@john3 Looks like a price channel. Different calculations than BB. From charts shown look for reversals when price leaves the outer bands.
 
anyone know how to calculate the distance of the top and bottom bands? need it for a watchlist
My understanding of what you are asking is:
In dollars, compute the delta of the upper & lower bands:
Cloudy Momentum Upper Band minus Lower Band = Difference

mod note:
I am not sure if this has any great value. higher-priced instruments will have a higher dollar difference, but the ratio could be nil. Whereas a low-priced stock with any delta might be huge.
