14. Bars above/below bands: The buy/sell signals for the Bollinger Bands, Keltner Bands, and the 10x8 MAC will be adjusted based on how many bars above or below the bands.  For example, if you are looking for a buy/sell signal on the Bollinger Bands and want it to be 3 bars above or below bands prior to generating a signal then the tic/pip/bar must close above or below the upper/lower limit three consecutive times before a signal is generated.
