The SMA and BB use the RSI as a source. The source of the RSI is selectable. With the right settings, you can effectively determine the trend phase and trend strength.
I personally use the following settings: RSI with a 14-period applied to Price Close. The SMA has a 26-period, and the Bollinger Bands have a period of 50 with a deviation of 2.
