Bandwidth Bands - Silverman's rule of thumbWhat are Bandwidth Bands?
This indicator uses Silverman Rule of Thumb Bandwidth to estimate the width of bands around the rolling moving average which takes in the log transformation of price to remove most of price skewness for the rest of the volatility calculations and then a exp() function is performed to convert it back to a right skewed distribution. These bandwidths bands could offer insights into price volatility and trading extremes.
Silverman rule of thumb bandwidth:
The Silverman Rule of Thumb Bandwidth is a heuristic method used to estimate the optimal bandwidth for kernel density estimation, a statistical technique for estimating the probability density function of a random variable. In the context of financial analysis, such as in this indicator, it helps determine the width of bands around a moving average, providing insights into the level of volatility in the market. This method is particularly useful because it offers a quick and straightforward way to estimate bandwidth without requiring extensive computational resources or complex mathematical calculation
The bandwidth estimator automatically adjust to the characteristics of the data, providing a flexible and dynamic measure of dispersion that can capture variations in volatility over time. Standard deviations alone may not be as adaptive to changes in data distributions. The Bandwidth considers the overall shape and structure of the data distribution rather than just focusing on the spread of data points.

Band Based Trend FilterSimilar to RelativeBandwidthFilter , this script is also a simple trend filter which can be used to define your trading zone.
🎲 Concept
On contrary to reversal mindset, we define trend when price hits either side of the band. If close price hits upper band then it is considered as bullish and if close price hits lower band, then it is considered bearish. Further, trend strength is measured in terms of how many times the price hits one side of the band without hitting other side. Hit is counted only if price has touched middle line in between the touches. This way price walks on the bands are considered as just one hit.
🎲 Settings
Settings are minimal and details can be found in the tooltips against each parameters
🎲 Usage
This can be used with your own strategy to filter your trading/non-trading zones based on trend . Script plots a variable called "Trend" - which is not shown on chart pane. But, it is available in the data window. This can be used in another script as external input and apply logic.
Trend values can be
1 : Allow only Long
-1 : Allow only short
0 : Do not allow any trades
Bands Bands (BanB)This indicator uses bands to show the trend of other bands.
The middle bands are used to show the price trend and the other bands are for the middle bands.
The Spike and Plunge bands can also act as a sort of "Bollinger Bands" for middle bands, though not exactly.
----- HOW TO USE IT -----
Zoom out in the 30 minute chart. Use 15 minute chart to pinpoint your entries.
Use with price-action trading and with indicators showing overbought & oversold levels.
The numbers below correlate with the numbers in the chart.
1) Price hits the Middle Spike line. The "ARL" bands hit the Bottom Spike line. This is a good indication that price will proceed under the Bottom Spike line.
2) Price hits the Bottom Plunge line. The "ARL" bands hit the Middle Plunge line. This is a good indication that price will proceed above the Middle Plunge line.
3) Notice how price spikes up near the Spike lines but doesn't touch. Notice how the Plunge lines have a strong pull downwards. This shows a continued down trend.
4) The same pattern as numbers 2 & 3 reoccur. This time, however, the proceeding price spike is substantially lower.
5) The price and middle bands finally bounce off the Top Plunge line and starts to get closer to the Spike bands.
6) Price and middle bands finally touch the Bottom Spike line and the Spike Bands and the Plunge Bands come closer together.
7) Narrowing Spike and Plunge Bands show a sideways market. Notice number 1, the bands are far apart -- more volatility is present.
Middle Bands:
The bottom, blue lines are fairly accurate dip-rebounds on the 30 minute chart. Use level indicators to find reversing trends (e.g., RSI, Stoch, etc.).
Price action hovering in between the blue lines and around the center indicate a low volatility market or a consolidating market.
----- HOW THIS INDICATOR IS ORIGINAL; WHAT IT DOES AND HOW IT DOES IT -----
This indicator has an original, unique ability to view the trend of bands in a substantially larger overview when zoomed out.
Normally, one would have to switch to higher time frames to get a sense of a larger market trend.
However, doing so will change any bands indicator to accommodate the new price action in relation to the new time frame.
To avoid this, the middle bands are placed in between two bands to see the trend of the bands that show the trend of price action.
----- VERSION -----
The "ARL Bands" in this indicator are NOT the same as the "ARL Bands" indicator.
They are "ARLs" set in an entirely different context, format, and amount and so does not constitute as a different version of "ARL Bands".
The "ARL Bands" indicator only has 4 lines and can be adjusted to any level. They are mainly focused on rebounds at desired levels.
The 13 "ARLs" here cannot be adjusted and are mainly focused on anticipating/calculating probabilities of peak and dip rebounds.
If any discrepancy should arise, let it be stated here that the "ARLs" in this indicator are considered to be a forked codebase to conserve the functionality of "ARL Bands".
This is proven by the differences described underneath "VERSION", which is located 7 lines above.
Band-Zigzag - TrendFollower Strategy [Trendoscope]Strategy Time!!!
Have built this on my earlier published indicator Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower . This is just one possible implementation of strategy on Band-Based-Zigzag .
🎲 Notes
Experimental prototype. Not financial advise and strategy not guaranteed to make money despite backtest results
Not created or tested for any specific instrument or timeframe
Test and adopt with own risk
🎲 Strategy
This is trend following strategy built based on Bands and Zigzag. Traits of trend following strategies are
Lower win rate (Yes, thats right)
High risk reward (Compensates low win rate)
Higher drawdown
If market is choppy, trend following methods suffer.
The script implements few points to overcome the negatives such as lower win rate and higher drawdown by actively assessing pivots on the direction of trend along. This helps us take regular profits and exit on time during the end of trend. Most of the other concepts are defined and explained in indicator - Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower and Band-Based-Zigzag
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.
🎯 Using bands
When price breaks out of upper bands (example, Bollinger Band , Keltener Channel, or Donchian Channel), with a pre determined length and multiplier, we can consider the trend to be bullish and similarly when price breaks down the lower band, we can consider the trend to be bearish .
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points .
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎯 Band Based Zigzag Method
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.
I have also implemented few tricks such as sticky bands (Bands will not contract unless there is breakout) and Adaptive Bands (Band will not expand unless price is moving in the direction of band). This makes the trend following method very robust.
To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.
🎲 Settings
Settings are fairly simpler and are explained as below. You will find most of the required information in tooltips.
Band-Zigzag Based Trend FollowerWe defined new method to derive zigzag last month - which is called Channel-Based-Zigzag . This script is an example of one of the use case of this method.
🎲 Trend Following
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop.

🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points.

Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎲 Band Based Zigzag Method
Band Based Zigzag will help overcome these issues by combining both the methods.
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts.
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.

To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.
🎲 The indicator
The output of indicator is simple and intuitive to understand.
🎯 Trend Criteria
Uptrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot high and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as downtrend.
Downtrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot low and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as uptrend.
🎯 Settings
Settings allow you to select the band type and parameters used for calculating zigzag and then trend. Also has few options to hide the display.

Jumbalika BandsThis indicator is designed using several common technical analysis tools: Bollinger Bands, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and the Parabolic SAR. I'll walk you through each section to explain how it works and how you can use it:
1. Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are used to measure volatility and overbought/oversold conditions. It consists of three lines:
Basis (Middle Line): A simple moving average (SMA) of the price over a defined period (in this case, 20 periods).
Upper Band: The basis plus a certain number of standard deviations. It represents the upper boundary of expected price movement.
Lower Band: The basis minus the same number of standard deviations. It represents the lower boundary of expected price movement.
Interpretation:
Overbought: If the price moves above the upper band, it could signal that the asset is overbought.
Oversold: If the price moves below the lower band, it could signal that the asset is oversold.
Volatility: A wider band indicates higher volatility, and a narrower band indicates lower volatility.
2. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
The indicator plots four different EMAs:
9-period EMA: This is a short-term trend indicator.
20-period EMA on Close: This is another medium-term trend indicator, based on the close price.
20-period EMA on High: A variation of the 20-period EMA, but based on the high prices.
20-period EMA on Low: A variation of the 20-period EMA, but based on the low prices.
Interpretation:
9 EMA: A faster-moving average that responds quicker to price changes. It can be used to identify short-term trends.
20 EMA: A slower-moving average that reacts more gradually to price changes. It helps identify the broader trend.
High/Low EMAs: These give additional insights into the extremes of price action, which can help identify possible support or resistance levels.
Trading signals (common usage):
Crossover: When a shorter EMA (like the 9 EMA) crosses above a longer EMA (like the 20 EMA), it could be a bullish signal. When it crosses below, it could be a bearish signal.
3. Parabolic SAR
The Parabolic SAR is a trend-following indicator that is used to identify potential price reversals. The Parabolic SAR is plotted as a series of dots either above or below the price, depending on the trend:
Below the price: The trend is up (bullish).
Above the price: The trend is down (bearish)
4. Background Coloring (Optional)
The background will change color when the price crosses the Bollinger Bands:
Green background when the price is above the upper Bollinger Band.
Red background when the price is below the lower Bollinger Band.
Adjust the values for Bollinger Bands, EMAs, and Parabolic SAR directly in the indicator settings to suit your trading preferences.
Bollinger Bands: If the price is above the upper band, it might indicate an overbought condition, while if it's below the lower band, it might indicate an oversold condition.
EMAs: The 9 EMA is often used to track short-term trends, while the 20-period EMAs (on the close, high, and low) help analyze the broader market trend.
Parabolic SAR: The Parabolic SAR is often used to identify trend reversals. If the SAR is below the price, the trend is up, and if it's above the price, the trend is down.
Background Color: The background coloring helps visually highlight potential market conditions when the price breaks out of the Bollinger Bands.
Example Use Case:
Decide the trend based on the parabolic SAR, when the bar touches the upper or lower Bollinger take a short or long position based on the price action using EMAs.
Bollinger Bands CustomThe indicator is a customized version of Bollinger Bands with added trading signals. This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential entry (buy) and exit (sell) points based on the interaction between the price and the Bollinger Bands. Below, I will explain in detail its purpose, how it works, and how to use it.
Purpose of the Indicator
The main purpose of this indicator is:
Identify market volatility: Bollinger Bands expand and contract based on price volatility.
Provide trading signals: The indicator generates buy signals (BUY) when the price crosses the lower band and sell signals (SELL) when the price crosses the upper band.
Help identify dynamic support and resistance levels: The upper and lower bands act as dynamic resistance and support levels.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator is based on three main components:
Moving Average (SMA): It calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of the price over a specified period (length).
Bollinger Bands:
The upper band is calculated as the moving average plus a standard deviation multiplied by a factor (mult).
The lower band is calculated as the moving average minus a standard deviation multiplied by the same factor.
Trading signals:
A BUY signal is generated when the price crosses above the lower band.
A SELL signal is generated when the price crosses below the upper band.
How to Use the Indicator
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the indicator on TradingView:
1. Add the Indicator to the Chart
Copy the Pine Script code you created.
Open TradingView and go to the Pine Editor.
Paste the code and click "Add to Chart."
The indicator will be displayed directly on the price chart.
2. Customize the Parameters
You can customize the following parameters:
Moving Average Length (length): Set the period for the moving average (default is 20).
Price Source (source): Choose the price to use (default is the closing price).
Standard Deviation Multiplier (mult): Set the multiplier for the standard deviation (default is 2.0).
3. Interpret the Signals
BUY Signal: When you see a "BUY" label below a candle, it means the price has crossed above the lower band. This could indicate a buying opportunity.
SELL Signal: When you see a "SELL" label above a candle, it means the price has crossed below the upper band. This could indicate a selling opportunity.
4. Use Bollinger Bands as Support and Resistance
If the price approaches the upper band, it might indicate a resistance level.
If the price approaches the lower band, it might indicate a support level.
5. Monitor the Colored Background
The chart background turns light green when there is a BUY signal and light red when there is a SELL signal. This helps you quickly identify signals.
Practical Example
Suppose you are analyzing a daily chart of a stock or cryptocurrency:
If the price crosses above the lower band, the indicator will show a "BUY" label. You might consider this as a signal to open a long position.
If the price crosses below the upper band, the indicator will show a "SELL" label. You might consider this as a signal to close a long position or open a short position.
Limitations and Considerations
False signals: In range-bound markets, Bollinger Bands can generate many false signals. It is advisable to use this indicator in combination with other technical analysis tools.
Extreme volatility: During periods of high volatility, the bands expand, and signals may become less reliable.
Confirmation: It is always good practice to confirm signals with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) or candlestick analysis.
Conclusion
My indicator is a useful tool for identifying potential trading opportunities based on Bollinger Bands. However, as with any indicator, it is important to use it in combination with other forms of analysis and risk management to maximize effectiveness. Happy trading! 🚀
Bollinger Band Squeeze with Dotted MidlinesBollinger Band Squeeze with Dotted Midlines
Overview:
The Bollinger Band Squeeze with Dotted Midlines indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify periods of low volatility in the market, known as "squeeze" conditions, which often precede significant price movements. By combining Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, this indicator highlights when the market is consolidating and prepares traders for potential breakouts.
Key Features:
• Squeeze Detection: The indicator fills the area between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels with a semi-transparent red color when both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands are within the Keltner Channels. This visual cue signifies a squeeze condition.
• Dynamic Color Filling: When the Bollinger Bands move outside the Keltner Channels, the fill color changes to a semi-transparent white, indicating the end of the squeeze and the potential start of increased volatility.
• Enhanced Visual Clarity:
o Upper and Lower Bands: The upper and lower lines of both the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels are plotted with increased thickness (3pt) for better visibility.
o Midlines with Dotted Effect: The middle lines (50% lines) for both the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels are plotted as dotted lines using circles with a thinner line width (1pt), providing a clear yet unobtrusive reference point.
Indicator Components:
1. Bollinger Bands (Orange Lines):
o Upper Bollinger Band: Calculated as the moving average plus a multiple of the standard deviation.
o Lower Bollinger Band: Calculated as the moving average minus a multiple of the standard deviation.
o Middle Bollinger Band: The simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price.
2. Keltner Channels (White Lines):
o Upper Keltner Channel: Calculated as the exponential moving average (EMA) plus a multiple of the average true range (ATR).
o Lower Keltner Channel: Calculated as the EMA minus a multiple of the ATR.
o Middle Keltner Channel: The EMA of the closing price.
3. Squeeze Condition Fill:
o Red Fill (40% Opacity): Indicates a squeeze condition where the Bollinger Bands are entirely within the Keltner Channels.
o White Fill (40% Opacity): Indicates normal market conditions where the Bollinger Bands have moved outside the Keltner Channels.
How to Use:
1. Identifying Squeeze Conditions:
o Look for Red Filled Areas: When you see the area between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels filled in semi-transparent red, it signals a squeeze condition. This means the market is experiencing low volatility and may be preparing for a significant move.
2. Preparing for Potential Breakouts:
o Monitor for Fill Color Changes: A transition from red to white fill suggests that the squeeze is ending, and volatility is increasing. Traders often interpret this as a potential opportunity for a breakout in either direction.
3. Utilizing Midlines:
o Reference Midlines for Trend Direction: The dotted midlines provide insight into the overall trend. Crossing of the price above or below these lines can offer additional confirmation for trading decisions.
Customization Options:
• Bollinger Bands Settings:
o Length: Default is 20 periods. Adjust to change the sensitivity of the bands.
o Multiplier: Default is 2.0. Modify to increase or decrease the band width based on standard deviation.
• Keltner Channels Settings:
o Length: Default is 20 periods. Alter to adjust the responsiveness of the channels.
o Multiplier: Default is 1.5. Change to widen or narrow the channels based on average true range.
Advantages:
• Visual Clarity: Enhanced line thickness and semi-transparent fills make it easy to spot key market conditions at a glance.
• Early Warning System: By identifying squeeze conditions, traders can anticipate potential breakouts and plan their strategies accordingly.
• Flexible Application: Suitable for various timeframes and trading styles, including day trading, swing trading, and position trading.
Limitations:
• False Signals: Like all technical indicators, it may produce false signals, especially in choppy or range-bound markets.
• Should Be Used with Other Indicators: For better accuracy, it's recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not as a standalone signal generator.
Conclusion:
The Bollinger Band Squeeze with Dotted Midlines indicator is a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit. By effectively highlighting periods of consolidation and potential breakout points, it aids in making informed trading decisions. The visual enhancements improve usability, allowing traders to quickly interpret market conditions and respond appropriately.

Advanced BB Bands with PlotThis code implements an advanced version of Bollinger Bands with additional moving averages, ATR-based bands, step lines, market direction indicators, and real-time data display. Here’s a breakdown of the functionality:
1. Inputs and Parameters:
length: The base period used for calculating the moving averages and the typical price.
atr_length: The length used for calculating the Average True Range (ATR).
step_length: The period for calculating step lines (highest high and lowest low over a given period).
2. Core Calculations:
Typical Price: (high + low + close) / 3 is the base for the moving averages.
ATR: ta.atr(atr_length) is used to create dynamic bands around the moving averages.
PL Dot: An average of the typical prices from the current and past two bars. This provides a short-term trend indicator.
3. Multiple Moving Averages (MAs):
Three simple moving averages (ma1, ma2, ma3) are calculated using different multiples of the base length. These help indicate short-, mid-, and long-term trends.
4. Step Lines:
Step Up: Highest close over the step_length.
Step Down: Lowest close over the step_length. These act as short-term support and resistance levels.
5. Outer Bands:
Upper Band: ma1 + 2 * ATR, an upper boundary based on ATR volatility.
Lower Band: ma1 - 2 * ATR, a lower boundary. Together, these form a dynamic range around the short-term moving average.
6. Market Direction:
Bullish or Bearish condition is determined by comparing ma1 and ma2. If ma1 is above ma2, the market is bullish; otherwise, it's bearish. This decision is displayed on the TradingView chart using a table.
7. Visual Elements:
Moving Averages (ma1, ma2, ma3): Plotted in different colors (blue, purple, white) to indicate different timeframes.
PL Dot: A step line plot for the PL Dot, which helps in spotting short-term trends.
Step Lines: Step-up and step-down levels plotted in lime and red, respectively.
Outer Bands: Upper and lower ATR-based bands plotted in aqua, with a filled region between the bands for easy visualization of price volatility.
Candlestick Coloring: Green bars for bullish and red for bearish price action.
8. Real-Time Board Display:
A table is created in the top-right corner of the chart to display:
The current closing price.
The market direction ("Bullish" or "Bearish").
The PL Dot value. The table updates on the most recent bar (barstate.islast).
9. Dynamic Labels:
On the most recent bar, labels are added dynamically to the upper and lower bands and the ma1. These labels help in identifying the values of key indicators directly on the chart.
10. Signals and Alerts:
Bullish and Bearish Cross: Visual signals are plotted on the chart when ma1 crosses above or below ma2. These are represented as up and down triangles, providing potential buy/sell signals.
Key Features Summarized:
Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages: 3 MAs based on different timeframes.
Dynamic ATR Bands: ATR-based upper and lower boundaries for volatility measurement.
Step Lines: Short-term high and low lines for support/resistance.
PL Dot: A short-term trend identifier.
Real-Time Dashboard: Live updates of price, trend, and PL Dot on the chart.
Visual Alerts: Dynamic labeling and crossover signals to assist in decision-making.
This script is designed for traders who want to track price movement within bands, evaluate trends across multiple timeframes, and visualize short-term market direction with dynamic alerts.
RSI Bands with Volume and EMAThis script is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify key market signals using RSI bands, volume, and multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It overlays the following on the chart:
RSI Bands: The script calculates and plots two bands based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating overbought and oversold levels. These bands act as dynamic support and resistance zones:
Resistance Band (Upper Band): Plotted when the RSI exceeds the overbought level, typically indicating a potential sell signal.
Support Band (Lower Band): Plotted when the RSI falls below the oversold level, typically indicating a potential buy signal.
Midline: The average of the upper and lower bands, acting as a neutral reference.
Buy/Sell Labels: Labels are dynamically added to the chart when price reaches the overbought or oversold levels.
A "Buy" label appears when the price reaches the oversold (lower) band.
A "Sell" label appears when the price reaches the overbought (upper) band.
Volume Indicator: The script visualizes trading volume as histograms, with red or green bars representing decreasing or increasing volume, respectively. The volume height is visually reduced for better clarity and comparison.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): The script calculates and plots four key EMAs (12, 26, 50, and 200) to highlight short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends:
EMA 12: Blue
EMA 26: Orange
EMA 50: Purple
EMA 200: Green
The combined use of RSI, volume, and EMAs offers traders a multi-faceted view of the market, assisting in making informed decisions about potential price reversals, trends, and volume analysis. The script is particularly useful for identifying entry and exit points on charts like BTC/USDT, although it can be applied to any asset.
SMA with ATR BandsSMA with ATR Bands
This custom indicator combines the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with Average True Range (ATR) bands. It’s designed to help traders identify potential price reversals and gauge volatility. Here’s what it does:
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
The SMA represents the average price over a specified period.
It acts as a trend-following line, smoothing out price fluctuations.
The blue line on the chart represents the SMA.
ATR Bands:
The ATR measures volatility by calculating the average range between high and low prices.
We add and subtract the ATR (multiplied by a user-defined factor) from the SMA to create the bands.
The green upper band and red lower band dynamically adjust based on volatility.

arpit bollinger bandStrategy Overview:
This strategy utilizes Bollinger Bands based on a 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a standard deviation multiplier of 1.5. It is designed to generate early trading signals based on the relationship between the price action and the Bollinger Bands.
Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The upper Bollinger Band is calculated as the 20-period EMA of the closing prices plus 1.5 times the standard deviation of the same period.
The lower Bollinger Band is calculated as the 20-period EMA of the closing prices minus 1.5 times the standard deviation.
Entry Criteria:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the current candle's high exceeds the high of the candle two periods ago, which had closed below the lower Bollinger Band. This condition implies an anticipation of a bullish reversal.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the current candle's low falls below the low of the candle two periods ago, which had closed above the upper Bollinger Band. This condition suggests an anticipated bearish reversal.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
The stop loss for a buy order is set slightly below the low of the current candle, and for a sell order, it is set slightly above the high of the current candle.
The take profit level is determined based on a predefined risk-reward ratio of 1:3. This means the take profit target is set at a distance three times greater than the distance between the entry price and the stop loss.
Risk Management:
The strategy includes an input option to adjust the risk-reward ratio, allowing for flexibility in managing the trade's potential risk versus reward.
Trade Execution:
The strategy automatically plots the buy and sell signals on the chart and executes the trades according to the defined conditions. It also visually indicates the stop loss levels for each trade.
Usage Notes:
This strategy is designed for use in the TradingView platform using Pine Script version 5.
It is important to backtest and paper trade the strategy before using it in live trading to understand its performance characteristics and risk profile.
The strategy should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan, considering market conditions, trader risk tolerance, and personal trading goals.

BB1 (20-Period): Measures short-term price movements and volatility.
BB2 (200-Period): Acts as a long-term trend filter to determine the dominant trend.
2. Trade Entries & Exits
Bullish Trade Setup (Long Entry)
🔹 Price Above 200 MA Basis Line (BB2) – Confirms an uptrend.
🔹 Price Pulls Back to the Lower Band of BB1 (20 MA) – Ideal buy opportunity.
🔹 Confirmation: If price bounces off the lower BB1 band and moves back toward the midline or upper band, enter a long position.
🔹 Exit: When price touches or exceeds the upper BB1 band.
Bearish Trade Setup (Short Entry)
🔹 Price Below 200 MA Basis Line (BB2) – Confirms a downtrend.
🔹 Price Pulls Back to the Upper Band of BB1 (20 MA) – Ideal short opportunity.
🔹 Confirmation: If price gets rejected at the upper BB1 band and moves downward, enter a short position.
🔹 Exit: When price reaches or drops below the lower BB1 band.
3. Avoiding Sideways Markets
❌ Avoid trading when price stays between the two bands of BB1 without breaking out.
❌ Flat 200 MA Line (BB2 Basis) indicates a ranging market – best to wait for a breakout.
✅ Wait for Price to Cross the 200 MA Basis Line to confirm trend direction before entering trades.

Standard Error Bands**Standard Error Bands Indicator: A Statistically Robust Tool for Trend Analysis**
The Standard Error Bands (SEB) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify and assess trends with greater accuracy. Unlike traditional band indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands) that rely on price averages, SEB leverages linear regression and statistical measures of volatility to offer deeper insights into market dynamics.
**How It Works**
1. **Linear Regression:** The indicator first calculates a linear regression line to model the underlying price trend. This line represents the "best fit" of price data over the specified lookback period.
2. **Standard Error:** Next, it calculates the standard error of the regression. This statistical measure quantifies the average distance between actual prices and the regression line, effectively acting as a volatility gauge.
3. **Smoothing:** Both the linear regression line and the standard error values are smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and enhance the visual clarity of the bands.
4. **Band Construction:** The upper and lower bands are formed by adding/subtracting a multiple of the smoothed standard error from the smoothed linear regression line. The default multiplier is 2, representing approximately 95% of price action expected within the bands under normal market conditions.
**Key Insights**
* **Trend Strength:** Tight bands suggest a strong, well-defined trend with low volatility. Prices tend to adhere closely to the regression line, indicating a high probability of trend continuation.
* **Trend Weakness/Change:** Widening or expanding bands signal increased volatility and potential trend weakness. Prices deviating from the regression line may suggest an impending trend reversal or a shift into a sideways consolidation phase.
* **Entry/Exit Signals:**
* Consider entering a trade when prices break out of the bands in the direction of the trend, especially if the bands were previously tight.
* Conversely, consider exiting a trade when prices pierce the bands against the trend or when the bands start to widen significantly.
**Use Cases**
* **Trend Identification:** SEB can help traders identify trends earlier and more accurately than moving average-based indicators.
* **Trend Confirmation:** The bands can be used to confirm the validity and strength of an existing trend.
* **Volatility Assessment:** Changes in band width provide valuable insights into market volatility, aiding risk management decisions.
* **Entry/Exit Timing:** SEB can be incorporated into trading strategies to generate timely entry and exit signals.
**Important Considerations**
* **Parameter Optimization:** Experiment with different lookback periods, smoothing values, and standard error multipliers to find the optimal settings for your preferred trading style and market conditions.
* **Supplementary Indicators:** Combine SEB with other technical indicators (e.g., momentum oscillators, volume analysis) for a more comprehensive market assessment.
* **Backtesting:** Thoroughly backtest any SEB-based trading strategy to ensure its effectiveness before deploying it in live markets.
**Disclaimer:** Technical indicators like SEB are valuable tools but should not be used in isolation. Always consider price action or fundamental factors and risk management principles when making trading decisions.

Bollinger Band StrategyDescription of the Bollinger Band Breakout Strategy
This trading strategy, credited to Siddhart Bhanushali, is a momentum-based approach that uses Bollinger Bands and a 22-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) to identify high-probability breakout trades. It focuses on detecting periods of low volatility (contraction) followed by high volatility (expansion) to enter trades with a favorable risk-reward ratio. The strategy is designed to capture significant price movements in trending markets, with clear rules for entry, stop loss, and profit targets.
Strategy Overview
The strategy generates buy and sell signals based on specific conditions involving the 22-period SMA and Bollinger Bands. It aims to enter trades when the price breaks out of a consolidation phase, confirmed by the direction of the SMA and the behavior of a green or red candle relative to the Bollinger Bands. The minimum target for each trade is a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Credit
This strategy is credited to Siddhart Bhanushali, who designed it to leverage Bollinger Band breakouts in trending markets, providing a clear and systematic approach to trading with defined risk-reward parameters.
