Multi-Sigma Bands [fmb]
Multi-Sigma Bands [fmb] plots standard deviation (sigma) bands around a selectable basis (SMA, EMA, RMA, or Linear Regression). It’s designed to help you spot when price is behaving “normally” versus when it’s stretching into statistically extended territory.
What it shows
- Basis: the central reference line (your chosen basis type)
- ±1σ zone: the common range where price spends much of its time
- ±2σ zone: extended range where moves often become more emotional or trend-driven
- ±3σ zone: extreme range where price is statistically stretched (risk increases)
How to read it
- Inside ±1σ
- Often normal behaviour and mean-reverting price action around the basis.
- Between ±1σ and ±2σ
- A meaningful extension. In trends, price can “walk” these areas for longer than expected.
- Between ±2σ and ±3σ
- Rare extension. Can signal exhaustion, blow-off behaviour, or capitulation depending on direction and context.
How traders typically use it
- Trend context
- In strong uptrends, price may ride the upper bands (+1σ to +2σ) repeatedly.
- In strong downtrends, the lower bands (-1σ to -2σ) can act the same way.
- Bands show statistical stretch, not automatic reversal signals.
- Extension and risk framing
- The farther price is from the basis, the more “stretched” it is.
- That usually means chasing becomes riskier and entries require tighter confirmation.
- Range behaviour
- Ranges often oscillate around the basis, with frequent returns toward the middle zone.
Settings
- Source: what price series to use (Close by default)
- Length: lookback used for both basis and standard deviation
- Basis: SMA, EMA, RMA, or LinReg
- Stdev smoothing: optional smoothing on standard deviation for cleaner bands
- σ multipliers: customise σ1, σ2, σ3 (defaults: 1, 2, 3)
- Force Monthly Data (optional): calculate bands using a higher-timeframe source to reduce noise and focus on macro structure
