คำอธิบายอินดิเคเตอร์:
อินดิเคเตอร์ SD Bands (Standard Deviation Bands) เป็นเครื่องมือวิเคราะห์ทางเทคนิคที่ออกแบบมาเพื่อวัดความผันผวนของราคาและระบุโอกาสในการเทรดที่อาจเกิดขึ้น อินดิเคเตอร์นี้จะแสดงผลเป็นเส้นขอบ 2 เส้นบนกราฟราคาโดยตรง โดยอ้างอิงจากค่าเฉลี่ยเคลื่อนที่ (Moving Average) และค่าส่วนเบี่ยงเบนมาตรฐาน (Standard Deviation)
* เส้นบน (Upper Band): แสดงระดับที่ราคาเคลื่อนไหวสูงกว่าค่าเฉลี่ย
* เส้นล่าง (Lower Band): แสดงระดับที่ราคาเคลื่อนไหวต่ำกว่าค่าเฉลี่ย
ความกว้างของช่องระหว่างเส้นทั้งสองบ่งบอกถึงระดับความผันผวนของตลาดในปัจจุบัน
วิธีการใช้งานอย่างละเอียด:
คุณสามารถนำอินดิเคเตอร์ SD Bands ไปประยุกต์ใช้ได้หลายวิธีเพื่อประกอบการตัดสินใจ ดังนี้:
1. การใช้เป็นแนวรับ-แนวต้านแบบไดนามิก (Dynamic Support & Resistance)
* แนวรับ: เมื่อราคาวิ่งลงมาแตะหรือเข้าใกล้เส้นล่าง (เส้นสีน้ำเงิน) เส้นนี้อาจทำหน้าที่เป็นแนวรับชั่วคราวและมีโอกาสที่ราคาจะเด้งกลับขึ้นไปหาเส้นกลาง
* แนวต้าน: เมื่อราคาวิ่งขึ้นไปแตะหรือเข้าใกล้เส้นบน (เส้นสีแดง) เส้นนี้อาจทำหน้าที่เป็นแนวต้านชั่วคราวและมีโอกาสที่ราคาจะย่อตัวลงมา
2. การวัดความผันผวนและสัญญาณ Breakout
* ช่วงตลาดสงบ (Low Volatility): เมื่อเส้น SD ทั้งสองเส้นบีบตัวเข้าหากันเป็นช่องที่แคบมาก (คล้ายกับ Bollinger Squeeze) แสดงว่าตลาดมีความผันผวนต่ำมาก ซึ่งมักจะเป็นสัญญาณว่ากำลังจะเกิดการเคลื่อนไหวครั้งใหญ่ (Breakout)
* ช่วงตลาดเป็นเทรนด์ (High Volatility): เมื่อเส้น SD ขยายตัวกว้างออกอย่างรวดเร็ว พร้อมกับที่ราคาวิ่งอยู่นอกขอบ แสดงว่าตลาดเข้าสู่ช่วงเทรนด์ที่แข็งแกร่งและมีโมเมนตัมสูง
3. สัญญาณการกลับตัว (Reversal Signals)
* เมื่อราคาปิดแท่งเทียน นอกเส้น SD Bands อย่างชัดเจน (โดยเฉพาะหลังจากที่เทรนด์นั้นดำเนินมานาน) อาจเป็นสัญญาณว่าแรงซื้อ/แรงขายเริ่มอ่อนกำลังลง และมีโอกาสที่จะเกิดการกลับตัวของราคาในไม่ช้า
การตั้งค่าอินพุต (Input Parameters):
* ระยะเวลา (Length): กำหนดจำนวนแท่งเทียนที่ใช้ในการคำนวณค่าเฉลี่ยและ SD
* 20: สำหรับการวิเคราะห์ระยะสั้นถึงกลาง
* 50 หรือ 100: สำหรับการวิเคราะห์ระยะยาว
* ตัวคูณ (Multiplier): กำหนดระยะห่างของเส้น SD จากค่าเฉลี่ย
* 1.0 - 2.0: เส้นจะอยู่ใกล้ราคามากขึ้น ทำให้เกิดสัญญาณบ่อยขึ้น
* 2.0 - 3.0: เส้นจะอยู่ห่างจากราคามากขึ้น ทำให้เกิดสัญญาณที่น่าเชื่อถือมากขึ้น แต่จะเกิดไม่บ่อย
ข้อควรระวังและคำเตือน:
* อินดิเคเตอร์นี้เป็นเพียง เครื่องมือวิเคราะห์ เพื่อช่วยในการตัดสินใจ ไม่ใช่สัญญาณการซื้อขายที่ถูกต้อง 100%
* ควรใช้ร่วมกับเครื่องมืออื่นๆ เช่น RSI, MACD, หรือ Volume เพื่อยืนยันสัญญาณ
* การเทรดมีความเสี่ยงสูง ควรบริหารจัดการความเสี่ยงและตั้งจุด Stop Loss ทุกครั้ง

Standard Deviation Bands
Indicator Description:
The SD Bands (Standard Deviation Bands) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to measure price volatility and identify potential trading opportunities. The indicator displays two dynamic bands directly on the price chart, based on a moving average and a customizable standard deviation multiplier.
* Upper Band: Indicates price levels above the moving average.
* Lower Band: Indicates price levels below the moving average.
The width of the channel between these two bands provides a clear picture of current market volatility.
Detailed User Guide:
You can use SD Bands in several ways to enhance your trading decisions:
1. Dynamic Support and Resistance:
These bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
* Support: When the price moves down and touches or approaches the lower band, it can act as support, offering the possibility of a rebound to the average.
* Resistance: When the price moves up and touches or approaches the upper band, it can act as resistance, offering the possibility of a rebound.
2. Volatility Measurement and Breakout Signals:
* Low Volatility (Squeeze): When the two bands converge and form a narrow channel. Indicates very low market volatility. This condition often occurs before significant price movements or breakouts.
* High Volatility (Expansion): When the bands expand and widen rapidly, it indicates that the market is entering a period of strong trending momentum with high momentum.
3. Reversal Signals:
* When the price closes significantly outside the SD Bands (especially after a long-term trend), it may signal that the current momentum has expired and a reversal may be imminent.
Input Parameters:
The indicator's parameters are fully customizable to suit your trading style:
* Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation.
* 20: Suitable for short- to medium-term analysis.
* 50 or 100: Suitable for long-term trend analysis.
* Multiplier: Adjusts the sensitivity of the signal bars.
* 1.0 - 2.0: Creates narrower signal bars, leading to more frequent signals.
* 2.0 - 3.0: Creates wider signal bars, providing fewer but potentially more significant signals.
Important Warning:
* This indicator is an analytical tool only. It does not provide guaranteed buy or sell signals.
* Always use it in conjunction with other indicators (such as RSI, MACD, and Volume) for confirmation.
* Trading involves high risk. Proper risk management, including the use of stop-loss orders, is recommended.
You can use this structure for your posts on TradingView. Good luck with your indicators!

Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands# Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands
## Overview
The Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands indicator combines two powerful analytical approaches: Gamma-weighted Exponential Moving Averages and Fibonacci sequence-based standard EMAs. This dual system creates a comprehensive "band" structure that helps identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversal zones with greater precision than single moving average systems.
## Features
- **Gamma-weighted EMAs**: Three customizable Gamma EMAs (fast-responding) with adjustable gamma parameters
- **Fibonacci Sequence EMAs**: Six standard EMAs based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377)
- **Visual Band Structure**: Color-coded for instant visual analysis
- **Trend Confirmation**: Multiple timeframe validation through varied moving average periods
- **Support/Resistance Identification**: Natural price reaction zones highlighted by EMA confluences
## How It Works
The indicator uses two complementary EMA systems:
1. **Gamma EMAs** (γ-EMAs) - These responsive moving averages use a direct gamma weighting factor (between 0-1) rather than a period length. Lower gamma values create smoother lines, while higher values create more responsive ones. These react quickly to price changes and serve as short-term trend indicators.
2. **Fibonacci EMAs** - These traditional EMAs use period lengths based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377). They provide longer-term trend context and naturally identify key support/resistance levels that align with market psychology.
## Interpretation
### Trend Direction
- When price is above all bands: Strong bullish trend
- When price is below all bands: Strong bearish trend
- When price is between bands: Consolidation or trend transition
### Support/Resistance
- Gamma EMAs (purple shades): Short-term dynamic support/resistance
- Fibonacci EMAs (orange/red shades): Stronger, longer-term support/resistance
### Trend Strength
- Wider band separation: Stronger trend momentum
- Compressed bands: Consolidation or trend weakness
### Reversal Signals
- Price breaking through multiple bands: Potential trend reversal
- Gamma EMAs crossing Fibonacci EMAs: Changing momentum
## Settings
- **Source**: Price data source (default: close)
- **Gamma 1**: Fast γ-EMA value (default: 0.2)
- **Gamma 2**: Medium γ-EMA value (default: 0.5)
- **Gamma 3**: Slow γ-EMA value (default: 0.8)
## Notes
This indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H+) and liquid markets. The Gamma-weighted EMAs provide faster signals while the Fibonacci sequence EMAs provide reliable support/resistance levels that often align with key market turning points.
For optimal use, watch for price interaction with these bands and how the bands interact with each other to confirm trend changes before they become obvious to the majority of market participants.
Linear Regression with StdDev BandsLinear Regression with Standard Deviation Bands Indicator
This indicator plots a linear regression line along with upper and lower bands based on standard deviation. It helps identify potential overbought and oversold conditions, as well as trend direction and strength.
Key Components:
Linear Regression Line: Represents the average price over a specified period.
Upper and Lower Bands: Calculated by adding and subtracting the standard deviation (multiplied by a user-defined factor) from the linear regression line. These bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The direction of the linear regression line indicates the prevailing trend.
Overbought/Oversold Signals: Prices approaching or crossing the upper band may suggest overbought conditions, while prices near the lower band may indicate oversold conditions.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The bands can act as potential support and resistance levels.
Alerts: Option to enable alerts when the price crosses above the upper band or below the lower band.
Customization:
Regression Length: Adjust the period over which the linear regression is calculated.
StdDev Multiplier: Modify the width of the bands by changing the standard deviation multiplier.
Price Source: Choose which price data to use for calculations (e.g., close, open, high, low).
Alerts: Enable or disable alerts for band crossings.
This indicator is a versatile tool for understanding price trends and potential reversal points.
Adaptive Bollinger BandsAdaptive Bollinger Bands
This indicator displays Bollinger Bands with parameters that dynamically adjust based on market volatility. Unlike standard Bollinger Bands with fixed parameters, this version adaptively modifies both the period and standard deviation multiplier in real-time based on measured market conditions.
Key Features
Dynamic adjustment of period and standard deviation based on normalized volatility
Color-coded visualization of current volatility regime (expanding, normal, contracting)
Integration with Keltner Channels for band refinement
Bandwidth analysis for volatility regime identification
Optional on-chart parameter labels showing current settings
Band cross alerts and visual markers
Volatility Visualization
The indicator uses color-coding to display different volatility regimes:
Red: Expanding volatility regime (higher measured volatility)
Blue: Normal volatility regime (average measurements)
Green: Contracting volatility regime (lower measured volatility)
Technical Information
The indicator calculates volatility by analyzing price returns over a configurable lookback period (default 50 bars). The standard deviation of returns is normalized against historical extremes to create an adaptive scaling factor.
Band adaptation occurs through two primary mechanisms:
1. Period adjustment: Higher volatility uses shorter periods (more responsive), while lower volatility uses longer periods (more stable)
2. Standard deviation multiplier adjustment: Higher volatility increases the multiplier (wider bands), while lower volatility decreases it (tighter bands)
The middle band uses a simple moving average with the adaptive period. Additional refinement occurs through Keltner Channel integration, which can tighten bands when contained within Keltner boundaries.
Volatility regimes are determined by analyzing Bollinger Bandwidth relative to its recent history, providing contextual information about the current market state.
Settings Customization
The indicator provides extensive customization options:
- Base parameters (period and standard deviation)
- Adaptive range limits (min/max period and standard deviation)
- Keltner Channel parameters for band refinement
- Bandwidth analysis settings
- Display options for visual elements
Limitations and Considerations
All technical indicators have inherent limitations and should not be used in isolation
Past performance does not guarantee future results
The indicator requires sufficient historical data for proper volatility normalization
Smaller timeframes may produce more noise in the adaptive calculations
Parameters may require adjustment for different markets and trading styles
Band crosses are not trading signals on their own and should be evaluated with other factors
This indicator is designed to provide objective information about market volatility conditions and potential support/resistance zones. Always combine with other analysis methods within a comprehensive trading approach.
Elliptic bands
Why Elliptic?
Unlike traditional indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands with constant standard deviation multiples), the elliptic model introduces a cyclical, non-linear variation in band width. This reflects the idea that price movements often follow rhythmic patterns, widening and narrowing in a predictable yet dynamic way, akin to natural market cycles.
Buy: When the price enters from below (green triangle).
Sell: When the price enters from above (red triangle).
Inputs
MA Length: 50 (This is the period for the central Simple Moving Average (SMA).)
Cycle Period: 50 (This is the elliptic cycle length.)
Volatility Multiplier: 2.0 (This value scales the band width.)
Mathematical Foundation
The indicator is based on the ellipse equation. The basic formula is:
Ellipse Equation:
(x^2) / (a^2) + (y^2) / (b^2) = 1
Solving for y:
y = b * sqrt(1 - (x^2) / (a^2))
Parameters Explained:
a: Set to 1 (normalized).
x: Varies from -1 to 1 over the period.
b: Calculated as:
ta.stdev(close, MA Length) * Volatility Multiplier
(This represents the standard deviation of the close prices over the MA period, scaled by the volatility multiplier.)
y (offset): Represents the band distance from the moving average, forming the elliptic cycle.
Behavior
Bands:
The bands are narrow at the cycle edges (when the offset is 0) and become widest at the midpoint (when the offset equals b).
Trend:
The central moving average (MA) shows the overall trend direction, while the bands adjust according to the volatility.
Signals:
Standard buy and sell signals are generated when the price interacts with the bands.
Practical Use
Trend Identification:
If the price is above the MA, it indicates an uptrend; if below, a downtrend.
Support and Resistance:
The elliptic bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Narrowing bands may signal potential trend reversals.
Breakouts:
Multi-Band Comparison (Uptrend)Multi-Band Comparison
Overview:
The Multi-Band Comparison indicator is engineered to reveal critical levels of support and resistance in strong uptrends. In a healthy upward market, the price action will adhere closely to the 95th percentile line (the Upper Quantile Band), effectively “riding” it. This indicator combines a modified Bollinger Band (set at one standard deviation), quantile analysis (95% and 5% levels), and power‑law math to display a dynamic picture of market structure—highlighting a “golden channel” and robust support areas.
Key Components & Calculations:
The Golden Channel: Upper Bollinger Band & Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile
Upper Bollinger Band:
Calculation:
boll_upper=SMA(close,length)+(boll_mult×stdev)
boll_upper=SMA(close,length)+(boll_mult×stdev) Here, the 20-period SMA is used along with one standard deviation of the close, where the multiplier (boll_mult) is 1.0.
Role in an Uptrend:
In a healthy uptrend, price rides near the 95th percentile line. When price crosses above this Upper Bollinger Band, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile (95th Percentile) Band:
Calculation:
quant_upper_std_up=quant_upper+stdev
quant_upper_std_up=quant_upper+stdev The Upper Quantile Band, quant_upperquant_upper, is calculated as the 95th percentile of recent price data. Adding one standard deviation creates an extension that accounts for normal volatility around this extreme level.
The Golden Channel:
When the price crosses above the Upper Bollinger Band, the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile immediately shifts to gold (yellow) and remains gold until price falls below the Bollinger level. Together, these two lines form the “golden channel”—a visual hallmark of a healthy uptrend where the price reliably hugs the 95th percentile level.
Upper Power‑Law Band
Calculation:
The Upper Power‑Law Band is derived in two steps:
Determine the Extreme Return Factor:
power_upper=Percentile(returns,95%)
power_upper=Percentile(returns,95%) where returns are computed as:
returns=closeclose −1.
returns=close close−1.
Scale the Current Price:
power_upper_band=close×(1+power_upper)
power_upper_band=close×(1+power_upper)
Rationale and Correlation:
By focusing on the upper 5% of returns (reflecting “fat tails”), the Upper Power‑Law Band captures extreme but statistically expected movements. In an uptrend, its value often converges with the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile because both measures reflect heightened volatility and extreme price levels. When the Upper Power‑Law Band exceeds the Upper Std Dev Band, it can signal a temporary overextension.
Upper Quantile Band (95% Percentile)
Calculation:
quant_upper=Percentile(price,95%)
quant_upper=Percentile(price,95%) This level represents where 95% of past price data falls below, and in a robust uptrend the price action practically rides this line.
Color Logic:
Its color shifts from a neutral (blackish) tone to a vibrant, bullish hue when the Upper Power‑Law Band crosses above it—signaling extra strength in the trend.
Lower Quantile and Its Support
Lower Quantile Band (5% Percentile):
Calculation:
quant_lower=Percentile(price,5%)
quant_lower=Percentile(price,5%)
Behavior:
In a healthy uptrend, price remains well above the Lower Quantile Band. It turns red only when price touches or crosses it, serving as a warning signal. Under normal conditions it remains bright green, indicating the market is not nearing these extreme lows.
Lower Std Dev Band of the Lower Quantile:
This line is calculated by subtracting one standard deviation from quant_lowerquant_lower and typically serves as absolute support in nearly all conditions (except during gap or near-gap moves). Its consistent role as support provides traders with a robust level to monitor.
How to Use the Indicator:
Golden Channel and Trend Confirmation:
As price rides the Upper Quantile (95th percentile) perfectly in a healthy uptrend, the Upper Bollinger Band (1 stdev above SMA) and the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile form a “golden channel” once price crosses above the Bollinger level. When this occurs, the Upper Std Dev Band remains gold until price dips back below the Bollinger Band. This visual cue reinforces trend strength.
Power‑Law Insights:
The Upper Power‑Law Band, which is based on extreme (95th percentile) returns, tends to align with the Upper Std Dev Band. This convergence reinforces that extreme, yet statistically expected, price moves are occurring—indicating that even though the price rides the 95th percentile, it can only stretch so far before a correction or consolidation.
Support Indicators:
Primary and Secondary Support in Uptrends:
The Upper Bollinger Band and the Lower Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile act as support zones for minor retracements in the uptrend.
Absolute Support:
The Lower Std Dev Band of the Lower Quantile serves as an almost invariable support area under most market conditions.
Conclusion:
The Multi-Band Comparison indicator unifies advanced statistical techniques to offer a clear view of uptrend structure. In a healthy bull market, price action rides the 95th percentile line with precision, and when the Upper Bollinger Band is breached, the corresponding Upper Std Dev Band turns gold to form a “golden channel.” This, combined with the Power‑Law analysis that captures extreme moves, and the robust lower support levels, provides traders with powerful, multi-dimensional insights for managing entries, exits, and risk.

Multi-Period % Change Bands (Extreme Dots)Multiple Period Percentage Change Extreme Dots
This indicator visualizes percentage changes across three different timeframes (8, 13, and 21 days), highlighting extreme movements that break out of a user-defined band. It's designed to identify which timeframe is showing the most significant percentage change when prices make notable moves.
Features:
- Tracks percentage changes for 8-day, 13-day, and 21-day periods
- Customizable upper and lower bands to define significant moves
- Shows dots only for the most extreme moves (highest above band or lowest below band)
- Color-coded for easy identification:
- Blue: 8-day changes
- Green: 13-day changes
- Red: 21-day changes
- Includes current values display for all timeframes
Usage Tips:
- Shorter timeframes (8-day) are more sensitive to price changes and should use narrower bands (e.g., ±3%)
- Medium timeframes (13-day) work well with moderate bands (e.g., ±5%)
- Longer timeframes (21-day) can use wider bands (e.g., ±8%)
- Dots appear only when a timeframe shows the most extreme move above/below bands
- Use the gray zone between bands to identify normal price action ranges
The indicator helps identify which lookback period is showing the strongest momentum in either direction, while filtering out normal market noise within the bands.
Note: This is particularly useful for:
- Identifying trend strength across different timeframes
- Spotting which duration is showing the most extreme moves
- Filtering out minor fluctuations through the band system
- Comparing relative strength of moves across different periods
Bollinger Bands with RSI Buy/Sell Signals (15 min) Bollinger Bands with RSI Buy/Sell Signals (15 Min)
Description:
The Bollinger Bands with RSI Buy/Sell Signals (15 Min) indicator is designed to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market using two popular technical indicators: Bollinger Bands and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
How It Works:
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands consist of an upper band, lower band, and a middle line (Simple Moving Average). These bands adapt to market volatility, expanding during high volatility and contracting during low volatility.
This indicator monitors the 15-minute Bollinger Bands. If the price moves completely outside the bands, it signals that the market is potentially overextended.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. RSI readings above 70 indicate an overbought condition, while readings below 30 suggest an oversold condition.
This indicator uses the RSI on the 15-minute time frame to further confirm overbought and oversold conditions.
Buy/Sell Signal Generation:
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is triggered when the market price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band on the 15-minute time frame, indicating that the market may be oversold.
Additionally, the RSI must be below 30, confirming an oversold condition.
A "Buy" label appears below the price when this condition is met.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is triggered when the market price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band on the 15-minute time frame, indicating that the market may be overbought.
The RSI must be above 70, confirming an overbought condition.
A "Sell" label appears above the price when this condition is met.
Larry Connors %b Strategy (Bollinger Band)Larry Connors’ %b Strategy is a mean-reversion trading approach that uses Bollinger Bands to identify buy and sell signals based on the %b indicator. This strategy was developed by Larry Connors, a renowned trader and author known for his systematic, data-driven trading methods, particularly those focusing on short-term mean reversion.
The %b indicator measures the position of the current price relative to the Bollinger Bands, which are volatility bands placed above and below a moving average. The strategy specifically targets times when prices are oversold within a long-term uptrend and aims to capture rebounds by buying at relatively low points and selling at relatively high points.
Strategy Rules
The basic rules of the %b Strategy are:
1. Trend Confirmation: The closing price must be above the 200-day moving average. This filter ensures that trades are made in alignment with a longer-term uptrend, thereby avoiding trades against the primary market trend.
2. Oversold Conditions: The %b indicator must be below 0.2 for three consecutive days. The %b value below 0.2 indicates that the price is near the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting an oversold condition.
3. Entry Signal: Enter a long position at the close when conditions 1 and 2 are met.
4. Exit Signal: Exit the position when the %b value closes above 0.8, signaling an overbought condition where the price is near the upper Bollinger Band.
How the Strategy Works
This strategy operates on the premise of mean reversion, which suggests that extreme price movements will revert to the mean over time. By entering positions when the %b value indicates an oversold condition (below 0.2) in a confirmed uptrend, the strategy attempts to capture short-term price rebounds. The exit rule (when %b is above 0.8) aims to lock in profits once the price reaches an overbought condition, often near the upper Bollinger Band.
Who Was Larry Connors?
Larry Connors is a well-known figure in the world of financial markets and trading. He co-authored several influential trading books, including “Short-Term Trading Strategies That Work” and “High Probability ETF Trading.” Connors is recognized for his quantitative approach, focusing on systematic, rules-based strategies that leverage historical data to validate trading edges.
His work primarily revolves around short-term trading strategies, often using technical indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), Bollinger Bands, and moving averages. Connors’ methodologies have been widely adopted by traders seeking structured approaches to exploit short-term inefficiencies in the market.
Risks of the Strategy
While the %b Strategy can be effective, particularly in mean-reverting markets, it is not without risks:
1. Mean Reversion Assumption: The strategy is based on the assumption that prices will revert to the mean. In trending or sharply falling markets, this reversion may not occur, leading to sustained losses.
2. False Signals in Choppy Markets: In volatile or sideways markets, the strategy may generate multiple false signals, resulting in whipsaw trades that can erode capital through frequent small losses.
3. No Stop Loss: The basic implementation of the strategy does not include a stop loss, which increases the risk of holding losing trades longer than intended, especially if the market continues to move against the position.
4. Performance During Market Crashes: During major market downturns, the strategy’s buy signals could be triggered frequently as prices decline, compounding losses without the presence of a risk management mechanism.
Scientific References and Theoretical Basis
The %b Strategy relies on the concept of mean reversion, which has been extensively studied in finance literature. Studies by Avellaneda and Lee (2010) and Bouchaud et al. (2018) have demonstrated that mean-reverting strategies can be profitable in specific market environments, particularly when combined with volatility filters like Bollinger Bands. However, the same studies caution that such strategies are highly sensitive to market conditions and often perform poorly during periods of prolonged trends.
Bollinger Bands themselves were popularized by John Bollinger and are widely used to assess price volatility and detect potential overbought and oversold conditions. The %b value is a critical part of this analysis, as it standardizes the position of price relative to the bands, making it easier to compare conditions across different securities and time frames.
Conclusion
Larry Connors’ %b Strategy is a well-known mean-reversion technique that leverages Bollinger Bands to identify buying opportunities in uptrending markets when prices are temporarily oversold. While the strategy can be effective under the right conditions, traders should be aware of its limitations and risks, particularly in trending or highly volatile markets. Incorporating risk management techniques, such as stop losses, could help mitigate some of these risks, making the strategy more robust against adverse market conditions.
Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV)Overview
The Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV) indicator enhances the traditional Bollinger Bands by dynamically adjusting their width and position based on momentum and volume. This provides a more responsive and context-aware indication of price volatility and potential reversals.
Key Features
Momentum Adjusted Bands: Adjusts the bands' width based on the momentum indicator, reflecting the rate of change in price.
Volume Weighted Bands: Further adjusts the bands based on trading volume to reflect market activity and price volatility.
Signal Alerts: Provides buy and sell signals based on price action relative to the dynamic bands, helping traders identify entry and exit points.
Customizable Parameters: Allows users to adjust the lookback period, momentum sensitivity, and volume weighting for personalized analysis.
How It Works
The DBBMV indicator starts with the traditional Bollinger Bands, which are calculated using a moving average and standard deviation of the selected price source. The width of these bands is then adjusted based on the momentum of the price, making them more sensitive to price changes. Further adjustments are made based on trading volume, which ensures that the bands accurately reflect current market conditions. This results in a set of dynamic Bollinger Bands that provide more nuanced insights into price volatility and potential reversals.
Usage Instructions
Identify Volatile Periods: Use the dynamically adjusted bands to identify periods of high and low volatility in the market.
Spot Reversals: Look for buy signals when the price crosses above the lower band and sell signals when the price crosses below the upper band.
Adjust Sensitivity: Customize the lookback period, momentum sensitivity, and volume weighting to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and market conditions.
Enhance Analysis: Combine the DBBMV indicator with other technical analysis tools for a more comprehensive market analysis.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume-weighted adjustments to confirm the strength of price movements and potential breakouts.
The Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV) indicator provides traders with a powerful tool to understand market dynamics better and make informed trading decisions based on adjusted volatility and market activity.
EMA 9/13/18/25 + Bollinger BandThe indicator combines two components: Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Bollinger Bands.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): The indicator calculates four EMAs with different periods: 9, 13, 18, and 25. An Exponential Moving Average is a type of moving average that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. As the name suggests, it's an average of the asset's price over a certain period, with recent prices given more weight in the calculation, making it more responsive to recent price changes.
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands consist of a simple moving average (the basis) and two standard deviations plotted away from it. The standard deviations are multiplied by a factor (usually 2) to determine the distance from the basis. These bands dynamically adjust themselves based on recent price movements. The upper band represents the highest price level reached in the given period, while the lower band represents the lowest price level.
Combining these components provides traders with insights into both trend direction and volatility. The EMAs help identify trends by smoothing out price data, while the Bollinger Bands offer insights into volatility and potential price reversal points. Traders often use the crossovers of EMAs and interactions with Bollinger Bands to make trading decisions. For example, when the price touches the upper Bollinger Band, it may indicate overbought conditions, while touching the lower band may suggest oversold conditions. Additionally, crossovers of EMAs (such as the shorter-term EMA crossing above or below the longer-term EMA) may signal changes in trend direction.
Averaged Moving Average Ribbon with Bollinger BandsThis indicator provides a visual representation of an averaged weighted moving average (WMA) ribbon (default setting) along with Bollinger Bands on a price chart. Pay attention to how the moving average and band expand and contract, as well as where price crosses the Bollinger bands (Green and red) or the basis line (blue). Look for patterns, and exploit them to your advantage to give you another edge in trading.
>> Feel free to suggest changes or other additions in the comments :)
Here's a brief explanation of how this indicator works:
1. **Moving Average Type:** You can select the type of moving average (MA) to use from the dropdown menu. The available options are Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
2. **Bollinger Bands Deviation:** This input allows you to adjust the deviation for the Bollinger Bands. Higher values increase the width of the bands, while lower values decrease it.
3. **Moving Average Lengths:** The script calculates various moving averages (WMA, SMA, or EMA) with different lengths, ranging from 5 to 100, in increments of 5. These moving averages are used to create the ribbon.
4. **Ribbon Calculation:** The indicator calculates the selected moving average (WMA, SMA, or EMA) for each of the specified lengths. It then averages these moving averages to create a ribbon of MAs. This ribbon represents a smoother and more encompassing view of the underlying price action.
5. **Bollinger Bands:** The script also calculates and plots Bollinger Bands based on the ribbon's average. The upper Bollinger Band (green) and lower Bollinger Band (red) are plotted around the ribbon average. These bands provide insights into potential overbought and oversold conditions.
In summary, this indicator allows traders and analysts to visualize a weighted moving average ribbon with Bollinger Bands to gain a better understanding of price trends, volatility, and potential reversal points in the market. The combination of different moving average lengths and Bollinger Bands can help in making informed trading decisions.
Fair value bands / quantifytools— Overview
Fair value bands, like other band tools, depict dynamic points in price where price behaviour is normal or abnormal, i.e. trading at/around mean (price at fair value) or deviating from mean (price outside fair value). Unlike constantly readjusting standard deviation based bands, fair value bands are designed to be smooth and constant, based on typical historical deviations. The script calculates pivots that take place above/below fair value basis and forms median deviation bands based on this information. These points are then multiplied up to 3, representing more extreme deviations.
By default, the script uses OHLC4 and SMA 20 as basis for the bands. Users can form their preferred fair value basis using following options:
Price source
- Standard OHLC values
- HL2 (High + low / 2)
- OHLC4 (Open + high + low + close / 4)
- HLC3 (High + low + close / 3)
- HLCC4 (High + low + close + close / 4)
Smoothing
- SMA
- EMA
- HMA
- RMA
- WMA
- VWMA
- Median
Once fair value basis is established, some additional customization options can be employed:
Trend mode
Direction based
Cross based
Trend modes affect fair value basis color that indicates trend direction. Direction based trend considers only the direction of the defined fair value basis, i.e. pointing up is considered an uptrend, vice versa for downtrend. Cross based trends activate when selected source (same options as price source) crosses fair value basis. These sources can be set individually for uptrend/downtrend cross conditions. By default, the script uses cross based trend mode with low and high as sources.
Cross based (downtrend not triggered) vs. direction based (downtrend triggered):
Threshold band
Threshold band is calculated using typical deviations when price is trading at fair value basis. In other words, a little bit of "wiggle room" is added around the mean based on expected deviation. This feature is useful for cross based trends, as it allows filtering insignificant crosses that are more likely just noise. By default, threshold band is calculated based on 1x median deviation from mean. Users can increase/decrease threshold band width via input menu for more/less noise filtering, e.g. 2x threshold band width would require price to cross wiggle room that is 2x wider than typical, 0x erases threshold band altogether.
Deviation bands
Width of deviation bands by default is based on 1x median deviations and can be increased/decreased in a similar manner to threshold bands.
Each combination of customization options produces varying behaviour in the bands. To measure the behaviour and finding fairest representation of fair and unfair value, some data is gathered.
— Fair value metrics
Space between each band is considered a lot, named +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, -3. For each lot, time spent and volume relative to volume moving average (SMA 20) is recorded each time price is trading in a given lot:
Depending on the asset, timeframe and chosen fair value basis, shape of the distributions vary. However, practically always time is distributed in a normal bell curve shape, being highest at lots +1 to -1, gradually decreasing the further price is from the mean. This is hardly surprising, but it allows accurately determining dynamic areas of normal and abnormal price behaviour (i.e. low risk area between +1 and -1, high risk area between +-2 to +-3). Volume on the other hand is typically distributed the other way around, being lowest at lots +1 to -1 and highest at +-2 to +-3. When time and volume are distributed like so, we can conclude that 1) price being outside fair value is a rare event and 2) the more price is outside fair value, the more anomaly behaviour in volume we tend to find.
Viewing metric calculations
Metric calculation highlights can be enabled from the input menu, resulting in a lot based coloring and visibility of each lot counter (time, cumulative relative volume and average relative volume) in data window:
— Alerts
Available alerts are the following:
Individual
- High crossing deviation band (bands +1 to +3 )
- Low crossing deviation band (bands -1 to -3 )
- Low at threshold band in an uptrend
- High at threshold band in a downtrend
- New uptrend
- New downtrend
Grouped
- New uptrend or downtrend
- Deviation band cross (+1 or -1)
- Deviation band cross (+2 or -2)
- Deviation band cross (+3 or -3)
— Practical guide
Example #1 : Risk on/risk off trend following
Ideal trend stays inside fair value and provides sufficient cool offs between the moves. When this is the case, fair value bands can be used for sensible entry/exit levels within the trend.
Example #2 : Mean reversions
When price shows exuberance into an extreme deviation, followed by a stall and signs of exhaustion (wicks), an opportunity for mean reversion emerges. The higher the deviation, the more volatility in the move, the more signalling of exhaustion, the better.
Example #3 : Tweaking bands for desired behaviour
The faster the length of fair value basis, the more momentum price needs to hit extreme deviation levels, as bands too are moving faster alongside price. Decreasing fair value basis length typically leads to more quick and aggressive deviations and less steady trends outside fair value.
EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.
Disclaimer:
This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not.

Guardian BandsGuardian Bands is a volatility-adjusted trend-following trail that creates dynamic support and resistance zones around a custom moving average backbone (the Trend Flow Line – TFL).
It is designed to act as both:
a trend filter (color-coded bullish/bearish zones), and
a trailing stop tool (bands/zones adapt with volatility).
🔹 How It Works
Trend Flow Line (TFL):
The central backbone of the indicator, built from adaptive smoothing methods (HMA / EMA / KAMA / SuperSmoother). It shows the underlying trend direction.
Adaptive Bands:
Two sets of bands (inner & outer) are placed around the TFL using ATR multipliers.
In uptrend → blue zone below price (dynamic support).
In downtrend → red zone above price (dynamic resistance).
Trend Detection:
Trend is confirmed only when:
TFL slope is strong enough relative to ATR, and
Price is aligned above (bullish) or below (bearish) TFL.
(Optional) Higher Timeframe TFL confirmation.
Signals:
Buy markers appear when price bounces into the bullish zone.
Sell markers appear when price rejects from the bearish zone.
🔹 How to Use
Identify Trend:
Blue zones = market bias bullish.
Red zones = market bias bearish.
Gray TFL = neutral / indecisive.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
In uptrend, the lower zone acts like a trailing support – stops can be placed under it.
In downtrend, the upper zone acts like a trailing resistance – stops can be placed above it.
Entries:
Longs when price bounces off blue zone.
Shorts when price rejects red zone.
Exits / Stop Management:
Trail stops along the inner band.
Use the outer band as a “last defense” safety net.
🔹 Best Practices
Works on all timeframes; higher timeframes = stronger signals.
Use in combination with price action, volume, or momentum tools (RSI/MACD).
For cleaner signals, enable Higher Timeframe Confirmation in settings.
✅ Summary:
Guardian Bands highlights the path of least resistance in any trend, giving traders a visual, volatility-aware framework for entries, exits, and trailing stops.
Rolling Range Bands by tvigRolling Range Bands
Plots two dynamic price envelopes that track the highest and lowest prices over a Short and Long lookback. Use them to see near-term vs. broader market structure, evolving support/resistance, and volatility changes at a glance.
What it shows
• Short Bands: recent trading range (fast, more reactive).
• Long Bands: broader range (slow, structural).
• Optional step-line style and shaded zones for clarity.
• Option to use completed bar values to avoid intrabar jitter (no repaint).
How to read
• Price pressing the short high while the long band rises → short-term momentum in a larger uptrend.
• Price riding the short low inside a falling long band → weakness with trend alignment.
• Band squeeze (narrowing) → compression; watch for breakout.
• Band expansion (widening) → rising volatility; expect larger swings.
• Repeated touches/rejections of long bands → potential areas of support/resistance.
Inputs
• Short Window, Long Window (bars)
• Use Close only (vs. High/Low)
• Use completed bar values (stability)
• Step-line style and Band shading
Tips
• Works on any symbol/timeframe; tune windows to your market.
• For consistent scaling, pin the indicator to the same right price scale as the chart.
Not financial advice; combine with trend/volume/RSI or your system for entries/exits.
CNS - Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Band OscillatorMy hope is to optimize the settings for this indicator and reintroduce it as a "strategy" with suggested position entry and exit points shown in the price pane.
I’ve been having good results setting the “Bollinger Band MA Length” in the Input tab to between 5 and 10. You can use the standard 20 period, but your results will not be as granular.
This indicator has proven very good at finding local tops and bottoms by combining data from multiple timeframes. Use BB timeframes that are lower than the timeframe you are viewing in your price pane.
The default settings work best on the weekly timeframe, but can be adjusted for most timeframes including intraday.
Be cognizant that the indicator, like other oscillators, does occasionally produce divergences at tops and bottoms.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Overview
This indicator is an oscillator that measures the normalized position of the price relative to Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes. It takes the price's position within the Bollinger Bands (calculated on different timeframes) and averages those positions to create a single value that oscillates between 0 and 1. This value is then plotted as the oscillator, with reference lines and colored regions to help interpret the price's relative strength or weakness.
How It Works
Bollinger Band Calculation:
The indicator uses a custom function f_getBBPosition() to calculate the position of the price within Bollinger Bands for a given timeframe.
Price Position Normalization:
For each timeframe, the function normalizes the price's position between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands.
It calculates three positions based on the high, low, and close prices of the requested timeframe:
pos_high = (High - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_low = (Low - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_close = (Close - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
If the upper band is not greater than the lower band or if the data is invalid (e.g., na), it defaults to 0.5 (the midline).
The average of these three positions (avg_pos) represents the normalized position for that timeframe, ranging from 0 (at the lower band) to 1 (at the upper band).
Multi-Timeframe Averaging:
The indicator fetches Bollinger Band data from four customizable timeframes (default: 30min, 60min, 240min, daily) using request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to get the latest available data.
It calculates the normalized position (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) for each timeframe using f_getBBPosition().
These four positions are then averaged to produce the final avg_position:avg_position = (pos1 + pos2 + pos3 + pos4) / 4
This average is the oscillator value, which is plotted and typically oscillates between 0 and 1.
Moving Averages:
Two optional moving averages (MA1 and MA2) of the avg_position can be enabled, calculated using simple moving averages (ta.sma) with customizable lengths (default: 5 and 10).
These can be potentially used for MA crossover strategies.
What Is Being Averaged?
The oscillator (avg_position) is the average of the normalized price positions within the Bollinger Bands across the four selected timeframes. Specifically:It averages the avg_pos values (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) calculated for each timeframe.
Each avg_pos is itself an average of the normalized positions of the high, low, and close prices relative to the Bollinger Bands for that timeframe.
This multi-timeframe averaging smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a broader perspective on the price's position within the volatility bands.
Interpretation
0.0 The price is at or below the lower Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential oversold conditions).
0.15: A customizable level (green band) which can be used for exiting short positions or entering long positions.
0.5: The midline, where the price is at the average of the Bollinger Bands (neutral zone).
0.85: A customizable level (orange band) which can be used for exiting long positions or entering short positions.
1.0: The price is at or above the upper Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential overbought conditions).
The colored regions and moving averages (if enabled) help identify trends or crossovers for trading signals.
Example
If the 30min timeframe shows the close at the upper band (position = 1.0), the 60min at the midline (position = 0.5), the 240min at the lower band (position = 0.0), and the daily at the upper band (position = 1.0), the avg_position would be:(1.0 + 0.5 + 0.0 + 1.0) / 4 = 0.625
This value (0.625) would plot in the orange region (between 0.85 and 0.5), suggesting the price is relatively strong but not at an extreme.
Notes
The use of lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on ensures the indicator uses the latest available data, making it more real-time, though its effectiveness depends on the chart timeframe and TradingView's data feed.
The indicator’s sensitivity can be adjusted by changing bb_length ("Bollinger Band MA Length" in the Input tab), bb_mult ("Bollinger Band Standard Deviation," also in the Input tab), or the selected timeframes.

Dynamic Ray Bands is a volatility-adaptive envelope indicator that adjusts in real time to evolving market conditions. It uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) as its central trend reference, with upper and lower bands scaled according to current volatility measured by the Average True Range (ATR).
This creates a dynamic structure that visually frames price action, helping traders identify areas of potential trend continuation, overextension, or mean reversion.
How It Works
🟡 Centerline (DEMA)
The central yellow line is a Double Exponential Moving Average, which offers a smoother, less laggy trend signal than traditional moving averages. It represents the market’s short- to medium-term “equilibrium.”
🔵 Outer Bands
Plotted at:
Upper Band = DEMA + (ATR × outerMultiplier)
Lower Band = DEMA - (ATR × outerMultiplier)
These bands define the extreme bounds of current volatility. When price breaks above or below them, it can signal strong directional momentum or overbought/oversold conditions, depending on context. They're often used as trend breakout zones or to time exits after extended runs.
🟣 Inner Bands
Plotted closer to the DEMA:
Inner Upper = DEMA + (ATR × innerMultiplier)
Inner Lower = DEMA - (ATR × innerMultiplier)
These are preliminary volatility thresholds, offering early cues for potential expansion or reversal. They may be used for scalping, tight stop zones, or pre-breakout positioning.
🔁 Dynamic Width (Bands are Dynamically Adjusted Per Tick)
The width of both inner and outer bands is based on ATR (Average True Range), which is recalculated in real time. This means:
During high volatility, the bands expand, allowing for wider price fluctuations.
During low volatility, the bands contract, tightening range expectations.
Unlike fixed-width channels or standard Bollinger Bands (which use standard deviation), this per-tick adjustment via ATR enables Dynamic Ray Bands to reduce false signals in choppy markets and remain more reactive during trending conditions.
⚙️ Inputs
DMA Length — Period for the central DEMA.
ATR Length — Lookback used for ATR volatility calculations.
Outer Band Multiplier — Controls sensitivity of extreme bands.
Inner Band Multiplier — Controls proximity of inner bands.
Show Inner Bands — Toggle for plotting the inner zone.
🔔 Alerts
Alert conditions are included for:
Price closing above/below the outer bands (trend momentum or overextension)
Price closing above/below the inner bands (early signs of strength/weakness)
🧭 Use Cases
Breakout detection — Catch price continuation beyond the outer bands.
Volatility filtering — Adjust trade logic based on band width.
Mean reversion — Monitor for snapbacks toward the DEMA after price stretches too far.
Trend guidance — Use band slope and price position to confirm direction.

Faytterro Bands Breakout📌 Faytterro Bands Breakout 📌
This indicator was created as a strategy showcase for another script: Faytterro Bands
It’s meant to demonstrate a simple breakout strategy based on Faytterro Bands logic and includes performance tracking.
❓ What Is It?
This script is a visual breakout strategy based on a custom moving average and dynamic deviation bands, similar in concept to Bollinger Bands but with unique smoothing (centered regression) and performance features.
🔍 What Does It Do?
Detects breakouts above or below the Faytterro Band.
Plots visual trade entries and exits.
Labels each trade with percentage return.
Draws profit/loss lines for every trade.
Shows cumulative performance (compounded return).
Displays key metrics in the top-right corner:
Total Return
Win Rate
Total Trades
Number of Wins / Losses
🛠 How Does It Work?
Bullish Breakout: When price crosses above the upper band and stays above the midline.
Bearish Breakout: When price crosses below the lower band and stays below the midline.
Each trade is held until breakout invalidation, not a fixed TP/SL.
Trades are compounded, i.e., profits stack up realistically over time.
📈 Best Use Cases:
For traders who want to experiment with breakout strategies.
For visual learners who want to study past breakouts with performance metrics.
As a template to develop your own logic on top of Faytterro Bands.
⚠ Notes:
This is a strategy-like visual indicator, not an automated backtest.
It doesn't use strategy.* commands, so you can still use alerts and visuals.
You can tweak the logic to create your own backtest-ready strategy.
Unlike the original Faytterro Bands, this script does not repaint and is fully stable on closed candles.
MegaGas Bollinger Bands with Divergence and Circle SignalsIndicator: MegaGas Bollinger Bands with Divergence and Circle Signals
This script provides a powerful combination of Bollinger Bands, RSI Divergence detection, and signal visualization tools. Designed with flexibility and precision in mind, it aims to assist traders in identifying trend reversals, volatility zones, and divergence-based trading opportunities. The script is well-suited for swing trading, momentum trading, and even scalping when adapted to lower timeframes.
How It Works:
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are used to detect price volatility and overbought/oversold conditions. The script calculates:
Basis Line: A 34-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the core trend line.
Upper Bands: Bands positioned 1x and 2x the standard deviation above the SMA.
Lower Bands: Bands positioned 1x and 2x the standard deviation below the SMA. These levels provide dynamic support and resistance zones, highlighting breakout and reversion opportunities.
RSI Divergence Detection:
The indicator detects bullish divergence (when RSI forms a higher low while price forms a lower low) and bearish divergence (when RSI forms a lower high while price forms a higher high). These divergences often precede significant reversals or momentum shifts.
Bullish divergence is displayed with blue triangles (up).
Bearish divergence is displayed with orange triangles (down).
Buy and Sell Signals:
Circle Signals are generated when price crosses key Bollinger Bands levels:
A green circle appears when the price crosses above the lower band (potential buy signal).
A red circle appears when the price crosses below the upper band (potential sell signal).
These signals help identify potential entry and exit points for trades, particularly in trend-following or mean-reversion strategies.
Trend Reference (Moving Average):
A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is included as a trend reference, helping traders gauge the overall market direction. Use this to confirm divergence signals and avoid trades against the prevailing trend.
Why This Indicator Is Unique:
This script integrates multiple tools in a meaningful way, emphasizing contextual trading signals. Unlike standalone Bollinger Bands or RSI indicators, it introduces:
Advanced Divergence Analysis: Enhancing traditional RSI with divergence-based alerts.
Dynamic Signal Filtering: Preventing repetitive signals by introducing state-based logic for circles and divergence signals.
Trend Alignment: Combining Bollinger Bands with an SMA to filter trades based on the prevailing trend.
How to Use:
Setup:
Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe. For swing trading, higher timeframes like 4H or 1D are recommended.
Adjust the RSI, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Average lengths to match your strategy and asset.
Signals:
Look for divergence signals (triangles) as early warnings of trend reversals. Confirm these with price action or other tools.
Use circle signals (green/red) to time potential entries/exits around Bollinger Band extremes.
Confirmation:
Combine divergence and circle signals with the SMA line to avoid counter-trend trades. For example, take bullish signals when the price is above the SMA and bearish signals when it is below.
Chart Clarity:
The script is published with a clean chart for clarity. It visualizes all signals with distinct shapes (triangles and circles) and colors, ensuring they are easily recognizable. Bollinger Bands and the SMA are plotted with transparency to avoid clutter.
Originality:
This script is a thoughtful blend of Bollinger Bands and RSI divergence detection, carefully designed to provide traders with actionable insights. It introduces state-based logic to manage repetitive signals and seamlessly integrates trend filtering, making it a valuable tool for both novice and experienced traders.
