Bollinger Band (20, 2)
Period:
Width:
Period: The period for which to compute the band.
Band Width: The half-width of the band in terms multiples of standard deviation. Typically 2 is used.

Bollinger Bands are a kind of trading envelope. They are lines plotted at an interval around a moving average.

Bollinger Bands consist of a moving average and two standard deviations charted as one line above and one line below the moving average. The line above is two standard deviations added to the moving average. The line below is two standard deviations subtracted from the moving average.

Traders generally use them to determine overbought and oversold zones, to confirm divergences between prices and indicators, and to project price targets. The wider the bands are, the greater the volatility is. The narrower the bands are, the lesser the volatility is. The moving average is calculated on the close.

Moving Average, Simple (20)
Period:
Period: The period for which to compute the indicator.

A simple moving average (SMA) is the unweighted mean of the previous n data points. For example, a 10-day simple moving average of closing price is the mean of the previous 10 days\' closing prices.

In all cases a moving average lags behind the latest price action, simply from the nature of its smoothing. An SMA can lag to an undesirable extent, and can be influenced too much by old prices dropping out of the average.

Relative Strength Index (14, 100)
Period:
Range:
Period: The period for which to compute the indicator.
Range: The distance beween the middle line and the upper and lower threshold lines.

The main purpose of the study is to measure the market\'s strength and weakness. A high RSI, above 70, suggests an overbought or weakening bull market. Conversely, a low RSI, below 30, implies an oversold market or dying bear market.

While you can use the RSI as an overbought and oversold indicator, it works best when a failure swing occurs between the RSI and market prices. For example, the market makes new highs after a bull market setback, but the RSI fails to exceed its previous highs.
