Standard Error Bands are plotted at standard error levels above and below a linear regression plot. The standard error measures how closely prices congregate around a linear regression line. The closer prices are to the linear regression line, the higher the r-squared value and the stronger the trend. 

Jon Anderson developed standard error bands that are a type of envelope. Standard error bands are similar to Bollinger Bands in appearance but are calculated and interpreted quite differently.
