[blackcat] L1 Dynamic Multi-Layer Bollinger Bands## Overview
The L1 Dynamic Multi-Layer Bollinger Bands script is a custom indicator designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of price movements using Bollinger Bands, a widely-used technical analysis tool. The Bollinger Bands consist of a middle band being a simple moving average (SMA) of the close price, and an upper and lower band that are respectively 1.382 and 2.56 times the standard deviation of the close price over a 21-day period.
## How to Use
1. **Add the Indicator to Your Chart**: Click on the "Add to Chart" button in the Pine-Script editor. This will add the L1 Dynamic Multi-Layer Bollinger Bands to your chart.
2. **Interpreting the Bands**: The Bollinger Bands are plotted on your chart. The middle band is the 21-day SMA of the close price. The upper band is 1.382 times the standard deviation above the middle band, and the lower band is 1.382 times the standard deviation below the middle band.
3. **Analyzing the Bands**: When the price moves above the upper band, it is considered an overbought condition. When the price moves below the lower band, it is considered an oversold condition. These are potential areas of support and resistance.
4. **Multi-Layer Structure**: The script also calculates two additional bands, `up2` and `loow2`, which are respectively 2.56 times the standard deviation above and below the middle band. These bands provide a more layered perspective on the volatility of the price.
5. **Color Coding**: The area between the upper and lower bands is filled with a color that indicates the direction of the price movement. Green indicates an upward trend, and red indicates a downward trend.

Multi-Band Breakout IndicatorThe Multi-Band Breakout Indicator was created to help identify potential breakout opportunities in the market. It combines multiple bands (ATR-Based and Donchian) and moving averages to provide valuable insights into the underlying trend and potential breakouts. By understanding the calculations, interpretation, parameter adjustments, potential applications, and limitations of the indicator, traders can effectively incorporate it into their trading strategy.
Calculation:
The indicator utilizes several calculations to plot the bands and moving averages. The length parameter determines the period used for the Average True Range (ATR), which measures volatility. A higher length captures a longer-term view of price movement, while a lower length focuses on shorter-term volatility. The multiplier parameter adjusts the distance of the upper and lower bands from the ATR. A higher multiplier expands the bands, accommodating greater price volatility, while a lower multiplier tightens the bands, reflecting lower volatility. The MA Length parameter determines the period for the moving averages used to calculate the trend and trend moving average. A higher MA Length creates a smoother trend line, filtering out shorter-term fluctuations, while a lower MA Length provides a more sensitive trend line.
The Donchian calculations in the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator play a significant role in identifying potential breakout opportunities and providing additional confirmation for trading signals. In this indicator, the Donchian calculations are applied to the trend line, which represents the average of the upper and lower bands. To calculate the Donchian levels, the indicator uses the Donchian Length parameter, which determines the period over which the highest high and lowest low are calculated. A longer Donchian Length captures a broader price range, while a shorter length focuses on more recent price action. By incorporating the Donchian calculations into the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator, traders gain an additional layer of confirmation for breakout signals.
Interpretation:
The Multi-Band Breakout Indicator offers valuable interpretation for traders. The upper and lower bands represent dynamic levels of resistance and support, respectively. These bands reflect the potential price range within which the asset is expected to trade. The trend line is the average of these bands and provides a central reference point for the overall trend. When the price moves above the upper band, it suggests a potential overbought condition and a higher probability of a pullback. Conversely, when the price falls below the lower band, it indicates a potential oversold condition and an increased likelihood of a bounce. The trend moving average further smooths the trend line, making it easier to identify the prevailing direction.
The crossover of the trend line (representing the average of the upper and lower bands) and the trend moving average holds a significant benefit for traders. This crossover serves as a powerful signal for potential trend changes and breakout opportunities in the market. When the trend line crosses above the trend moving average, it suggests a shift in momentum towards the upside, indicating a potential bullish trend. This provides traders with an early indication of a possible upward movement in prices. Conversely, when the trend line crosses below the trend moving average, it indicates a shift in momentum towards the downside, signaling a potential bearish trend. This crossover acts as an early warning for potential downward price movement. By identifying these crossovers, traders can capture the initial stages of a new trend, enabling them to enter trades at favorable entry points and potentially maximize their profit potential.
Breakout Signals:
For bullish breakouts, the indicator looks for a bullish crossover between the trend line and the trend moving average. This crossover suggests a shift in momentum towards the upside. Additionally, it checks if the current price has broken above the upper band and the previous Donchian high. This confirms that the price is surpassing a previous resistance level, indicating further upward movement.
For bearish breakouts, the indicator looks for a bearish crossunder between the trend line and the trend moving average. This crossunder indicates a shift in momentum towards the downside. It also checks if the current price has broken below the lower band and the previous Donchian low. This confirms that the price is breaking through a previous support level, signaling potential downward movement.
When a bullish or bearish breakout is detected, it suggests a potential trading opportunity. Traders may consider initiating positions in the direction of the breakout, anticipating further price movement in that direction. However, it's important to remember that breakouts alone do not guarantee a successful trade. Other factors, such as market conditions, volume, and confirmation from additional indicators, should be taken into account. Risk management techniques should also be implemented to manage potential losses.
Coloration:
The coloration in the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator is used to visually represent different aspects of the indicator and provide valuable insights to traders. Let's break down the coloration components:
-- Trend/Basis Color : The tColor variable determines the color of the bars based on the relationship between the trend line (trend) and the closing price (close), as well as the relationship between the trend line and the trend moving average (trendMA). If the trend line is above the closing price and the trend moving average is also above the closing price, the bars are colored fuchsia, indicating a potential bullish trend. If the trend line is below the closing price and the trend moving average is also below the closing price, the bars are colored lime, indicating a potential bearish trend. If neither of these conditions is met, the bars are colored yellow, representing a neutral or indecisive market condition.
-- Moving Average Color : The maColor variable determines the color of the filled area between the trend line and the trend moving average. If the trend line is above the trend moving average, the area is filled with a lime color with 70% opacity, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, if the trend line is below the trend moving average, the area is filled with a fuchsia color with 70% opacity, indicating a potential bearish trend. This coloration helps traders visually identify the relationship between the trend line and the trend moving average.
-- highColor and lowColor : The highColor and lowColor variables determine the colors of the high Donchian band (hhigh) and the low Donchian band (llow), respectively. These bands represent dynamic levels of resistance and support. If the highest point in the previous Donchian period (hhigh) is above the upper band, the highColor is set to olive with 90% opacity, indicating a potential resistance level. On the other hand, if the lowest point in the previous Donchian period (llow) is below the lower band, the lowColor is set to red with 90% opacity, suggesting a potential support level. These colorations help traders quickly identify important price levels and assess their significance in relation to the bands.
By incorporating coloration, the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator provides visual cues to traders, making it easier to interpret the relationships between various components and assisting in identifying potential trend changes and breakout opportunities. Traders can use these color cues to quickly assess the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions.
Adjusting Parameters:
The Multi-Band Breakout Indicator offers flexibility through parameter adjustments. Traders can customize the indicator based on their preferences and trading style. The length parameter controls the sensitivity to price changes, with higher values capturing longer-term trends, while lower values focus on shorter-term price movements. By adjusting the parameters, such as the ATR length, multiplier, Donchian length, and MA length, traders can customize the indicator to suit different timeframes and trading strategies. For shorter timeframes, smaller values for these parameters may be more suitable, while longer timeframes may require larger values.
Potential Applications:
The Multi-Band Breakout Indicator can be applied in various trading strategies. It helps identify potential breakout opportunities, allowing traders to enter trades in the direction of the breakout. Traders can use the indicator to initiate trades when the price moves above the upper band or below the lower band, confirming a potential breakout and providing a signal to enter a trade. Additionally, the indicator can be combined with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or trend indicators, to increase the probability of successful trades. By incorporating the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator into their trading approach, traders can gain a better understanding of market trends and capture potential profit opportunities.
Limitations:
While the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator is a useful tool, it has some limitations that traders should consider. The indicator performs best in trending markets where price movements are relatively strong and sustained. During ranging or choppy market conditions, the indicator may generate false signals, leading to potential losses. It is crucial to use the indicator in conjunction with other analysis techniques and risk management strategies to enhance its effectiveness. Additionally, traders should consider external factors such as market news, economic events, and overall market sentiment when interpreting the signals generated by the indicator.
By combining multiple bands and moving averages, this indicator offers valuable insights into the underlying trend and helps traders make informed trading decisions. With customization options and careful interpretation, this indicator can be a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, assisting in identifying potential breakouts, capturing profitable trades, and enhancing overall trading performance.
VWAP Bollinger Band Crossover Breakout with ResistanceCredit to © Jesus_Salvatierra for VWAP script
This script help you find a trend in momentum stock that is about to breakout and shows resistance point. This script utilizes Bollinger bands VWAP and is good for intra day charts.
VWAP, or Volume Weighted Average Price, is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price a security trades at during a given time period, weighted by the trading volume for each price level. It is commonly used by traders and investors to identify the true average price of a security and to assess whether they are buying or selling at a fair price.
A Bollinger Band is a technical analysis tool that uses standard deviation to measure the volatility of a security. The Bollinger Band is typically composed of three lines: the upper band, the lower band, and the middle band. The middle band is a simple moving average of the security's price, while the upper and lower bands are calculated based on the standard deviation of the security's price.
A Bollinger Band crossover occurs when the price of a security crosses above or below one of the bands. When the price crosses above the upper band, it is considered overbought, while when it crosses below the lower band, it is considered oversold. Traders often use Bollinger Band crossovers as a signal to enter or exit a position, depending on their trading strategy.
The VWAP and Bollinger Band crossover are two separate technical analysis tools that can be used in conjunction with each other. When a security's price crosses above or below the Bollinger Band, traders may look to the VWAP to confirm whether the security is trading at a fair price. If the security is trading above the VWAP, it may be overvalued, while if it is trading below the VWAP, it may be undervalued. Similarly, traders may use the Bollinger Band crossover as a signal to enter or exit a position, while also taking into account the VWAP to assess whether the price is fair.
Bollinger Band PW PackageThis script creates a Bollinger Band Package with Bollinger Band Percent and Width displayed on chart. The indicator also prints signals when price closes above or below the Bollinger Bands using shapes (circles by default). Bollinger Bands were created by John Bollinger, and consist of three lines plotted on a chart: the basis line (typically a moving average, 20 sma by default), an upper line (equal to the basis plus a certain number of standard deviations of the price, 2), and a lower line (equal to the basis minus the same number of standard deviations, 2 by default).
The script calculates the Bollinger Bands for a given input parameters by taking the length of the moving average and the number of standard deviations to use for the upper and lower bands. It then calculates the Bollinger Bands using these input parameters.
The script defines two functions: get_bb_percent() and get_bb_width(). The get_bb_percent() function calculates the percentage distance between the closing price and the lower band, as a percentage of the total distance between the upper and lower bands. This value is commonly referred to as the "Bollinger Band Percent". The get_bb_width() function calculates the percentage distance between the upper and lower bands, as a percentage of the basis line. This value is commonly referred to as the "Bollinger Band Width".
The script creates a table at the middle right of the chart, where the Bollinger Band Percent and Width values are displayed. The table is designed with two rows, one for the Bollinger Band Percent value and the other for the Bollinger Band Width value.
The script plots the three Bollinger Bands lines on the chart. The basis line is plotted in blue, the upper band line in red, and the lower band line in green.
The script then plots the shapes that signify closures above and below the bands using plotshape. The shapes and colors are customizable in the settings menu.
This indicator is designed to have all three components and a visual aid to assist Bollinger Band technical analysis in one script which can be helpful in determining potential trading opportunities. We thank John Bollinger for his contribution to technical analysis and trading.

Dual Bollinger Band Mean ReversionSimple but solid mean reversion indicator with sl and tp levels. Most of the code is based on the built in bollinger bands script. Designed for scalping 1-5 minute timeframes.
The indicator consists of two sets of bollinger bands.
Price has to close below the lower (fast) bollinger band, above the moving average of the (slower) bollinger band.
If price now closes above the lower (fast) bb, the indicator draws a label at the open of the next candle (which would be a potential entry point). Take profit becomes the upper bollinger band, stop loss the same distance below the open of the candle.
I've built in a simple backtesting function that calculates the potential win/loss-ratio. Loss and profit levels are 1:1. Exit strategy could be improved on.
Adjusting the lengths depending on the asset proves to be a good idea.
The slower bollinger bands can help to identify ranging markets and/or trends following regular bollinger bands theory.
Feel free to comment with any changes that you'd like to be made.
Percentile Rank of Bollinger BandsThis simple indicator provides you three useful information with Bollinger Bands:
How wide the current width (standard deviation) of the Bollinger Band is.
Compared to the widths in the past, is the current width relatively small or big? Value is expressed in percentile format.
What the "relative position of current price" to the current Bollinger Band is.
This indicator can be useful to identify whether the Bollinger Band has substantially "expanded" or "squeezed."
First, divide the current standard deviation by the current price, we get the current width. The current width is displayed by the columns at the bottom. When the current width becomes wider, the column becomes taller, and the color is dark green. On the contrary, if the width becomes narrower, the column becomes shorter and the color is light green.
Next, compare the current width with the previous N widths, we get the percentile rank for the current width. The percentile rank is shown by the thicker line graph. When the percentile rank grows, it is green; whereas when the rank declines, the color is red.
Lastly, calculate (close - lower)/(upper - lower) and we get an idea of the relative height of the current price, compared to the upper and lower band. This is displayed by the thinner line graph. When the relative position becomes higher, the color is in aqua. It is in blue when the relative position becomes lower. Note that since closing prices can go above the upper band or go below the lower band, the values may be greater than 100 or less than 0.
Quantile Regression Bands [BackQuant]Quantile Regression Bands
Tail-aware trend channeling built from quantiles of real errors, not just standard deviations.
What it does
This indicator fits a simple linear trend over a rolling lookback and then measures how price has actually deviated from that trend during the window. It then places two pairs of bands at user-chosen quantiles of those deviations (inner and outer). Because bands are based on empirical quantiles rather than a symmetric standard deviation, they adapt to skewed and fat-tailed behaviour and often hug price better in trending or asymmetric markets.
Why “quantile” bands instead of Bollinger-style bands?
Bollinger Bands assume a (roughly) symmetric spread around the mean; quantiles don’t—upper and lower bands can sit at different distances if the error distribution is skewed.
Quantiles are robust to outliers; a single shock won’t inflate the bands for many bars.
You can choose tails precisely (e.g., 1%/99% or 5%/95%) to match your risk appetite.
How it works (intuitive)
Center line — a rolling linear regression approximates the local trend.
Residuals — for each bar in the lookback, the indicator looks at the gap between actual price and where the line “expected” price to be.
Quantiles — those gaps are sorted; you select which percentiles become your inner/outer offsets.
Bands — the chosen quantile offsets are added to the current end of the regression line to draw parallel support/resistance rails.
Smoothing — a light EMA can be applied to reduce jitter in the line and bands.
What you see
Center (linear regression) line (optional).
Inner quantile bands (e.g., 25th/75th) with optional translucent fill.
Outer quantile bands (e.g., 1st/99th) with a multi-step gradient to visualise “tail zones.”
Optional bar coloring: bars trend-colored by whether price is rising above or falling below the center line.
Alerts when price crosses the outer bands (upper or lower).
How to read it
Trend & drift — the slope of the center line is your local trend. Persistent closes on the same side of the center line indicate directional drift.
Pullbacks — tags of the inner band often mark routine pullbacks within trend. Reaction back to the center line can be used for continuation entries/partials.
Tails & squeezes — outer-band touches highlight statistically rare excursions for the chosen window. Frequent outer-band activity can signal regime change or volatility expansion.
Asymmetry — if the upper band sits much further from the center than the lower (or vice versa), recent behaviour has been skewed. Trade management can be adjusted accordingly (e.g., wider take-profit upslope than downslope).
A simple trend interpretation can be derived from the bar colouring
Good use-cases
Volatility-aware mean reversion — fade moves into outer bands back toward the center when trend is flat.
Trend participation — buy pullbacks to the inner band above a rising center; flip logic for shorts below a falling center.
Risk framing — set dynamic stops/targets at quantile rails so position sizing respects recent tail behaviour rather than fixed ticks.
Inputs (quick guide)
Source — price input used for the fit (default: close).
Lookback Length — bars in the regression window and residual sample. Longer = smoother, slower bands; shorter = tighter, more reactive.
Inner/Outer Quantiles (τ) — choose your “typical” vs “tail” levels (e.g., 0.25/0.75 inner, 0.01/0.99 outer).
Show toggles — independently toggle center line, inner bands, outer bands, and their fills.
Colors & transparency — customize band and fill appearance; gradient shading highlights the tail zone.
Band Smoothing Length — small EMA on lines to reduce stair-step artefacts without meaningfully changing levels.
Bar Coloring — optional trend tint from the center line’s momentum.
Practical settings
Swing trading — Length 75–150; inner τ = 0.25/0.75, outer τ = 0.05/0.95.
Intraday — Length 50–100 for liquid futures/FX; consider 0.20/0.80 inner and 0.02/0.98 outer in high-vol assets.
Crypto — Because of fat tails, try slightly wider outers (0.01/0.99) and keep smoothing at 2–4 to tame weekend jumps.
Signal ideas
Continuation — in an uptrend, look for pullback into the lower inner band with a close back above the center as a timing cue.
Exhaustion probe — in ranges, first touch of an outer band followed by a rejection candle back inside the inner band often precedes mean-reversion swings.
Regime shift — repeated closes beyond an outer band or a sharp re-tilt in the center line can mark a new trend phase; adjust tactics (stop-following along the opposite inner band).
Alerts included
“Price Crosses Upper Outer Band” — potential overextension or breakout risk.
“Price Crosses Lower Outer Band” — potential capitulation or breakdown risk.
Notes
The fit and quantiles are computed on a fixed rolling window and do not repaint; bands update as the window moves forward.
Quantiles are based on the recent distribution; if conditions change abruptly, expect band widths and skew to adapt over the next few bars.
Parameter choices directly shape behaviour: longer windows favour stability, tighter inner quantiles increase touch frequency, and extreme outer quantiles highlight only the rarest moves.
Final thought
Quantile bands answer a simple question: “How unusual is this move given the current trend and the way price has been missing it lately?” By scoring that question with real, distribution-aware limits rather than one-size-fits-all volatility you get cleaner pullback zones in trends, more honest “extreme” tags in ranges, and a framework for risk that matches the market’s recent personality.

Prime Bands [ChartPrime]The Prime Standard Deviation Bands indicator uses custom-calculated bands based on highest and lowest price values over specific period to analyze price volatility and trend direction. Traders can set the bands to 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations from a central base, providing a dynamic view of price behavior in relation to volatility. The indicator also includes color-coded trend signals, standard deviation labels, and mean reversion signals, offering insights into trend strength and potential reversal points.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Standard Deviation Bands :
The indicator plots upper and lower bands based on standard deviation settings (1, 2, or 3 SDs) from a central base, allowing traders to visualize volatility and price extremes. These bands can be used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals.
Example of 3-standard-deviation bands around price:
⯌ Dynamic Trend Indicator :
The midline of the bands changes color based on trend direction. If the midline is rising, it turns green, indicating an uptrend. When the midline is falling, it turns orange, suggesting a downtrend. This color coding provides a quick visual reference to the current trend.
Trend color examples for rising and falling midlines:
⯌ Standard Deviation Labels :
At the end of the bands, the indicator displays labels with price levels for each standard deviation level (+3, 0, -3, etc.), helping traders quickly reference where price is relative to its statistical boundaries.
Price labels at each standard deviation level on the chart:
⯌ Mean Reversion Signals :
When price moves beyond the upper or lower bands and then reverts back inside, the indicator plots mean reversion signals with diamond icons. These signals indicate potential reversal points where the price may return to the mean after extreme moves.
Example of mean reversion signals near bands:
⯌ Standard Deviation Scale on Chart :
A visual scale on the right side of the chart shows the current price position in relation to the bands, expressed in standard deviations. This scale provides an at-a-glance view of how far price has deviated from the mean, helping traders assess risk and volatility.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Sets the number of bars used in the calculation of the bands.
Standard Deviation Level : Allows selection of 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations for upper and lower bands.
Colors : Customize colors for the uptrend and downtrend midline indicators.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Prime Standard Deviation Bands indicator provides a comprehensive view of price volatility and trend direction. Its customizable bands, trend coloring, and mean reversion signals allow traders to effectively gauge price behavior, identify extreme conditions, and make informed trading decisions based on statistical boundaries.
Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands StrategyThis strategy combines Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci retracement/extension levels to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. Here’s a breakdown of each component and how the strategy works:
1. Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands consist of a simple moving average (SMA) and two standard deviations (upper and lower bands) plotted above and below the SMA. The bands expand and contract based on market volatility.
Purpose in Strategy:
The lower band represents an area where the market might be oversold.
The upper band represents an area where the market might be overbought.
The price crossing these bands suggests overextended market conditions, which can be used to identify potential reversals.
2. Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Levels:
Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate where price might find support or resistance as it retraces some of its previous movement. Common retracement levels are 61.8% and 78.6%.
Fibonacci extension levels are used to project areas where the price might extend after completing a retracement. These levels can help determine potential targets after a significant price movement.
Purpose in Strategy:
The strategy calculates the most recent swing high (fibHigh) and swing low (fibLow) over a lookback period. It then plots Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on this range.
The Fibonacci levels are used as key support and resistance areas. The price approaching or touching these levels signals potential turning points in the market.
3. Entry Criteria:
A long position (buy) is triggered when:
The price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating an oversold condition.
The price is near or above a Fibonacci extension level (calculated based on the most recent price swing).
This suggests that the price is potentially reaching a strong support area, where a reversal is likely.
4. Exit Criteria:
The long position is closed (exit trade) when either:
The price touches or crosses the upper Bollinger Band, signaling an overbought condition.
The price reaches a Fibonacci retracement level or exceeds the recent swing high (fibHigh), indicating a potential exhaustion point or a reversal area.
5. General Strategy Logic:
The strategy takes advantage of market volatility (captured by the Bollinger Bands) and key support/resistance levels (determined by Fibonacci retracement and extension levels).
By combining these two techniques, the strategy identifies potential entry points at oversold levels with the expectation that the market will retrace or reverse upward, especially when near key Fibonacci extension levels.
Exit points are identified by potential overbought levels (Bollinger upper band) or key Fibonacci retracement levels, where the price might reverse downward.
6. Conditions to Execute the Strategy:
The Fibonacci levels are only calculated once the price has made a significant movement, establishing a recent high and low over a 50-bar period (which you can adjust). This ensures the Fibonacci levels are based on meaningful swings.
The entry and exit signals are filtered using both Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci levels to ensure that trades are not taken solely based on one indicator, thus reducing false signals.
Key Features of the Strategy:
Trend-following with reversal: It tries to catch reversals when the price hits extreme levels (Bollinger Bands) while respecting important Fibonacci levels.
Dynamic market adaptation: The strategy adapts to market conditions as it recalculates Fibonacci levels based on recent price swings and adjusts the Bollinger Bands for market volatility.
Confirmation through multiple indicators: It uses both the volatility-based signals from Bollinger Bands and the price structure from Fibonacci levels to confirm trade entries and exits.
Summary of the Strategy:
The strategy looks to buy low and sell high based on oversold/overbought signals from Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci levels that indicate key support and resistance zones.
By combining these two technical indicators, the strategy aims to reduce risk and increase accuracy by only entering trades when both indicators suggest favorable conditions.
Heikin-Ashi Band Proximity IndicatorHeikin-Ashi Band Proximity Indicator
Overview:
The Heikin-Ashi Band Proximity Indicator is a an analytical tool engineered to pinpoint critical price junctures where the Heikin-Ashi closing values align with the upper and lower thresholds of the Dynamic Adaptive Regression Bands . This indicator delineates these intersections through distinct green and red lines plotted over the last 100 candles, demarcating prospective support and resistance zones.
Purpose:
This indicator helps traders identify potential buy and sell zones based on proximity to dynamically calculated bands using Heikin-Ashi smoothed prices combined with linear regression and standard deviation calculations.
How It Works:
- Heikin-Ashi Transformation: Smooths price data to help isolate trends and reversals, reducing market noise and highlighting clearer trends.
- Regression Bands: Calculates the central regression line and deviations to form adaptive bands that act as dynamic levels of support and resistance.
- Color-Coded Indications: Green lines typically denote zones where prices may receive upward support, enhancing the likelihood of a price increase, while red lines suggest probable resistance zones where price pullbacks or stagnation are anticipated.
Trading Potential Application:
- Buy Signal: When the Heikin-Ashi close approaches the lower green band, it might indicate a potential upward reversal.
- Sell Signal: Conversely, proximity to the upper red band may suggest a downward reversal.
- Market Behavior: When prices diverge from these bands without surpassing them, they frequently revert to these levels, indicating that the bands serve as persistent attractors of price, exerting a gravitational pull over extended periods. This behavior underscores the bands' role in stabilizing price movements by establishing persistent points of reversion within the market's volatility landscape.
Calculation Details:
- ha_close is computed as the average of the open, high, low, and close, which smoothens the price series.
- Regression lines and deviations are calculated to create bands that adapt to recent price actions, providing dynamic support and resistance levels.
Usage:
Useful for traders looking for an indicator to enhance their decision-making by identifying potential entry and exit points based on price stability and volatility. The clear, color-coded system aids in quick decision-making under various market conditions.
Conclusion:
The Heikin-Ashi Band Proximity Indicator is invaluable for traders aiming to capitalize on price movements near critical levels. Its methodology provides a unique approach to understanding market dynamics and enhancing trading strategies.
Donchian MA Bands [LuxAlgo]The Donchian MA Bands script is a complete trend indicator derived from the popular Donchian channel indicator as well as various customizable moving averages to estimate trend direction and build support/resistance levels & zones.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator outputs various elements, the main ones being a lower dynamic zone (blue by default), an upper dynamic zone (in orange by default), and one support and resistance level/zones (red/green by default).
A prominent lower zone is indicative of an uptrend, while a prominent upper zone is indicative of a downtrend. These zones can be used as support/resistance as well.
Support/resistance zones and levels can be used using a breakout methodology or to determine price bounced if a level was tested multiple times.
The indicator contains various modes affecting the output of the indicator, described below.
🔹 Clouds
Clouds return one upper/lower dynamic zone and look/act similarly to a trailing stop. Price over the lower zone is indicative of an uptrend, and price under the upper zone is indicative of a downtrend.
🔹 Upper Band
The upper band mode returns a dynamic zone closer to prices during an uptrend, and farther away during a downtrend.
This band can act as a support during uptrends.
🔹 Lower Band
The lower band mode returns a dynamic zone closer to prices during an uptrend, and farther away during a downtrend.
This band can act as a resistance during downtrends.
🔹 Bands
Bands return both upper and lower zones, the zones are more apparent depending on the price trend direction, with uptrends being indicated by a more visible lower zone, and downtrends being indicated by a more visible upper zone.
Breakout dots are highlighted when price breakout the indicator displayed extremities, and can be indicative of a confirmed trend reversal.
These breakouts can be more effective for trend following during trending markets. Ranging markets might return breakouts highlighting the top/bottom.
🔶 DETAILS
The core of this script is the highest / lowest mean average (MA) value for a given number of bars back ( Donchian lines).
This is repeated a few times with the obtained values.
When Bands are chosen ( Style ) this will be repeated 1 more time.
The type of mean average can be customized ( Type MA ), as well as the number of bars back ( Length ).
Depending on the choice of bands ( Style ) the script will focus on certain area's of interest.
When the option Clouds , Upper band or Lower band is chosen, an extra feature, support/resistance (S/R), will be shown.
These color-filled areas are visible when there is a difference between the 2nd and 3rd highest/lowest values.
The lines/areas can be used for stop loss, entry, exit,...
You can set the type of MA and Length separately ( Settings -> S/R ).
If you don't need this feature, simply set Type ( Settings -> S/R ) -> NONE
The shape sometimes resembles triangles, indicating a potential direction
Default the average of the highest and lowest values is plotted (Style -> Mid Donchian)
This can act as potential support/resistance or visualization of the trend, the mean average is not plotted but can be (Style -> MA)
🔹 Note
When the option Bands is chosen, an indication is plotted when the closing price breaks above the highest band or breaks below the lower band. This isn't necessarily a buy/sell signal, it is merely a signal that these lines are broken.
Users should decide on their own how they use the bands/lines/areas as entry, exit, trailing stop, stop loss, profit taking,...
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Bands
Style: Clouds (default), Upper band, Lower band, Bands
Type MA: choose between SMA, EMA, RMA, HullMA, WMA, VWMA (default), DEMA, TEMA, NONE (off)
Length: Length of moving average and Donchian calculations (default 20)
Colour Bands
🔹 S/R (Support/Resistance, visible with Clouds, Upper band or Lower band)
Type MA: choose between SMA, EMA, RMA, HullMA, WMA, VWMA (default), DEMA, TEMA, NONE (off)
Length: Length of moving average and Donchian calculations (default 20)

Extended Recursive Bands StrategyThe original indicator was created by alexgrover .
All credit goes to alexgrover for creating the indicator that this strategy uses.
This strategy was posted because there were multiple requests for it, and no strategy based on this indicator exists yet.
The Recursive Bands Indicator, an indicator specially created to be extremely efficient, I think you already know that calculation time is extra important in algorithmic trading, and this is the principal motivation for the creation of the proposed indicator. Originally described in Alex's paper "Pierrefeu, Alex (2019): Recursive Bands - A New Indicator For Technical Analysis", the indicator framework has been widely used in his previous uploaded indicators, however it would have been a shame to not upload it, however user experience being a major concern for me, I decided to add extra options, which explain the term "extended".
The Indicator
The indicator displays one upper and one lower band, every common usages applied to bands indicators such as support/resistance , breakout, trailing stop, etc, can also be applied to this one. Length controls how reactive the bands are, higher values will make the bands cross the price less often.
In order to provide more flexibility for the user alexgrover added the option to use various methods for the calculation of the indicator, therefore the indicator can use the average true range , standard deviation, average high-low range, and one totally exclusive method specially designed for this indicator.
Added logic:
We have implemented a logic that checks whether the bands have been following in the same direction for a set amount of bars. This logic must be true before it can enter trades. This is completely new code that was written by us entirely, and it makes a huge difference on strategy performance.
Strategy Long conditions:
1 — Price low is below the the lower band.
2 — The lower band keeps increasing in value until the 'lookback' setting amount of bars is reached.
Strategy Short conditions:
1 — Price high is above the upper band.
2 — The upper band keeps decreasing in value until the 'lookback' setting amount of bars is reached.
Strategy Properties:
We have set a default commission of 0.06% because these are Bybit's fees. The strategy uses an order size of 10% of equity, since drawdown is very low like this. We also use a 10 tick slippage to keep results realistic and account for this. All other settings were left as default apart from initial capital, just to decrease the size of the numbers.
Bitcoin Power Law Bands (BTC Power Law) Indicator█ OVERVIEW
The 'Bitcoin Power Law Bands' indicator is a set of three US dollar price trendlines and two price bands for bitcoin , indicating overall long-term trend, support and resistance levels as well as oversold and overbought conditions. The magnitude and growth of the middle (Center) line is determined by double logarithmic (log-log) regression on the entire USD price history of bitcoin . The upper (Resistance) and lower (Support) lines follow the same trajectory but multiplied by respective (fixed) factors. These two lines indicate levels where the price of bitcoin is expected to meet strong long-term resistance or receive strong long-term support. The two bands between the three lines are price levels where bitcoin may be considered overbought or oversold.
All parameters and visuals may be customized by the user as needed.
█ CONCEPTS
Long-term models
Long-term price models have many challenges, the most significant of which is getting the growth curve right overall. No one can predict how a certain market, asset class, or financial instrument will unfold over several decades. In the case of bitcoin , price history is very limited and extremely volatile, and this further complicates the situation. Fortunately for us, a few smart people already had some bright ideas that seem to have stood the test of time.
Power law
The so-called power law is the only long-term bitcoin price model that has a chance of survival for the years ahead. The idea behind the power law is very simple: over time, the rapid (exponential) initial growth cannot possibly be sustained (see The seduction of the exponential curve for a fun take on this). Year-on-year returns, therefore, must decrease over time, which leads us to the concept of diminishing returns and the power law. In this context, the power law translates to linear growth on a chart with both its axes scaled logarithmically. This is called the log-log chart (as opposed to the semilog chart you see above, on which only one of the axes - price - is logarithmic).
Log-log regression
When both price and time are scaled logarithmically, the power law leads to a linear relationship between them. This in turn allows us to apply linear regression techniques, which will find the best-fitting straight line to the data points in question. The result of performing this log-log regression (i.e. linear regression on a log-log scaled dataset) is two parameters: slope (m) and intercept (b). These parameters fully describe the relationship between price and time as follows: log(P) = m * log(T) + b, where P is price and T is time. Price is measured in US dollars , and Time is counted as the number of days elapsed since bitcoin 's genesis block.
DPC model
The final piece of our puzzle is the Dynamic Power Cycle (DPC) price model of bitcoin . DPC is a long-term cyclic model that uses the power law as its foundation, to which a periodic component stemming from the block subsidy halving cycle is applied dynamically. The regression parameters of this model are re-calculated daily to ensure longevity. For the 'Bitcoin Power Law Bands' indicator, the slope and intercept parameters were calculated on publication date (March 6, 2022). The slope of the Resistance Line is the same as that of the Center Line; its intercept was determined by fitting the line onto the Nov 2021 cycle peak. The slope of the Support Line is the same as that of the Center Line; its intercept was determined by fitting the line onto the Dec 2018 trough of the previous cycle. Please see the Limitations section below on the implications of a static model.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• Parameters
• Center Intercept (b) and Slope (m): These log-log regression parameters control the behavior of the grey line in the middle
• Resistance Intercept (b) and Slope (m): These log-log regression parameters control the behavior of the red line at the top
• Support Intercept (b) and Slope (m): These log-log regression parameters control the behavior of the green line at the bottom
• Controls
• Plot Line Fill: N/A
• Plot Opportunity Label: Controls the display of current price level relative to the Center, Resistance and Support Lines
Style
• Visuals
• Center: Control, color, opacity, thickness, price line control and line style of the Center Line
• Resistance: Control, color, opacity, thickness, price line control and line style of the Resistance Line
• Support: Control, color, opacity, thickness, price line control and line style of the Support Line
• Plots Background: Control, color and opacity of the Upper Band
• Plots Background: Control, color and opacity of the Lower Band
• Labels: N/A
• Output
• Labels on price scale: Controls the display of current Center, Resistance and Support Line values on the price scale
• Values in status line: Controls the display of current Center, Resistance and Support Line values in the indicator's status line
█ HOW TO USE
The indicator includes three price lines:
• The grey Center Line in the middle shows the overall long-term bitcoin USD price trend
• The red Resistance Line at the top is an indication of where the bitcoin USD price is expected to meet strong long-term resistance
• The green Support Line at the bottom is an indication of where the bitcoin USD price is expected to receive strong long-term support
These lines envelope two price bands:
• The red Upper Band between the Center and Resistance Lines is an area where bitcoin is considered overbought (i.e. too expensive)
• The green Lower Band between the Support and Center Lines is an area where bitcoin is considered oversold (i.e. too cheap)
The power law model assumes that the price of bitcoin will fluctuate around the Center Line, by meeting resistance at the Resistance Line and finding support at the Support Line. When the current price is well below the Center Line (i.e. well into the green Lower Band), bitcoin is considered too cheap (oversold). When the current price is well above the Center Line (i.e. well into the red Upper Band), bitcoin is considered too expensive (overbought). This idea alone is not sufficient for profitable trading, but, when combined with other factors, it could guide the user's decision-making process in the right direction.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is based on a static model, and for this reason it will gradually lose its usefulness. The Center Line is the most durable of the three lines since the long-term growth trend of bitcoin seems to deviate little from the power law. However, how far price extends above and below this line will change with every halving cycle (as can be seen for past cycles). Periodic updates will be needed to keep the indicator relevant. The user is invited to adjust the slope and intercept parameters manually between two updates of the indicator.
█ RAMBLINGS
The 'Bitcoin Power Law Bands' indicator is a useful tool for users wishing to place bitcoin in a macro context. As described above, the price level relative to the three lines is a rough indication of whether bitcoin is over- or undervalued. Users wishing to gain more insight into bitcoin price trends may follow the author's periodic updates of the DPC model (contact information below).

Logarithmic Bollinger Bands with Secondary BandThe Logarithmic Bollinger Bands indicator is a variation of standard Bollinger Bands that applies the calculation on a logarithmic scale rather than directly on price values. This approach is particularly useful in markets where assets experience exponential growth or large percentage-based moves, as it allows the bands to adapt proportionally instead of being distorted by absolute price changes. The indicator calculates a moving average of the log-transformed price (the basis), then adds and subtracts multiples of the standard deviation of the log price to form the upper and lower bands. Finally, the results are converted back to normal price scale for plotting. In addition to the primary bands set at 2.0 standard deviations, this version includes a secondary band set at 0.5 standard deviations, offering a closer inner envelope around the mean.
To use this indicator
Traders can observe how price interacts with both the inner and outer bands. The outer 2.0 standard deviation bands represent traditional Bollinger-style boundaries, highlighting potential overbought or oversold conditions when price pushes beyond them.
The inner 0.5 bands provide an earlier signal of price compression and breakout potential, as moves outside these tighter bands often precede larger volatility expansions.
Together, these dual layers give traders a way to monitor both short-term fluctuations and broader trend extremes, making it easier to spot opportunities for entries, exits, or risk management in markets where percentage-based scaling is more meaningful than raw price levels.

Momentum BandsMomentum Bands indicator-->technical tool that measures the rate of price change and surrounds this momentum with adaptive bands to highlight overbought and oversold zones. Unlike Bollinger Bands, which track price, these bands track momentum itself, offering a unique view of market strength and exhaustion points. At its core, it features a blue momentum line that calculates the rate of change over a set period, an upper red band marking dynamic resistance created by adding standard deviations to the momentum average, a lower green band marking dynamic support by subtracting standard deviations, and a gray middle line representing the average of momentum as a central anchor. When the momentum line touches or moves beyond the upper red band, it often signals that the market may be overbought and a pullback or reversal could follow; traders might lock in profits or watch for short setups. Conversely, when it drops below the lower green band, it can suggest an oversold market primed for a bounce, prompting traders to look for buying opportunities. If momentum remains between the bands, it typically indicates balanced conditions where waiting for stronger signals at the extremes is wise. The indicator can be used in contrarian strategies—buying near the lower band and selling near the upper—or in trend-following setups by waiting for momentum to return toward the centerline before entering trades. For stronger confirmation, traders often combine it with volume spikes, support and resistance analysis, or other trend tools, and it’s useful to check multiple timeframes to spot consistent patterns. Recommended settings vary: short-term traders might use a 7–10 period momentum with 14-period bands; medium-term traders might keep the default 14-period momentum and 20-period bands; while long-term analysis might use 21-period momentum and 50-period bands. Visually, background colors help spot extremes: red for strong overbought, green for strong oversold, and no color for normal markets, alongside reference lines at 70, 30, and 0 to guide traditional overbought, oversold, and neutral zones. Typical bullish signals include momentum rebounding from the lower band, crossing back above the middle after being oversold, or showing divergence where price makes new lows but momentum doesn’t. Bearish signals might appear when momentum hits the upper band and weakens, drops below the middle after being overbought, or price makes new highs while momentum fails to follow. The indicator tends to work best in mean-reverting or sideways markets rather than strong trends, where overbought and oversold conditions tend to repeat.
Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands (ETH & RTH)A Pine Script indicator designed to plot a midpoint line based on the high and low prices of a user-defined trading session (typically Extended Trading Hours, ETH) and to add dynamic standard deviation (StdDev) bands around this midpoint.
Session Midpoint Line:
The midpoint is calculated as the average of the session's highest high and lowest low during the defined ETH period (e.g., 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
This line represents a central tendency or "fair value" for the session, similar to a pivot point or volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchor.
Interpretation:
Prices above the midpoint suggest bullish sentiment, while prices below indicate bearish sentiment.
The midpoint can act as a dynamic support/resistance level, where price may revert to or react at this level during the session.
Dynamic StdDev Bands:
The bands are calculated by adding/subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation of the midpoint values (tracked in an array) from the midpoint.
The standard deviation is dynamically computed based on the historical midpoint values within the session, making the bands adaptive to volatility.
Interpretation:
The upper and lower bands represent potential overbought (upper) and oversold (lower) zones.
Prices approaching or crossing the bands may indicate stretched conditions, potentially signaling reversals or breakouts.
Trend Identification:
Use the midpoint as a reference for the session’s trend. Persistent price action above the midpoint suggests bullishness, while below indicates bearishness.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm trend direction.
Support/Resistance Trading:
Treat the midpoint as a dynamic pivot point. Price rejections or consolidations near the midpoint can be entry points for mean-reversion trades.
The StdDev bands can act as secondary support/resistance levels. For example, price reaching the upper band may signal a potential short entry if accompanied by reversal signals.
Breakout/Breakdown Strategies:
A strong move beyond the upper or lower band may indicate a breakout (bullish above upper, bearish below lower). Confirm with volume or momentum indicators to avoid false breakouts.
The dynamic nature of the bands makes them useful for identifying significant price extensions.
Volatility Assessment:
Wider bands indicate higher volatility, suggesting larger price swings and potentially riskier trades.
Narrow bands suggest consolidation, which may precede a breakout. Traders can prepare for volatility expansions in such scenarios.
The "Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands" is a versatile and visually intuitive indicator well-suited for day traders focusing on session-specific price action. Its dynamic midpoint and volatility-adjusted bands provide valuable insights into support, resistance, and potential reversals or breakouts.
HiLo EMA Custom bandsHILo Ema custom bands
This advanced technical indicator is a powerful variation of "HiLo Ema squeeze bands" that combines the best elements of Donchian channels and EMAs. It's specially designed to identify price squeezes before significant market moves while providing dynamic support/resistance levels and predictive price targets.
Indicator Concept:
The indicator initializes EMAs at each new high or low - the upper EMA tracks highs while the lower EMA tracks lows. It draws maximum of 6 custom bands based on percentage, fixed value or Atr
Upper EM bands are drawn below uper ema, Lower EMA bands are drawn above lower ema
Customizable Options:
Ema length: 200 default
Calculation type: Ema (Default), HILO
Calculation type: Percent,Fixed Value, ATR
Band Value: Percent/Value/ATR multiple This is value to use for calculation type
Band Selection: Both,Upper,Lower
Key Features:
You can choose to draw either of one or both, the latter can be overwhelming initially but as you get used to it, it becomes a powerful tool.
When both bands are selected, upper and lower bands provide provides dual references and intersections
This creates a more trend-responsive alternative to traditional Donchian channels with clearly defined zones for trade planning.
If you select percaentage, note that the calulation is based FROM the respective EMA bands. So bands from lower EMA band will appear narrower compared to the those drawn from upper EMA band
Price targets or reversals:
Look of alignment of lines and price. The current level of one order could align with that of previous level of a different order because often markets move in steps
Settings Guide:
Recommended Settings:
Ema length: 200
Use one of the bands (not both) if using large length of say 1000
Calculation type: EMA
HILO will draw donchian like bands, this is useful if you only want flat price levels. In a rising market use upper and vise versa
Calculation type:
percentage for indices : 5, for symbols 10 or higher based on symbol volatility
Fixed value: about 10% of symbol value converted to value
Atr: 2 ideally
Perfect for swing traders and position traders looking for a more sophisticated volatility-based overlay that adapts to changing market conditions and provides predictive reversal levels.
Note: This indicator works well across multiple timeframes but is especially effective on H4, Daily and Weekly charts for trend trading.

ONE RING 8 MA Bands with RaysCycle analysis tool ...
MAs: Eight moving averages (MA1–MA8) with customizable lengths, types (RMA, WMA, EMA, SMA), and offsets
Bands: Upper/lower bands for each MA, calculated based on final_pctX (Percentage mode) or final_ptsX (Points mode), scaled by multiplier
Rays: Forward-projected lines for bands, with customizable start points, styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and lengths (up to 500 bars)
Band Choices
Manual: Uses individual inputs for band offsets
Uniform: Sets all offsets to base_pct (e.g., 0.1%) or base_pts (e.g., 0.1 points)
Linear: Scales linearly (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 2, base_pct * 3 ..., base_pct * 8)
Exponential: Scales exponentially (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 2, base_pct * 4, base_pct * 8 ..., base_pct * 128)
ATR-Based: Offsets are derived from the Average True Range (ATR), scaled by a linear factor. Dynamic bands that adapt to market conditions, useful for breakout or mean-reversion strategies. (final_pct1 = base_pct * atr, final_pct2 = base_pct * atr * 2, ..., final_pct8 = base_pct * atr * 8)
Geometric: Offsets follow a geometric progression (e.g., base_pct * r^0, base_pct * r^1, base_pct * r^2, ..., where r is a ratio like 1.5) This is less aggressive than Exponential (which uses powers of 2) and provides a smoother progression.
Example: If base_pct = 0.1, r = 1.5, then final_pct1 = 0.1%, final_pct2 = 0.15%, final_pct3 = 0.225%, ..., final_pct8 ≈ 1.71%
Harmonic: Offsets are based on harmonic flavored ratios. final_pctX = base_pct * X / (9 - X), final_ptsX = base_pts * X / (9 - X) for X = 1 to 8 This creates a harmonic-like progression where offsets increase non-linearly, ensuring MA8 bands are wider than MA1 bands, and avoids duplicating the Linear choice above.
Ex. offsets for base_pct = 0.1: MA1: ±0.0125% (0.1 * 1/8), MA2: ±0.0286% (0.1 * 2/7), MA3: ±0.05% (0.1 * 3/6), MA4: ±0.08% (0.1 * 4/5), MA5: ±0.125% (0.1 * 5/4), MA6: ±0.2% (0.1 * 6/3), MA7: ±0.35% (0.1 * 7/2), MA8: ±0.8% (0.1 * 8/1)
Square Root: Offsets grow with the square root of the band index (e.g., base_pct * sqrt(1), base_pct * sqrt(2), ..., base_pct * sqrt(8)). This creates a gradual widening, less aggressive than Linear or Exponential. Set final_pct1 = base_pct * sqrt(1), final_pct2 = base_pct * sqrt(2), ..., final_pct8 = base_pct * sqrt(8).
Example: If base_pct = 0.1, then final_pct1 = 0.1%, final_pct2 ≈ 0.141%, final_pct3 ≈ 0.173%, ..., final_pct8 ≈ 0.283%.
Fibonacci: Uses Fibonacci ratios (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 1.618, base_pct * 2.618
Percentage vs. Points Toggle:
In Percentage mode, bands are calculated as ma * (1 ± (final_pct / 100) * multiplier)
In Points mode, bands are calculated as ma ± final_pts * multiplier, where final_pts is in price units.
Threshold Setting for Slope:
Threshold setting for determining when the slope would be significant enough to call it a change in direction. Can check efficiency by setting MA1 to color on slope temporarily
Arrow table: Shows slope direction of 8 MAs using an Up or Down triangle, or shows Flat condition if no triangle.
MACD & Bollinger Bands Overbought OversoldMACD & Bollinger Bands Reversal Detector
This indicator combines the power of MACD divergence analysis with Bollinger Bands to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
Key Features:
MACD Calculation & Divergence:
The script calculates the standard MACD components (MACD line, Signal line, and Histogram) using configurable fast, slow, and signal lengths. It includes a simplified divergence detection mechanism that flags potential bearish divergence—when the price makes a new swing high but the MACD fails to confirm the move. This divergence can serve as an early warning that the bullish momentum is waning.
Bollinger Bands:
A 20-period simple moving average (SMA) is used as the basis, with upper and lower bands drawn at 2 standard deviations. These bands help visualize overbought and oversold conditions. For example, a close at or above the upper band suggests the market may be overextended (overbought), while a close at or below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions.
Visual Alerts:
The indicator plots the Bollinger Bands on the chart along with labels marking overbought and oversold conditions. Additionally, it marks potential bearish divergence with a downward triangle, providing a quick visual cue to traders.
Usage Suggestions:
Confluence with Other Signals:
Use the divergence signals and Bollinger Band conditions as filters. For example, even if another indicator suggests a long entry, you might avoid it if the price is overbought or if MACD divergence warns of weakening momentum.
Customization:
All key parameters, such as the MACD lengths, Bollinger Band period, and multiplier, are fully configurable. This flexibility allows you to adjust the indicator to suit different markets or trading styles.

Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands with Waldo Cloud
TradingView Indicator Description: Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands with Waldo Cloud
Title: Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands with Waldo Cloud
Short Title: Dynamic RSI BB Waldo
Overview:
Introducing an experimental indicator, the Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands with Waldo Cloud, designed for adventurous traders looking to explore new dimensions in technical analysis. This indicator overlays on your chart, providing a unique perspective by integrating the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with Bollinger Bands, creating a dynamic trading tool that adapts to market conditions through the lens of momentum and volatility.
What is it?
This innovative indicator combines the traditional Bollinger Bands with the RSI in a way that hasn't been commonly explored. Here's a breakdown:
RSI Integration: The RSI is calculated with customizable length settings, and its values are used not just for momentum analysis but as the basis for the Bollinger Bands. This means the position and width of the bands are directly influenced by the RSI, offering a visual representation of momentum within the context of price volatility.
Dynamic Bollinger Bands: Instead of using price directly, the Bollinger Bands are calculated using a scaled version of the RSI. This scaling is done to fit the RSI values into the price range, ensuring the bands are relevant to the actual price movement. The standard deviation for these bands is also scaled accordingly, providing a unique volatility measure that's momentum-driven.
Waldo Cloud: Named after a visual representation concept, the 'Waldo Cloud' refers to the colored area between the Bollinger Bands, which changes based on various conditions:
Purple when RSI is overbought.
Blue when RSI is oversold.
Green for bullish conditions, defined by the fast-moving average crossing above the slow one, RSI is bullish, and the price is above the slow MA.
Red for bearish conditions, when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA, the RSI is bearish, and the price is below the slow MA.
Gray for neutral market conditions.
Moving Averages: Two simple moving averages (Fast MA and Slow MA) are included, which can be toggled on or off, offering additional trend analysis through crossovers.
How to Use It:
Given its experimental nature, this indicator should be used with caution and in conjunction with other analysis methods:
Identifying Market Conditions: Use the color of the Waldo Cloud to gauge market sentiment. A green cloud might suggest a good time to consider long positions, while a red cloud could indicate potential shorting opportunities. Purple and blue clouds highlight extreme conditions that might precede reversals.
Volatility and Momentum: The dynamic nature of the Bollinger Bands based on RSI provides insight into how momentum is affecting price volatility. When the bands are wide, it might indicate high momentum and potential trend continuation or reversal, depending on the RSI's position relative to its overbought/oversold levels.
Trend Confirmation: The moving average crossovers can act as confirmation signals. For instance, a bullish crossover (fast MA over slow MA) within a green cloud might strengthen a buy signal, whereas a bearish crossover in a red cloud might reinforce a sell decision.
Customization: Adjust the RSI length, overbought/oversold levels, and moving average lengths to suit different trading styles or market conditions. Experiment with these settings to find what works best for your strategy.
Combining with Other Indicators: Since this is an experimental tool, it's advisable to use it alongside established indicators like traditional Bollinger Bands, MACD, or trend lines to validate signals.
Conclusion:
The Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands with Waldo Cloud is an experimental venture into combining momentum with volatility visually and interactively. It's designed for traders who are open to exploring new methods of market analysis.
Remember, due to its experimental status, this indicator should be part of a broader trading strategy, and backtesting or paper trading is recommended before applying it in live trading scenarios. Keep an eye on how the market reacts to the signals provided by this indicator and always consider risk management practices.
