Description

The default Bollinger_Bands indicator that is included with MC.Net allows standard deviations in integer values but not doubles.
I would recommend that this is modified to allow doubles, as this is a pretty standard requirement that I would expect "out of the box".
For the meantime I have made the very slight modification to allow this and uploaded the indicator to the User Defined Studies section:
http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12459
There is a similar issue with the use of doubles for the standard deviation on the PowerLanguage.Functions.BollingerBands function. The "numdevs" property only allows integer values and I do not know how to go about overriding this to allow doubles.
Please see http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue.php?issue_no=MC-1246

Steps to reproduce this issue

Open a chart. 
Add a Bollinger_Bands indicator
Try to enter a double value as the standard deviation - it doesn't allow it.
