Bande di Bollinger (BB)
Bollinger Band Reversal StudyThis strategy was inspired by ParallaxFX.
This strategy attempts to predict when a price reversal will happen. It uses bollinger bands, stochastics and candle formations.
The idea is that when an indecision candle, such as a doji, crosses outside the bollinger bands, then is followed by another candle that pushed sharply back inside the bands, you have a setup.
These setups are marked with green arrows to go long and red arrows to go short. Wait until the next candle begins before acting. The arrow may come and go as the price fluctuates, so wait until the candle closes.
Another play is when the same setup occurs, but on the middle bollinger band instead of the outer band.
These setups are marked with blue arrows to go long and yellow arrows to go short. Wait until the next candle begins before acting. The arrow may come and go as the price fluctuates, so wait until the candle closes.
Closing can happen a number of ways. You can use a predetermined risk-reward or look to sell when the price reaches another band.
In summary.
Go long when a green or blue arrow appears.
Go Short when a red or yellow arrow appears.
Green arrows show signs of reversal from lower BB.
Blue arrows show signs of reversal from middle BB.
Red arrows show signs of reversal from upper BB.
Yellow arrows show signs of reversal from middle BB.
Wait for candle with arrow to close before taking trade.
Median Absolute Deviation Filtered SMA & BBMedian Absolute Deviation (MAD) is a robust measurement of variability and more resilient against outliers and small samples.
This experiment uses MAD as a means of filtering outliers from an SMA calculation. First we construct the equivalent of a Bollinger Band, but based on the median as the basis and a multiple( k ) of MAD as the outlier cutoff.
k can be set a number of ways. As a simple multiple (3 - very conservative / 2.5 - moderately conservative / 2 - poorly conservative). Alternatively MAD can be used as an estimator of standard deviation by using a multiple of 1.4826 (SD1 - 1.4826 / SD2 - 2.9652 / SD3 - 4.4478).
Once we have a cutoff range an SMA is calculated with the outliers filtered out. Additionally a Bollinger band can be output using the filtered SMA as the basis and a multiple of the MAD instead of SD for the bands.
MultiTimeFrame Shifting Predictive Bollinger BandsThis is the optimized version of my MTFSBB indicator with capability of possible bands prediction in case of negative shifting (to the left).
Make me happy by using it and sending me your ideas about the prediction.
Bollinger Band Volatility Spread VisualizerThis indicator was created to see the total dollar (or whatever currency pair) amount spread between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. This knowledge of knowing this spread can be used to indicate upcoming periods of high volatility in a market. The fundamental idea behind predicting periods of high volatility is backed up by the idea that periods of low volatility are followed by periods of high volatility and vice versa.
Based on this knowledge, the numerical spread of the Bollinger Bands, as shown in the indicator, we can deduce that when the value is super low, we can expect a period of high volatility AKA: big move incoming.
This indicator is not fully finished because this was my first time coding in Pinescript and I wanted to post the basic indicator first.
My future plans for improving this indicator include:
Adding customization as an option to choose your personal BBands settings that this indicator is based off of
Potentially converting this indicator as a TradingView Strategy where a signal would go off when the spread reaches a certain threshold
3MAs & BB, Time-Res, Low-VolTriple MAs with EMA/SMA option, and specific timeframe options.
Very customizable.

Bolinger Band + Mid Band using EMAEMA become more popular than SMA.
EMA reacts faster than SMA.
Mid Band helps you to find out trend.
Ichimoku ++ public v0.9Description:
The intention of this script is to build/provide a kind of work station / work bench for analysing markets and especially Bitcoin . Another goal is to get maximum market information while maintaining a good chart overview. A chart overloaded with indicators is useless because it obscures the view of the chart as the most important indicator. The chart should be clear and market structure should be easy to see. In addition, some indicator signals can be activated to better assess the quality of signals from the past. The chart environment or the chart context is important for the quality of a signal.
The intention of this script is not to teach someone how to trade or how to use these Indicators but to provide a tool to analyse markets better and to help to draw conclusions of market behaviour in a higher quality.
A general advise:
Use the included indicators and signals in a confluent way to get stoploss, buy and sell entry points. SR clusters can be identified for use in conjunction with fractals as entry and exit pints. My other scripts can also help. Prefer 4 hours, daily and a longer time frame. There is no "Holy Grail" :).
If someone is new to trading you should learn about the indicators first. Definitely learn about Ichimoku Cloud Indicator.
Integrated indicators are:
Ichimoku Cloud and signals
Parabolic SAR and signal
ATR stop
Bollinger Bands
EMA / SMA and background color as signal
Williams Fractals and signal
Puell Multiple signal
Double BB + Multi Ema Use this indicator to identify the market trend, possible dynamic Supports or Resistances and possible setbacks or corrections.
Take the Moving Averages (50,75,100,200) as a reference to identify if the market is bullish or bearish.
Have as reference the Moving Averages (8,15,20,25) as possible dynamic Supports or Resistances.
Have the BB as a reference, to identify possible setbacks or changes in trends.
(MTF) Bollinger Bands + RE RSIs + Hidden Supports & ResistancesI merged some of my previous written indicators, because a combination of multi-timeframe Bollinger Bands, RE RSI and Resistance/Support levels could help a lot.
Don't forget to add my other useful indicator (Classical SnR) to the chart to maximize your profit!
Price Distance to its MA by DGTPrices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement as stated in an Article by Denis Alajbeg, Zoran Bubas and Dina Vasic published in International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management
Here comes a study to indicate the idea of this article, Price Distance to its Moving Averages (P/MA Ratio)
The analysis expressed in the paper indicates that there is a connection between the distance of the prices to moving averages and subsequent returns : portfolios of stocks with lower prices to moving averages generally outperformed portfolios of stocks with higher prices to moving averages. This “overextended” effect is more pronounced when using shorter moving averages of 20 and 50 days, and is especially strong in short-term holding periods like one and two weeks. The highest annual returns are recorded when buying in the range of 0-5% below shorter moving averages of 20/50 days, and 0-10% below longer moving averages of 100/200 days. However, buying very far below almost all moving averages on almost all holding periods produces the lowest returns.
The concept of this study recognizes three different modes of action.
In a clearly established upward trend traders should be buying when prices are near or below the MA line and selling when prices move too far above the MA.
Conversely, in downward trend stocks should be shorted when reaching or going above the moving average and covered when they drop too far below the MA line.
In a sideways movement traders are advised to buy if the price is too low below the moving average and sell when it goes too far above it
Short-term traders can expect to outperform in a one or two week time window if buying stocks with lower prices compared to their 20 and 50 SMA/EMA, one to two-week holding periods is quite high, ranging from 72,09% to 90,61% for the SMA(20, 50) and 85,03% to 87,5% for the EMA(20, 50). The best results for the SMA 20 and 50, on average, are concentrated in the region of 0-5% below the MA for the majority of holding periods. Buying very far below almost all MA in almost all holding periods turns out to be the worst possible option
Candle patterns, momentum could be used in conjunction with this indicator for better results. Try Colored DMI and Ichimoku colored SuperTrend by DGT

MTF Shifting BBs + Reverse Engineering RSIs Overlay on ChartAnother multi-timeframe indicator presents 3 MTF (each) Bollinger Bands and 3 MTF (each) Reverse Engineering RSI and of course with shifting (left/right) capability.
RERSI in a simple term is the RSI but on the main chart alongside with candles.
There are many adjustable options like:
- Show/Hide each BB
- Show/Hide each MA
- Non-integer BB deviation values
- Positive/Negative shifting values
- Show/Hide each RSI
- Show/Hide each RSI Mid Level
- Adjustable Overbought, Oversold and Mid Levels values
I wrote this after my first script MTFSBB, because it's very useful to have BBs and RSIs together on a chart.
Calculating RERSIs will take some time, so be patient with it and feel free to use it.
BBMA : Bollinger Band & Moving AverageBased on trading technique by Mr Oma Ally, Technical Analysis Guru.
1. Bollinger Band - standard setting, MA20, Dev = 2
2. EMA 50 ( Line Color = Aqua )
3. WMA High ( wma5 High and wma10 High )
Area Pink : WMA5 High < WMA10 High
Area Gray : WMA5 High > WMA10 High
4. WMA Low ( wma5 Low and wma10 Low )
Area Green : WMA5 Low > WMA10 Low
Area Gray : WMA5 Low < WMA10 Low
5. If you wish to see wma lines, adjust the transparency at the menu.
This is just an indicator setting.
For technique and how to apply for trading, kindly please refer to web/youtube/class/etc :)
Bollinger Bands + Pivots - V2It drawes a higest or lowest pivot when price intersects with bollinger bands.
Bollinger Bands T3/SMA/EMAThis is Bollinger Bands script with an option to choose three different moving averages. The simple moving average is the original settings used by Mr Bollinger. Exponential is a popular choice as it adds more value to the recent price movements. T3 is a lot faster at adapting to the recent price. Compared to exponential, it gives even more value to the recent prices and furthermore, it is smoother. I use it to polish my True Range scripts.
Another upgrade is the ability to have a different colour of the channel when the baseline moves up or down.
Back to calculation? Is it better to use T3 with Bollinger? My opinion is that it depends on the trader. Both of them give you slightly different information and it is essential to look at the historical behaviour and answer for yourself. Will I use T3 calculation? Well, I built this script to find out if I want to.
Have a great trade!
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.
