BB Meow Mix (Lite) [acatwithwithcharts]

Nov 3, 2018

This is a stripped down, "lite" version of my BB Meow Mix script. The "lite" version is limited to using SMA and regular STDEV (ordinary BBands). It plots up to 4 custom BBands at once with a menu of built-in default period lengths and widths relevant to the strategy outlined in Mark Whistler's books "Macro to Micro" and "Volatility Illuminated".

Compared to BB Meow Mix, this script eschews a bunch of bells and whistles to create a faster-loading and more stable script for general use.



I am posting my scripts as invite-only and have a short list of collaborators in mind who will get access if they want it. It is not being made available to the general public as of this posting; I’m vaguely working towards eventually offering being able to offer some sort of paid indicator offering in the future. I’m not giving this away just to anyone who asks and will, for my own time and sanity, probably just ignore requests by people who don't come to me already knowing what this indicator does and how they might want to use it. This lite one in particular is just multiple BBands with defaults and color schemes chosen to not be indecipherable when layered over them, so I'm perhaps a lot more willing to grant requests on it.

Release Notes

Updated to change the attribution in the title from “acatwithcharts” to “SharkCharts.live”.

I'm excited to announce that we're putting the finishing touches on a subscription service for the volatility theory indicators, and assuming no hiccups will launch them within days. Subscriptions will be available in several packages through SharkCharts.live

Current pricing and subscription details will be kept up-to-date on SharkCharts.live

Release Notes

Based on subscriber feedback in our Discord, I've added a 1m and 15m 50/200 configuration for attempting to catch early signs of parabolic exhaustion as an additional default setting.

Given that this is a particularly speculative use case using an empirical observation from cryptocurrency on micro TF charts, I think it's particularly important here to warn people if they try to use this setting that (A) it shouldn't be done without checking charts on higher timeframes to make sure they aren't missing the forest for the trees, (B) micro TF scalping needs to consider whether trades still make sense from a R:R standpoint after accounting for fees, and (C) this use case was derived from the most liquid cryptocurrencies and particularly using spread charts and indexes which artificially imply even more liquidity than truly exists, so there are some inherent assumptions of continuous trading, extremely high liquidity, and relatively high volatility.

Release Notes

Realized I'd introduced a color bug on one of the defaults with my previous update - this update fixes that bug.

Release Notes

I'm making a round of updates to my scripts after testing some of the new Pinescript features and looking for ways to address loading issues that have arisen from changes over the past 6 months or so as to what thresholds cause scripts to fail on the back end.
