Indicators Bollinger Bands and iBands() accept only integer deviation?

Is it true that the indicators Bollinger Bands and the equivalent iBands accept only integer standard deviation values?

I find that the custom indicator, Bands, makes a Bollinger band of any number of standard deviation (e.g. 2.5). For my EA, I need Bollinger Bands with width 2.5 Std Devs. Is the only way to use iCustom() to extract the upper and lower lines?

Any other ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Jellybean.

Calculate Standard Deviation and adjust that result by any value you like, and plot it.

Thank you, phy

I will do that or possibly just copy the relevant bits of Bands.

Cheers
