Using Modified Standard Deviation Color Changes with Bollinger Bands

Summary

The document describes a modified standard deviation indicator that changes color as its values shift between falling and rising. A change from red to green is presented as a possible start of a trend move, while a change from green to red is treated as a sign that the move may be weakening.

It suggests interpreting the indicator alongside Bollinger Bands. A color change to green near the upper band is framed as a possible uptrend signal; near the lower band, a rise in the indicator is described as a possible start of a downward trend. These are qualitative interpretations rather than validated rules. The document provides no backtest, performance figures, parameter details, or risk controls, and the signals may not establish trend direction or persistence on their own.

Key ideas

• A green-to-red change is interpreted as possible weakening of a trend move.
• The suggested approach combines the indicator with price location relative to Bollinger Bands.
