played around with the settings - in particular with the moving average period, the standard deviation multiplier of the Bollinger Bands and then the extension factor (which was called MoneyRisk in the MetaTrader version). I have currently settled for default values period = 21, SD multiplier = 2, extension factor = 2. With these settings, longer trend following moves are possible. The only inconvenience is that the stop line can be far away from price, when a position is entered. Therefore I will add another filter, probably a Chandelier Stop, to improve the behavior of the indicator. Will be published soon.
