Angle of Bollinger Bands AlertThis script is used to calculate angle of Bollinger Bands and also setup alerts.
The angle is based on the rules:
- if the previous 2 is 1.1, previous 1 is 1, and the current is 1.1, then the angle should be 90 degrees.
- if the previous 2 is 0.9, previous 1 is 1, and the current is 0.9, then the angle should be 270 degrees
If upper angle is below 90 degrees and close is above the average, it is long signal.
If lower angle is above 270 degrees and close is below the average, it is short signal.
- It is good for catch trend trading.
- Not good for swing trading as the BB changes are very tiny but angles for upper may hit below 90 degrees or angle of lower may be above 270 degrees.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Bollinger on Bollinger OscillatorThis study is a user-friendly workaround to the BBOE+ (attached at the bottom).
I applied Bollinger Bands on BB Oscillator which spend his time bouncing between +100 -100 levels both representing extremes market conditions. You can use it to spot reliable entries/exits opportunities.
During an uptrend when the oscillator tends to -100 and the lower BB turn up you should consider a BUY. Do the same thing when the oscillator pushes under the lower BB nearby the Zero Line.
Make the opposite during a downtrend.
Also look for divergencies that occurs nearby the borders and BB squeezes too.
You can vary both the lenght for the Oscillator and BB.
Use “Upper Multiplier” and “Lower Multiplier” to set two different StDev from the basis (if you need).
You may also consider to apply an offset to the BB.
Is up to you to match the configuration that better-fits your market and time frame.
Default settings could well fits this IXIC 4H Chart.
So that this is basically a price-based indicator you would better consider to pair it with a volume-based or an absolute-momentum-based one.

Baus BandsThe Baus Bands are a simplified version of another one of my trend following indicators, the Neapolitan Bands. This version only shows the trend trading zones in green and red. An additional 21 EMA with an ATR band was added as part of my own trend trading rules using these bands.
How do I read this indicator?
Is the blue band between and not touching the green or red clouds? The condition is ranging.
Is the blue band touching the green cloud? The condition is a bullish trend.
Is the blue band touching the red cloud? The condition is a bearish trend.
The trend trading rules are exactly the same as the default Neapolitans, but include an extra condition.
A trend has started once 2 conditions are met:
Price has entered either trending cloud.
The 21 EMA ATR band in blue is within the same cloud.
With those conditions met, if you expect the trend to continue, trade pull-backs to the blue band in the direction of the trending cloud.
Isn't this just a 21 EMA trading pull-backs strategy?
No. The 21 EMA alone is not sufficient in my opinion to define a range or trend technically. Always buying the 21 EMA pull-back, especially in a range, is not a great strategy by itself unless you've already identified price as trending. Baus Bands adds that trend identification.
Why make this?
Baus Bands show the conditions I personally use for catching trends and identifying ranges with these indicators, and shows only the information I use.
What's the purpose of the ATR band around the 21 EMA?
Sometimes price will open and close below the 21 EMA and cause some technical analysts will say the trend is over. I added the ATR specifically to get a volatility based, upper and lower bound range around the 21 EMA. that way I have an acceptable price range where price could move past the 21 EMA and still keep a trend valid using similar rules. I then saw that so long this ATR band (not the 21 EMA itself) was touching those trending clouds, then the trend has a good chance of continuing as long as that was true.

My indicator, where I compare the 20 bar change percentage with the 14 bar atr band, I hope it will be useful to everyone. the green zones can be interpreted as BUY and the red zone as SELL zone. In graphs with high motion and low atr, the channel narrowing can be interpreted as BUY and the channel opening as SELL.

Reversal with Bollinger Bands + RSI + ADX + ATR (Upgraded)Hi,
Welcome to my 4th script.
Someone asked me some questions about the Bollinger Band strategy I previously published. When I went back to my published script I couldn't help myself but simply try and make it better. Which I did.
Since I've published that script, I've gained much more knowledge about how Pinescript functions. As well as gaining more and more knowledge about how the markets are structered etc.
In this reversal script we use 4 indicators to determine good entry signals, we determine whether the market is ranging or trending and we still only want to take trades in the direction of the "trend".
Bollinger Bands are used for our entry signal. When price hits either side of the band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we enter a position.
RSI is used to determine if we're in a trending market or in a ranging market. You can adjust the values in the inputs. You can determine the minimum RSI value and the maximum RSI value.
ADX is used the same way as RSI, you can adjust the value in the inputs. You can determine the minimum ADX value.
Last but not least we use two EMA's, a 200 EMA and 100 EMA. Both are adjustable through the inputs. I used two EMA's because I noticed when using this strategy that we'd enter a new position often after having a bad trade. Using two EMA's might clean up some signals, in my case with EUR/USD on a 15m timeframe, it didn't clean up enough signals.
All the default values are pretty decent but might require some finetuning on a certain instrument. Don't overfit the strategy though, that'll only give you bad signals in the future.
Then we are off to our exit signals.
Initially I wanted to incorporate my previous Bollinger Band exit signals as well, but it was too much of a hassle to make the script work as intended so I left it out. If you want to use those exit signals, just find my other script.
When we're in a position and price crosses the opposite band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we exit the position.
Additionally we want our losses to be as small as possible, so we use RSI to signal us when the market is, or starts to, trend against us. This is where you use the minimum and maximum exit values. So when RSI crosses over or under that value, it'll exit the position.
Furthermore, we use the ATR indicator to set our stop loss, which is pretty basic stuff. You can adjust the ATR multiplier in the inputs. Disabling "Use Trailing Stop?" is really inadvisable unless you know this script inside out as your only exit signals will be opposite Bollinger Band Cross and RSI overbought / oversold areas.

[KL] Bollinger Bands Consolidation StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position based on the volatility of prices implied by indicators of (a) Bollinger bands, and (b) ATR.
Application of Bollinger bands ("BOLL")
Using plain vanilla settings for BOLL (i.e. 20 period moving average, and 2 standard deviations of closing prices), we are interested to know about the shape of the area that is bounded by the upper and lower bands.
In theory, consolidation happens when volatility of price decreases. Visually speaking, this is represented by the narrowing of the upper/lower bands. This strategy considers the narrowing of BOLL bands as the primary indicator for long-entry.
Application of ATRs (as confirmations)
Firstly, to confirm that BOLL bands are narrowing (as mentioned above), the ATR at a potential point of entry is compared against the standard deviation of prices over BOLL's lookback periods. Once again, visualizing the shape of BOLL bands during consolidation, we assume the lines begin to squeeze when the distance between the center line and upper/lower band is less than two current ATRs.
Secondly, this strategy looks into the moving average of ATRs to assure that prices are not too choppy when entering into market. If the moving average of ATR decreases at a point in time such that all the above conditions are met, then we can assert that the volatility of price is decreasing.
Thirdly, ATR is used for determining the size of our trailing stop loss. We will keep the multiplier fixed at two.
VWAP-Bollinger BandsThis script uses Bollinger bands but with a VWAP as the source, it uses the high crossing the upper band as a buy signal and a low crossing the lower band as a sell signal
Its default settings are for a day chart - Crypto 30 periods, forex 24 periods and stocks 20 periods, which basically line up with a month per asset class
ive seen good results in crypto and stocks, settings used between1% and 10% equity per trade with a 0.1% fee which lines up with Binance fee structure and $25 per trade which lines up with Commsec on the ASX
Overlay Indicators (EMAs, SMAs, Ichimoku & Bollinger Bands)This is a combination of popular overlay indicators that are used for dynamic support and resistance, trade targets and trend strength.
Included are:
-> 6 Exponential Moving Averages
-> 6 Simple Moving Averages
-> Ichimoku Cloud
-> Bollinger Bands
-> There is also a weekend background marker ideal for cryptocurrency trading
Using all these indicators in conjunction with each other provide great confluence and confidence in trades and price targets.
An explanation of each indicator is listed below.
What Is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA)?
"An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average (SMA), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
What Does the Exponential Moving Average Tell You?
The 12- and 26-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) are often the most quoted and analyzed short-term averages. The 12- and 26-day are used to create indicators like the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and the percentage price oscillator (PPO). In general, the 50- and 200-day EMAs are used as indicators for long-term trends. When a stock price crosses its 200-day moving average, it is a technical signal that a reversal has occurred.
Traders who employ technical analysis find moving averages very useful and insightful when applied correctly. However, they also realize that these signals can create havoc when used improperly or misinterpreted. All the moving averages commonly used in technical analysis are, by their very nature, lagging indicators."
Source: www.investopedia.com
Popular EMA lookback periods include fibonacci numbers and round numbers such as the 100 or 200. The default values of the EMAs in this indicator are the most widely used, specifically for cryptocurrency but they also work very well with traditional.
EMAs are normally used in conjunction with Simple Moving Averages.
" What Is Simple Moving Average (SMA)?
A simple moving average (SMA) calculates the average of a selected range of prices, usually closing prices, by the number of periods in that range.
Simple Moving Average vs. Exponential Moving Average
The major difference between an exponential moving average (EMA) and a simple moving average is the sensitivity each one shows to changes in the data used in its calculation. More specifically, the EMA gives a higher weighting to recent prices, while the SMA assigns an equal weighting to all values."
Source: www.investopedia.com
In this indicator, I've included 6 popular moving averages that are commonly used. Most traders will find specific settings for their own personal trading style.
Along with the EMA and SMA, another indicator that is good for finding confluence between these two is the Ichimoku Cloud.
" What is the Ichimoku Cloud?
The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on the chart. It also uses these figures to compute a "cloud" which attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s.1 It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals."
More info can be seen here: www.investopedia.com
I have changed the default settings on the Ichimoku to suit cryptocurrency trading (as cryptocurrency is usually fast and thus require slightly longer lookbacks) to 20 60 120 30.
Along with the Ichimoku, I like to use Bollinger Bands to not only find confluence for support and resistance but for price discovery targets and trend strength.
" What Is a Bollinger Band®?
A Bollinger Band® is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security's price, but which can be adjusted to user preferences.
Bollinger Bands® were developed and copyrighted by famous technical trader John Bollinger, designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold or overbought."
This article goes into great detail of the complexities of using the Bollinger band and how to use it.

This indicator combines all these powerful indicators into one so that it is easier to input different settings, turn specific tools on or off and can be easily customised.
SMA&BOLL脚本用来将sma和布林带统一呈现, 方便及时捕捉价格的走势与波动区间. 只要简单地修改SMA的两条线, 布林带的中间线同时作为SMA的第三条长周期参考线也作为布林带的基础计算曲线, 一线双用节省资源.
The script is used to present the sma and Bollinger bands in a unified manner, which is convenient to capture the price trend and fluctuation range in time. Just simply modify the two lines of the SMA, and the middle line of the Bollinger bands serves as the third long-period reference line of the SMA and also serves as the Bollinger bands The basic calculation curve, one-line dual-use saves resources.
Bollinger Bands strategy with RSI and MACD v1.0 This is a strategy based on the Bollinger Bands, where buy trades are made when the price crosses the lower line of the Bollinger Bands upwards, and sell trades are made when the price crosses the upper line downwards.
In addition, it is possible through the inputs to enable trading with RSI and MACD, so that buy or sell trades are supported by these two indicators.
Trades are partially and fully closed in the following way, a buy trade will close half of the position when the price touches the middle line of the Bollinger bands and will be fully closed when the price touches the upper band. In the case of a sell position, half of the position will be closed if the price touches the middle band and the entire position will be closed when the price touches the lower band. Alternatively, a fixed take profit can be placed. In case the price moves against us, trailing stops can be placed.
In case of selecting to use RSI, MACD, or MACD variation, trades will be executed as long as The Bollinger Bands, and all the above-mentioned indicators give the same signals, either buy or sell.
For example in the case of selecting only Use RSI, buy trades would be made as long as RSI and BB give buy signals.
Strategy inputs:
-BB source: Bollinger Bands price source.
-Bollinger Bands SMA length: Bollinger Bands simple moving average length.
-Bollinger Bands StdDev length: Bollinger Bands standard deviation length.
-Trail Long Loss (%): Distance in percentage at which the stop loss will initially be placed for buy trades.
-Trail Short Loss (%): Distance in percentage at which the stop loss will be initially placed for sell trades.
-Maximum orders: Maximum of simultaneous operations, for example, if it is 3, up to 3 parallel operations of buy and up to 3 parallel operations of sell will be carried out.
-Position size: Number of contracts per trade.
-Use RSI: If selected, the strategy will also trade based on oversold or overbought signals provided by the RSI.
-RSI source: RSI price source.
-RSI period: The RSI period to use.
-RSI value for buy: If the RSI is below this value, it will give a buy signal.
-RSI value for sell: If the RSI value is above this value, it will give a sell signal.
-Use MACD: If selected, buy trades will be made when the MACD crosses 0 upwards, and sell trades will be made when the MACD crosses 0 downwards.
-Use MACD variation: Only available if MACD is previously selected. In this case, buy trades are made if the MACD value in the last 3 candles has been decreasing, and sell trades are made if the MACD value has been increasing.
-MACD source: MACD price source.
-MACD fast length: MACD fast EMA lenght.
-MACD slow length: MACD slow EMA lenght.
-MACD signal length: MACD signal EMA lenght.
-Use maximum TP long: If selected, a fixed take profit will be placed for buy trades. The position could be closed before reaching this take profit if the price touches one of the lower or upper lines first.
-Maximum take profit long (%): Distance in percentage at which the take profit will be placed for buy trades.
-Use maximum TP short: if selected, a fixed take profit will be placed for sell trades. The position could be closed before reaching this take profit if the price touches one of the lower or upper lines first.
-Maximum take profit short (%): Distance in percentage at which the take profit will be set for sell trades.
I hope you like it and as always all feedback is welcome.
Bollinger DCA v1Simple "benchmark" strategy for ETFs, Stocks and Crypto! Super-easy to implement for beginners, a BTD (buy-the-dip) strategy means that you buy a fixed amount of an ETF / Stock / Crypto every time it falls. For instance, to BTD the S&P 500 ( SPY ), you could purchase $500 USD each time the price falls. Assuming the macro-economic conditions of the underlying country remain favourable, BTD strategies will result in capital gains over a period of many years, e.g. 10 years.
Recommended Chart Settings:
Asset Class: ETF / Stocks / Crypto
Time Frame: H1 (Hourly) / D1 (Daily) / W1 (Weekly) / M1 (Monthly)
Necessary ETF Macro Conditions:
1. Country must have healthy demographics, good ratio of young > old
2. Country population must be increasing
3. Country must be experiencing price-inflation
Necessary Stock Conditions:
1. Growing revenue
2. Growing net income
3. Consistent net margins
4. Higher gross/net profit margin compared to its peers in the industry
5. Growing share holders equity
6. Current ratios > 1
7. Debt to equity ratio (compare to peers )
8. Debt servicing ratio < 30%
9. Wide economic moat
10. Products and services used daily, and will stay relevant for at least 1 decade
Necessary Crypto Conditions:
1. Honest founders
2. Competent technical co-founders
3. Fair or non-existent pre-mine
4. Solid marketing and PR
5. Legitimate use-cases / adoption
Default Robot Settings:
Contribution (USD): $500
When: Dips below lower Bollinger Band
*Robot buys $500 worth of ETF , Stock, Crypto, every time price falls below the lower Bollinger Band
*Equity curve can be seen from the bottom panel*
Risk Warning:
This strategy is low-risk, however it assumes you have a long time horizon of at least 5 to 10 years. The longer your holding-period, the better your returns. The only thing the user has to keep-in-mind are the macro-economic conditions as stated above. If unsure, please stick to ETFs rather than buying individual stocks or cryptocurrencies.
GSO + RSI + MACD + MFI + Bollinger BandsThis script uses a Gann Swing Oscillator , RSI , MACD , MFI and Bollinger Bands to generate long and short signals for cryptocurrencies on the 5 minute chart.
The Gann Swing Oscillator was inspired by HPotter's GSO.

Bollinger Bands Clouds - BB CloudsBollinger Bands Clouds provides Bollinger Bands of different timeframes in a chart.
It actually shows BB from a new angles.
This indicator can show three BB from different timeframes simultaneously.
The idea is to be able to combine different levels of BB from other timeframes in one chart
Each cloud is a Bollinger band whose time frame is a multiple of the current chart time frame. If this multiplier is set to 1, its Bollinger bands will be drawn for the current time frame and will be no different from normal Bollinger bands.
This indicator can be suitable for fractal perspective.
Multipliers can be changed from within the indicator settings:
settings -> mult1, mult2 and mult3
For a dark theme, enable the Dark Theme option from the indicator settings.
Asynchronous Bollinger Bands - Async BBThis indicator allows you to draw Bollinger bands using higher timeframes.
Note: The timer of your Bollinger Bands must be a multiple of the current chart of the chart.
For example: If your chart is 4 h and you set the sync value to 3, the Bollinger Bands will be drawn with a 12H time frame. 3 * 4H = 12
If the sync is equal to 1, normal Bollinger bands are drawn and will be no different from the normal Bollinger band .
Using this indicator may be appropriate for fractal perspectives.
Weighted stdev/BBThe basis/mean is the equivalent to the pine built in function wma(). It assigns greater weighting to recent data points and less weighting on past data points. The weighted moving average is calculated by multiplying each observation in the data set by a predetermined weighting factor.
Similarly the stdev is calculated using the same weighting factors where recent deviations are given greater weight than past deviations.
Durbtrade Bollinger Bands WidthFirst published script. Actually, this is my 1st script ever! I know its not flashy or anything, but I finally decided to try learning some pine... and to try and get rid of the dang 0 on my profile, haha. So here are the results after many hours.
I like using the BB Width indicator, and I wanted it to change color based on whether is was rising or falling. I also have it to automatically plot a horizontal line at 0 so I don't have to draw a line every time I apply the indicator to a new chart. And I changed the default precision to 3.
I noticed that there aren't that many BB Width scripts. and I don't think there is anything like this out there that I know of, so I hope someone else besides me will find it useful.
Please feel free to comment.

Inverse BandsThis was the result of quite some time spent examining how much information could be gleamed by studying the interactions between Keltner Channels, STARC Bands and Bollinger Bands. I was surprised by the results.
First of all, there are four fills that are black. Set the transparency of those to 0 and you'll see this indicator the way that it's meant to be seen. Those fills belong to unused sections of the Bollinger Bands.
There are two clouds which represent STARC Bands and the Keltner Channel. There is some delay when they flip from bullish (green) to bearish (red), but they are indicative of the trend. The space between them is black and the narrower that space is, the greater volatility is. Because of this, we don't need the exterior Bollinger Bands.
The Bollinger Bands remain visible as the yellow interior clouds on the top cloud and the blue interior clouds on the bottom cloud. Often, the thicker the yellow or blue cloud is, the less severe a throwback from a given trend reversal will be. Often the thinner that yellow or blue cloud is, the more severe the trend reversal will be. If price is rising into a thin interior yellow cloud, the following dip will be substantial. If price action dips towards a thicker interior blue cloud, often the pump following that dump will be less enthusiastic.
We preserve the Keltner Channel and STARC bands as our cloud because the way that they interact with the three basis lines yields a lot of information.
The yellow Bollinger basis line tells us about trend strength. The closer the BB basis line is to the top of the top cloud or the bottom of the bottom cloud, the stronger the trend is. When it enters the cloud very close to the bottom of the bottom cloud, you know you're looking at a strong pump, and vice versa when it's close to the top of the top cloud.
The purple Keltner Channel basis line and orange STARC Band basis line can forecast short term trend changes one candlestick in advance by contacting any line in either cloud. The moment either basis line touches or crosses any boundary of the clouds, you know that the next candle will change directions. In an uptrend, a touch or cross means the next candle will have a lower high point. In a downtrend, a cross or touch means the next candle will have a higher high point. This is most useful in scalping.
It'd be pretty easy to slap some crossover alerts on to this and useful considering that they come a candle in advance. Feel free to further explore and develop this.
Bollinger Bands Trending Reverse StrategyWelcome to yet another script. This script was a lot easier since I was stuck for so long on the Donchian Channels one and learned so much from that one that I could use in this one.
This code should be a lot cleaner compared to the Donchian Channels, but we'll leave that up to the pro's.
This strategy has two entry signals, long = when price hits lower band, while above EMA, previous candle was bearish and current candle is bullish.
Short = when price hits upper band, while below EMA, previous candle was bullish and current candle is bearish.
Take profits are the opposite side's band(lower band for long signals, upper band for short signals). This means our take profit price will change per bar.
Our stop loss doesn't change, it's the difference between entry price and the take profit target divided by the input risk reward.

Start Date, Month, Year and End Date, Month and Year all apply to the backtesting window. By default it will use as much data as it can given the current period select (there is less historical data available for periods below 1H) back as far as 2016 (there appears to be no historical data on Trading view much before this). If you would like to test a different period of time, just change these values accordingly.
