Summary

This document presents an adaptation of the Bollinger Bands Stops indicator for MetaTrader 5 that uses the Jurik Moving Average in its calculation. It describes two possible roles: identifying the estimated direction of the market as a trend indicator, or supplying a stop-loss reference. The displayed target value marks the level at which the indicator’s direction would change, giving traders a reference for monitoring potential reversals or stop placement.

The description explains the indicator’s intended use but gives no formulas, parameter settings, entry rules, chart examples, or performance evidence. It also does not specify how to choose between its trend and stop applications, or how the displayed level behaves in different market conditions. Traders would need implementation details and testing before relying on it as a trading or risk-management rule.
