Bollinger Bands SMA 20_2 StrategyMean reversion strategy using Bollinger Bands (20-period SMA with 2.0 standard deviation bands).
Trade Triggers:
🟢 BUY SIGNAL:
When: Price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band
Logic: Price has hit oversold territory and is bouncing back
Action: Places a long position with stop at the lower band
🔴 SELL SIGNAL:
When: Price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band
Logic: Price has hit overbought territory and is pulling back
Action: Places a short position with stop at the upper band
Strategie Bollinger Bands buy & sellMiddle Band (Basis): Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a user-defined period.
Upper Band: The middle band plus the standard deviation of the price multiplied by a user-defined multiplier.
Lower Band: The middle band minus the standard deviation of the price multiplied by the same multiplier.
User Inputs:
Length: The number of periods used for the SMA and standard deviation (default: 20).
Deviation: The multiplier for the standard deviation to calculate the upper and lower bands (default: 2.0).
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Generated when the price crosses above the lower band, indicating a potential oversold condition.
Sell Signal: Generated when the price crosses below the upper band, indicating a potential overbought condition.
Visual Markers:
Buy Signals: Displayed below the price bars as green labels with the text "BUY."
Sell Signals: Displayed above the price bars as red labels with the text "SELL."
The Bollinger Bands (upper, middle, and lower) are plotted directly on the price chart for easy visualization.
How to Use the Script:
Customize Parameters:
Modify the length and deviation inputs to adapt to different market conditions or timeframes.
Interpret Signals:
A BUY signal indicates a possible reversal or upward movement from the lower band.
A SELL signal suggests a potential price decline from the upper band.
Combine with Other Indicators:
While effective in certain conditions, this strategy performs better when combined with other technical tools, such as RSI or MACD, to confirm trends and avoid false signals.
Limitations:
This script assumes that price will revert to the mean, which may not hold during strong trends or highly volatile conditions.
It is not a standalone trading system and should be backtested and optimized before applying to real trading.
Reverse Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index Bands[CC]The Reverse Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index Bands is a custom script of mine that is another part of my RSI indicator series, which I will be publishing over the next week or so. This takes my Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index script and applies the Reverse RSI formula to create a new Bollinger Bands type indicator. This concept can work for almost any oscillator with some slight tweaking. I have a reverse RSI being calculated for each major RSI level to give you an approximation of what the price would look like if that RSI level was hit. Feel free to tweak the RSI levels of course. I will publish more Reverse indicators since that doesn't seem to be a topic that is touched on very frequently. I have color coded the indicator to show darker colors when it is a strong signal and lighter colors for normal signals. Buy when the lines turn green and sell when they turn red.
This was a custom request from @kerpiciwuasile so let me know if you want to see me publish another custom script!

Bollinger Bands Volatility Arrows
Explanation of Changes:
Arrow Style:
Green Up Arrow (▲): Indicates increasing volatility with a positive value.
Red Down Arrow (▼): Indicates decreasing volatility with a negative value.
Labels with Arrows:
label.new is used to create arrows with the label.style_label_up or label.style_label_down styles.
The numerical value of the volatility is displayed beside the arrow using str.tostring.
Label Position:
For increasing volatility, the green arrow is placed near the high of the candle.
For decreasing volatility, the red arrow is placed near the low of the candle.
Text Format:
Includes the arrow symbol and the volatility value (formatted to 4 decimal places).
How It Works:
You’ll see green upward arrows for increasing volatility and red downward arrows for decreasing volatility.

Bands Vision-XBands Vision-X (BB-Vision-X) – Full Description
Description:
Bands Vision-X is an indicator based on dynamic bands constructed from customizable moving averages and standard deviation, allowing you to visualize potential support and resistance zones, volatility, and market conditions. It uses an adjustable moving average (with multiple options such as SMA, EMA, WMA, JMA, LSMA, DEMA, and TEMA) to define the central line, and upper and lower bands calculated by standard deviation multiplied by an adjustable factor. The bands are smoothed by a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to reduce noise and improve clarity.
How to Use
The bands indicate potential support and resistance levels.
The central line serves as a dynamic price reference.
The distance between bands reflects market volatility.
Touches or breakouts of the bands may signal entry or exit opportunities.
Parameters
Parameter Description Default
Standard Error Band Period Period for moving average and standard deviation 20
Moving Average Type Type of moving average (SMA, EMA, etc.) SMA
Standard Deviation Multiplier Multiplier for standard deviation 2.0
Band Lines Smoothing Period Period for smoothing the bands (HMA) 5
Technical Notes
The JMA function used is not the original Jurik version but an approximate and open implementation based on publicly available TradingView community code.
Developed in Pine Script v6 with optimized and clean code.
Recommendations
Ideal for traders seeking a clear view of volatility and dynamic support/resistance levels.
Should not be used in isolation; it is recommended to combine with volume analysis, price action, or other technical indicators.
Adjust the period and multiplier according to the asset and timeframe for better effectiveness.
Exponential Deviation Bands Width [ChuckBanger]This indicator is a compliment to Exponential Deviation Bands . It is the difference between the upper and the lower bands divided by the middle band. It is an easy way to visualize consolidation before price movements or periods of higher volatility.
How it works
During a period of high volatility, the distance between the two bands will widen and Exponential Deviation Bands width will increase. And the opposite occurs during a period of low volatility, the distance between the two bands will contract and Exponential Deviation Bands width will decrease. Meaning there is a tendency for bands to alternate between expansion and contraction.
When the bands are relatively far apart, that is often is a sign that the current trend is ending. When the distance between the two bands is relatively narrow that often is a sign that the market is about to initiate a bigger move in either direction.
Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Fractal Chaos Bands This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
Stock market moves in a highly chaotic way, but at a larger scale, the movements
follow a certain pattern that can be applied to shorter or longer periods of time
and we can use Fractal Chaos Bands Indicator to identify those patterns. Basically,
the Fractal Chaos Bands Indicator helps us to identify whether the stock market is
trending or not. When a market is trending, the bands will have a slope and if market
is not trending the bands will flatten out. As the slope of the bands decreases, it
signifies that the market is choppy, insecure and variable. As the graph becomes more
and more abrupt, be it going up or down, the significance is that the market becomes
trendy, or stable. Fractal Chaos Bands Indicator is used similarly to other bands-indicator
(Bollinger bands for instance), offering trading opportunities when price moves above or
under the fractal lines.
The FCB indicator looks back in time depending on the number of time periods trader selected
to plot the indicator. The upper fractal line is made by plotting stock price highs and the
lower fractal line is made by plotting stock price lows. Essentially, the Fractal Chaos Bands
show an overall panorama of the price movement, as they filter out the insignificant fluctuations
of the stock price.

Extended Recursive Bands - Maximum Efficiency With Extra OptionsIntroducing A New Calculation For Efficient Bands Calculation !
Here it is ! The Recursive Bands Indicator, an indicator specially created to be extremely efficient, i think you already know that calculation time is extra important in algorithmic trading, and this is the principal motivation for the creation of the proposed indicator. Originally described in my paper "Pierrefeu, Alex (2019): Recursive Bands - A New Indicator For Technical Analysis" , the indicator framework has been widely used in my previous uploaded indicators, however it would have been a shame to not upload it, however user experience being a major concern for me, i decided to add extra options, which explain the term "extended".
On The Indicator Calculation
You can skip this part if it doesn't interest you. The calculation of the indicator is based on recursion, but i want to explain the mathematical formula described in the paper.
I've seen some users trying to remake it from the calculations, however there was always something weird, and i understand, mathematical notations are always a bit weird, even myself don't always write them correctly/understand them, however this one is relatively simple to understand.
First lets explain each elements of the calculation :
α = smoothing constant, or 2/(length+1)
max/min = maximum and minimum function, max return the greatest input value while min return the lowest one, for example :
max(4,2) = 4 while min(4,2) = 2
the "||" notation mean taking the absolute value, for example : |-1| = abs(-1) = 1
The calculation after the max/min function is called the correction factor, and is the core of the indicator. The last two variables are just here to provide an initial value for upper and lower, basically when we start our calculations we will assign the value of the closing price for upper and lower.
The motivation behind using a smoothing constant in range of (0,1) was to tell the reader that the indicator is easily made adaptive, this is what i did on my adaptive trailing stop indicator by using the efficiency ratio as smoothing variable, the user can use 1/length instead of the provided calculation for alpha.
If you interested on the indicator main logic, it is actually really simple, by using upper = max(price,upper) and lower = min(price,lower) we would get the maximum/minimum price value at time t , therefore upper can only be greater or equal than its precedent value, while lower can only be lower or equal than its precedent value, in order to fix that we subtract/sum upper/lower with a value, this allow the upper band to be lower than its precedent value and lower to be greater than its precedent value, this is the role of the correction factor.
The Indicator
The indicator display one upper and one lower band, every common usages applied to bands indicators such as support/resistance, breakout, trailing stop...etc, can also be applied to this one. length control how reactive the bands are, higher values of length will make the bands cross the price less often.
In order to provide more flexibility for the user i added the option to use various methods for the calculation of the indicator, therefore the indicator can use the average true range, standard deviation, average high-low range, and one totally exclusive method specially designed for this indicator.
Classic Method
This option make the indicator use its classical calculation, this is the most efficient method of all.
Atr Method (atr)
This method use the average true range as correction factor, notice that lower values of length can still produce wide band.
Standard Deviation Method (stdev)
This method use a biased estimate of the standard deviation as correction factor.
The method produce smoother bands that converge more slowly toward the price in comparison with the classic correction factor.
Average High-Low Range Method (ahlr)
This method use the average of the high-low range as correction factor, extremely similar to the average true range.
Rising Falling Volatility (rfv) Method
A new method created for this indicator, this correction factor use the absolute prices changes when price value is greater/lower than any length past values of the price, this allow to have more boxy shaped bands, work best with greater values of length.
The bands can be in contact with this method, a possible fix in the future.
Conclusion
The recursive band indicator is one of my greatest indicators in my opinion (i would love to have yours), as you can see the idea behind it is extremely simple and allow for a super efficient band indicator, which was the original motivation behind it, in order to provide more fun for the users i also added more option for the correction factor, this allow the user to be creative and not get stuck with the original calculation.
Like the trend step indicator family we have almost ended our series on the recursive band framework, 1 more trailing stop will be added in the future, and then we'll have more "boring" stuff until i find something cool again, it shouldn't be long ;)
Thanks for reading !
R100 Volatility Combo Bands v1 (*v*)The Volatility Combo Bands are made from 4 separate volatility bands- two Bollinger Bands (10 and 20 period) and two Price Headley Acceleration Bands (10 and 20 period). The Volatility Combo Bands plot the innermost upper and lower points from these bands and then plots a mid-line. By default, only the standard 20 period Bollinger Bands and Combo Bands with mid-line are displayed, but can be configured however you want.
Try it out- see squeezes earlier, ride the bands earlier in trending markets, trade pullbacks to the Combo Bands and mid-line, trade the range of the band or use them to help identify potential support and resistance levels. Hopefully they can add another dimension to identifying volatility contraction patterns or whatever you currently use these things for!
I hope you get some value out of it. Only conditions of use are that if you improve it, let me know and if you publish something that uses it, don't hide the code! Enjoy!
Code for the Price Headley Acceleration Bands pinched and modified from LazyBear - thankyou.

Bollinger Bands Fibonacci ratiosThe Fibonacci Bollinger Bands indicator is based on the same principles as the standard Bollinger Bands indicator developed by John Bollinger. The Fibonacci Bollinger Bands indicator bases its upper and lower bands on volatility just like the Bollinger Bands indicator does, but instead of using standard deviation as the measure of volatility, a Wilders Smoothed ATR is used in its place.
The middle band is a moving average used to establish the intermediate-term trend. The 3 upper bands are constructed by using the Wilders Smoothed ATR and multiplying it by each of the Fibonacci factors (1.618, 2.618, and 4.236) and then adding the results to the middle band. The 3 lower bands are constructed in the same manner as the upper bands except their results are subtracted from the middle band.
Flagging BandsIntroduction
A pun between the word flag and the adjective flagging (less dynamic) , this indicator have two bands who react faster when in contact to the price. Imagine you are under sheets, if you abruptly rise, the sheets will instantaneously go up, then if you abruptly get down, the sheets will fall slowly until being in contact with a surface, this is because of a type of friction called drag or air resistance , this force is described in fluid dynamics and i inspired myself from that for the creation of the indicator.
The indicator
The indicator is made of two bands, one upper band and one lower band, then a weighted average of each bands, this average is weighted depending on which band the price is closer. The length control the period of the indicator, in general higher lengths will create wider bands, you must consider that this parameter behave differently than other ones and may create slower results in comparison with other bands indicators while having the same length period.
The indicator can use a simple breakout methodology (see trailing stop part) but can sometime provide support and resistance points, in fact i believe that when the average variability/volatility of band A is higher than the average variability/volatility of band B and that the price cross band B then price will reverse its direction, this claim is not justified, research is needed.
Trailing Stop Mod
It is possible to make the indicator act as a trailing stop, in order to do so just tick the trailing stop mod box.
The average/bands will automatically disappear being replaced by the trailing stop.
Conclusion
I was just playing around when making the skeleton of the indicator, i hope the code is easy to understand, if you need some kind of explanation just pm me, i'm always open to help people/receive suggestions.
Best Regards
Ehlers Fractal Adaptive Moving Average with Bands [Bitcoinduke]FRAMA – What is it?
Fractal Adaptive Moving Average Technical Indicator ( FRAMA ) was developed by John Ehlers, code was implemented by TradingView user Shizaru. I've updated it to Pine Script 4 and added Bands Extension.
This indicator is constructed based on the algorithm of the Exponential Moving Average , in which the smoothing factor is calculated based on the current fractal dimension of the price series.
Advantages:
possibility to follow strong trend movements
determine moments of price consolidation ( FRAMA sufficiently slow down at these moments)
FRAMA + Bands
The FRAMA serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the FRAMA ; however it should be adjusted depending on the task.
Any MA bands (TMA bands V2)Hi everyone
Website will be opening very shortly :) Sorting out the last details and we're so excited to finally roll-out our different Algorithm Builders for you guys
Forewords
This present script is an evolution of the TMA bands . I would never have expected that script to become so popular to be honest
This is not only a study or idea but a really proven method and I'm glad that many of you are using it already. But please, whenever you see a new script out there, even if it looks cool and promising, please test it on a demo account for a week or on a LIVE account but with tiny amounts every time.
Many times, what you see on the chart is not what will happen in reality. I know that most of you will agree and I know exactly why we see this behavior... I'll give more details in a later post
I have plenty of methods like that one and I'll detail them on my website (and a bit on TradingView) starting next month
TMA bands on steroids
Someone asked me privately to make a generic version of the TMA bands and make it compatible with other standards Moving Average types. That's it for the specifications really as I didn't do much than re-using some piece of my own code
Suggested (but not mandatory) methodology
1) The Take Profit 1 is the middle line, Take Profit 2 is the opposite band.
2) Once the TP1 is hit, set your Stop Loss to breakeven
3) Once the TP2 is hit, if you still want to stay in the trade, set your Stop Loss to the TP1
It will be a powerful tool in your arsenal for some scalp/intraday trades
Wishing you all of you a great and profitable day

Relative Strength Index w/ STARC Bands and PivotsThis is an old script that I use with some useful RSI strategies from "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional" 2nd edition by Constance Brown.
The base RSI comes with the option for custom length, and has some pre-configured ranges for looking at exits and entrances. The idea is to be bullish when bounces happen in the red zone during an already bullish trend or when the indicator enters green without a rejection. Be bearish if the indicator falls through the red zone or fails to enter green during an already bearish trend.
I have added the formulas used for creating STARC bands (just think fancier volatility bands) with adjustable tolerances. The idea is to look out for when the RSI touches one of the bands and reverses. This is usually indicative of a strong reversal (though the timing will be up to the trader). Best use this on shorter time frames during a volatile time of a stock's price action.
Although a little messy, there is a small segment of the script which includes pivot points. I like to use these because they make indicating local highs/lows for finding divergences easier.
Finally, I have added a couple of customizable EMAS for the RSI itself. Useful when combined with the other features!
Moving Average Bands [CC]The Moving Average Bands were created by Vitali Apirine (Stocks and Commodities July 2021 pg 16) and this is a very handy trend following indicator that will give you the overall trend of the underlying stock. As the bands rise then the stock is in an uptrend and as they fall then it is a downtrend. If the bands stay flat then it is a sideways and/or choppy market. I did change the middle band from what he originally authored because I believe this gives more accurate buy and sell signals so keep that in mind. Feel free to use a different moving average than the original exponential moving average in the formula. As always buy when the indicator lines turn green and sell when they turn red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
Overlay Indicators (EMAs, SMAs, Ichimoku & Bollinger Bands)This is a combination of popular overlay indicators that are used for dynamic support and resistance, trade targets and trend strength.
Included are:
-> 6 Exponential Moving Averages
-> 6 Simple Moving Averages
-> Ichimoku Cloud
-> Bollinger Bands
-> There is also a weekend background marker ideal for cryptocurrency trading
Using all these indicators in conjunction with each other provide great confluence and confidence in trades and price targets.
An explanation of each indicator is listed below.
What Is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA)?
"An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average (SMA), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
What Does the Exponential Moving Average Tell You?
The 12- and 26-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) are often the most quoted and analyzed short-term averages. The 12- and 26-day are used to create indicators like the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and the percentage price oscillator (PPO). In general, the 50- and 200-day EMAs are used as indicators for long-term trends. When a stock price crosses its 200-day moving average, it is a technical signal that a reversal has occurred.
Traders who employ technical analysis find moving averages very useful and insightful when applied correctly. However, they also realize that these signals can create havoc when used improperly or misinterpreted. All the moving averages commonly used in technical analysis are, by their very nature, lagging indicators."
Source: www.investopedia.com
Popular EMA lookback periods include fibonacci numbers and round numbers such as the 100 or 200. The default values of the EMAs in this indicator are the most widely used, specifically for cryptocurrency but they also work very well with traditional.
EMAs are normally used in conjunction with Simple Moving Averages.
" What Is Simple Moving Average (SMA)?
A simple moving average (SMA) calculates the average of a selected range of prices, usually closing prices, by the number of periods in that range.
Simple Moving Average vs. Exponential Moving Average
The major difference between an exponential moving average (EMA) and a simple moving average is the sensitivity each one shows to changes in the data used in its calculation. More specifically, the EMA gives a higher weighting to recent prices, while the SMA assigns an equal weighting to all values."
Source: www.investopedia.com
In this indicator, I've included 6 popular moving averages that are commonly used. Most traders will find specific settings for their own personal trading style.
Along with the EMA and SMA, another indicator that is good for finding confluence between these two is the Ichimoku Cloud.
" What is the Ichimoku Cloud?
The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on the chart. It also uses these figures to compute a "cloud" which attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s.1 It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart.

I have changed the default settings on the Ichimoku to suit cryptocurrency trading (as cryptocurrency is usually fast and thus require slightly longer lookbacks) to 20 60 120 30.

" What Is a Bollinger Band®?
A Bollinger Band® is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security's price, but which can be adjusted to user preferences.
Bollinger Bands® were developed and copyrighted by famous technical trader John Bollinger, designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold or overbought."
This article goes into great detail of the complexities of using the Bollinger band and how to use it.
