Bollinger Lower Band
What SteadyEdge calculates
This page documents the exact runtime calculation for the listed filter IDs. Formula symbols use O , H , L , C , and V for the current candle open, high, low, close, and volume; p is the configured lookback.
- Registry filter IDs: bollinger_lower
Exact formula
middle = SMA(C, period)
std = population standard deviation of C over period
lower = middle - std_dev*std
Parameters, defaults, and bounds
- period : default 20 ; 2–100
- std_dev : default 2 ; 0.001–50

Data, timing, and warm-up
Candle filters use the rule timeframe and the latest candle at or before the evaluation time. A non-finite calculated value does not pass.
Every rule in the same filter set must pass. Test Filters and a backtest validate the complete set.
