The prices
The bands
The last close of 99.33 is inside the bands, near the middle: %B is 0.58, with the bands at 97.81 and 100.44.
- Middle band
- 99.12, the 20-close simple average; each band sits 1.31 (2 standard deviations) away.
- Bandwidth
- 2.65% of the price. The bands are the narrowest of the last 21 readings: a squeeze. Quiet spells can end in a bigger move, but the bands do not say which way.
- Read it with care
- In a strong trend the price can ride a band for weeks. A touch of a band is a description, not a signal.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

A moving average with a width
Bollinger bands draw a line two standard deviations above and below a 20-close average, so they widen when the price swings and narrow when it goes quiet. %B says where the close sits: 0 on the lower band, 1 on the upper, above 1 or below 0 outside them. The bandwidth is the gap between the bands as a share of the price.
A close outside a band is not a reversal on its own; strong trends walk along a band. A squeeze, the narrowest bands in a while, shows a quiet market, not the direction of the next move. Check the swing in numbers with the historical volatility calculator and the ATR calculator, and the one-sidedness of the moves with the RSI calculator.
