No, I have no reference. It was my own idea. The BB's calculate sd. Using 2sd 50 day BB gives what I call the "50day volatility". In this instance the 2sd upper band is ~10% above the 50 day MA, so "50 day volatility" is ~10%. All that remains is to annualise it by multiplying by 2.245.

Very simplistic, but I think it's correct too ! It is certainly useful.

(I corrected my "trading days in year" error in a later posting. VBG :>)
