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.
Entropy Bands (TechnoBlooms)Entropy Bands — A New Era of Volatility and Trend Analysis
Entropy Bands is our next indicator as a part of the Quantum Price Theory (QPT) Series of indicators.
🧠 Overview
Entropy Bands are an advanced volatility-based indicator that reimagines traditional banded systems like Bollinger Bands.
Built on entropy theory, adaptive moving averages, and dynamic volatility measurement, Entropy Bands provide deeper insights into market randomness, trend strength, and breakout potential.
Instead of only relying on price deviation (like Bollinger Bands), Entropy Bands integrate chaos theory principles to create smarter, more responsive dynamic bands that adapt to real market behavior.
🚀Why is Entropy Bands Different — and Better
Dynamic Band Width : Adjusts using both entropy and ATR, creating smarter expansion/contraction.
Multi-Moving Average Core : Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA for optimal centerline behavior.
Noise and Breakout Filtering : Filters fake breakouts by analyzing candle body size and entropy conditions.
Visual Clarity : Background and candle coloring highlight chaotic/noisy zones, trend zones, and breakout moments.
Entropy Bands don't just react to price — they analyze the underlying market behavior, offering superior decision-making signals.
📚 Watch Band Behavior:
Bands expand during volatility spikes or chaotic conditions.
Bands contract during low volatility or tight consolidation zones.
📚 Analyze Candle Coloring:
Green = Bullish breakout (closing above upper band).
Pink = Bearish breakout (closing below lower band).
Gray = Inside bands (neutral/random noise).
✨ Key Features of Entropy Bands:
Entropy-Based Band Width Calculation: A scientific edge over pure price deviation methods.
Dynamic Background Coloring: Highlights high entropy areas where randomness dominates.
Candle Breakout Coloring: Easy-to-spot trend breakouts and strength moves.
Multi-MA Flexibility: Adapt the bands’ core to trending, ranging, or volatile markets.
Body Size Filter: Protects against fake breakouts by requiring meaningful candle body moves.
TrendWave Bands [BigBeluga]This is a trend-following indicator that dynamically adapts to market trends using upper and lower bands. It visually highlights trend strength and duration through color intensity while providing additional wave bands for deeper trend analysis.

Holt-Winters Forecast BandsDescription:
The Holt-Winters Adaptive Bands indicator combines seasonal trend forecasting with adaptive volatility bands. It uses the Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing model to project future price trends, while Nadaraya-Watson smoothed bands highlight dynamic support and resistance zones.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to predict future price movements and visualize potential market turning points. By focusing on broader seasonal and trend data, it provides insight into both short- and long-term market directions. It’s particularly effective for swing trading and medium-to-long-term trend analysis on timeframes like daily and 4-hour charts, although it can be adjusted for other timeframes.
Key Features:
Holt-Winters Forecast Line: The core of this indicator is the Holt-Winters model, which uses three components — level, trend, and seasonality — to project future prices. This model is widely used for time-series forecasting, and in this script, it provides a dynamic forecast line that predicts where price might move based on historical patterns.
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The shaded areas around the forecast line are based on Nadaraya-Watson smoothing of historical price data. These bands provide a visual representation of potential support and resistance levels, adapting to recent volatility in the market. The bands' fill colors (red for upper and green for lower) allow traders to identify potential reversal zones without cluttering the chart.
Dynamic Confidence Levels: The indicator adapts its forecast based on market volatility, using inputs such as average true range (ATR) and price deviations. This means that in high-volatility conditions, the bands may widen to account for increased price movements, helping traders gauge the current market environment.
How to Use:
Forecasting: Use the forecast line to gain insight into potential future price direction. This line provides a directional bias, helping traders anticipate whether the price may continue along a trend or reverse.
Support and Resistance Zones: The shaded bands act as dynamic support and resistance zones. When price enters the upper (red) band, it may be in an overbought area, while the lower (green) band may indicate oversold conditions. These bands adjust with volatility, so they reflect the current market conditions rather than fixed levels.
Timeframe Recommendations:
This indicator performs best on daily and 4-hour charts due to its reliance on trend and seasonality. It can be used on lower timeframes, but accuracy may vary due to increased price noise.
For traders looking to capture swing trades, the daily and 4-hour timeframes provide a balance of trend stability and signal reliability.
Adjustable Settings:
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma: These settings control the level, trend, and seasonality components of the forecast. Alpha is generally the most sensitive setting for adjusting responsiveness to recent price movements, while Beta and Gamma help fine-tune the trend and seasonal adjustments.
Band Smoothing and Deviation: These settings control the lookback period and width of the volatility bands, allowing users to customize how closely the bands follow price action.
Parameters:
Prediction Length: Sets the length of the forecast, determining how far into the future the prediction line extends.
Season Length: Defines the seasonality cycle. A setting of 14 is typical for bi-weekly cycles, but this can be adjusted based on observed market cycles.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma: These parameters adjust the Holt-Winters model's sensitivity to recent prices, trends, and seasonal patterns.
Band Smoothing: Determines the smoothing applied to the bands, making them either more reactive or smoother.
Ideal Use Cases:
Swing Trading and Trend Following: The Holt-Winters model is particularly suited for capturing larger market trends. Use the forecast line to determine trend direction and the bands to gauge support/resistance levels for potential entries or exits.
Identifying Reversal Zones: The adaptive bands act as dynamic overbought and oversold zones, giving traders potential reversal areas when price reaches these levels.
Important Notes:
No Buy/Sell Signals: This indicator does not produce direct buy or sell signals. It’s intended for visual trend analysis and support/resistance identification, leaving trade decisions to the user.
Not for High-Frequency Trading: Due to the nature of the Holt-Winters model, this indicator is optimized for higher timeframes like the daily and 4-hour charts. It may not be suitable for high-frequency or scalping strategies on very short timeframes.
Adjust for Volatility: If using the indicator on lower timeframes or more volatile assets, consider adjusting the band smoothing and prediction length settings for better responsiveness.
Volatility Trend Bands [UAlgo]The Volatility Trend Bands is a trend-following indicator that combines the concepts of volatility and trend detection. Built using the Average True Range (ATR) to measure volatility, this indicator dynamically adjusts upper and lower bands around price movements. The bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, making it easier to identify trend shifts and potential entry and exit points.
With the ATR multiplier, this indicator effectively captures volatility-based shifts in the market. The use of midline values allows for accurate trend detection, which is displayed through color-coded signals on the chart. Additionally, this tool provides clear buy and sell signals, accompanied by intuitive graphical markers for ease of use.
The Volatility Trend Bands is ideal for traders seeking an adaptive trend-following method that responds to changing market conditions while maintaining robust volatility control.
🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Support and Resistance: The indicator utilizes volatility to create dynamic bands. The upper band acts as resistance, and the lower band acts as support for the price. Wider bands indicate higher volatility, while narrower bands indicate lower volatility.
Customizable Inputs
You can tailor the indicator to your strategy by adjusting the:
Price Source: Select the price data (e.g., closing price) used for calculations.
ATR Length: Define the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) volatility measure.
ATR Multiplier: This factor controls the width of the volatility bands relative to the ATR value.
Color Options: Choose colors for the bands and signal arrows for better visualization.
Visual Signals: Arrows ("▲" for buy, "▼" for sell) appear on the chart when the trend changes, providing clear entry point indications.
Alerts: Integrated alerts for both buy and sell conditions, allowing you to receive notifications for potential trade opportunities.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper and lower bands are dynamic, adjusting based on market volatility using the ATR. These bands serve as adaptive support and resistance levels. When price breaks above the upper band, it indicates a potential bullish breakout, signaling a strong uptrend. Conversely, a break below the lower band signals a bearish breakout, indicating a downtrend.
Buy/Sell Signals: The indicator provides clear buy and sell signals at breakout points. A buy signal ("▲") is generated when the price breaks above the upper band, suggesting the start of a bullish trend. A sell signal ("▼") is triggered when the price breaks below the lower band, indicating the beginning of a bearish trend. These signals help traders identify potential entry and exit points at key breakout levels.
Color-Coded Bars: The bars on the chart change color based on the trend direction. Teal bars represent bullish momentum, while purple bars signify bearish momentum. This color coding provides a quick visual cue about the market's current direction.

The "RSI with Bollinger Bands Scalp Strategy (1min)" is a highly effective tool designed for traders who engage in short-term scalping on the 1-minute chart. This indicator combines the strengths of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and Bollinger Bands to generate precise buy signals, helping traders make quick and informed decisions in fast-moving markets.
How It Works:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is a widely-used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It operates on a scale of 0 to 100 and helps identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market.
This strategy allows customization of the RSI's lower and upper bands (default settings: 30 for the lower band and 70 for the upper band) and the RSI length (default: 14).
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands consist of a central moving average (the basis) and two bands that represent standard deviations above and below the basis. These bands expand and contract based on market volatility.
In this strategy, the Bollinger Bands are used to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the price's relationship to the upper and lower bands.
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when two conditions are met:
The RSI value falls below the specified lower band, indicating an oversold condition.
The price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
The buy signal is then issued on the first positive candle (where the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price) after these conditions are met.
Sell Signal: In this version of the strategy, the sell signal is currently disabled to focus solely on generating and optimizing the buy signals for scalping.
Strategy Highlights:
This indicator is particularly effective for traders who focus on 1-minute charts and want to capitalize on rapid price movements.
The combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands ensures that buy signals are only generated during significant oversold conditions, helping to filter out false signals.
Customization:
Users can adjust the RSI length, Bollinger Bands length, and the standard deviation multiplier to better fit their specific trading style and the asset they are trading.
The moving average type for Bollinger Bands can be selected from various options, including SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, and VWMA, allowing further customization based on individual preferences.
Usage:
Use this indicator on a 1-minute chart to identify potential buy opportunities during short-term price dips.
Since the sell signals are disabled, this strategy is best used in conjunction with other indicators or strategies to manage exit points effectively.
This "RSI with Bollinger Bands Scalp Strategy (1min)" indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to enhance their short-term trading performance by focusing on high-probability entry points in volatile market conditions.

Look for patterns, and exploit them to your advantage to give you another edge in trading.
>> Feel free to suggest changes or other additions in the comments :)
Here's a brief explanation of how this indicator works:
1. **Moving Average Type:** You can select the type of moving average (MA) to use from the dropdown menu. The available options are Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
2. **Bollinger Bands Deviation:** This input allows you to adjust the deviation for the Bollinger Bands. Higher values increase the width of the bands, while lower values decrease it.
3. **Moving Average Lengths:** The script calculates various moving averages (WMA, SMA, or EMA) with different lengths, ranging from 5 to 100, in increments of 5. These moving averages are used to create the ribbon.
4. **Ribbon Calculation:** The indicator calculates the selected moving average (WMA, SMA, or EMA) for each of the specified lengths. It then averages these moving averages to create a ribbon of MAs. This ribbon represents a smoother and more encompassing view of the underlying price action.
5. **Bollinger Bands:** The script also calculates and plots Bollinger Bands based on the ribbon's average. The upper Bollinger Band (green) and lower Bollinger Band (red) are plotted around the ribbon average. These bands provide insights into potential overbought and oversold conditions.
In summary, this indicator allows traders and analysts to visualize a weighted moving average ribbon with Bollinger Bands to gain a better understanding of price trends, volatility, and potential reversal points in the market. The combination of different moving average lengths and Bollinger Bands can help in making informed trading decisions.
Elliptic bands
Why Elliptic?
Unlike traditional indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands with constant standard deviation multiples), the elliptic model introduces a cyclical, non-linear variation in band width. This reflects the idea that price movements often follow rhythmic patterns, widening and narrowing in a predictable yet dynamic way, akin to natural market cycles.
Buy: When the price enters from below (green triangle).
Sell: When the price enters from above (red triangle).
Inputs
MA Length: 50 (This is the period for the central Simple Moving Average (SMA).)
Cycle Period: 50 (This is the elliptic cycle length.)
Volatility Multiplier: 2.0 (This value scales the band width.)
Mathematical Foundation
The indicator is based on the ellipse equation. The basic formula is:
Ellipse Equation:
(x^2) / (a^2) + (y^2) / (b^2) = 1
Solving for y:
y = b * sqrt(1 - (x^2) / (a^2))
Parameters Explained:
a: Set to 1 (normalized).
x: Varies from -1 to 1 over the period.
b: Calculated as:
ta.stdev(close, MA Length) * Volatility Multiplier
(This represents the standard deviation of the close prices over the MA period, scaled by the volatility multiplier.)
y (offset): Represents the band distance from the moving average, forming the elliptic cycle.
Behavior
Bands:
The bands are narrow at the cycle edges (when the offset is 0) and become widest at the midpoint (when the offset equals b).
Trend:
The central moving average (MA) shows the overall trend direction, while the bands adjust according to the volatility.
Signals:
Standard buy and sell signals are generated when the price interacts with the bands.
Practical Use
Trend Identification:
If the price is above the MA, it indicates an uptrend; if below, a downtrend.
Support and Resistance:
The elliptic bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Narrowing bands may signal potential trend reversals.
Breakouts:
Fibonacci Bands [BigBeluga]The Fibonacci Band indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones based on Fibonacci ratios. It overlays three sets of Fibonacci ratio bands (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) around a central trend line, dynamically adapting to price movements. This structure enables traders to track trends, visualize potential liquidity sweep areas, and spot reversal points for strategic entries and exits.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Fibonacci Bands for Support & Resistance:
The Fibonacci Band indicator applies three key Fibonacci ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) to construct dynamic bands around a smoothed price. These levels often act as critical support and resistance areas, marked with labels displaying the percentage and corresponding price. The 100% band level is especially crucial, signaling potential liquidity sweep zones and reversal points.
Mean Reversion Signals at 100% Bands:
When price moves above or below the 100% band, the indicator generates mean reversion signals.
Trend Detection with Midline:
The central line acts as a trend-following tool: when solid, it indicates an uptrend, while a dashed line signals a downtrend. This adaptive midline helps traders assess the prevailing market direction while keeping the chart clean and intuitive.
Extended Price Projections:
All Fibonacci bands extend to future bars (default 30) to project potential price levels, providing a forward-looking perspective on where price may encounter support or resistance. This feature helps traders anticipate market structure in advance and set targets accordingly.
Liquidity Sweep:
--
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Lows:
The price action moves below a previous low, capturing sell-side liquidity (stop-losses from long positions or entries for breakout traders).
The wick suggests that the price quickly reversed, leaving a failed breakout below support.
This is a classic liquidity grab, often indicating a bullish reversal .
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Highs:
The price spikes above a prior high, sweeping buy-side liquidity (stop-losses from short positions or breakout entries).
The wick signifies rejection, suggesting a failed breakout above resistance.
This is a bearish liquidity sweep , often followed by a mean reversion or a downward move.
Display Customization:
To declutter the chart, traders can choose to hide Fibonacci levels and only display overbought/oversold zones along with the trend-following midline and mean reversion signals. This option enables a clearer focus on key reversal areas without additional distractions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Period Length: Adjust the length of the smoothed moving average for more reactive or smoother bands.
Channel Width: Customize the width of the Fibonacci channel.
Fibonacci Ratios: Customize the Fibonacci ratios to reflect personal preference or unique market behaviors.
Future Projection Extension: Set the number of bars to extend Fibonacci bands, allowing flexibility in projecting price levels.
Hide Fibonacci Levels: Toggle the visibility of Fibonacci levels for a cleaner chart focused on overbought/oversold regions and midline trend signals.
Liquidity Sweep: Toggle the visibility of Liquidity Sweep points
The Fibonacci Band indicator provides traders with an advanced framework for analyzing market structure, liquidity sweeps, and trend reversals. By integrating Fibonacci-based levels with trend detection and mean reversion signals, this tool offers a robust approach to navigating dynamic price action and finding high-probability trading opportunities.

Bollinger Bands consist of an upper band, lower band, and a middle line (Simple Moving Average). These bands adapt to market volatility, expanding during high volatility and contracting during low volatility.
This indicator monitors the 15-minute Bollinger Bands. If the price moves completely outside the bands, it signals that the market is potentially overextended.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. RSI readings above 70 indicate an overbought condition, while readings below 30 suggest an oversold condition.
This indicator uses the RSI on the 15-minute time frame to further confirm overbought and oversold conditions.
Buy/Sell Signal Generation:
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is triggered when the market price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band on the 15-minute time frame, indicating that the market may be oversold.
Additionally, the RSI must be below 30, confirming an oversold condition.
A "Buy" label appears below the price when this condition is met.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is triggered when the market price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band on the 15-minute time frame, indicating that the market may be overbought.
The RSI must be above 70, confirming an overbought condition.
A "Sell" label appears above the price when this condition is met.
VWAP Stdev Bands Strategy (Long Only)The VWAP Stdev Bands Strategy (Long Only) is designed to identify potential long entry points in trending markets by utilizing the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and standard deviation bands. This strategy focuses on capturing upward price movements, leveraging statistical measures to determine optimal buy conditions.
Key Features:
VWAP Calculation: The strategy calculates the VWAP, which represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, weighted by volume. This is an essential indicator for determining the overall market trend.
Standard Deviation Bands: Two bands are created above and below the VWAP, calculated using specified standard deviations. These bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, providing insight into price volatility and potential reversal points.
Trading Logic:
Long Entry Condition: A long position is triggered when the price crosses below the lower standard deviation band and then closes above it, signaling a potential price reversal to the upside.
Profit Target: The strategy allows users to set a predefined profit target, closing the long position once the specified target is reached.
Time Gap Between Orders: A customizable time gap can be specified to prevent multiple orders from being placed in quick succession, allowing for a more controlled trading approach.
Visualization: The VWAP and standard deviation bands are plotted on the chart with distinct colors, enabling traders to visually assess market conditions. The strategy also provides optional plotting of the previous day's VWAP for added context.
Use Cases:
Ideal for traders looking to engage in long-only positions within trending markets.
Suitable for intraday trading strategies or longer-term approaches based on market volatility.
Customization Options:
Users can adjust the standard deviation values, profit target, and time gap to tailor the strategy to their specific trading style and market conditions.
Note: As with any trading strategy, it is important to conduct thorough backtesting and analysis before live trading. Market conditions can change, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
TMA Bands with Break Arrow @ClearTradingMind
The "TMA Bands with Break Arrow" indicator, developed by ClearTradingMind, is designed to provide traders with insights into potential trend reversals based on the movement of price within a channel defined by the Triangular Moving Average (TMA) and its bands. The TMA is a smoothed moving average, and this indicator adds upper and lower bands to visualize potential breakouts.
Key Components:
1. TMA Bands: The indicator plots the upper and lower bands of the TMA channel. These bands represent potential overbought (upper band) and oversold (lower band) conditions.
2. Break Arrows: The indicator generates buy (green triangle up) and sell (red triangle down) arrows when the closing price breaks above the upper band or below the lower band, indicating a potential trend reversal.
3. Background Color: The background color dynamically changes based on the last generated signal. A blue background suggests a recent buy signal, while a red background indicates a recent sell signal. This provides a quick visual reference for the prevailing market sentiment.
Usage:
1. Trend Reversals: Traders can use the buy and sell arrows as signals for potential trend reversals. A buy signal suggests a possible upward trend, while a sell signal suggests a potential downward trend.
2. Channel Breakouts: Watch for price breaking above the upper band (buy signal) or below the lower band (sell signal). These breakouts may indicate the start of a new trend.
3. Volatility Analysis: The width of the TMA channel represents volatility. A widening channel suggests increased volatility, while a narrowing channel suggests decreasing volatility.
4. Background Color: The background color provides additional context. A blue background indicates recent bullish sentiment, while a red background suggests recent bearish sentiment.
Parameters:
- TMA Period: The number of bars used to calculate the Triangular Moving Average.
- ATR Period: The number of bars used to calculate the Average True Range (ATR) for determining the width of the TMA channel.
- ATR Multiplier: A multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the width of the TMA channel.
Note: This indicator is a tool to assist traders in their analysis, and it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis methods for more comprehensive decision-making.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and this indicator does not guarantee profit. Users should conduct thorough analysis and risk management before making trading decisions.
Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands# Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands
## Overview
The Gamma + Fibonacci EMA Bands indicator combines two powerful analytical approaches: Gamma-weighted Exponential Moving Averages and Fibonacci sequence-based standard EMAs. This dual system creates a comprehensive "band" structure that helps identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversal zones with greater precision than single moving average systems.
## Features
- **Gamma-weighted EMAs**: Three customizable Gamma EMAs (fast-responding) with adjustable gamma parameters
- **Fibonacci Sequence EMAs**: Six standard EMAs based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377)
- **Visual Band Structure**: Color-coded for instant visual analysis
- **Trend Confirmation**: Multiple timeframe validation through varied moving average periods
- **Support/Resistance Identification**: Natural price reaction zones highlighted by EMA confluences
## How It Works
The indicator uses two complementary EMA systems:
1. **Gamma EMAs** (γ-EMAs) - These responsive moving averages use a direct gamma weighting factor (between 0-1) rather than a period length. Lower gamma values create smoother lines, while higher values create more responsive ones. These react quickly to price changes and serve as short-term trend indicators.
2. **Fibonacci EMAs** - These traditional EMAs use period lengths based on the Fibonacci sequence (34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377). They provide longer-term trend context and naturally identify key support/resistance levels that align with market psychology.
## Interpretation
### Trend Direction
- When price is above all bands: Strong bullish trend
- When price is below all bands: Strong bearish trend
- When price is between bands: Consolidation or trend transition
### Support/Resistance
- Gamma EMAs (purple shades): Short-term dynamic support/resistance
- Fibonacci EMAs (orange/red shades): Stronger, longer-term support/resistance
### Trend Strength
- Wider band separation: Stronger trend momentum
- Compressed bands: Consolidation or trend weakness
### Reversal Signals
- Price breaking through multiple bands: Potential trend reversal
- Gamma EMAs crossing Fibonacci EMAs: Changing momentum
## Settings
- **Source**: Price data source (default: close)
- **Gamma 1**: Fast γ-EMA value (default: 0.2)
- **Gamma 2**: Medium γ-EMA value (default: 0.5)
- **Gamma 3**: Slow γ-EMA value (default: 0.8)
## Notes
This indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H+) and liquid markets. The Gamma-weighted EMAs provide faster signals while the Fibonacci sequence EMAs provide reliable support/resistance levels that often align with key market turning points.
For optimal use, watch for price interaction with these bands and how the bands interact with each other to confirm trend changes before they become obvious to the majority of market participants.

MegaGas Bollinger Bands with Divergence and Circle SignalsIndicator: MegaGas Bollinger Bands with Divergence and Circle Signals
This script provides a powerful combination of Bollinger Bands, RSI Divergence detection, and signal visualization tools. Designed with flexibility and precision in mind, it aims to assist traders in identifying trend reversals, volatility zones, and divergence-based trading opportunities. The script is well-suited for swing trading, momentum trading, and even scalping when adapted to lower timeframes.
How It Works:
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are used to detect price volatility and overbought/oversold conditions. The script calculates:
Basis Line: A 34-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the core trend line.
Upper Bands: Bands positioned 1x and 2x the standard deviation above the SMA.
Lower Bands: Bands positioned 1x and 2x the standard deviation below the SMA. These levels provide dynamic support and resistance zones, highlighting breakout and reversion opportunities.
RSI Divergence Detection:
The indicator detects bullish divergence (when RSI forms a higher low while price forms a lower low) and bearish divergence (when RSI forms a lower high while price forms a higher high). These divergences often precede significant reversals or momentum shifts.
Bullish divergence is displayed with blue triangles (up).
Bearish divergence is displayed with orange triangles (down).
Buy and Sell Signals:
Circle Signals are generated when price crosses key Bollinger Bands levels:
A green circle appears when the price crosses above the lower band (potential buy signal).
A red circle appears when the price crosses below the upper band (potential sell signal).
These signals help identify potential entry and exit points for trades, particularly in trend-following or mean-reversion strategies.
Trend Reference (Moving Average):
A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is included as a trend reference, helping traders gauge the overall market direction. Use this to confirm divergence signals and avoid trades against the prevailing trend.
Why This Indicator Is Unique:
This script integrates multiple tools in a meaningful way, emphasizing contextual trading signals. Unlike standalone Bollinger Bands or RSI indicators, it introduces:
Advanced Divergence Analysis: Enhancing traditional RSI with divergence-based alerts.
Dynamic Signal Filtering: Preventing repetitive signals by introducing state-based logic for circles and divergence signals.
Trend Alignment: Combining Bollinger Bands with an SMA to filter trades based on the prevailing trend.
How to Use:
Setup:
Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe. For swing trading, higher timeframes like 4H or 1D are recommended.
Adjust the RSI, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Average lengths to match your strategy and asset.
Signals:
Look for divergence signals (triangles) as early warnings of trend reversals. Confirm these with price action or other tools.
Use circle signals (green/red) to time potential entries/exits around Bollinger Band extremes.
Confirmation:
Combine divergence and circle signals with the SMA line to avoid counter-trend trades. For example, take bullish signals when the price is above the SMA and bearish signals when it is below.
Chart Clarity:
The script is published with a clean chart for clarity. It visualizes all signals with distinct shapes (triangles and circles) and colors, ensuring they are easily recognizable. Bollinger Bands and the SMA are plotted with transparency to avoid clutter.
Originality:
This script is a thoughtful blend of Bollinger Bands and RSI divergence detection, carefully designed to provide traders with actionable insights. It introduces state-based logic to manage repetitive signals and seamlessly integrates trend filtering, making it a valuable tool for both novice and experienced traders.

K Bands v2 is designed to be adaptable across any market or timeframe, helping visualize price
structure, trend, and volatility behavior.
Dynamic Adaptive Regression BandsThis script provides a dynamic adaptive regression band indicator that adjusts based on recent market volatility. The regression bands are calculated using a length parameter adapted to the ATR (Average True Range) to ensure responsiveness to market conditions.
Key Features:
Dynamic Length Adjustment: The length of the regression calculation is adjusted based on the ATR to reflect current market volatility.
Multiple Bands: The script plots upper and lower bands at different ratios (1.618, 2.618, and 4.236) to provide comprehensive support and resistance levels.
Detailed Fillings: The areas between bands are filled with different colors to visualize different levels of volatility and trend strength.
Usage:
Regression Line: The main regression line follows the general trend of the price.
Upper/Lower Bands: These bands represent volatility-adjusted support and resistance levels.
Extended Bands: Additional bands at different ratios provide extended support and resistance zones for further trend analysis.
Original Script Credit:
This script is inspired by the original "Regr Linear Bands" script by MarcoValente, published on Jan 15, 2017. The original script starts from a linear regression and uses Fibonacci parameters to add bands above and below. The original work incorporates range and volatility, making the price move between bands of the same color. The middle line (linear regression) serves as a good signal; after a break occurs, the price typically moves to the last or second last band.
EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.

This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not. That being said if there's any question, improvements, or errors you've found, drop a comment below!
Dynamic Ray BandsAbout Dynamic Ray Bands
Dynamic Ray Bands is a volatility-adaptive envelope indicator that adjusts in real time to evolving market conditions. It uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) as its central trend reference, with upper and lower bands scaled according to current volatility measured by the Average True Range (ATR).
This creates a dynamic structure that visually frames price action, helping traders identify areas of potential trend continuation, overextension, or mean reversion.
How It Works
🟡 Centerline (DEMA)
The central yellow line is a Double Exponential Moving Average, which offers a smoother, less laggy trend signal than traditional moving averages. It represents the market’s short- to medium-term “equilibrium.”
🔵 Outer Bands
Plotted at:
Upper Band = DEMA + (ATR × outerMultiplier)
Lower Band = DEMA - (ATR × outerMultiplier)
These bands define the extreme bounds of current volatility. When price breaks above or below them, it can signal strong directional momentum or overbought/oversold conditions, depending on context. They're often used as trend breakout zones or to time exits after extended runs.
🟣 Inner Bands
Plotted closer to the DEMA:
Inner Upper = DEMA + (ATR × innerMultiplier)
Inner Lower = DEMA - (ATR × innerMultiplier)
These are preliminary volatility thresholds, offering early cues for potential expansion or reversal. They may be used for scalping, tight stop zones, or pre-breakout positioning.
🔁 Dynamic Width (Bands are Dynamically Adjusted Per Tick)
The width of both inner and outer bands is based on ATR (Average True Range), which is recalculated in real time. This means:
During high volatility, the bands expand, allowing for wider price fluctuations.
During low volatility, the bands contract, tightening range expectations.
Unlike fixed-width channels or standard Bollinger Bands (which use standard deviation), this per-tick adjustment via ATR enables Dynamic Ray Bands to reduce false signals in choppy markets and remain more reactive during trending conditions.
⚙️ Inputs
DMA Length — Period for the central DEMA.
ATR Length — Lookback used for ATR volatility calculations.
Outer Band Multiplier — Controls sensitivity of extreme bands.
Inner Band Multiplier — Controls proximity of inner bands.
Show Inner Bands — Toggle for plotting the inner zone.
🔔 Alerts
Alert conditions are included for:
Price closing above/below the outer bands (trend momentum or overextension)
Price closing above/below the inner bands (early signs of strength/weakness)
🧭 Use Cases
Breakout detection — Catch price continuation beyond the outer bands.
Volatility filtering — Adjust trade logic based on band width.
Mean reversion — Monitor for snapbacks toward the DEMA after price stretches too far.
Trend guidance — Use band slope and price position to confirm direction.
