RoundLevels
Many traders consider "round" levels (to be more exact, the levels, the vertical coordinate of which (in points) ends with "00") as the levels of resistance/support. Example: the levels of 1.5800 and 1.5900 for EURUSD. Indicator RoundLevels draws two "round" nearest levels above and below the current price level.

Murrey Math Lines (Support and Resistance)
Murrey Math Lines (Support and Resistance)
Click on image for larger view

Characteristics of MMLs
Since, according to Gann, prices move in 1/8's, these 1/8's act as points of price support and
resistance as an entity's price changes in time. Given this 1/8 characteristic of price action,
Murrey assigns properties to each of the MML's in an a given octave. These properties are listed
here for convenience.
8/8 th's and 0/8 th's Lines (Ultimate Resistance)
These lines are the hardest to penetrate on the way up, and give the greatest support on the way
down. (Prices may never make it thru these lines).
7/8 th's Line (Weak, Stall and Reverse)
This line is weak. If prices run up too far too fast, and if they stall at this line they will reverse
down fast. If prices do not stall at this line they will move up to the 8/8 th's line.
6/8 th's and 2/8 th's Lines (Pivot, Reverse)
These two lines are second only to the 4/8 th's line in their ability to force prices to reverse. This
is true whether prices are moving up or down.
5/8 th's Line (Top of Trading Range)
The prices of all entities will spend 40% of the time moving between the 5/8 th's and 3/8 th's
lines. If prices move above the 5/8 th's line and stay above it for 10 to 12 days, the entity is said
to be selling at a premium to what one wants to pay for it and prices will tend to stay above this
line in the "premium area". If, however, prices fall below the 5/8 th's line then they will tend to
fall further looking for support at a lower level.
4/8 th's Line (Major Support/Resistance)
This line provides the greatest amount of support and resistance. This line has the greatest
support when prices are above it and the greatest resistance when prices are below it. This price
level is the best level to sell and buy against.
3/8 th's Line (Bottom of Trading Range)
If prices are below this line and moving upwards, this line is difficult to penetrate. If prices
penetrate above this line and stay above this line for 10 to 12 days then prices will stay above
this line and spend 40% of the time moving between this line and the 5/8 th's line.
1/8 th Line (Weak, Stall and Reverse)
This line is weak. If prices run down too far too fast, and if they stall at this line they will reverse
up fast. If prices do not stall at this line they will move down to the 0/8 th's line.

Bollinger bands are formed by three lines. The middle line (ML) is a usual Moving Average.
ML = SUM [CLOSE, N]/N
The top line, TL, is the same as the middle line a certain number of standard deviations (D) higher than the ML.
TL = ML + (D*StdDev)
The bottom line (BL) is the middle line shifted down by the same number of standard deviations.
BL = ML — (D*StdDev)
Where:
N — is the number of periods used in calculation;
SMA — Simple Moving Average;
StdDev — means Standard Deviation.
StdDev = SQRT(SUM[(CLOSE — SMA(CLOSE, N))^2, N]/N)
ML = SUM [CLOSE, N]/N

Bollinger Bands – How to Use Them to Make Massive Profits
Bollinger bands will help you to predict big trending moves, act on big trend reversals and finally, time trading positions with greater accuracy for bigger profits.
Here we have related Bollinger bands to the currency markets (as it is here that they are most useful) - but they are useful in all financial markets.
What are Bollinger Bands?
Developed by John Bollinger, Bollinger bands are volatility bands drawn around a simple moving average.
You calculate Bollinger bands using the standard deviation of price over the same period as moving averages and plotted as lines above and below the moving average.
As moving averages have been traditionally used to identify the underlying trend, Bollinger bands combine this with the volatility of the individual market (or the standard deviation) – to plot a trading envelope.
The distance between upper and lower Bollinger bands reflects the volatility of the market traded.
As prices force themselves away from the longer-term average, the standard deviation rises - and thus the bands will fluctuate in varying amounts, away from the average.
Why Bollinger Bands Work
In any market, the value of currency traded tends to rise slowly over the longer term.
Prices may spike short term, but will normally dip back to the longer term moving average (the centre band) - which represents realistic value.
The volatility of the outer bands therefore gives us an indication of how volatile prices are - and how far away price is from longer-term value.
Most price spikes are caused as much by trader psychology, as the supply and demand backdrop - and this scenario is reflected in the concept of Bollinger bands.
Why are Bollinger Bands so useful?
Bollinger bands perform three major functions for traders:
1. Spotting a Breakout and New Trend
Markets move between low volatility trading ranges, to high volatility trending moves.
When a market makes trades in a narrow range, the Bollinger bands will narrow together and this shows a market with extremely low volatility - however this is a warning that a high volatility trending move is likely to follow.
When prices break above or below the upper or lower band, it is an indication that a breakout and trend is about to develop - traders will then take a position in the direction of the breakout, and try to ride the trend.
2. Timing Entry Levels in a Trend
We all know long term currency trends last for months or years - but we need to get in at the best risk / reward level.
Bollinger bands will help get you in to the trend and time your entry.
All you do is watch for dips toward the centre band - and enter in the direction of the trend - it really is that simple!
To time your entries with greater accuracy, and filter out “false” breaks we recommend using a momentum indicator - such as stochastics, to confirm the move.
3. Spotting Market Reversals
When the price touches the top of the band, a sell is generated, and prices should revert back to mean, or the middle moving average band.
If the price touches the bottom of the band, traders can buy a currency, assuming that it is oversold, and will rally back towards the top of the band.
The spacing, or width of the band, is dependent on the volatility of the market, but gives traders a clear indication of where prices will go, and when to enter.
A Word of Caution!
Bollinger bands are a useful tool - but need combining with other indicators, as with any single indicator, they should not be used in isolation.
We personally feel Bollinger bands should be used with basic charting, to get the big picture - and the best timing indicator is the stochastic as stated, to filter out “false” signals
