Various Analyses Possible by Changing Standard Deviation
By changing the value of the standard deviation, you can use this indicator in various situations such as identifying the emergence of trends or exploring overheated market conditions.
Specifically, by setting the standard deviation to 1 or 2, you can analyze the onset of trends, or set it to 2 or 3 to explore short-term overheating.
Looking at Bollinger Bands from different angles allows for efficient analysis.
Example of Analysis with Standard Deviation Set to 1
When the Bollinger Bands are set to a standard deviation of ±1, the lines are drawn slightly away from the moving average. Therefore, if the price exceeds the levels of ±1 standard deviation, it might indicate the initiation of a trend.
Setting the standard deviation to 1 in Bollinger Bands %B makes the +100 level correspond to standard deviation 1 and 0 to standard deviation -1, allowing you to check the status of the price relative to ±1 standard deviation levels easily, thus facilitating the identification of potential trend starts.

Example of Analysis with Standard Deviation Set to 2
Using the lines at ±2 standard deviations of the Bollinger Bands allows for analysis of trend emergence, band walking, and short-term overheating of the market.
Setting the standard deviation to 2 in Bollinger Bands %B makes the +100 level correspond to standard deviation 2 and 0 to standard deviation -2, allowing for exploration of band walks and market overheating even without displaying the Bollinger Bands.

Example of Analysis with Standard Deviation Set to 3
Similarly, setting the standard deviation to 3 allows for checking short-term overbought or oversold conditions.
If the movement approaches or exceeds standard deviation 3, it can be determined that the market is temporarily overheated.
