Example

This example builds a Bollinger Bands indicator for Close prices of a stock series.

1. Add the BollingerBandsIndicator object to the chart’s collection of series (ChartView.Series).
2. Set the indicator’s Data property to a CalculatedSeriesDataAdapter class instance. Use this object’s Series property to specify a series for which the indicator should be calculated.
3. Use the ValueLevel and PointsCount properties to specify the price level of a financial series point and the number of data points used to calculate the simple moving average and standard deviation.
4. Use the StandardDeviationMultiplier property to specify the number of standard deviations that define the distance between the moving average (middle band) and the upper/lower band.
