Which worked fine , but the snap shot doesn't .
It looks like it could use one more ..... ) ......
but that gives an error to .

It's just an experiment . thx .

T2020, you would need to pass a dataseries to the SMA, not a double (no index after the Middle) -

 
SMA(Bollinger(1, 30).Middle, 20)

Yes, without choosing to retrieve an index value a dataseries is passed to the SMA - when you apply an index you retrieve a double value of the Middle dataseries...this generated the error you ran into, an SMA needs a history to calculate thus a dataseries is expected.
