trendOne [Alerts]BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
trendOne
(alerts)
This script combines all our previous trend-based scripts (Bows, Autopilot, Trend Indicator, Price Deviation, etc) in only one script .
To calculate the trend we use:
Volume Weight
Average True Range
Bows calculations
Trends smoothed with alma() function.
For more accuracy on the signals and to filter unwanted signals we layered slower time-frames in the background and added breaking support & resistance rules.
Inputs
Sensitivity
Integer input. Sets the sensitivity for signals generated up and down. Higher values will generate less signals on chart, and vice-versa.
Enjoy!

Trend
HalfTrendA popular trend indicator based on ATR. Similar to the SuperTrend but uses a different trend's identification logic.
I am publishing a disclosed code without license. Remember that in the future you may see a lot of paid IO scripts called BuySellScalper, Trend Trader Karan, Trend Trader and etc (by other authors) which will be based on this script. I found the same script on Ebay for $10 with a free shipping. Beware, always check and follow one Russian wisdom: "Do not pay for something you can get for free".
POW EdgeHello fellow Trading View member,
Eventually our rebranded update with some extra features for our exclusive 'Edge' Strategy Script.
In this description I will run through;
The strategy itself, what is it?
What does it do?
How does it work?
How can it help you?
How good is it?
What is it.....
The Edge Strategy itself is based upon 5 indicators lining up in total confluence to enter a position in line with a trending move. Adding them together adds more confluence and probability to each individual trade outcome over the longer term. The individual strategies used are based on Trend strategies all used in combination.
The uniqueness to this is how they are combined. Indicators can work to a point individually of course, but combining them together and only trading when all are in a line was our concept, whilst reviewing how each individual indicator can be optimised to work with the others.
Also the motivation was to be the right side of the market in a trending move and capitalising on as much as that move as possible.
The first part is to ensure the candle close is above or below our moving average, we can then check the state and validity of each of the other 4 indicators. Once this confluence is in alignment a trade is valid for entry - this has to be valid at the same time - but not all valid on the same candle - they will come into alignment in different stages. But once they are, our trade is valid.
I will not reveal the other individual 3 indicators but the other is also an ADX function to add a threshold into the strategy to identify a trend - usually above 20/25. This has upsides and downsides as any user can visualise and see in the testing.
We also add to the script to look for a Buy then Sell, Sell then Buy - we found this had more profitable results overall and next phase was to review the money management; where and how we placed our SL and when and why we exited the trade.
Example - for a BUY trade to be valid, all 5 indictors must meet their own criteria before a BUY is printed on the chart. Absolutely no technical analysis is needed to trade this strategy and the data we have is based on using the strategy in isolation - how you wish to use this either independently or supporting your own trading is of course, up to you.
The SL and TP's are based on ATR Multipliers thus ensuring we are factoring in market volatility at that time. We also have a FT (Follow Trend) option, which is a worthy addition for capitalising on big trending moves.
This strategy will work on all markets and timeframes.
We understand and accept that all pairs and markets are different thus we have optimised certain pairs and timeframes with different parameters to provide increased returns, these are hard coded (H1 Timeframe) and also provided for your review.
Profitability is easily viewable in the ‘Strategy Tester’ - this is a great tool. This is where you can see historic / live data for the strategy.
Data like;
The Net Profit
Number of trades
Win Percentage
Every trade taken
Average Win
Average Loss
Maximal DD , etc.
We have individually optimised each pair to ensure this is the case and hard coded these parameters into the strategy. All you need to do is flick between the pairs - the strategy will then identify the pair you are on and change the parameters to suit in the background.
Whilst a trade is open, the strategy will convert all candles to the relevant colour - Green for an uptrend and Red for a downtrend (all customisable).
We find this is helpful for traders psychology - not getting 'spooked' by other candle colours, affecting your decision making.
When a new signal is valid, 'POW BUY' or 'POW SELL' will be displayed on the first candle open for entry. As well as this, you will also have the trade label print which will display the following;
- EP – Entry price
- SL – Stop loss
- TP – Take Profit
- Lot size
The trade information printed will also tell you the pip values of your stop loss and take profit based on how far away they are from the trade entry price.
The lot size printed is customisable and unique to your account- within the strategy settings you can simply input your account balance, currency and risk approach which includes a fixed risk amount, fixed lot size or a fixed percentage.
This removes the need for 3rd party apps or websites to quickly calculate your specific risk on your trade. Thus saving you time and making sure you aren't 'guessing' with your lot size.
No one likes losing more than they thought.
The progress and initial challenges....
To start, our first version simply showed the buy and sell arrows when a trade was valid. However, this caused subjectivity with where we would place our stop loss and how we would manage the exit of the trade once we were in it. So, we identified a solid strategy for this was incorporating the Average True Range (ATR) for SL and TP options.
I was especially keen to add the SL and exit management so I could obtain solid back testing data to support my thoughts that 'this works'. Every trader requires confidence and belief in their strategy, without it you simply won't succeed or be disciplined in your execution.
The other challenge we all face is calculating the lot sizes of our trades right? So, it was important that we incorporated a lot size calculator - its all about making it easy when a trade is valid to enter without trying to calculate this accurately.
Lastly, when pairs are stuck in a range - this can be a testing period of 'chop' for a trend strategy, so we also incorporated the ADX function to enable us to set a threshold level to identify when the instrument is more likely to be trending.
What does it do?
Ultimately, tells you when to buy and sell - where to place your SL and when to exit. Whilst also ensuring your risk management is on point, by displaying your trading lot size. Also providing you with live back tested data at your finger tips thank you to the strategy tester.
How does it work?
This will be visible on your trading view charts once you get access. And will work across all your devices, the trading view website or the app on your phone for example.
You can also use Trading View alerts, so you won't miss a trade and can go about your day as normal without watching the screen. This will work on the Free version of TV, however, in order to benefit from more alerts and templates it makes sense to upgrade to a higher package.
How can it help you?
This will help give you a mechanical approach to your trading. This means, less decision making on your part, with the instant benefit of seeing the data you have at your fingertips thanks to the 'Strategy Tester' TV Function.
It will save you time, you don't need to be in front of your screen or completing any subjective analysis.
Integrated lot size calculator can ensure you are always accurate with your risk - either in percentage or a fixed amount of risk - whichever you prefer.
Understand Probability - this is the key one for me. Losing runs happen in any trading strategy. The great benefit here, is you can see them. How long were the losing runs? How can I prepare and plan my risk management around them are all fundamental keys to managing your emotions and being detached from your trades. No one wants to feel stressed or anxious when trading.
Customisable exit strategies - A specific TP for a 1:1 RR or 1:10 RR for example can be adjusted and you can see instantly how this affects the profitability.
The exit strategy options are shown below;
TP 1/2/3
FT - Follow Trend (no stop loss and follow's from Buys to Sells, Sell to Buy, etc.
SL + FT - SL present, but trade is held until a reverse signal is presented.
How good is it?
We have some really positive back testing data across a range of pairs and markets - equities and indices too.
Drop me a DM to see these and I'll be happy to share.
Below let me show you a screen shot of how this can work for you.

TradiKator 01 MATradiKator 01 MA is the a visual indicator that plots market capitalized cost following moving average (SMA and EMA) , based on LEI & LoneCapital defined metrology method and includes the TradiKator creative idea to help visualize the Price action in relation to the market capitalized cost.
Q&A
Q1.Why Moving Average ?
As LEI & LoneCapital explained moving average is indicating market capitalized cost moving.
If you are a trend following trader, you should participate in upside while sidestepping downside.
You need a indicator that help you to make money while prices are rising, then exit when they are falling.
A classical approach is the moving average strategy.
Nevertheless as efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) states that asset prices will reflect all available information.
The smart trader should focus on price moving i.s.o. reading all available information which is not practical.
Q2.What is Moving Average ?
As the name implies, the moving average is an average of a price's movement over time.
The simple moving average (SMA) is a just simple average over time.
The exponential moving average (EMA) on the other hand gives greater weight to more recent price action.
Q2.What are the Period Moving Average based on ?
The default Moving Average Period setting are based on LEI & LoneCapital defined Short term 20 (days in month), Mid term 60 (days in quarter), Long term 120 (days in half year).
We use 3 colors to represent these 3 periods. Black as Short term , Red as Mid term , Blue as Long term
You will see same color scheme in our indicators.
Of cause you can change the default setting to switch to your favorite Moving Average Period. How to do it is listed in setting.
Function and Setting
1.MA period setting
"Adjust All MA Period" --> Users can increase or decrease all 3 period in the same time. For example, input "-1" , you will have 3 periods as "19","59","119"
"Fix the M_MA=3*S_MA,L_MA = 6*S_MA (overwrite below 2 settings)" --> It will fix the Mid period as 3 times of short, Long period as 6 times of short. Meanwhile the separated setting for Mid and long will be ignored.
"3 period separated settings" --> Please disable the "fix ..." setting for individual 3 periods
"Source" --> Allow user switch used source from "close" to any other data source like"hl2","hlc3" and etc.
2.Deduction price Setting
"Show deduction price label (Pls disable the angle)" --> Will show 3 deduction price. Please disable the "Show Angle ..." before enable this switch.
"Arrow on Slope (Deduction vs Today Which is higher)" --> Will show 3 arrows aim to the higher price between Deduction and Today.
Also the dashed slope line will change to solid line. It helps when Deduction is very close to Today
3.Angle for slope line ---> Killer feature
"Show Angle ..." --> As LEI & LoneCapital explained current trend can be described as "o'clock direction wise" .
By measuring current trend's "angle" we can has a fuzzy image about current trend.
Note: In fact there is real 12 o'clock or 90 degree, therefore we define our "90 degree" and all called value of "angle" is based on our defined metric.
Also everyone has different opinion about the start point of current trend.
We choose the 3 MA periods as the start point to measure the angles.
There are 3 mod prepared for the angle measure metrology.
Abs % --> "90 deg" = increase 100% in 20 days. It is the most robust mod.
1Y rel % --> "90 deg" = increase 50% of 1Y Absolute price range in 20 days. It can't be used in case of minus price.(like CL future in 2020 Mar)
1Y rel log --> "90 deg" = increase 50% of 1Y log scaled price range in 20 days. Also it can't be used in case of minus price.
4.Deduction price trail and Background color
"Show Deduction price trail" --> Enable it to show the 3 Deduction prices' trail.
"Show trail in the coming days" --> Enable : the prices' trail is showed in the coming days. Disable : the prices' trail is showed on the MA period historical days.
"MA long term Trend Background Color" --> Similar to the "fill EMA with color", fill the Background with color which represent the EMA trend.
5.High volume and Show gap
"High volume label" --> Highlight the high volume with label.
We define the volume which is higher than percentile value of 3 MA historical volume statistical metrics.
So the black label means this volume is higher than 97 percentile value of 20 days' volume. Red 60 days and Blue 120 days.
The percentile can be set by user. Also the MA period can be adjusted by user.
"Show gap" --> Highlight the gap between close and next day open.
Note: We don't measure whether the gap is closed or not.
6.Forecast SMA ---> Killer feature
As you noticed the dashed line after today, it is our killer feature: forecast SMA.
Green Dashed line: The close price according to the assumption user input.
3 colors' Dashed lines: The SMA based on the Green Dashed line's close price.
"Days to plot forecast SMA (Max=14, SwitchOff=0)" --> Please decide how many days' SMA user would like to forecast.
"Mod1 Assumed chg ratio ‰ in the every days (10=1%)" --> Mod1: User should give the change rate in the coming every days. For example, user's assumption is that price will increase 10% everyday.
"Mod2 Assumed chg % in the ?th day (1=1%)(Pls set Mod1 to 0)" --> Mod2: User should give the change rate in the future ?th days. For example, user's assumption is that price will increase 30% in the 3rd day.
"Mod2 Need ? day to reach the chg % (tomorrow = 1 day)" --> Mod2: User should give the future ?th days.
note: While using Mod2, user has to disable Mod1 by set Mod1 to 0 (default setting)

TB_Harmonic_Pro_TrendThis indicator is NOT meant to be used as a standalone trading system.
It has been designed to produce signals for potential up or down moves in the market subject to certain critreria being met.
The indicator measures several independent concepts that line up and when congruent produces a signal.
The concepts used are based on the Awesome Oscillator, the Directional Movement Index, Stochastic and the McGinley moving average.
An UP signal is produced when trend has potentially changed to up.
The McGinley MA provides the inital trigger which is followed by supporting oscillators which must move to the upside also indicating a possible change in trend. When the oscillators and MA conditions are met and are 'Congruent' an UP signal is produced to dispaly a potential change in trend for the interim period.
A secondary UP signal is also produced after the initial UP signal. This is as a result of a trend being detected (after the first entry) and the cross of secondary MA with different inputs. This usually occurs after a retarcement and potential continuation of trend. All components must line up to support the idea that trend has changed for the interim.
The combination of several positive trend indicators and confirmation of price assists in the trend change confirmation.
An alert system has been added for convenience.
The opposite occurs for a Down Signal.
The indicator is often useful after a significant swing HIGH/LOW when price is potentially changing direction. The overall concept is to be able to set alerts for such potetnial entries after you have completed your own market analysis. A particularly good reference point is after the 'D' point has formed on a Harmonic Scan (your Own anaysis) and awaiting an entry zone for a change in trend and as price moves away.
This can also be used with significan support and resistence levels and pull-backs in trend direction. Pitchforks applied to Harmonic scans provide numerous potential entry points for this type of indicator which often constitutes a good scalping strategy. Heiken ashi candles can also be used for additonal trend confirmation 'BUT' entry decisions 'SHOULD NOT' be made based on those candles
It works across all time frames.
If you would like to enquire about access to this invite only script please send me a private message on trading view and I will be happy to assist. Thank you.
EMA CrossoversUseful for identifying and receiving alerts about uptrends and downtrends.
This script uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to find price uptrends and downtrends. An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The script produces uptrend and downtrend signals based on crossovers and divergences between the two EMAs, the user will be able to spot a trend change (when the EMAs crossover) and to determine the strength of the current trend (when the EMAs diverge). It is also posible to get alerts for uptrends and downtrends on the web and mobile app with sound and pop-ups as well as via email. The optimal time to enter and exit the market can be concluded from this trend changes.
The user can set their own EMAs, by default they are set to 21 and 55 periods for medium and long term respectively. When the medium term EMA crosses below the long term EMA the asset is in a downtrend and the price will decline, and when the medium term EMA crosses above the long term EMA the asset is in an uptrend and price will increase.
This scripts plots the following indicators and signals on the chart to help the user to identify trends:
1.- Medium and long term EMAs as lines overlaid on the price chart.
2.- Up green triangles above bars when the price is on an uptrend and down red triangles below bars when the price is on a downtrend.
3.- Arrows with text to indicate the start of an uptrend or downtrend.
The user can enable and disable the indicators and signals as well as set colors and shapes to their liking.
This script also lets the user create alerts for uptrends and downtrends. To create a new alert using this script follow this instructions:
1.- Once you added this script to your chart, go to the alerts panel (right on web or bottom tool bar on the mobile app) and add a new alert (alarm clock icon with a plus sign).
2.- A modal window will open. On the “Condition” dropdown menu select “EMA Crossovers”.
3.- On the next dropdown menu (right below the “Condition” one) you can select from two types of alerts “Uptrend started” and “Downtrend started”.
4.- Lastly you can set all the normal alert options and create the alert.
SmoothOps v1 - StudyThe purpose of this script was to fine tune an indicator on BTCUSDT . I think the results speak for themselves in the study version.
This is a script that uses the MACD to predict future price movement. The original MACD signal lags too much for my taste so I went searching for something that could give signals sooner. I decided a smooth macd would help filter out noise and grabbing the highest values and lowest values over the past number of bars. I spent several days backtesting different settings and combinations of signals to arrive at what you see now. This strategy has been fine tuned for BTC /USDT on Binance, so I suggest you only use it for that. Any other coin/pair and exchange will need a new backtest since the data will be different. This is not a generalized indicator like everything else. It's specifically good at one thing: prediction BTCUSDT on Binance.
I wanted to also add the histogram from the study version but there wasn't a good way to do that, so I came up with a visual solution using color transitions on the 168sma. When the color changes from blue to red it means the histogram is reversing.
I added forecasting to the moving averages to help people predict future movement so they can make decisions by something other than just a sign of when to buy/sell.
There is a transition prediction feature that blurs the macd signal to show when a reversal may occur before it happens.
I also added precitions into the indicator that show when there may be a possible bounce or major move because of a current squeeze in the moving averages.
And finally...
My biggest issue with indicators that other people sell is that they become visually deceptive when using supports and buy/sell signs. I came up with a solution that shows you exactly if you made profits during the trade or not. Hopefully this will inspire others to do something similar.
How to use:
Use only on BTCUSDT Binance.
Set the preset to the timeframe you want. I HIGHLY suggest only using the 1h timeframe. It gives the best profit over time.
Set the preset to custom if you want to try using your own settings.
You can change the source input if you want. ohlc4 usually works best for 1h.
Adjust the moving averages to your liking. You can also toggle the checkbox to completely remove them.
Turn on/off the forecasting of the moving averages.
Turn on/off the additional signals with the checkbox.
Transition prediction uses a blur variable to signal when the macd might be slowing down and reversing.
Bounce prediction and sensitivity tries to find possible reversal areas when price falls too fast or hits a specific moving average.
Macro signals just tries to show when price is above the 168moving average to get the macro trend.
Squeeze prediction indicates when a possible strong move may occur. Could go up or down though.
Show profit is my favorite part because it shows if you made profit during the last trade visually and non deceptively.
MoneyMoves Strategy V1 The MoneyMoves Strategy V1 is one piece of the it is Hekin Ashi turned into a smooth Moving average for better visual of price trend.
By taking the average of the open, close, high and low of price this indicator will help with seeing short and long term price trend on any timeframe of your liking.
With added buy and sell alarms you can set so you don't miss a trade, also make for a good exit alarm if already in a trade.
In the settings you can change the type of moving average you want to use between sma, ema, wma, hma, vwma, and rma at different sources for your liking. (open/close/high/low)
You can also change the Length of the MA to better fit your liking both open and close prices to make it more precise
When you get A Buy Signal and the Moving Average IS Green= Buy
When you get A Sell Signal and the Moving Average IS Red =Sell
You can also change the colors of the Moving average in the settings tab

RSIPRO TrendIndicatorThis RSIPRO indicator is based on RSI , BB and EMA and it has LONG/SHORT alerts for signals
In script settings you can specify:
1) Dispertion value, 0.15 by default. Dispertion around bolinger bands with RSI as source signal.
2) Use smoothing option and smooth factor value (3 by default). It smoothes RSI with moving average filter.
3) Enable/Disable filter to show signals only after RSI overbought/oversell zones
Disabled by defaults and RSI is 65 for upper zone and 35 for lower zone.
You can also specify how many bars back before current bar this filter must do. It's 10 by default, you can vary it up to 90.
Best fits for 4H timeframe. Also good for 15min scalping strategy. Fits for any crypto coins, forex, metals, oil and bonds.
This is invite only script. PM me if you want to test it.

[Jett.][GoldenRush] Market DirectionThis script was created to analyze levels of market trends.
This is an indicator that is used to analyze the overall 2 levels.
1.Considering the index's key trends (Strategic Level)
2.Trend Analysis (Tactical Level)
To get a big overview of the trend and catch short-term movements. In this indicator, there are 4 levels of momentum measurements.
with the default setting
Major trends (Strategic Level)
1.We have the highest and lowest prices in the 52-week or 1-year scale.
2.We use the average of the highest and lowest prices(basis of 52-week). can be filtering the overview of the trend
3.As for the trend in 24-week or 6-month. Used to find the direction of the price And helps confirm that a trend is starting to take a certain direction.
Sub-level trend (Tactical Level)
1.Price in the level 12-week or 3-month. We use it to calculate the direction of movement in the short term, it is possible that the market will be bullish or bearish in 3-month.
2.And the 12-week or 3-month price is a confirmation of how strongly the short-term price moves in any direction.
3.If there will be a correction of the price base 12 weeks or 3-month price swings always happen first.
4.The 1-month price is the same as the trigger, if the market has a breakout in any way it could mean the start of a short sway.
By this indicator Besides being used to measure direction or trend, it can also be used as a significant filter for both support and resistance for short, medium, long term.
Jet.T.S. Trader
TKC [Intromoto]This is a series of three Keltner channels, which are essentially sets of EMAs with a multiplier to spread them for dynamic support and resistance structures.
Keltner can be used similarly to Bollinger Bands, but price can remain outside of the EMA range for extended periods of time.
Users can change the collective resolution, individual length, individual multiplier, and calculation style of each of the sets.
By default, the Keltner channels all have length of 500 and multipliers of 4, 7, and 10. Fills are available between each upper and lower EMA of the channel.
I use this for trend analysis and when price is prone to reversals.
DM for access.
Thanks
Trading with GridThis indicator helps you to negotiate through the grid. You must depend on a flag to start trading. In the indicator we use a weekly moving average with 20 periods.
Use volatility for larger timeframes.
Note that the gray spaces are minimum and maximum, weekly and monthly. If the price goes out of that range, it usually has greater volatility.
The grid has 28 lines.
Purchase order preference.
Once you lose the moving average:
- buy level below
- sale level up.
MrBS:Directional Movement Index [Trend Friend Strategy]This goes with my MrBS:DMI+ indicator. I originally combined them into one, but then you cannot set alerts based on what the ADX and DMI is doing, only strategy alerts, so separate ones have more flexibility and uses.
Indicator Version is found under "MrBS:Directional Movement Index " ()
//// THE IDEA
The majority of profits made in the market come from trending markets. Of course there are strategies that would say otherwise but for the majority of people, THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND (until the end). The idea is to follow the trend, entering once it has established its self and exiting positions when the trend weakens. This strategy gives a rough idea of the returns produced from following purely the ADX signals. At first Heikin Ashi values were used for the calculation but the results show it's not that effective. The functionality to switch between calculation types has been left in, so we can uses HA candle data to generate signals from while looking at an OHLC chart, if we want to experiment. Due to the way strategies work, we are unable to get reliable results when running the strategy on the HA chart even if we are calculating the signals from the real OHLC values. It is best to always run strategies on standard charts.
When using this strategy, I look for confirmation of the signal based on stochastic (14:3:6) direction, reversal level of stochastic, and divergance, to add confidence and adjust position size accordingly. I am going to try and code some version of that in future updates, if anyone can help or has suggestions please drop me a message.
//// INDICATOR DETAILS
- The default settings are for optimized Daily charts, for 4 hour I would suggest a smoothing of 2.
- The default values used for calculation are the Real OHLC, we can change this to Heikin Ashi in the menu.
- The strategy enters a position when ADX crosses the threshold level, and closes the position when ADX starts to fall.
- There is a signal filter in the form of a 377 period Hull Moving Average, which the price must be above or bellow for long and short positions respectively.
- The strategy closes the position when a cross-under of the ADX and its 4 period EMA. This is an attempt to stay into positions longer as sometimes the ADX will fall for 1 bar and then keep rising, while the overall trend is strong. The downside to this is that we exit trades later and this affects our max drawdown.
Moving Average Compilation by CryptonerdsThis script contains all commonly used types of moving averages in a single script. To our surprise, it turned out that there was no script available yet that contains multiple types of moving averages.

Neapolitan BandsThe Neapolitan Bands were derived from Jean Marc Guillot's 2001 IFTA trading strategy. In his study published by the International Federation of Technical Analysis titled, "Using Indicators from the Derivatives Markets to Forecast FX Moves" Guillot utilizes multiple bollinger bands of various deviations to determine trends and reversals, entries and exits. I isolated this particular part of his overall trading strategy because it has been a useful trend following indicator for me.
Some basics:
Neapolitan Bands can help identify points that a trend starts and ends, as well as reversals when price is ranging.
These bands are typically paired with another indicator like Guillot did to help separate/time trend or reversal signals. (He used MACD, Slow Stochastic, and RSI)
Parts of this indicator:
The period is by default 55 to identify "intermediate" trends. Not short or long term ones.
The blue area shows the 1st standard deviation. This is the "normal range" where price "likes" to be.
The green area shows the 2nd standard deviation and identifies/defines trends. Closes in this area are used for entering trends long or short.
The red area shows the 3rd standard deviation that shows either a spot to take profit/enter a reversal trade, or a point where the market is free falling.
Trend trading rules:
Entry and exit signals for trends are based on price closing above and below the 1st standard deviation, or blue area. If you expect a bullish trend, you buy once price enters the upper green area.
Guillot recommends setting a stop loss to the MA period of the Neapolitan Bands. So if it's 55 periods, you set the stop loss at the 55 SMA.
Reversal trading rules:
For reversals Guillot says, "In a trading range, bands act as supports and resistances. In extreme conditions reversals can occur within or past the 2nd standard deviation." For us, this means that technically anywhere in the green or red areas, a reversal can occur when the price is ranging. Typically this happens at the edges of the bands.
The "edge to edge" trade:
This is a strategy I took from Ichimoku Clouds and applied to the Neapolitan Bands. An "edge to edge" trade is when price closes back into the blue area from one edge, and price travels all the way to the other edge of the blue area. This can apply going from the edge of one green area to the other edge.
Note that this is one piece of Guillot's trading system, and not the whole thing. On top of that I have modified the original parameters to suit the function of trend following, and added an extra bollinger band. Using a shorter period like 20 is more optimal for shorter expected trends or reversals, and it's what Guillot used himself.
Thanks to Sean Nance for reminding me the indicator looks like ice cream! ( coming up with the name :P )
