+ %UMA

ClassicScott Updated   
If you are familiar with the %B for use with Bollinger Bands, then you will understand this indicator immediately.

Designed for use with my +UMA moving average, this works in exactly the same way, with a few differences.

First off, as you can choose on which type of moving average the calculations are made, so too you will want to match this up with the one you are using. That of course goes for the standard deviation as well (just like you would with Bollinger Bands and %B). Here, because the +UMA uses highs and lows to create a sort of moving average channel, and then also to create the bands, I've opted to set the inner part of the bands as the extreme edge that the %UMA equates with the upper and lower lines.

I've added a moving average, donchian channels, and auto-plotted divergences as well, if you like. Typical color related stuff that I do. Alerts for everything.

Hope you like it!

The above image is comparing two of the same indicator, but based on different moving averages, and how it might plot divergences differently between the two.
