📌 Bollinger Bands Middle Line Setting

The middle line in Bollinger Bands is a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) by default.

📌 Formula for Bollinger Bands:

Upper Band = 20-period SMA + (Standard Deviation × 2)
Middle Band (Baseline) = 20-period SMA (Simple Moving Average)
Lower Band = 20-period SMA - (Standard Deviation × 2)

✅ Standard Settings for Bollinger Bands:

Period: 20
Standard Deviation: 2
Bands Used: Upper, Middle (SMA), Lower

📌 Custom Adjustments:

Use 50-period SMA for longer trends (like weekly charts).
Use 10-period SMA for short-term trends (like 1H or 4H charts).
