How to Add Bollinger Bands to a Stock Chart

What are the Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands display a graphical band, as an envelope between maximum and minimum of moving averages, in Candlestick or OHLC stock chart. These are semi-transparent Range Spline Area charts.

Steps to Add Bollinger Bands to a Candlestick Chart

1. Create a regular or derived Candlestick chart.
2. In any other existing column, select Stock Charts – Bollinger Band. A new empty column may be added at the end.
3. Or, as an alternative, add a new empty column and select this chart type for it.
