Durbtrade Bollinger Bands WidthFirst published script. Actually, this is my 1st script ever! I know its not flashy or anything, but I finally decided to try learning some pine... and to try and get rid of the dang 0 on my profile, haha. So here are the results after many hours.
I like using the BB Width indicator, and I wanted it to change color based on whether is was rising or falling. I also have it to automatically plot a horizontal line at 0 so I don't have to draw a line every time I apply the indicator to a new chart. And I changed the default precision to 3.
I noticed that there aren't that many BB Width scripts. and I don't think there is anything like this out there that I know of, so I hope someone else besides me will find it useful.
Please feel free to comment.
Bollinger Bands Width (BBW)
Modified Smoothed Heiken AshiThis code is based on Smoothed HA candle which will work on all chart types
condition for BUY:
1. When close crosses Smoothed HA
2.Close should be in side upper band
3.BBW must be greater than the average
vice versa for sell
this code takes data from HA chart so that it can be applied on all chart type.
Bollinger band and Bollinger band width conditions added for removal of unwanted signals
Alert added so that you can apply alert and check it in real time performance
thanks to The Secret Mindset You tube channel from where I got the idea to convert this into a pine script indicator

Bollinger Bands Pro : Hawk-Eye (by ImanPJN)Bollinger Bands Pro: Hawk Eye / is a professional version of the Bollinger Band Indicator that uses two bands instead of one. This is the second band I call the upper and lower middle band.
Sometimes you see that the candles are rejected from parts of the band and you do not know the real reason.
The real reason is the middle band, which is a secret line that we show you in Hawk eye and give you a professional and complete view of the trend and momentum of the trend.
This important line gives you the dynamic support and resistance points that were previously hidden from you.
The line also allows traders to pinpoint their entry and exit points, as well as notice that trend strengths or trend momentum are being lost.
Now we want to discuss the trading methods and strategies of this indicator, three main strategies that should be considered, the first is following the trend and the second is breaking the line And third is the Bollinger Bands divergences with the "BB %B" oscillator.
1 - Following the Trend :
You can follow the trend and when a good downtrend or uptrend is formed, enter the trade every time candles hits the middle band and bounces back and you can hold the position it until the middle band or baseline is broken .
2 - Breaking the Line :
When the middle band or baseline as our dynamic trend line is broken with a complete candlestick, we can close the trade or trade the reverse trend, but we recommend that you do not use trend reversal signals if you do not have enough skills.
3 - Bollinger Bands divergences :
We can also use the Bollinger Bands and the BB Percentage Index to find bullish and bullish divergence or overbought and oversold points. But it requires more mastery and research on both indicators

Simple Bollinger Bands Toolkit™TradeChartist Simple Bollinger Bands Toolkit is a useful set of Bollinger Bands based utilities, which includes 0 mean %B Oscillator , price volatility based BB Width , actual Bollinger Bands and BB Breakout Signals .
===================================================================================================================
™TradeChartist Simple Bollinger Bands Toolkit Features
================================================
Modified %B Oscillator with 0 as its mean
%B Oscillator Over-Bought (typically values > 80/90/100) and Over-Sold zones (typically values < - 80/-90/-100) can be displayed by enabling Show Over-Sold/Over-Bought Zones .
Highs and Lows of the %B Oscillator are displayed to help visualize Divergences.
BB Width as Price Volatility (BB Upper Band - BB Lower Band) can be displayed to visualize BB Squeeze zones.
Actual Bollinger Bands can be plotted by enabling Display Bollinger Bands . To display on main price chart, just move the BB Toolkit to price chart and merge the scales.
Breakout Signals can be displayed by enabling Display Bollinger Bands and Show BB Breakout Signals . This also displays background fill to help visualize the zones since the breakouts of upper/lower bands happened.
The BB Basis/Mean line is colour coded based on the %B Oscillator (%B>0 - Green, %B<0 - Red).
The Toolkit uses Simple Moving Average (SMA) for the basis line.
The default length is 55 and default Standard Deviation is 1. %B Oscillator can be smoothed (default - 5) using EMA to minimize noise. (Use 20 length and 2 standard deviation for classic Bollinger Bands).
Price Bars on the Main Price chart can be coloured by enabling BB Colour Bars .

Bollinger Bands %B Compare VixThis imple script converts your chosen chart price and outputs it as a percentage in relation to the Vix percentage.
If price (Blue line) is higher than 0.60 and vix (Red Line) is lower than 0. 40 then there is lower volatility and this is good for buying.
If price (Blue line) is lower than 0. 40 and vix (Red Line) is higher than 0.60 then there is higher volatility and this is good for selling, exiting and cash only.
If you like risk you can enter as soon as the price and vix cross in either direction
This is my first script, please give me a lot of critique, I won't cry hahaha :)

═══ 𝟭. 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 ═══
Trend Based Stochastic Oscillator is a modified version of the classic Stochastic Oscillator with the difference being the limits and also the plot itself to an extent.
--> Trend based Stochastic is a single plot oscillates between -100 to +100 and occasionally breaches these limits and can signal extremely overbought or oversold conditions unlike classic Stochastic indicator, which has two plots and strictly oscillates between 0-100.
--> Trend based Stochastic is extremely sensitive to price action, making it possible to detect every single divergence, both regular and hidden, even with the default smoothing factor of 5
--> Risk Meter employs Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ to let user choose the threshold limit and only from this point onwards, Risk Meter detects the divergences. This helps filter a lot of noise in addition to Price and Oscillator Pivot detection under 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 section.
The user has to choose the length for the Trend based Stochastic plot by entering number of bars in Lᴏᴏᴋʙᴀᴄᴋ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box (Default value is 55). The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength, based on the trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and the required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ . This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. HIgher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.
===================================================================================================================
════ 𝟮. 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 %𝗕 ═════
Bollinger Bands %B in Risk Meter oscillates between -100 to +100 rather than 0 - 1 in the classic version, with oversold/overbought levels breaching the limits and the plot is exactly the same otherwise.
Risk Meter employs Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ for Bollinger Bands %B to let the user choose the threshold limit and only from this point onwards, Risk Meter detects the divergences. This helps filter a lot of noise in addition to Price and Oscillator Pivot detection under 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 section.
The user has to choose the Simple Moving Average (SMA) length for the plot by entering number of bars in BB SMA Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box (Default value is 20). There is no need for Standard Deviation as the fundamental plot is exactly the same, given that the plot oscillates between -100 to +100. The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength, based on the trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and the required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ .

Volatility Risk Oscillator is an original ™TradeChartist model designed to visually see the Volatility risk for the security on any time frame.
To plot Volatility Risk for the security, the user has to enter the number of bars to detect volatility risk in Lᴏᴏᴋʙᴀᴄᴋ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box (Default Value is 55). The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength based on trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ . This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. HIgher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.
Even though Divergences work on Volatility Risk Oscillator, it is not employed as it produces far too many and there is no set Threshold limit that can be set to filter the divergences.

══════ 𝟰. 𝗥𝗦𝗜 𝗢𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 ═══════
There are two different types of RSI Oscillators in this section that can be plotted.
RSI Oscillator - Classic RSI modified to fit -100 to +100 scale rather than 0 - 100 scale. Risk Meter employs Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ for RSI Oscillator also, to let the user choose the threshold limit and only from this point onwards, Risk Meter detects the divergences. This helps filter a lot of noise in addition to Price and Oscillator Pivot detection under 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 section.
RSI Risk Oscillator - This oscillator plots the potential RSI risk based on RSI length (which can be changed in RSI Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box and main source price ( Sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ ). The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength, based on the trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and the required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ . This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. Higher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.
To plot RSI Risk Oscillator, 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐒𝐈 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 must be enabled. Disabling this option plots normal RSI Oscillator.

[blackcat] L2 Center Band BollingerLevel: 2
Background
Bollinger bands are a type of price envelope developed by John Bollinger , where price envelopes define upper and lower price ranges. Bollinger Bands are envelopes that are represented with a standard deviation above and below a simple moving average of price. Because the spacing of the bands is based on the standard deviation, they adjust for fluctuations in the volatility of the underlying price.
Function
L2 Center Band Bollinger takes advantage of Bollinger band to detect sideways and trends. At the same time, I made an improvement and the center Bollinger line as a fast-slow-line color band. The algorithm of the color center band is composed of price and volume information, which produces gold cross and dead cross for short term long and short entries.
Key Signal
aa10 --> bollinger middle fast line
aa12 --> bollinger middle slow line
up --> upper envelope
dn --> lower envelope
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. it can easy see the sections of trends or sideways by width of Bollinger band
2. long and short entries are disclosed
Cons:
1. Some noise is still incorporated in trends
2. due to this is un-optimized version, time frame and trading pairs need to be selected
3. Bollinger re-entry signal is not disclosed yet
Remarks
The long and short signal is compatible to @nilux strategy backtest framework for sandardized backtest scheme: Backtest
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Bollinger Bands Technic + AlertReferred to the book "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands"
The best use of BB is to wait for squezze and breakout to capture the start of the trend.
Here the signal and target profit.
1. Long Signal when the close crosses above the upper BB and the Bandwidth of current bar exceeds 1.25 times of the previous bar (Volatility expands). : Green Triangle Up
2. Short Signal when the close crosses down the lower BB and the the Bandwidth of current bar exceeds 1.25 times of the previous bar (Volatility expands). : Red Triangle Down
3, Long TP when the upper BB turns down. : X cross Red
4. Short TP when the lower BB turns up. : X cross Purple
You can adjust any input of BB as well as how many times bandwidth changes from previous period.
I filter out the to high to buy signal by using ADX, if ADX over 50, the buy signal will be omitted.
As well as the TP signal , If the ADX is to low <35 , meaning it's has more room to go. the TP signal to be omitted.
Anyway , user can adjust all of this sensitivity.
As this is the trend following indicator, you will experience the bad signal during the sideways. That's life.
This is the semi discretionary system. You can use as a guideline along side with your other methods and money management.
Thank you!

Colored Directional Movement and Bollinger Band's Cloud by DGTThis study combines Bollinger Bands, one of the most popular technical analysis indicators on the market, and Directional Movement (DMI), which is another quite valuable technical analysis indicator.
Bollinger Bands used in conjunction with Directional Movement (DMI) may help getting a better understanding of the ever changing landscape of the market and perform more advanced technical analysis
Here are details of the concept applied
1- Plots Bollinger Band’s (BB) Cloud colored based on Bollinger Band Width (BBW) Indicator’s value
Definition
Bollinger Bands (created by John Bollinger ) are a way to measure volatility . As volatility increases, the wider the bands become and similarly as volatility decreases, the gap between bands narrows
Bollinger Bands, in widely used approach, consist of a band of three lines. Likewise common usage In this study a band of five lines is implemented
The line in the middle is a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 bars (the most popular usage). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands. The Upper and Lower Bands are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. the Upper and Lower Bands in this study are set to two and three standard deviations (widely used form is only two standard deviations) away from the SMA (The Middle Line), hence there are two Upper Bands and two Lower Bands. The background between two Upper Bands is filled with a green color and the background between two Lower Bands is filled with a red color. In this we have obtained Bollinger Band’s (BB) Clouds (Upper Cloud and Lower Cloud)
Additionally the intensity of the color of the background is calculated with Bollinger Bands Width ( BBW ), which is a technical analysis indicator derived from the standard Bollinger Bands indicator. Bollinger Bands Width, quantitatively measures the width between the Upper and Lower Bands. In this study the intensity of the color of the background is increased if BBW value is greater than %25
What to look for
Price Actions : Prices are almost always within the bands especially at this study the bands of three standard deviations away from the SMA. Price touching or breaking the BB Clouds could be considered as buying or selling opportunity. However this is not always the case, there are exceptions such as Walking the Bands. “Walking the Bands” can occur in either a strong uptrend or a strong downtrend. During a strong trend, there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the BB Clouds. Each time that this occurs, it is not a signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move. In this study in order to get a better understanding of the trend and add ability to perform some advanced technical analysis Directional Movement Indicator (DMI) is added to be used in conjunction with Bollinger Bands.
Cycling Between Expansion and Contraction : One of the most well-known theories in regards to Bollinger Bands is that volatility typically fluctuates between periods of expansion (Bands Widening : surge in volatility and price breaks through the BB Cloud) and contraction (Bands Narrowing : low volatility and price is moving relatively sideways). Using Bollinger Bands in conjunction with Bollinger Bands Width may help identifying beginning of a new directional trend which can result in some nice buying or selling signals. Of course the trader should always use caution
2- Plots Colored Directional Movement Line
Definition
Directional Movement (DMI) (created by J. Welles Wilder ) is actually a collection of three separate indicators combined into one. Directional Movement consists of the Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+D I) and Minus Directional Indicator (-D I) . ADX's purposes is to define whether or not there is a trend present. It does not take direction into account at all. The other two indicators (+DI and -DI) are used to compliment the ADX. They serve the purpose of determining trend direction. By combining all three, a technical analyst has a way of determining and measuring a trend's strength as well as its direction.
This study combines all three lines in a single colored shapes series plotted on the top of the price chart indicating the trend strength with different colors and its direction with triangle up and down shapes.
What to look for
Trend Strength : Analyzing trend strength is the most basic use for the DMI. Wilder believed that a DMI reading above 25 indicated a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicated a weak or non-existent trend
Crosses : DI Crossovers are the significant trading signal generated by the DMI
With this study
A Strong Trend is assumed when ADX >= 25
Bullish Trend is defined as (+D I > -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as green triangle up shape on top of the price chart
Bearish Trend is defined as (+D I < -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as red triangle down shape on top of the price chart
Week Trend is assumed when 17< ADX < 25, which is plotted as black triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Non-Existent Trend is assumed when ADX < 17, which is plotted as yellow triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by comparing ADX’s current value with its previous value
Summary of the Study:
Even more simplified and visually enhanced DMI drawing comparing to its classical usage (may require a bit practice to get used to it)
As said previously, to get a better understanding of the trend and add ability to perform some advanced technical analysis Directional Movement Indicator (DMI) is used in conjunction with Bollinger Bands.

Note: Clean version
Bollinger BandWidth With High/Low ReferencesThis indicator ads option to compare BandWidth accross time. John Bollinger says he uses 125 period.
Colour Coded Bollinger BandsBollinger Bands coloured to more clearly show periods of contraction and expansion. Green filled bands indicate expansion/increasing bandwidth, and red fill indicates contraction/decreasing bandwidth.
IO_BB_WidthJohn Bollinger's academic version of Bollinger Bands width
Added some customizations around background colors.
If background color is colored, then the market is trending.
(JS) Bollinger Band Momentum Average Trailing StopsA tool I made to use alongside the Bollinger Band Momentum Average - fairly simple to use. It has the same settings as the BBMA so you can match them together.
If you prefer a wider stop than a close on the opposing side of the BBMA, this is for you.
The "stop" is triggered by a close on the other side of the stop line line turns red whenever the stop is triggered.
The calculation is simple:
The stop on the short side it is High - BBMA over the length of time you select to use (20 is default).
On the long side, it is BBMA - Low also over the preferred length of time you select to use.
Note: Just shorten the length to make a tighter stop.
(JS) Bollinger Bands Momentum AverageSo this is something I've been using with my Squeeze system that I have found very useful (great addition especially if you use the Squeeze Arrows).
First thing I'd like to point out is that the default setting (20 SMA) is also the default for the Bollinger Bands basis line, so I recommend using the line set at the default.
First thing you'll notice is that whichever side of the line the candles close on, that basically determines the direction of the arrow for the Squeeze Arrows.
So this is extremely helpful in case momentum shifts after an arrow signal is given, if you see the price shoot to the other side of the line you can use that as a means of protection.
Second, the line is color coded in a way that I hope helps with entries and exits.
The colors of the line change based on two things:
1. If there is currently a squeeze.
2. Are the Bollinger Bands expanding or contracting.
Generally speaking, when the bands are contracting (light green and light orange default colors) this is the ideal time for entry before a trending move occurs.
Same thing on the flip side when they're expanding (dark green and dark orange default colors), that's usually the better time to exit.
Now what's the difference between orange and green?
Green = There's an ongoing squeeze
Orange = There's currently no squeeze
So playing the side of momentum when the line is light green and starts to break in a certain direction would be the ideal entry.
And, if momentum changes from that point, you can always use a close on the opposite side of the line as a stop (or an entry the other way).
This is something else I've been using on my own for a little while prior to publishing and it has been a tremendous tool for me. Hope it helps you all as much as it has me!
Stochastic Bollinger BandsThis indicator started off as a bit of an experiment, but it ended up looking quite useful.
It plots closing price (which can be changed) in relation to the bollinger bands upper and lower bands. This relationship is then run through a Stochastic function much like RSI is with StochasticRSI.
This plot line is smoothed with the K Smoothing value in the settings, and then this plot line is smoothed again with he D Smoothing value to give a signal line.
When the plot lines are outside the horizontal upper and lower limit lines, then this indicates that price is outside the bollinger bands. This can indicate entry and exit signals.
In the background, there is an area plotting a stochastic version of the Bollinger Band width. This would show periods of high and low volatility as it relates to previous volatility.
The stochastic length for the width is set to be very long (144 periods) in order to encapsulate a long range of values to compare to.
Default Settings:
==============
Source: The data point in which to compare to the upper and lower Bollinger Bands - set to close.
BB Length: The length in periods to generate the moving average used for the bands - set at 20 periods.
Mult: This is the multiplier used in the calculations for the bands - set at 2.
BB Width Stochastic Length: This is how far back it looks to compare the current width of the bands to previous widths - set at 144 periods..
BB Stochastic Length: This is how far back to compare closing price in relation to the bands - set at 14 periods..
K Smoothing: This is used to smooth the Stochastic Bollinger band value - set at 3 periods.
D Smoothing: This is a moving average of the smoothed K value in order to provide a signal line - set at 3 periods..
Moving Average Type: This allows you to use either a Simple moving average or an Exponential moving average - set for SMA.

MACD+BB (SH v1.1)Twitter: @DrSHelmet. All credit and thanks to @cryptobiasfunke for this strategy.

Description:
Indicator version: 1.1
This custom script plots the MACD histogram, applies Bollinger bands to the histogram, and then colours the Bollinger bands in different colours depending on whether the bands are contracting or expanding.
Suggested strategy:
Periods of low volatility, seen in a Bollinger band pinch, are followed by large moves (BB expansion). A contraction of the MACD BB may similarly precede a significant move in price. This indicator allows you to see when such a move may be starting, by watching for colour change (default: blue-->orange) on the BB lines after a BB pinch has occured. If the MACD histogram is increasing in magnitude and surfing the BB in a certain direction, this suggests a price move is starting in the direction of the histogram.
Intended for short-timeframe scalping (<1hr charts), but initial testing suggests some validity on higher timeframes.
Bollinger Bear Sniper/StudyThis is a simple study with buys and sells alerts. This study uses Bollinger Bands to identify strong candles, buys in the middle of candle and sells on the close of candle without holding any position longer than the period of the candle. This is for those who want to make small profit or loss and move on rather than hodling in down trend market. With this approach, bags and hodling are avoided. You either gain on each candle or lose. When your gains are more than your loses then you are in good business.
Since buys are made on candles that have shown strong upward movement and sells on the close of the same candle, loses or completely minimized. This ensures that higher percentage of the transactions result in profit. This works best when use on 30 minutes or above candles.
Use it at your own risk we are NOT responsible.
Bollinger Bear SniperThis script uses Bollinger Band but with different interpretation. The upper Bollinger Band is the resistant level, the lower Bollinger Band is the base or support level. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and the Bollinger Bandwidth helps us avoid high risk.
The script identifies candles that are marking bold upward moves in prices and fires buy signal. Sales signals are fired when the candle closes in positive. The idea is to buy and sell on the same candle or next positively closed candle. This is anti-bear-anti-bags strategy. You either make profit or loss holding no bag. When you gain more than lose you are in business. This script is set to gain more than lose. We however offer no guarantee, expressed or implied. We are NOT responsible.
