StDevAll ( double extendToRight );
Default values:
extendToRight: No
Description
Returns the standard deviation of data
for the entire plot or for the interval of the last bars defined by the length
parameter. The difference of this function from StDev
is that the output result for the last bar is used for the whole interval calculated.
If the length
parameter is not specified, the function is calculated for the entire plot.
The startDate
(specified in the YYYYMMDD format) and startTime
(specified in the HHMM format) define the date and time for the starting point of linear regression. These parameters override any value of the length
if startDate
is non-zero.
By default, the function will return Double.NaN
at any moment in time outside the interval used for calculation of linear regression. This behavior can be changed by using non-zero values of extendToLeft
and extendToRight
parameters.
Input parameters
Parameter | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
data | - | Defines the variable for which the standard deviation is calculated. |
length | all chart | If specified, defines number of the last bars for which the curve is plotted, otherwise, the curve is plotted for the whole chart. |
startDate | 0 | If specified, defines the date of starting point for calculation of standard deviation, in the YYYYMMDD format. |
startTime | 0 | If specified, defines the time of starting point for calculation of standard deviation, in the YYYYMMDD format. |
extendToLeft | No | Defines whether or not to extend the standard deviation curve to the left of the end point. |
extendToRight | No | Defines whether or not to extend the standard deviation curve to the right of the end point. |
Example
input price = close;
def regression = InertiaAll(price, 30);
def stdDeviation = StDevAll(price, 30);
plot UpperLine = regression + stdDeviation;
plot LowerLine = regression - stdDeviation;
The example draws the Standard Deviation Channel, which is the linear regression channel spaced by standard deviation. The deviation channel is based on price
data for the last 30 bars.
