It measures the distance between the Parabolic SAR value and the candle's open or close, capturing the alternating, trend-switching nature of the SAR. This gap is then scaled using Bollinger Bands to plot the resulting values as a standardized histogram, providing a consistent, cross-asset threshold for analyzing different financial instruments under a unified scale.
The BBandsPsar indicator fully inherits the input parameters of both underlying indicators, allowing traders to fine-tune its sensitivity and behavior for maximum flexibility.
To enable dynamic input testing for Bollinger bands, replace the existing code with a version that allows input variables to be passed dynamically into the iBands function.
