Hi @JamesIG, nice addition to indicators. 👍

Been looking for the Standard Deviation Channel indicator that goes on the chart. Can I request that for the next addition?

thanks for the feedback - I'll make sure to pass it on to the charts team. Whilst we don't have the SD Channel option, we do have the regular SD indicator which may be of interest.
