Hazel nut BB Strategy, volume base- lite versionHazel nut BB Strategy, volume base — lite version
Having knowledge and information in financial markets is only useful when a trader operates with a well-defined trading strategy. Trading strategies assist in capital management, profit-taking, and reducing potential losses.
This strategy is built upon the core principle of supply and demand dynamics. Alongside this foundation, one of the widely used technical tools — the Bollinger Bands — is employed to structure a framework for profit management and risk control.
In this strategy, the interaction of these tools is explained in detail. A key point to note is that for calculating buy and sell volumes, a lower timeframe function is used. When applied with a tick-level resolution, this provides the most precise measurement of buyer/seller flows. However, this comes with a limitation of reduced historical depth. Users should be aware of this trade-off: if precise tick-level data is required, shorter timeframes should be considered to extend historical coverage .
The strategy offers multiple configuration options. Nevertheless, it should be treated strictly as a supportive tool rather than a standalone trading system. Decisions must integrate personal analysis and other instruments. For example, in highly volatile assets with narrow ranges, it is recommended to adjust profit-taking and stop-loss percentages to smaller values.
◉ Volume Settings
• Buyer and seller volume (up/down volume) are requested from a lower timeframe, with an option to override the automatic resolution.
• A global lookback period is applied to calculate moving averages and cumulative sums of buy/sell/delta volumes.
• Ratios of buyers/sellers to total volume are derived both on the current bar and across the lookback window.
◉ Bollinger Band
• Bands are computed using configurable moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA).
• Inputs allow control of length, standard deviation multiplier, and offset.
• The basis, upper, and lower bands are plotted, with a shaded background between them.
◉ Progress & Proximity
• Relative position of the price to the Bollinger basis is expressed as percentages (qPlus/qMinus).
• “Near band” conditions are triggered when price progress toward the upper or lower band exceeds a user-defined threshold (%).
• A signed score (sScore) represents how far the close has moved above or below the basis relative to band width.
◉ Info Table
• Optional compact table summarizing:
• - Upper/lower band margins
• - Buyer/seller volumes with moving averages
• - Delta and cumulative delta
• - Buyer/seller ratios per bar and across the window
• - Money flow values (buy/sell/delta × price) for bar-level and summed periods
• The table is neutral-colored and resizable for different chart layouts.
◉ Zone Event Gate
• Tracks entry into and exit from “near band” zones.
• Arming logic: a side is armed when price enters a band proximity zone.
• Trigger logic: on exit, a trade event is generated if cumulative buyer or seller volume dominates over a configurable window.
◉ Trading Logic
• Orders are placed only on zone-exit events, conditional on volume dominance.
• Position sizing is defined as a fixed percentage of strategy equity.
• Long entries occur when leaving the lower zone with buyer dominance; short entries occur when leaving the upper zone with seller dominance.
◉ Exit Rules
• Open positions are managed by a strict priority sequence:
• 1. Stop-loss (% of entry price)
• 2. Take-profit (% of entry price)
• 3. Opposite-side event (zone exit with dominance in the other direction)
• Stop-loss and take-profit levels are configurable
◉ Notes
• This lite version is intended to demonstrate the interaction of Bollinger Bands and volume-based dominance logic.
• It provides a framework to observe how price reacts at band boundaries under varying buy/sell pressure, and how zone exits can be systematically converted into entry/exit signals.
When configuring this strategy, it is essential to carefully review the settings within the Strategy Tester. Ensure that the chosen parameters and historical data options are correctly aligned with the intended use. Accurate back testing depends on applying proper configurations for historical reference. The figure below illustrates sample result and configuration type.

Multi-Timeframe Bollinger BandsMy hope is to optimize the settings for this indicator and reintroduce it as a "strategy" with suggested position entry and exit points shown in the price pane.
I’ve been having good results setting the “Bollinger Band MA Length” in the Input tab to between 5 and 10. You can use the standard 20 period, but your results will not be as granular.
This indicator has proven very good at finding local tops and bottoms by combining data from multiple timeframes. Use timeframes that are lower than the timeframe you are viewing in your price pane. Be cognizant that the indicator, like other oscillators, does occasionally produce divergences at tops and bottoms.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Overview
This indicator is an oscillator that measures the normalized position of the price relative to Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes. It takes the price's position within the Bollinger Bands (calculated on different timeframes) and averages those positions to create a single value that oscillates between 0 and 1. This value is then plotted as the oscillator, with reference lines and colored regions to help interpret the price's relative strength or weakness.
How It Works
Bollinger Band Calculation:
The indicator uses a custom function f_getBBPosition() to calculate the position of the price within Bollinger Bands for a given timeframe.
Price Position Normalization:
For each timeframe, the function normalizes the price's position between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands.
It calculates three positions based on the high, low, and close prices of the requested timeframe:
pos_high = (High - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_low = (Low - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_close = (Close - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
If the upper band is not greater than the lower band or if the data is invalid (e.g., na), it defaults to 0.5 (the midline).
The average of these three positions (avg_pos) represents the normalized position for that timeframe, ranging from 0 (at the lower band) to 1 (at the upper band).
Multi-Timeframe Averaging:
The indicator fetches Bollinger Band data from four customizable timeframes (default: 30min, 60min, 240min, daily) using request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to get the latest available data.
It calculates the normalized position (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) for each timeframe using f_getBBPosition().
These four positions are then averaged to produce the final avg_position:avg_position = (pos1 + pos2 + pos3 + pos4) / 4
This average is the oscillator value, which is plotted and typically oscillates between 0 and 1.
Moving Averages:
Two optional moving averages (MA1 and MA2) of the avg_position can be enabled, calculated using simple moving averages (ta.sma) with customizable lengths (default: 5 and 10).
These can be potentially used for MA crossover strategies.
What Is Being Averaged?
The oscillator (avg_position) is the average of the normalized price positions within the Bollinger Bands across the four selected timeframes. Specifically:It averages the avg_pos values (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) calculated for each timeframe.
Each avg_pos is itself an average of the normalized positions of the high, low, and close prices relative to the Bollinger Bands for that timeframe.
This multi-timeframe averaging smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a broader perspective on the price's position within the volatility bands.
Interpretation
0.0 The price is at or below the lower Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential oversold conditions).
0.15: A customizable level (green band) which can be used for exiting short positions or entering long positions.
0.5: The midline, where the price is at the average of the Bollinger Bands (neutral zone).
0.85: A customizable level (orange band) which can be used for exiting long positions or entering short positions.
1.0: The price is at or above the upper Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential overbought conditions).
The colored regions and moving averages (if enabled) help identify trends or crossovers for trading signals.
Example
If the 30min timeframe shows the close at the upper band (position = 1.0), the 60min at the midline (position = 0.5), the 240min at the lower band (position = 0.0), and the daily at the upper band (position = 1.0), the avg_position would be:(1.0 + 0.5 + 0.0 + 1.0) / 4 = 0.625
This value (0.625) would plot in the orange region (between 0.85 and 0.5), suggesting the price is relatively strong but not at an extreme.
Notes
The use of lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on ensures the indicator uses the latest available data, making it more real-time, though its effectiveness depends on the chart timeframe and TradingView's data feed.
The indicator’s sensitivity can be adjusted by changing bb_length ("Bollinger Band MA Length" in the Input tab), bb_mult ("Bollinger Band Standard Deviation," also in the Input tab), or the selected timeframes.

Core Mechanics
Signalgo BB operates on the principle of nested volatility bands and moving averages. It calculates:
Fast & Slow Bands: Two sets of Bollinger Bands (BB), using different moving average types (EMA or SMA), lengths, and standard deviation multipliers.
Volatility Cloud: A dynamic visual layer indicating when price is inside both, one, or neither band.
Filtering: A short-term RSI is used to confirm trend direction and filter out weak signals.
Inputs & Components
MA Type: Choice between EMA, SMA for both fast and slow MA calculations.
Fast/Slow Lengths
Fast/Slow Deviations
RSI Length/Thresholds
Show Cloud: Toggle for the visual volatility cloud.
Signal Mode: Band Break.
Prevent Repeated Signals: Option to suppress duplicate signals in the same direction.
TP/SL & Trailing Logic: Advanced, automated trade management with ATR-based distances, three take-profit levels, and a dynamic trailing stop.
Signal Generation
Band Break: Triggers when price crosses the fast BB band.
RSI Filter: All signals require RSI confirmation.
Prevent Repeated Signals: Optionally only marks the first breakout in a series to reduce overtrading.
Entry/Exit Marks: Labels are plotted for visual clarity, and signals can trigger TradingView alerts.
Trade Management
Stop Loss (SL): Set at a multiple of ATR from the entry price, adapting to current volatility.
Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3): Three levels scaled by risk-reward ratios, supporting partial exits.
Trailing Stop: After the first TP is hit, SL moves to breakeven and then trails at a user-defined multiple of ATR, locking in further gains.
Event Markers: Each TP, SL, and trailing stop event is labeled on the chart.
Direction State: The indicator tracks active trades, allowing for only one open position per direction at a time.
Cloud Visualization: The background color changes depending on whether price is inside both, one, or no bands, making it easier to visualize market conditions.
Multiple Signal Logics: It doesn’t just look at breakouts, it includes cloud crossings, mean reversion, and a choice of how to combine them.
Rigorous Filtering: Signals require RSI trend confirmation, reducing false entries during weak phases.
Automated Trade Management: Built-in TP/SL and trailing logic, dynamically adapting to volatility.
Signal Suppression: Option to prevent repeated signals, reducing noise and overtrading.
Customizable MA Types: Supports EMA, SMA, and a selection algorithm for future expansion.
Trading Strategy Application
Volatility Regimes: The cloud’s color indicates whether price is inside, between, or outside the bands, helping traders identify trending, ranging, or breakout conditions.
Signals: entries can be based on breakouts filtered by RSI trend strength.
Risk Management: All active trades are managed by TP/SL logic, trailing stops after TP1, and visual feedback on exits.
Visual Alerts: Both signals and TP/SL events are marked on the chart for manual review.
Flexibility: Users can switch modes or suppress repeated signals as needed, depending on trading style.
Practical Usage
Intraday to Swing: Suitable for timeframes from minutes to days, depending on the MA periods and volatility profile.
Manual or Automated: The visual overlay and alerts support both manual trading and automated strategies.
Education & Review: The colored cloud and event markers make it easy to review past price action and learn from signals.
What separates this indicator from traditional ones:
1. Dual Bollinger Bands
Traditional: Most indicators use a single set of Bollinger Bands (two standard deviations above/below a moving average).
Signalgo BB: Implements two sets of bands—a "fast" set (shorter moving average, narrower deviation) and a "slow" set (longer moving average, wider deviation). This provides both immediate (fast) and broader context (slow) for volatility and price action.
2. Volatility Cloud Visualization
Traditional: Standard Bollinger Bands display as two lines, with the area between sometimes shaded as a "band" but without dynamic color changes.
Signalgo BB: The background is colored differently depending on whether price is within both, one, or neither band, offering a visual "cloud" that distinguishes trending, ranging, or breakout regimes at a glance.
3. RSI Filtering
Traditional: Many indicators either don’t filter signals, or if they do, it’s not always configurable.
Signalgo BB: Adds an optional RSI filter, requiring signals to be confirmed by short-term RSI overbought/oversold conditions. This reduces false signals in range-bound or low-trend environments.
4. Prevention of Repeated Signals
Traditional: Most indicators will keep firing signals as long as conditions are met, which can cause overtrading.
Signalgo BB: Offers a user-toggleable option to suppress repeated signals in the same direction until the opposite signal occurs. This reduces noise for discretionary traders.
5. Integrated Trade Management
Traditional: Manual or separate coding is required for stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop logic.
Signalgo BB: Builds in dynamic, ATR-based stop-loss; up to three take-profit levels and a trailing stop that activates after the first TP is hit. All levels are visually plotted on the chart, and events (TP/SL hits) are labeled, aiding strategy review and automation.
6. Event Labeling and Alerts
Traditional: Alerts may exist for entry/exit, but rarely for each TP/SL event.
Signalgo BB: Places labels for every entry, exit, and TP/SL event. It also provides TradingView alertconditions for each event, enabling automated notifications or integration with trading bots.
7. Directional State Tracking
Traditional: Indicators typically do not track the "state" of a trade (e.g., active long/short/flat) beyond simple signals.
Signalgo BB: Maintains persistent variables for entry price, SL, TP, trailing stop, and trade direction, ensuring only one active signal per direction. This prevents overlapping entries and mimics realistic trade management.
8. User Customization
Traditional: Default settings are often hardcoded, or customization is limited.
Signalgo BB: Offers extensive user inputs for MA type and TP/SL logic—making the tool adaptable to many strategies and timeframes.
Bollinger Band Breakout With Volatility StoplossDetailed Explanation of the Bollinger Band Breakout With Volatility Stoploss System
Introduction
The "Bollinger Band Breakout With Volatility Stoploss" system is a trading strategy designed to exploit price volatility in financial markets using the Bollinger Bands indicator, a widely recognized tool developed by John Bollinger. This system adapts the traditional Bollinger Bands framework into a Volatility Breakout strategy, focusing on capturing significant price movements by leveraging customized parameters and precise trading rules. The system operates exclusively on long positions, employs a daily timeframe, and incorporates dynamic risk management techniques to optimize trade outcomes while preserving capital.
System Parameters
The system modifies the standard Bollinger Bands configuration to suit its breakout methodology:
Standard Deviation (SD): Set to 1x, determining the width of the bands relative to the central moving average. This tighter setting enhances sensitivity to price movements, making the system responsive to smaller volatility shifts compared to the conventional 2x SD.
Period: A 30-day (1-month) lookback period is used to calculate the bands, providing a balance between capturing medium-term price trends and avoiding excessive noise from shorter timeframes.
Moving Average Type: The system uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) instead of the Simple Moving Average (SMA). The EMA places greater weight on recent price data, making it more responsive to current market conditions and better suited for detecting breakout opportunities in dynamic markets.
Core Concept
The Bollinger Band Breakout system is built on the principle of Volatility Breakout, which seeks to capitalize on significant price movements when the price breaks out of a defined volatility range. The Bollinger Bands, consisting of an EMA as the central line and two bands (Upper and Lower) calculated as the EMA plus or minus 1x SD, define this range. The system operates on a Daily Chart (D) timeframe, making it suitable for traders who prefer analyzing and executing trades based on daily price action. By focusing solely on Long Positions (buying low and selling high), the system avoids short-selling, aligning with strategies that capitalize on upward price momentum.
The core idea is to use the 1x SD multiplier over a 30-day period to establish a dynamic price range that reflects recent market volatility. Breakouts above the Upper Band signal potential buying opportunities, while penetrations below the Lower Band indicate exits, ensuring trades are aligned with significant price movements.
Trading Signals
The system generates clear entry and exit signals based on price interactions with the Bollinger Bands:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when the closing price of a daily candle exceeds the Upper Bollinger Band (EMA + 1x SD over 30 days). The trade is entered at the opening price of the subsequent candle, ensuring the breakout is confirmed by the close of the prior day. This approach minimizes false signals by waiting for a definitive breach of the volatility threshold.
Sell Signal: A sell signal occurs when the closing price falls below the Lower Bollinger Band (EMA - 1x SD over 30 days). The position is exited at the opening price of the next candle, allowing the trader to lock in profits or limit losses when the price reverses or loses momentum.
Risk Management
Risk management is a cornerstone of the system, ensuring capital preservation and disciplined trade execution:
Initial Stoploss: The stoploss is set at the Lower Bollinger Band of the candle that triggered the buy signal. This level acts as a volatility-based threshold, below which the trade is deemed invalid, prompting an immediate exit to protect capital. Traders have two options for implementing the stoploss:
Pending Stoploss: A predefined stoploss order placed at the Lower Band level.
Conditional Exit: Using the sell signal condition (price closing below the Lower Band) as the exit trigger, effectively aligning the stoploss with the system’s exit rules.
Position Sizing: The system employs Fixed Fractional Position Sizing with a risk per trade capped at 3% of the account balance. The position size is calculated based on the distance between the entry price and the Initial Stoploss, incorporating Volatility Position Sizing. This method adjusts the trade size according to the market’s volatility, ensuring that risk remains consistent across varying market conditions. Two options are available for managing capital:
Gear Up Option: Profits from previous trades are reinvested into the account’s capital, increasing the base for calculating the next position size. This compounding approach can amplify returns but also increases risk exposure.
Fixed Equity Option: Profits from previous trades are withdrawn, and only the remaining capital is used for calculating the next position size. This conservative approach prioritizes capital preservation by not compounding gains.
Trailing Stop: The system uses the Lower Bollinger Band as a dynamic trailing stop, which adjusts with price movements and volatility. This ensures that profits are protected during favorable trends while allowing the trade to remain open as long as the price stays above the Lower Band. The trailing stop aligns with the sell signal condition, maintaining consistency in the system’s exit strategy.
Supporting Indicators
The system incorporates two additional indicators to enhance market analysis and decision-making:
Bollinger Band Width (BBW): BBW measures the distance between the Upper and Lower Bollinger Bands relative to the EMA, serving as a proxy for market volatility.
A high BBW indicates significant price volatility, often associated with strong trends or large price movements, which may confirm the strength of a breakout.
A low BBW suggests low volatility, potentially signaling a period of consolidation or "squeeze" that could precede a breakout. This can help traders anticipate potential trade setups.
The BBW calculation uses the EMA to maintain consistency with the system’s core parameters.
Bollinger Band Ratio (BBR) or %B: BBR measures the price’s position relative to the Bollinger Bands, providing insight into market conditions.
BBR > 1: The price is above the Upper Band, indicating potential overbought conditions or strong upward momentum, which aligns with the system’s buy signal.
BBR < 0: The price is below the Lower Band, suggesting oversold conditions or downward momentum, corresponding to the sell signal or stoploss trigger.
BBR between 0 and 1: The price is within the bands, indicating a neutral state where no immediate action is required.
Like BBW, BBR is calculated using the EMA for consistency.
Backtesting and Implementation
To evaluate the system’s performance, traders can utilize the Backtest Parameter function, which allows for testing the strategy across user-defined time periods. This feature enables traders to assess the system’s effectiveness under various market conditions, optimize parameters, and refine their approach based on historical data.
Conclusion
The Bollinger Band Breakout With Volatility Stoploss system is a robust, volatility-driven trading strategy that combines the predictive power of Bollinger Bands with disciplined risk management. By focusing on long positions, using a 1x SD multiplier, and incorporating EMA-based calculations, the system is designed to capture significant price breakouts while minimizing risk through dynamic stoplosses and volatility-adjusted position sizing. The inclusion of BBW and BBR indicators provides additional context for assessing market conditions, enhancing the trader’s ability to make informed decisions. With its structured approach and backtesting capabilities, this system is well-suited for traders seeking a systematic, data-driven method to trade in volatile markets.

Ideas and code enhanced to show higher timeframe by @CoffeeShopCrypto
It’s time to take the guesswork out of moving averages and multiple timeframes when day trading. Moving averages are a cornerstone of many trading strategies, often viewed as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders rely on these levels to anticipate price reactions, whether it’s a bounce in a trending market or a reversal in a ranging one. Additionally, the direction and alignment of multi timeframe moving averages—whether they’re moving in the same direction or diverging—provide critical clues about market momentum and potential reversals. However, the traditional higher timeframe moving average indicators force traders to wait for higher timeframe candles to close, creating lag and missed opportunities.
The Old Way
For example: If you are on a 5 minute chart and you want to observe the location and direction of a 30 minute chart Moving Average, you'll need to wait for a total of 6 candles to close, and again every 6 candles after that. This only creates more lag.
The New Way
Now there is no waiting for high timeframe session candles to close. No matter what timeframe Moving Average you want to know about, this indicator will show you its location on your current chart at any time in real time.
For those who prefer Bollinger Bands, this indicator adds a whole new dimension to your strategy. Traders often wait for price action to break outside the lower time frame Bollinger bands before considering a trade, while still seeking key support or resistance levels beyond them. But if you don't know the position of your higher time frame Bollinger, you could be trading into a trap. With Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average, you can view both your current and higher timeframe Bollinger Bands simultaneously with zero waiting. This lets you instantly see when price action is traveling between the bands of either timeframe or breaking through both—indicating a strong trend in that direction. Additionally, when both sets of Bollinger Bands overlap at the same price levels, it highlights areas of strong consolidation and ranging conditions, giving you a clear picture of market dynamics. This is a key element in price action that tells you there is currently no direction to the market and both the current and higher time frames are flat.
Enter Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average—the ultimate tool for real-time higher timeframe moving averages and Bollinger Bands. This innovative indicator eliminates the delay, delivering instant, precise values for higher timeframe averages and bands, even on open candles. Seamlessly combining current and higher timeframe data, it allows traders to identify key moments where moving averages or Bollinger Bands align or diverge, signaling market conditions. Whether you’re gauging the strength of a trend, pinpointing potential reversals, or identifying consolidation zones, Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average gives you the clarity needed to make better trading decisions according to market conditions.
Why is this "Mashup" of moving averages different and important?
Honestly its really about the calculation thats imported through the "import library" function.
Heres what it does:
The ZLMTF-MA is designed to help traders easily see where higher timeframe moving averages and Bollinger Bands are—without needing to switch chart timeframes or wait for those larger candles to close. It works by adjusting common moving average types like SMA, EMA, and VWMA to show what they would look like if they were based on a higher timeframe, right on your current chart. This helps users stay focused on their main timeframe while still having a clear view of the bigger picture, making it easier to spot trend direction, key support and resistance levels, and overall market structure. The goal is to keep things simple, fast, and more visually informative for everyday traders.
Bollinger Bands
When working with Bollinger Bands, a common strategy is to take the trades once price action has escaped through the top or bottom of your current Bollinger Band.
A false breakout occurs when both Bollinger Bands are not moving in the same direction as eachother or when they are overlapping.
Moving Averages as Support and Resistance:
Traders who use Moving Averages as support or resistance, looking for rejections or failures of these areas can now see multiple timeframe price action instantly and simultaneously.
Trading Setup Examples:
Price Action Scenario 1:
Higher Timeframe Ranging-
When price action breaks through a current moving average headed toward a higher timeframe moving average, trades are taken with caution if the moving averages are converging.
Price Action Scenario 2:
Strong Trending Market -
If the moving averages are in the same direction, and your price action is now leading the low timeframe moving average, you have re-entered a strong trend.
Price Action Scenario 3:
High Timeframe Rejections -
If you have a rejection of a higher timeframe moving average, and your both averages are still diverging, this is the end of a pullback as you re-enter a strong trend in the original direction
Price Action Scenario 4:
Trend Reversals -
If you close beyond both the low and high timeframe moving averages, you can consider that price action is strong enough to change direction here and you should prepare for trade setups in the opposite direction of the previous.
HTF MA Label Information:
Even if your high timeframe moving average is turned off, you can still see this label.
It gives you a quick reminder of what high timeframe settings you have used to see MA values.
Bollinger Bands ETSOverview
Bollinger Bands ETstyle (BB ETS) is an advanced volatility and breakout detection indicator, building upon the classic Bollinger Bands. This script introduces adaptive ATR-based band width smoothing and clear squeeze detection, making it a versatile tool for traders seeking more responsive and actionable volatility analysis.
Features
Dual Bollinger Bands: Plots both standard and outer bands around a configurable moving average, allowing visualization of typical and extreme volatility ranges.
ATR-Based Band Smoothing (Optional): When enabled, the bands automatically widen during low-volatility periods using the Average True Range (ATR), reducing false signals and making the bands more adaptive.
Squeeze Detection (Optional): Highlights periods when the bands contract below a user-defined threshold, signaling potential breakout setups. Squeeze periods are visually marked with a background highlight for easy identification.
Customizable Settings: Users can adjust band length, standard deviation multipliers, ATR parameters, and squeeze thresholds. Both ATR smoothing and squeeze detection can be toggled on or off.
Clean Chart Output: The indicator overlays directly on price with clear, distinguishable visuals for all features.
How It Works
The indicator calculates a moving average (basis) and plots upper and lower bands at user-selected standard deviations.
If ATR smoothing is enabled, the band width expands by a multiple of the ATR, adapting to real-time volatility.
The script computes the relative band width ("bandwidth"). When this falls below your chosen threshold, the background is highlighted to indicate a "squeeze"-a period of reduced volatility that often precedes breakouts.
How to Use
Trend & Volatility Analysis: Use the bands to identify overbought/oversold conditions and current market volatility. Price touching or crossing the outer bands may signal trend exhaustion or continuation.
Breakout Anticipation: Watch for background highlights indicating a squeeze. These periods suggest the market is coiling for a potential significant move.
Adaptive Sensitivity: Enable ATR smoothing to keep bands relevant during both calm and volatile markets, reducing false signals in low-volatility conditions.
Customization: Adjust all parameters in the settings to match your trading style and the asset’s behavior.
Limitations
The indicator is designed for standard price charts and may not perform as intended on non-standard chart types (such as Renko or Heikin Ashi).
As with all technical tools, best results are achieved when used alongside other forms of analysis.
Summary
Bollinger Bands ETstyle (BB ETS) offers a modern, adaptive approach to volatility and breakout analysis by combining classic bands with ATR-based smoothing and clear squeeze visualization. It is suitable for trend-following and breakout strategies, and requires no additional scripts-simply apply to your chart and adjust the settings as needed.
BB Breakout + Momentum Squeeze [Strategy]This Strategy is Based on 3 free indicators
- Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator: Link
- TTM Squeeze Pro: Link
- Rolling ATR Bands: Link
Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator - This tool shows how strong a market trend is by measuring how often prices move outside their normal Bollinger bands range. It helps you see whether prices are strongly moving in one direction or just moving sideways. By looking at how much and how frequently prices push beyond their typical boundaries, you can identify which direction the market is heading over your selected time period.
TM Squeeze Pro - This is a custom version of the TTM Squeeze indicator.
It's designed to help traders spot consolidation phases in the market (when price is coiling or "squeezing") and to catch breakouts early when volatility returns. The logic is based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, combined with a momentum oscillator to show direction and strength.
Rolling ATR Bands - This indicator combines volatility bands (ATR) with momentum and trend signals to show where the market might be breaking out, retesting, or trending. It's highly visual and helpful for traders looking to time entries/exits during trending or volatile moves.
Logic Of the Strategy:
We are going to use the Bollinger Bands Breakout to determine the direction of the market. Than check the Volatility of the price by looking at the TTM Squeeze indicator. And use the ATR Bands to determine dynamic Stop Losses and based on the calculate the Take Profit targets and quantity for each position dynamically.
For the Long Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bull Power (Green line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
For the Short Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bear Power (Red line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
Stop Loss is determined by the Lower ATR Band (for the Long entry) and Upper ATR Band (For the Short entry)
Take Profit is 1:1.5 risk reward ration, which means if the Stop loss is 1% the TP target will be 1.5%
Move stop Loss to Breakeven: If the price will go in the direction of the trade for at least half of the Risk Reward target then the stop will automatically be adjusted to the entry price. For Example: the Stop Loss is 1%, the price has move at least 0.5% in the direction of your trade and that will move the Stop Loss level to the Entry point.
You can Adjust the parameters for each indicator used in that script and also adjust the Risk and Money management block to see how the PnL will change.
Profit Trailing BBandsProfit Trailing Trend BBands v4.7.5 with Double Trailing SL
A TradingView Pine Script Strategy
Created by Kevin Bourn and refined with the help of Grok 3 (xAI)
Overview
Welcome to Profit Trailing Trend BBands v4.7.5, a dynamic trading strategy designed to ride trends and lock in profits with a unique double trailing stop-loss mechanism. Built for TradingView’s Pine Script v6, this strategy combines Bollinger Bands for trend detection with a smart trailing system that doubles down on profit protection. Whether you’re trading XRP or any other asset, this tool aims to maximize gains while keeping risk in check—all with a clean, visual interface.
What It Does
Identifies Trends: Uses Bollinger Bands to spot uptrends (price crossing above the upper band) and downtrends (price crossing below the lower band).
Enters Positions: Opens long or short trades based on trend signals, with customizable position sizing and leverage.
Trails Profits: Employs a two-stage trailing stop-loss:
Initial Trailing SL: Acts as a take-profit level, set as a percentage (%) or dollar ($) distance from the entry price.
Tightened Trailing SL: Once the initial profit target is hit, the stop-loss tightens to half the initial distance, locking in gains as the trend continues.
Manages Risk: Includes a margin call feature to exit losing positions before they blow up your account.
Visualizes Everything: Plots Bollinger Bands (blue upper, orange lower) and a red stepped trailing stop-loss line for easy tracking.
Why Built It?
Captures Trends: Bollinger Bands are a proven way to catch momentum, and we tuned them for responsiveness (short length, moderate multiplier).
Secures Profits: Traditional trailing stops often leave money on the table or exit too early. The double trailing SL first takes a chunk of profit, then tightens up to ride the rest of the move.
Stays Flexible: Traders can tweak price sources, stop-loss types (% or $), and position sizing to fit their style.
Looks Good: Clear visuals help you see the strategy in action without cluttering your chart.
Originally refined for XRP, it’s versatile enough for most markets — crypto, forex, stocks, you name it.
How It Works
Core Components
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) and standard deviation.
Default settings: 6-period length, 1.66 multiplier.
Upper Band (blue): SMA + (1.66 × StdDev).
Lower Band (orange): SMA - (1.66 × StdDev).
Trend signals: Price crossing above the upper band triggers a long, below the lower band triggers a short.
Double Trailing Stop-Loss:
Initial SL: Set via "Trailing Stop-Loss Value" (default 6% or $6). Trails the price at this distance and doubles as the first profit target.
Tightened SL: Once price hits the initial SL distance in profit (e.g., +6%), the SL tightens to half (e.g., 3%) and continues trailing, locking in gains.
Visualized as a red stepped line, only visible during active positions.
Position Sizing:
Choose "% of Equity" (default 30%) or "Amount in $" to set trade size.
Leverage (default 10x) amplifies positions, capped by available equity to avoid overexposure.
Margin Call:
Exits positions if drawdown exceeds the "Margin %" (default 10%) to protect your account.
Backtesting Filter:
Starts trading after a user-defined date (default: Jan 1, 2020) for focused historical analysis.
Trade Logic
Long Entry: Price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band → Closes any short position, opens a long.
Short Entry: Price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band → Closes any long position, opens a short.
Exit: Position closes when price hits the trailing stop-loss or triggers a margin call.
How to Use It

Assets: Optimized for XRP, but tweak slValue and mult for other markets (e.g., tighter SL for low-volatility pairs).
Risk Management: Keep marginPercent low (5-10%) for volatile assets; adjust leverage based on your risk tolerance.
Visuals: The red stepped SL line shows only during trades—zoom in to see its tightening in action.
Visuals on the Chart
Blue Line: Upper Bollinger Band (trend entry for longs).
Orange Line: Lower Bollinger Band (trend entry for shorts).
Red Stepped Line: Trailing Stop-Loss (shifts tighter after the first profit target).
Order Labels: Short tags like "OL" (Open Long), "CS" (Close Short), "LSL" (Long Stop-Loss), etc., mark trades.

02 SMC + BB Breakout (Improved)This strategy combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Bollinger Band breakouts to identify potential trading opportunities. SMC focuses on identifying key price levels and market structure shifts, while Bollinger Bands help pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions and potential breakout points. The strategy also incorporates higher timeframe trend confirmation to filter out trades that go against the prevailing trend.
Key Components:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price and a standard deviation multiplier.
The strategy uses the upper and lower bands to identify potential breakout points.
The SMA (basis) acts as a centerline and potential support/resistance level.
The fill between the upper and lower bands can be toggled by the user.
Higher Timeframe Trend Confirmation:
The strategy allows for optional confirmation of the current trend using a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
It calculates the SMA of the higher timeframe's closing prices.
A bullish trend is confirmed if the higher timeframe's closing price is above its SMA.
This helps filter out trades that go against the prevailing long-term trend.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Order Blocks:
Simplified as recent price clusters, identified by the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period.
These levels are considered potential areas of support or resistance.
Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs/Lows):
Identified by recent swing highs and lows, indicating areas where liquidity may be present.
The Swing highs and lows are calculated based on user defined lookback periods.
Market Structure Shift (MSS):
Identifies potential changes in market structure.
A bullish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks above a previous swing high.
A bearish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks below a previous swing low.
The swing high and low values used for the MSS are calculated based on the user defined swing length.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The closing price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A bullish MSS must have occurred.
Short Entry:
The closing price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A bearish MSS must have occurred.
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
The closing price crosses below the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the Closing price falls below 99% of the order block low.
Short Exit:
The closing price crosses above the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the closing price rises above 101% of the order block high.
Position Sizing:
The strategy calculates the position size based on a fixed percentage (5%) of the strategy's equity.
This helps manage risk by limiting the potential loss per trade.
Visualizations:
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted on the chart.
SMC elements (order blocks, swing highs/lows) are plotted as lines, with user-adjustable visibility.
Entry and exit signals are plotted as shapes on the chart.
The Bollinger band fill opacity is adjustable by the user.
Trading Logic:
The strategy aims to capitalize on Bollinger Band breakouts that are confirmed by SMC signals and higher timeframe trend. It looks for breakouts that align with potential market structure shifts and key price levels (order blocks, swing highs/lows). The higher timeframe filter helps avoid trades that go against the overall trend.
In essence, the strategy attempts to identify high-probability breakout trades by combining momentum (Bollinger Bands) with structural analysis (SMC) and trend confirmation.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Bollinger Bands Length
Standard Deviation Multiplier
Higher Timeframe
Higher Timeframe Confirmation (on/off)
SMC Elements Visibility (on/off)
Order block lookback length.
Swing lookback length.
Bollinger band fill opacity.
This detailed description should provide a comprehensive understanding of the strategy's logic and components.

Double Bollinger Bands MTF and Price projectionI did this script because I wanted to project prices over future bars quickly because I am a options trader.
Options:
Time frame: Default is Chart
Some times I prefer using 15 m with period 200 on a daily chart in a fast moving market. But you can chose what suites you
BB inner deviation 1 is default
When BB inner deviation=1 the outer will be 2X if its 0.5 outer will be 1
Moving Average type : Default EMA
Project next bar in label Default is off
This will calculate a linear projection of price of each band for the number of bars requested and print them in the label. It does not plot the future values
Using: in a trending market the prices will be generally be between band1 and band 2
and other times between -band1 and +band1. The projection can assist in optimal option strategy. Also in a fast moving market I would use 10 period ema for accurate price projections and others 20
Bollinger Bands MTF & Kalman Filter | Flux Charts📈 Multi-Timeframe Kalman Filtered Bollinger Bands Indicator
Introducing our MTF Kalman Filtered Bollinger Bands – a powerful multi-timeframe Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator enhanced with Kalman filtering for superior smoothing and trend analysis. This indicator dynamically adapts Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes while incorporating volume-based gradient transparency to highlight significant price movements. This indicator is better optimized for lower timeframes.
❓ How to Interpret the Bands & Volume Gradient:
Our indicator combines Lower Timeframe (LTF) and Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bollinger Bands to provide a comprehensive trend analysis. It applies Kalman filtering to the LTF bands, ensuring smoother, noise-reduced signals. The color gradient and relative volume-based transparency offer deeper insights into price strength.
🔹 LTF Bollinger Bands: Shorter-period bands filtered with a Kalman smoothing algorithm, reducing lag and noise.
🔹 HTF Bollinger Bands: Traditional Bollinger Bands plotted on a higher timeframe, offering macro trend analysis.
🔹 Volume Gradient Transparency: The bands adjust their opacity based on relative buy/sell volume, allowing traders to assess momentum strength.
📌 How Does It Work?
1️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Bands Calculation
The LTF BB uses Kalman filtering for a smoother price representation, helping to reduce false signals.
The HTF BB is EMA-smoothed for improved trend clarity.
2️⃣ Adaptive Gradient Transparency
The opacity of the fill color between the bands is determined by relative buy/sell volume.
Higher buy volume = stronger bullish signal (greener bands).
Higher sell volume = stronger bearish signal (redder bands).
3️⃣ Dynamic Trend Signals & Breakouts
Buy Signal: When price breaks below the HTF lower band and LTF bands start rising.
Sell Signal: When price breaks above the HTF upper band and LTF bands start falling.
⚙️ Settings & Customization:
🛠 LTF and HTF Bollinger Bands Settings:
Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the BB to determine the upper and lower bands
Length: Define the number of bars determines the BB calculations.
Custom Timeframe Selection: Choose from predefined options (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, etc).
🎨 Gradient & Transparency Settings:
Bullish/Bearish Color Options: Customize colors for uptrend and downtrend conditions.
Max & Min Opacity: Adjust the transparency levels based on volume intensity.
Solid vs. Gradient Mode: Choose between a gradient fill or a solid color mode for clarity.
📌 Recommended Settings for Optimal Use:
1️⃣ Timeframe Selection (LTF -> HTF):
1 min -> 5 min
2 min -> 5 min
3 min -> 15 min
5 min -> 15 min
15 min -> 1 hr
1 hr -> 4 hr
4 hr -> 1 day
2️⃣ Multiplier: Use 2.0 for LTF and 2.25 for HTF
3️⃣Length: Use a length of 20 - 30 bars
🚀 Why Use This Indicator?
✅ Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Bands with Kalman Filtering – Ideal for traders looking for reduced lag and clearer trend signals.
✅ Volume-Based Transparency – See momentum shifts instantly with adaptive opacity.
✅ Dynamic Buy & Sell Signals – Alerts based on price action + volume trends.
✅ Customizable for Any Strategy – Adjust colors, timeframes, and filtering options for personalized trading.
Tri-Fold BB(Trend-Strength)*indicator isn't preset to look as displayed, do so accordingly*
"Tri-Fold BB" is an indicator that utilizes three Bollinger Bands, each of different length as a way to represent trend strength. This allows one to see the trend strength relative to multiple timeframes: short, mid, and long term trend strength. This is helpful because it provides the user with a holistic view of the asset.
How it Works
The indicator is preset to utilizing three different Bollinger Bands with length: 20, 50, and 100. This indicator simply plots the price of an asset relative to its specified Bollinger Band. For an example, if the price of the asset were to surpass its 20BB standard deviations, it would display so accordingly, though from the perspective of lets say... the 100, it may have looked like it barely moved up a standard deviation relative to 100BB because the standard deviations of a 100BB are more spread out.
Its important to view the trend strength from multiple lengths because it allows one to gauge whether the short term trend strength is likely to hold or not. A better way to speculate on asset behavior.
Another way to view this indicator is similar to that of the BB% indicator, except this indicator allows us to view price relative to standard deviations, across multiple timeframes. More holistic, more utility provided.
Basic Understanding:
Each line = Standard Deviation (3 upper, 3 lower)
Mid-Line = Basis relative to BB(20sma, 50sma, 100sma)
If price goes under Basis, that means it crossed below their specified sma(significant bull or bear signal)
I've also added HMA's relative to each BB incase one were to decide in creating some sort of trading strategy with it. I personally don't use them but I understand that it could be helpful to some so I left it in there. If you don't like them then simply deselect them and then save your desired setup as default.
In regard to regular indications of bullish or bearishness, i'd like to add that I use this indicator for the sole purpose of providing an idea of trend strength. I personally am unsure to state that cross overs directly indicate that there is a bull or bear move because I've seen instances where the price of an asset went in a direction contrary to what it 'should' have if we were to use that cross over strategy. Though of course, feel free to use this indicator as desired.
Bollinger Bands Reversal Strategy Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
The Bollinger Bands Reversal Overlay is a versatile trading tool designed to help traders identify potential reversal opportunities using Bollinger Bands. It provides visual signals, performance metrics, and a detailed table to analyze the effectiveness of reversal-based strategies over a user-defined lookback period.
█ KEY FEATURES

A middle band (basis) as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price.
An upper band as the basis plus a multiple of the standard deviation.
A lower band as the basis minus a multiple of the standard deviation.
Users can customize the length of the Bollinger Bands and the multiplier for the standard deviation.
Reversal Signals
The indicator identifies potential reversal signals based on the interaction between the price and the Bollinger Bands.
Two entry strategies are available:
Revert Cross: Waits for the price to close back above the lower band (for longs) or below the upper band (for shorts) after crossing it.
Cross Threshold: Triggers a signal as soon as the price crosses the lower band (for longs) or the upper band (for shorts).
Trade Direction
Users can select a trade bias:
Long: Focuses on bullish reversal signals.
Short: Focuses on bearish reversal signals.
Performance Metrics

2. EMA and MACD — calculates exponential moving averages and MACD histogram to determine trend direction.
3. ATR and Bollinger Bands — used to assess current volatility and establish dynamic upper and lower bands.
Volatility and Volume Analysis
- Determines the current ATR level and Bollinger Band width to evaluate high volatility.
- Calculates the volume moving average to track periods of increased volume during high volatility.
Trend Analysis
The script uses the difference between fast and slow EMAs to define strong trends:
- Uptrend — when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, the price is above the fast EMA, and the trend is strong.
- Downtrend — when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, the price is below the fast EMA, and the trend is strong.
Momentum Filter
- Based on the price change over the last three bars and compared against the minimum volatility threshold to identify strong momentum.
Buy and Sell Signal Generation
- Buy Signal: Uptrend with RSI oversold, positive MACD histogram, high volatility and volume, strong momentum, and sufficient Bollinger Band width.
- Sell Signal: Downtrend with RSI overbought, negative MACD histogram, high volatility and volume, strong momentum, and sufficient Bollinger Band width.
Visualization
- Buy and sell signals are displayed as green and red triangles on the chart.
- Plots for fast and slow EMAs, upper and lower bands, and Bollinger Bands.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, allowing notifications to be sent via email or mobile app.

E9 Bollinger RangeThe E9 Bollinger Range is a technical trading tool that leverages Bollinger Bands to track volatility and price deviations, along with additional trend filtering via EMAs.
The script visually enhances price action with a combination of trend-filtering EMAs, bar colouring for trend direction, signals to indicate potential buy and sell points based on price extension and engulfing patterns.
Here’s a breakdown of its key components:
Bollinger Bands: The strategy plots multiple Bollinger Band deviations to create different price levels. The furthest deviation bands act as warning signs for traders when price extends significantly, signaling potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Bar Colouring: Visual bar colouring is applied to clearly indicate trend direction: green bars for an uptrend and red bars for a downtrend.
EMA Filtering: Two EMAs (50 and 200) are used to help filter out false signals, giving traders a better sense of the underlying trend.
This combination of signals, visual elements, and trend filtering provides traders with a systematic approach to identifying price deviations and taking advantage of market corrections.
Brief History of Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands were developed by John Bollinger in the early 1980s as a tool to measure price volatility in financial markets. The bands consist of a moving average (typically 20 periods) with upper and lower bands placed two standard deviations away. These bands expand and contract based on market volatility, offering traders a visual representation of price extremes and potential reversal zones.
John Bollinger’s work revolutionized technical analysis by incorporating volatility into trend detection. His bands remain widely used across markets, including stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. With the ability to highlight overbought and oversold conditions, Bollinger Bands have become a staple in many trading strategies.

This indicator combines the classic Bollinger Bands with enhanced customization options, allowing traders to fine-tune the settings according to their specific strategies.
Key Features:
Moving Average Flexibility: Choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or Weighted Moving Average (WMA) as the central basis for the Bollinger Bands. This flexibility allows you to align the indicator with your preferred method of trend analysis.
Dual Band Deviation: The indicator includes two sets of upper and lower bands based on different standard deviation multipliers. This helps you analyze both the tightness of price action and potential breakout zones.
Customizable Colors: The mid-band, upper bands, and lower bands can be fully customized in terms of color, allowing you to personalize the visual representation of the indicator on your charts.
Dynamic Transparency: The space between the outer Bollinger Bands can be filled with a customizable transparent color, making it easy to visualize price movements within the bands.
Alerts for Crossovers: Alerts are triggered whenever the price crosses above the upper band or below the lower band, giving you timely notifications of potential breakout or breakdown scenarios.
Overbought/Oversold Visualization: The background of the chart changes color when the price crosses above the upper band (indicating overbought conditions) or below the lower band (indicating oversold conditions), providing a visual cue to help you identify market extremes.

3. 🔔 Set Alerts : Activate alerts for bullish/bearish trends and TP signals, ensuring you never miss a crucial market movement.
🔍 How It Works
The Hullinger Bands indicator calculates a central line (basis) using a simple moving average, while the upper and lower bands are derived from a modified standard deviation of price movements. Unlike the traditional Bollinger Bands, the standard deviation in the Hullinger bands uses the Hull Moving Average instead of the Simple Moving Average to calculate the average variance for standard deviation calculations, this give the modified standard deviation output "memory" and the bands can be observed expanding even after the price has started consolidating, this can identify when the trend has exhausted better as the distance between the price and the bands is more apparent. The color of the bands changes dynamically, based on the proximity of the closing price to the bands, providing instant visual cues for market sentiment. The indicator also plots TP signals when price crosses these bands, allowing traders to make informed decisions. Additionally, alerts are configured to notify you of crucial market shifts, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve.
