The "Eichberger Bands" EasyLanguage code is available on request

"Eichberger Bands" Indicators share the same set of Parameters - see below -
allowing you to adjust the responsiveness/lookback period - to your particular market
.
 

Eichberger Band Parameters:
Lookback(40) number bars to lookback for the EB calculations (Default is 40 Bars)
Width(100) Specifies the Band/Envelope Width in Percent (Default is 100%) - 200% = double the width 
ExtensionType(1) Specifies how we extend from the last confirmed point (Default is 1) 
ColorUp(Green),
ColorDown(Red)
Specifies the trend color to be used
(EB_Trend only)
RefWidth(100) Specifies the reference percent - (Default is 100 = 1%)  (EB_Width only)
ShowPercent(true) Specifies if the Width is shown as percent or price difference (EB_Width only)
   
Lookback:
Specifies the number bars to be used for the Eichberger Band Calculations (Default is 40 Bars):
Lookback=150 Bars(Maximum):

Lookback=80 Bars:

Lookback=40 Bars (Default):

Lookback=20 Bars:

Band Width:
Specifies the width (in percent) of the bands (Default is 100%) - Example below:
Width=50:

Width=100% (Default):

Width=200%:

Width=400%
 
Extension Type:
Specifies how we extend from the last confirmed point - using Sample Workspace (EB4.tsw)
ExtendType(0)  -  No Extension: we just stop drawing at the last confirmed point:

ExtendType(1)  -  AverageOffset(Best Method): Use offset logic of recent price changes

ExtendType(2)  -  Fixed Width: Use fixed Width and price offset

ExtendType(3)  -  Price Changes: Use price differences from last point:

ExtendType(4)  -  FixedAngle: Use a straight line of the recent angle of each track (High, Center. Low): 

ExtendType(5)  -  FixedLine: Use a straight line of the average of each track (High, Center. Low): 

ExtendType(6)  -  Horizontal Line from last confirmed point:

The extension if the three tracks (High, Center, Low) is needed, 
because the confirmed points ends before the last Bar (half the lookback).
Example: With a lookback of 40 bars - the last 20 bars need to be extended.

 

Eichberger Bands and Bollinger Bands:

The "Eichberger Bands" indicators offer the following improvements to the widely used "Bollinger Bands":
  • Midline always follows the current price
  • Envelope/Band does not overshoot
  • Envelope/ Band are more stable
  • Detecting all envelope touches

The following chart clarifies the differences:

For this example - we used GMCR 2 Minutes IntraDay from June 27th, 2014 (EBC.tsw)  

These improvements allows the "Eichberger Bands" Oscillator(EB_Osc) to give more significant signals:

Convert price noise into smooth tradable dance between ups/downs! 

Example of a typical noisy Price Pattern:

Step1: Create mathematical "envelope" - red=Top, green=botton range:

The "Eichberger Bands" model tracks the High an Lows independently and their angle etc.
This avoids the overshooting of the volatile Bollinger Bands (yellow lines),
because the "Eichberger Bands" does not use a simple moving average for the anchoring center Bollinger line,
around with the deviation width is simply added/substracted.

Step2: Normalize the price against the smooth ranges:

 (Example GMCR 2Min Jun 27, 2014)

RISK DISCLOSURE:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: Professional Software Solutions(PSS), also known as PSS assumes no responsibility for your trading results. Past performance does not guarantee future performance and Professional Software Solutions does not make any performance representations or guarantees. Any chart or trading demonstration produced by Professional Software Solutions representing trades and using any systems/methods on the www.ProfSoftware.com website or in any advertisement, seminar, brochure, magazine or online demonstrations are to be considered hypothetical trades for educational purposes only. No trading system can guarantee profits. Hypothetical trading results can be unreliable.
