2 Multi-Timeframe Bollinger BandsThis is two separate Bollinger bands in one study. Customizable middle BB line type ( SMA , EMA , VWMA ), legnth, colors, and deviations provided at .5 increments.
Someone else has a very similar Bollinger Band study but the code was hidden, so I figured I would remake as a learning challenge since I'm new to pinescript and this is the best way to learn it imo.
There will be updates to this script in the future but for now it serves its purpose lol. Publishing this version early as I wanted to give some friends access to it
In terms of usage, I like 4h 50 SMA alot . Having two sets of Bollinger bands is nice so you can turn one off or swap between time frames and such. In terms of techniques using both bbands, I haven't really played with it too much yet but simple things like 1h 50sma bbands expanding past the 4h 50sma bbands probably indicate an exaggerated move in that specific time frame, etc etc.
Hope this helps!

Bollinger Bands Bar ColoringThis is a simple script that colors bars/candles based on where price is relative to the basis, and the upper and lower bands of the Bollinger Bands.
If price is above the basis, candles will be colored green, and if price is below the basis, candles will be colored red.
If price is outside of the bands on either side, the candles will be colored a darker shade of either color depending on if it is above or below.
I created this indicator because I like that at a glance I can have an idea of the bullishness or bearishness of price action based on the Bollinger Bands, without actually having the Bands overlayed on my charts.
It's also quite nice because I find that the areas where there is a shift in candle color (especially from green to red and vice versa) aid in identifying levels of support and resistance, and shifts in market structure.
I have another indicator that is a huge modification of the Bollinger Bands %B, which includes the candle coloring (and MAs), but this frees up space on my chart while still providing me with the primary information I'm looking for.
VWMACDV2 w/Intraday Intensity Index Histogram & VBCB Hello traders! In this script i tried to combine Kıvanç Özbilgiç's Volume Based Coloured Bars, Volume Weighted Macd V2 and Intraday Intensity Index developed by Dave Bostian and added to Tradingview by Kıvanç Özbilgiç. Let's see what we got here;
VBCB, Paints candlestick bars according to the volume of that bar. Period is 30 by default. If you're trading stocks, 21 should be better.
Volume Weighted Macd V2, "Here in this version; Exponential Moving Averages used and Weighted by Volume instead of using only vwma (Volume Weighted Moving Averages)." Says, Kıvanç Özbilgiç.
III, "A technical indicator that approximates the volume of trading for a specified security in a given day. It is designed to help track the activity of institutional block traders and is calculated by subtracting the day's high and low from double the closing price, divided by the volume and multiplied by the difference between the high and the low."
*Histogram of vwmacd changes color according to the value of III. (Green if positive, yellow if negative value)*
VWMACD also comes with the values of 21,13,3... Which are fibonacci numbers and that's how i use it. You can always go back to the good old 26,12,9.
Other options according to the fibonacci numbers might be= 21,13,5-13,8,3-13,8,5... (For shorter terms of trading)
Trading combined with the bollinger bands is strongly advised for both VWMACD and III. VBCB is just the candy on top :)
Enjoy!

[KL] Bollinger bands + RSI StrategyThis strategy is based on two of my previous scripts, one called “RSI14 + 10”; the other one called “Bollinger Bands Consolidation”. At its core, it combines the main setups from each of those two scripts but excludes the auxiliary features that were considered as experimental. This strategy will identify periods of squeeze, and then enter long during consolidation with a trailing stop loss set.
Primary indicator will be the Bollinger Bands. By comparing the width of the BBs with the ATR of the same lookback period (i.e. 2 standard deviations of the 20 recent closing prices vs ATR(20) x2), we begin to look for confirmation for entry whenever the standard deviation of prices is less than the ATR. This can be seen visually in the plots (i.e. default gray lines representing ATRx2 relative to BB center line).
Confirmation for entry will be the RSIs (slow-14, and fast-10). If both are upward sloping, then we assume prices are in an uptrend and may eventually break above upper band. RSIs are typically in mid-range when prices are consolidating, therefore no need to measure it.
Exits will happen in two cases, (1) when trailing stop loss hits, or (2) when RSIs signal that the instrument is overbought. No. 1 is self-explanatory. No. 2 happens, when RSI14 reaches above 70 (can be changed), followed by RSI10 catching up and surpassing RSI14.
Squeeze Momentum [Plus]The "Momentum" in this indicator is smoothed out using linear regression. The Momentum is what is displayed on the indicator as a histogram, its purpose is obvious (to show momentum).
What is a Squeeze? A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands tighten up enough to slip inside of Keltner Channels .
This is interpreted as price is compressing and building up energy before releasing it and making a big move.
Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC.
In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages.
The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three.
The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings.
The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator.
And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression.
Now to explain the parameters:
Squeeze Input - This is just the source for the Squeeze to use, default value is closing price.
Length - This is the length of time used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels .
Bollinger Bands Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Bollinger Bands .
Keltner Channel Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Keltner Channel.
Color Format - you to choose one of 5 different color schemes.
Draw Divergence - Self explanatory here, this will auto-draw divergence on the indicator.
Gray Background for Dark Mode - to make them more visually appealing.
Added ADX (Average Directional Index) that measure a trend’s strength. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The ADX line is white when it has a positive slope, otherwise it is gray. When the ADX has a very large dispersion with respect to the momentum histogram, increase the scale number.
Added "H (Hull Moving Average) Signal". Hull is a extremely responsive and smooth moving average created by Alan Hull in 2005. Have option to chose between 3 Hull variations.
Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets.
The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility, and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up.

Projected Bollinger Bands - Quadratic RegressionBased on the work of Alex Groove : https://www tradingview com/script/YnoXd2AY-forecasting-quadratic-regression/
and also based on https://www tradingview com/script/YnoXd2AY-forecasting-quadratic-regression/ by capissimo
Notes:
1. This Bollinger Bands uses the QREG as its middle line (not MA as the original Bollinger Bands) so this should be acknowledged.
2. This indicator forecasts 3 candles (periods) ahead.
3. The label's position is quite messy, so you need to adjust the chart zoom in order to make the indicator doesn't overlap anything.
4. You need to manually set the time frame in the indicator settings because i'm not able to make the indicator recognizes it automatically
I'm trying to make the Bollinger Bands Forecasting from Quadratic Regression, and i'm really sure that there are a lot of mistakes here and there, so i 'm hoping corrections coming from you guys...
CHEERS!!!
Bollinger Band Calculation ToolIntroducing the Bollinger Band Calculation Tool
What are Bollinger Bands ?
According to Investopedia ....
"In the 1980s, John Bollinger, a long-time technician of the markets, developed the technique of using a moving average with two trading bands above and below it.
Unlike a percentage calculation from a normal moving average, Bollinger Bands® simply add and subtract a standard deviation calculation.
Standard deviation is a mathematical formula that measures volatility, showing how the stock price can vary from its true value.
By measuring price volatility, Bollinger Bands® adjust themselves to market conditions.
This is what makes them so handy for traders; they can find almost all of the price data needed between the two bands."
Classic interpretations of Bollinger bands from Fidelity Investments....
"When the bands tighten during a period of low volatility, it raises the likelihood of a sharp price move in either direction.
This may begin a trending move. Watch out for a false move in opposite direction which reverses before the proper trend begins.
When the bands separate by an unusual large amount, volatility increases and any existing trend may be ending.
Prices have a tendency to bounce within the bands' envelope, touching one band then moving to the other band.
You can use these swings to help identify potential profit targets.
For example, if a price bounces off the lower band and then crosses above the moving average, the upper band then becomes the profit target.
Price can exceed or hug a band envelope for prolonged periods during strong trends.
On divergence with a momentum oscillator, you may want to do additional research to determine if taking additional profits is appropriate for you.
A strong trend continuation can be expected when the price moves out of the bands.
However, if prices move immediately back inside the band, then the suggested strength is negated."
This indicator contains a standard set of Bollinger Bands with the addition of a Test Closing Price calculation function.
It displays a standard set of Bollinger Bands by default.
How do I use the Test Closing Price function ?
Enter a test price in the Test Closing Price box in the settings, and then click the "Use Test Price" button.
The indicator will then replace the current Bollinger upper, lower and basis-lines with plots showing the resultant lines if price were to close at the Test Closing Price.
An information panel will appear which displays the test closing price and the resulting Bollinger-upper, Bollinger-lower and basis-line prices.
Can display up to 10 decimal places and has adjustable label offset.
It will also plot lines outlining the resultant closed candle body for clarity.
To return to "Standard Bollingers" just click off the "Use Test Price" button.
Knowing exactly what the Bollinger bands and Basis will do if a particular closing price is met can be useful in a variety of ways to traders who use Bollinger Bands® in their trading.
It is possible to work out exactly what closing price is required to get above or below a Bollinger band which is normally difficult as Bollingers react to the change in price.
Users can also experiment with different Test Closing Prices [/i to see exactly what effect this would have on the Basis moving average and on the Bollinger bands themselves.
Bollinger Blast Buy Unholy GrailThis strategy copy the Nick Radge's trading ideas for a profitable systems. He mentions a Bollinger Band idea which is also published in his book Unholy Grails. Nick says:
he strategy that we did test and showed very promising results was an entry using a Bollinger band and an exit using the opposite Bollinger band, but we use 3 standard deviations for the entry and 1 standard deviation for the exit, just to keep the trailing stop a little bit tighter.”
Entry: Buy on the Open the day after a stock closes above the top Bollinger Band
Exit: Exit on the Open the day after a stock closes below the lower Bollinger Band
Results tested on Nasdaq market are very good and better than simply buy& hold
Angle of Bollinger Bands AlertThis script is used to calculate angle of Bollinger Bands and also setup alerts.
The angle is based on the rules:
- if the previous 2 is 1.1, previous 1 is 1, and the current is 1.1, then the angle should be 90 degrees.
- if the previous 2 is 0.9, previous 1 is 1, and the current is 0.9, then the angle should be 270 degrees
If upper angle is below 90 degrees and close is above the average, it is long signal.
If lower angle is above 270 degrees and close is below the average, it is short signal.
- It is good for catch trend trading.
- Not good for swing trading as the BB changes are very tiny but angles for upper may hit below 90 degrees or angle of lower may be above 270 degrees.
Bollinger on Bollinger OscillatorThis study is a user-friendly workaround to the BBOE+ (attached at the bottom).
I applied Bollinger Bands on BB Oscillator which spend his time bouncing between +100 -100 levels both representing extremes market conditions. You can use it to spot reliable entries/exits opportunities.
During an uptrend when the oscillator tends to -100 and the lower BB turn up you should consider a BUY. Do the same thing when the oscillator pushes under the lower BB nearby the Zero Line.
Make the opposite during a downtrend.
Also look for divergencies that occurs nearby the borders and BB squeezes too.
You can vary both the lenght for the Oscillator and BB.
Use “Upper Multiplier” and “Lower Multiplier” to set two different StDev from the basis (if you need).
You may also consider to apply an offset to the BB.
Is up to you to match the configuration that better-fits your market and time frame.
Default settings could well fits this IXIC 4H Chart.
So that this is basically a price-based indicator you would better consider to pair it with a volume-based or an absolute-momentum-based one.

Baus BandsThe Baus Bands are a simplified version of another one of my trend following indicators, the Neapolitan Bands. This version only shows the trend trading zones in green and red. An additional 21 EMA with an ATR band was added as part of my own trend trading rules using these bands.
How do I read this indicator?
Is the blue band between and not touching the green or red clouds? The condition is ranging.
Is the blue band touching the green cloud? The condition is a bullish trend.
Is the blue band touching the red cloud? The condition is a bearish trend.
The trend trading rules are exactly the same as the default Neapolitans, but include an extra condition.
A trend has started once 2 conditions are met:
Price has entered either trending cloud.
The 21 EMA ATR band in blue is within the same cloud.
With those conditions met, if you expect the trend to continue, trade pull-backs to the blue band in the direction of the trending cloud.
Isn't this just a 21 EMA trading pull-backs strategy?
No. The 21 EMA alone is not sufficient in my opinion to define a range or trend technically. Always buying the 21 EMA pull-back, especially in a range, is not a great strategy by itself unless you've already identified price as trending. Baus Bands adds that trend identification.
Why make this?
Baus Bands show the conditions I personally use for catching trends and identifying ranges with these indicators, and shows only the information I use.
What's the purpose of the ATR band around the 21 EMA?
Sometimes price will open and close below the 21 EMA and cause some technical analysts will say the trend is over. I added the ATR specifically to get a volatility based, upper and lower bound range around the 21 EMA. that way I have an acceptable price range where price could move past the 21 EMA and still keep a trend valid using similar rules. I then saw that so long this ATR band (not the 21 EMA itself) was touching those trending clouds, then the trend has a good chance of continuing as long as that was true.

Roc & Atr Orders
My indicator, where I compare the 20 bar change percentage with the 14 bar atr band, I hope it will be useful to everyone. the green zones can be interpreted as BUY and the red zone as SELL zone. In graphs with high motion and low atr, the channel narrowing can be interpreted as BUY and the channel opening as SELL.
No indicator shows you the right way ... The best way is your own thoughts
Reversal with Bollinger Bands + RSI + ADX + ATR (Upgraded)Hi,
Welcome to my 4th script.
Someone asked me some questions about the Bollinger Band strategy I previously published. When I went back to my published script I couldn't help myself but simply try and make it better. Which I did.
Since I've published that script, I've gained much more knowledge about how Pinescript functions. As well as gaining more and more knowledge about how the markets are structered etc.
In this reversal script we use 4 indicators to determine good entry signals, we determine whether the market is ranging or trending and we still only want to take trades in the direction of the "trend".
Bollinger Bands are used for our entry signal. When price hits either side of the band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we enter a position.
RSI is used to determine if we're in a trending market or in a ranging market. You can adjust the values in the inputs. You can determine the minimum RSI value and the maximum RSI value.
ADX is used the same way as RSI, you can adjust the value in the inputs. You can determine the minimum ADX value.
Last but not least we use two EMA's, a 200 EMA and 100 EMA. Both are adjustable through the inputs. I used two EMA's because I noticed when using this strategy that we'd enter a new position often after having a bad trade. Using two EMA's might clean up some signals, in my case with EUR/USD on a 15m timeframe, it didn't clean up enough signals.
All the default values are pretty decent but might require some finetuning on a certain instrument. Don't overfit the strategy though, that'll only give you bad signals in the future.
Then we are off to our exit signals.
Initially I wanted to incorporate my previous Bollinger Band exit signals as well, but it was too much of a hassle to make the script work as intended so I left it out. If you want to use those exit signals, just find my other script.
When we're in a position and price crosses the opposite band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we exit the position.
Additionally we want our losses to be as small as possible, so we use RSI to signal us when the market is, or starts to, trend against us. This is where you use the minimum and maximum exit values. So when RSI crosses over or under that value, it'll exit the position.
Furthermore, we use the ATR indicator to set our stop loss, which is pretty basic stuff. You can adjust the ATR multiplier in the inputs. Disabling "Use Trailing Stop?" is really inadvisable unless you know this script inside out as your only exit signals will be opposite Bollinger Band Cross and RSI overbought / oversold areas.

[KL] Bollinger Bands Consolidation StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position based on the volatility of prices implied by indicators of (a) Bollinger bands, and (b) ATR.
Application of Bollinger bands ("BOLL")
Using plain vanilla settings for BOLL (i.e. 20 period moving average, and 2 standard deviations of closing prices), we are interested to know about the shape of the area that is bounded by the upper and lower bands.
In theory, consolidation happens when volatility of price decreases. Visually speaking, this is represented by the narrowing of the upper/lower bands. This strategy considers the narrowing of BOLL bands as the primary indicator for long-entry.
Application of ATRs (as confirmations)
Firstly, to confirm that BOLL bands are narrowing (as mentioned above), the ATR at a potential point of entry is compared against the standard deviation of prices over BOLL's lookback periods. Once again, visualizing the shape of BOLL bands during consolidation, we assume the lines begin to squeeze when the distance between the center line and upper/lower band is less than two current ATRs.
Secondly, this strategy looks into the moving average of ATRs to assure that prices are not too choppy when entering into market. If the moving average of ATR decreases at a point in time such that all the above conditions are met, then we can assert that the volatility of price is decreasing.
Thirdly, ATR is used for determining the size of our trailing stop loss. We will keep the multiplier fixed at two.
VWAP-Bollinger BandsThis script uses Bollinger bands but with a VWAP as the source, it uses the high crossing the upper band as a buy signal and a low crossing the lower band as a sell signal
Its default settings are for a day chart - Crypto 30 periods, forex 24 periods and stocks 20 periods, which basically line up with a month per asset class
ive seen good results in crypto and stocks, settings used between1% and 10% equity per trade with a 0.1% fee which lines up with Binance fee structure and $25 per trade which lines up with Commsec on the ASX
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. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals."
More info can be seen here: www.investopedia.com
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.
Along with the Ichimoku, I like to use Bollinger Bands to not only find confluence for support and resistance but for price discovery targets and trend strength.
" 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.
=======
This indicator combines all these powerful indicators into one so that it is easier to input different settings, turn specific tools on or off and can be easily customised.
SMA&BOLL脚本用来将sma和布林带统一呈现, 方便及时捕捉价格的走势与波动区间. 只要简单地修改SMA的两条线, 布林带的中间线同时作为SMA的第三条长周期参考线也作为布林带的基础计算曲线, 一线双用节省资源.
The script is used to present the sma and Bollinger bands in a unified manner, which is convenient to capture the price trend and fluctuation range in time. Just simply modify the two lines of the SMA, and the middle line of the Bollinger bands serves as the third long-period reference line of the SMA and also serves as the Bollinger bands The basic calculation curve, one-line dual-use saves resources.
Bollinger Bands strategy with RSI and MACD v1.0 This is a strategy based on the Bollinger Bands, where buy trades are made when the price crosses the lower line of the Bollinger Bands upwards, and sell trades are made when the price crosses the upper line downwards.
In addition, it is possible through the inputs to enable trading with RSI and MACD, so that buy or sell trades are supported by these two indicators.
Trades are partially and fully closed in the following way, a buy trade will close half of the position when the price touches the middle line of the Bollinger bands and will be fully closed when the price touches the upper band. In the case of a sell position, half of the position will be closed if the price touches the middle band and the entire position will be closed when the price touches the lower band. Alternatively, a fixed take profit can be placed. In case the price moves against us, trailing stops can be placed.
In case of selecting to use RSI, MACD, or MACD variation, trades will be executed as long as The Bollinger Bands, and all the above-mentioned indicators give the same signals, either buy or sell.
For example in the case of selecting only Use RSI, buy trades would be made as long as RSI and BB give buy signals.

Bollinger DCA v1Simple "benchmark" strategy for ETFs, Stocks and Crypto! Super-easy to implement for beginners, a BTD (buy-the-dip) strategy means that you buy a fixed amount of an ETF / Stock / Crypto every time it falls. For instance, to BTD the S&P 500 ( SPY ), you could purchase $500 USD each time the price falls. Assuming the macro-economic conditions of the underlying country remain favourable, BTD strategies will result in capital gains over a period of many years, e.g. 10 years.
