Forge Percentile Deviation Bands maps value, stretch and extension directly on price. Start with the free Lite version, then upgrade to the professional overlay when you need session VWAPs, robust deviation methods and advanced alerts.

Instead of fixed-width bands, PDB uses recent deviation behavior to show when price is stretched relative to its own context.
Use the bands to frame value, extension, and potential mean-reversion zones across futures, crypto, equities, and FX.
Lite is enough to understand the concept. Pro matters when you need VWAP context, robust methods, and alertable workflows.
