[Floride] 4 Layers of Bollinger Shadow
This is the indicator I named 4LBS. That means four layers of bollinger shadow.
This is an indicator that I made to see how far past prices could affect the future prices.
And I found some very interesting and beautiful things about it, and I wanted to share them with you, so I publish this indicator.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Hello, nice to meet you all. my name as a trader is Floride.
First of all, I am not good at English, so there may be many grammatically incorrect sentences below.
I ask for your understanding in advance. Thanks for your understanding.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
What is it?
bollinger Bands usually has one moving average line. And there's two bands that uses same period value of standard deviation as the former MA. And this indicator, by the way, has a 4 shadow bands
that uses twice,three,four,five time the value of the MA's period.
Appearance -
This indicator has four layers, and there are also other layers between them.
You can turn on or off all the shadow layers.
Uses of Indicator and Examples
examples of actual use
1. market strongness diagnosis
-It seems all layers of shadow has some degree resist/support forces.
This indicator has the 4th layer - "L4". (indicated by red lines).
I saw emergence of volatility quite frequently when this last layer breaks through.
When price breaks through this area or line, shade appear on the L4 layer in red. and red cross appear on the that point. This is I called Marlin signal.
If you saw red color shadow in this indicator, then the market may have quite high volatility.
(of course, there's not 100%. Please be careful about this.)
But I've also checked in quite several markets. when this volatility emerges, then also that market seems to started to building quite directional power afterwards.
I mean, after the marlin signal, market tends to have bigger volatility, and tends to go one direction.
again, it's not 100%. but probability is quite high.
But maybe depending on the type of market you need some adjustment.
Recommended values are M2-1.618, M3-2.618
Or M2-1, M3-2. default value is M2-1.618, M3-2.618
and also, if prices breakthrough the channels, or layers, It tends to break through the at once, in first bar. In other words, if price don't break through the first or second candle, it's very likely that the price won't break through channel for the time being.
2. market weakness diagnosis
Usually, without external momentum, the price converges to the average value and does not deviate from the band. And if price fails to break through the most inner first layer-"L1 - the green channel", In that case, the market is usually assumed to be weak, or has low volatility.
- you can set alarms on tuna, marlin signal. and you don't have to watch chart all the time.
3. Signals
I put two signals in this indicator.
One has the name "Tuna," and the second has the name "Marlin."
As you can already tell from the name's feeling, tuna is a weaker signal and marlin is a stronger signal.
Actual example of a signal
1. Tuna signal
- When the tuna signal appears, you can guess that the current market is generally not weak. or has quite good directional force. or medium volatility.
Below is important.
- If a tuna signal appears, there is a possibility that a marlin will appear later.
- In my opinion, it might be wise not to have a position without a tuna signal.
- Almost all of the marlin signal appeared shortly after the tuna signal appeared.
2. Marlin signal
- When marlin signal appears, with a high probability, volatility can increase large.
- In the backtesting of the stock, in some cases, the market moved quite frequently in the direction of the marlin signal.
- The emergence of marlin can be seen as a pretty strong indication of the emergences of direction.

BB Signal v2.1 [ABA Invest]About
This signal appears based on 2nd candle break out of Bollinger Bands (called Momentum) with additional EMA 50 and EMA 200 as trend filters. so the concept is to take advantage of candle breakout by following trends.
How to use
Buy: When signal 'Buy' appears (following trend of upper timeframe)
Recommended stop loss: previous swing low
Sell: When signal 'Sell' appears (following trend of upper timeframe)
Recommended stop loss: previous swing high
Rules
1. use a good risk-reward ratio (minimum 1.5)
2. Please do backtest before using this signal
3. Don't always take every signal (must know when to stop)
double Bollinger BandsThis Bollinger Band indicator is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted Four standard deviations (two positively and two negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security's price, but which can be adjusted to user preference.
OB EmaCross + BBThis is my setup and the way I like to trade.
It is based in an EMA cross ( 9 x 21) and the Bollinger Bands without the central Moving Average.
I prefer to use the EMA cross in the middle of the bands.
It is also possible to activate "Colored Bars" to paint the candles according to the EMA cross: green if the candles are above both EMAs, white when at least one of them are in between EMAs and red if they are both below EMAs.
My operational works like this:
- Buy when price is above EMAs
- Sell when price is belos EMAs
Of course, I use BB to give me the direction of the trend and I only enter in a trade when the price is in the same trend of the BB.
I avoid trades when the bands are getting narrowed.
I hope you enjoy my indicator and let me know if you have any suggestion! ;)
Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator is an oscillator returning two series quantifying the significance of breakouts between the price and the extremities of the Bollinger Bands indicator.
Settings
Length: Period of the Bollinger Bands indicator
Mult: Controls the width of the Bollinger Bands
Src: Input source of the indicator
Usage
Each series is calculated by summing the distance between price and a respective Bollinger Bands extremity in the case price is outside this extremity and divided by the sum of the absolute distance between price and a respective extremity. This sum is done over the most recent Length bars.
Bullish breakouts are represented by the green areas of the indicator, while bearish breakouts are represented by the red areas of the indicator.
The oscillator can determine the presence of an uptrend when the bullish area is superior to the bearish area, while a downtrend is indicated by a bearish area being superior to the bullish one. The significance of the breakout is determined by the amplitude of each area, with higher amplitudes indicating more significant breakouts or strong trends.
Using higher Mult values would naturally return wider bands, which would induce less frequent breakouts, this would be highlighted by the oscillator.
In the chart above we can see the oscillator using a multiplicative factor of 2.
K's Reversal Indicator IK's reversal indicator I is a special combination between Bollinger bands and the MACD oscillator. It is a contrarian indicator that depends on the following conditions:
• A buy signal is generated whenever the current market price is below the 100-period lower Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be above its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be below its previous signal line.
• A sell (short) signal is generated whenever the current market price is above the 100-period upper Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be below its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be above its previous signal line.
The way to use K's reversal indicator is to combine it with your already long/short bias in a sideways/range market in order to maximize the probability of success.
Limitations of the indicator include the following:
• There are no clear exit rules that work well on average across the markets. Even though K’s reversal indicator gives contrarian signals, it does not show when to exit the positions.
• As with other indicators, it underperforms on some markets and is not to be used everywhere.
• False signals tend to occur during trending markets but there is no proven way to detect a false signal.
Percentile Major Move Indicator This indicator is a powerful tool for understanding how big of a move a product, crypto, or currency has recently had.
Anything inside of the green bars is a standard move with a 68% chance of happening based on your chart timeframe.
Any move that touches the red lines to the upside or downside has a 2%+ chance of happening in either direction.
This is a powerful indicator but just one point of data and should be used as such.
K's Volatility BandsVolatility bands come in all shapes and forms contrary to what is believed. Bollinger bands remain the principal indicator in the volatility bands family. K's Volatility bands is an attempt at optimizing the original bands. Below is the method of calculation:
* We must first start by calculating a rolling measure based on the average between the highest high and the lowest low in the last specified lookback window. This will give us a type of moving average that tracks the market price. The specificity here is that when the market does not make higher highs nor lower lows, the line will be flat. A flat line can also be thought of as a magnet of the price as the ranging property could hint to a further sideways movement.
* The K’s volatility bands assume the worst with volatility and thus will take the maximum volatility for a given lookback period. Unlike the Bollinger bands which will take the latest volatility calculation every single step of time, K’s volatility bands will suppose that we must be protected by the maximum of volatility for that period which will give us from time to time stable support and resistance levels.
Therefore, the difference between the Bollinger bands and K's volatility bands are as follows:
* Bollinger Bands' formula calculates a simple moving average on the closing prices while K's volatility bands' formula calculates the average of the highest highs and the lowest lows.
* Bollinger Bands' formula calculates a simple standard deviation on the closing prices while K's volatility bands' formula calculates the highest standard deviation for the lookback period.
Applying the bands is similar to applying any other volatility bands. We can list the typical strategies below:
* The range play strategy : This is the usual reversal strategy where we buy whenever the price hits the lower band and sell short whenever it hits the upper band.
* The band re-entry strategy : This strategy awaits the confirmation that the price has recognized the band and has shaped a reaction around it and has reintegrated the whole envelope. It may be slightly lagging in nature but it may filter out bad trades.
* Following the trend strategy : This is a controversial strategy that is the opposite of the first one. It assumes that whenever the upper band is surpassed, a buy signal is generated and whenever the lower band is broken, a sell signal is generated.
* Combination with other indicators : The bands can be combined with other technical indicators such as the RSI in order to have more confirmation. This is however no guarantee that the signals will improve in quality.
* Specific strategy on K’s volatility bands : This one is similar to the first range play strategy but it adds the extra filter where the trade has a higher conviction if the median line is flat. The reason for this is that a flat line means that no higher highs nor lower lows have been made and therefore, we may be in a sideways market which is a fertile ground for mean-reversion strategies.
ViVen-Multi Time Frame Bollinger Band StrategyThis indicator created to identify the strong Support and Resistance levels based on the Bollinger Bands. When two different time frame Bollinger Bands are travelling together then its a strong Support or Resistance Levels.
I have added 5 Min, 15 Min, 30 Min, 1 Hr and 1 Day time frame Bollinger Bands in one Chart. You can select and combine whichever the TF you want.
Default values considered - Period - 20 and Std.Dev is 2
You can on/off the indicator based on the requirement.
Trade plan:
BUY - When price comes near to the Bottom Bollinger Band level (look for candle confirmation is plus). If multiple Bollinger bands travels together then is Strong Support. (Exit if Price Breaks down the BB)
SELL - When price reaches the Upper Bollinger Band level (look for candle confirmation is plus). If multiple Bollinger bands travels together then is Strong Support. (Exit if Price Breaks Up the BB)
Middle Line - is the 20 SMA line
When the Gap between Upper and Lower Band is narrow then we can expect a trending movement soon.

Beacon - Anthony Crudele's IndicatorBeacon uses the current volatility of the market based on your trading time frame to determine support and resistance levels, whether a trend is intact or ready to revert back in the range. One of the most difficult things I went through as a trader was determining whether we are in a trend day or if we are in grind up or grind down mode. I created Beacon to give me a simple look at the market to determine what type of environment we are in. I use Bollinger Bands (3 standard deviation) to determine the volatility cycle. Once the BB make peaks I took my Fibonacci Retracement tool and did a retracement from the peak high of the BB to the peak low. I use 70%, 50% and 30% for my support and resistance levels. I use those levels because I tested pretty much every percent level and those percentages averaged the highest performance on all tick charts and time charts. You can use Beacon on whatever time frame or tick chart you are trading on and it will determine that specific volatility cycle.

Bollinger Bands Strategy - CohenIndicator based on the “Prince of NY” strategy developed by Rodrigo Cohen .
It consists in the use of Bollinger Bands, combined with a coloring rule to indicate places of purchase and sale.
An entry signal is given when a candle close outside the band, where, if the next one closes inside, there is the entrance, looking for the MA or the other band.
Red candle - indicates a sell signal.
Green candle - indicates a buy signal.
Double Bollinger Bands StrategyThe Strategy involves two Bollinger Bands (BB) at a go.
One with Divergence of 1 and another 2.
Strategy:
When the price rides above the inner BB, buy, check if it rides above the second BB. Exit when price falls inside the Outer BB and enters the Inner BB.
When the price rides below the inner BB, buy, check if it rides below the second BB. Exit when price rises inside the Outer BB and enters the Inner BB.
Luckscout's Double Bollinger Bands StrategyLong Trade Setups:
To go long (to buy), you have to wait for one of the candlesticks to close above the BB upper band. (background color is green)
Short Trade Setups:
To go short (to sell), you have to wait for one of the candlesticks to close below the BB lower band. (background color is red)
How To Maximize Your Profit?
As I explained above, this trading system is good in catching the trends. Therefore, you’d better to take the advantage of the strong movements and maximize your profit.
When there is a strong trade setup, you can also take two positions with the same stop loss, when there is a trade setup based on the Double Bollinger Bands trading system. Set a 2 x SL target for the first position, and no target for the second one. If the first position hits the target, move the second’s position stop loss to breakeven and hold it (TLDR : Hold a sell as long as background is red)
In case of a long position, hold the second position as long as the candlesticks form between the BB1 and BB2 upper bands, or above the Bollinger Middle Band. Close the second position when candlesticks start crossing the BB1 upper bands, or when one of the candlesticks breaks below the Bollinger Middle Band . (TLDR : Holda buy as long as background is green)
(Poshtrader) Bollinger Band SqueezeThe Bollinger Band Squeeze is a trading strategy designed to find consolidations with decreasing volatility. In its simplest form, this strategy is neutral and the ensuing break can be up or down. Traders, therefore, must employ other aspects of technical analysis to formulate a trading bias to act before the break or confirm the break. Acting before the break will improve the risk-reward ratio.

Bollinger bands/Lagging span crossHello my dear ambitious traders
I'm working hard this week to publish some great indicators this week and open sourced. Hope you'll enjoy, learn and use them.
This will be my greatest reward but comments showing appreciation are also very welcomed (actually likes too) :)
For today, I'll share a simple indicator but it's coming along with some insightful knowledge ^^
Anyway, I'm not here to ask you to this but to share a very cool indicator I made a few months ago and wanted to share for FREE with the community today
The indicator is related to this educational post : What-a-Bollinger-Bands-Lagging-span-cross-can-tell-us/
This trading technique was invented by Robbytrade, a famous french trader twitter.com
I wanted to have those visual signals on the chart so I coded it.
The advantage of being a developer is that you can litteraly code what you miss and get your life better in the process. The one that will find a way to code a new form of money will be rich... wait.... that guy is called Satoshi Nakamoto...
That's all for me today my friends
PS
Trying to update the Trade Manager shared yesterday with some cool features. More to come in the upcoming days
Enjoy
Dave
