BBMA Enhanced Pro - Multi-Timeframe Band Breakout StrategyShort Title : BBMA Pro
Overview
The BBMA Enhanced Pro is a professional-grade trading indicator that builds on the Bollinger Bands Moving Average (BBMA) strategy, pioneered by Omar Ali , a Malaysian forex trader and educator. Combining Bollinger Bands with Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) , this indicator identifies high-probability breakout and reversal opportunities across multiple timeframes. With advanced features like multi-timeframe Extreme signal detection, eight professional visual themes, and a dual-mode dashboard, it’s designed for traders seeking precision in trending and consolidating markets. Optimized for dark chart backgrounds, it’s ideal for forex, stocks, and crypto trading.
History
The BBMA strategy was developed by Omar Ali (BBMA Oma Ally) in the early 2010s, gaining popularity in the forex trading community, particularly in Southeast Asia. Building on John Bollinger’s Bollinger Bands, Omar Ali integrated Weighted Moving Averages and a multi-timeframe approach to create a structured system for identifying reversals, breakouts, and extreme conditions. The BBMA Enhanced Pro refines this framework with modern features like real-time dashboards and customizable visualizations, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Extreme Signals : Detects Extreme signals (overbought/oversold conditions) on both current and higher timeframes simultaneously, a rare feature that enhances signal reliability through trend alignment.
Professional Visual Themes : Eight distinct themes (e.g., Neon Contrast, Fire Gradient) optimized for dark backgrounds.
Dual-Mode Dashboard : Choose between Full Professional (detailed metrics) or Simplified Trader (essential info with custom notes).
Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection : Identifies low volatility periods (narrow bands) signaling potential sideways markets or breakouts.
Confirmation Labels : Displays labels when current timeframe signals align with recent higher timeframe signals, highlighting potential consolidations or squeezes.
Timeframe Validation : Prevents selecting the same timeframe for current and higher timeframe analysis.
Customizable Visualization : Toggle signal dots, EMA 50, and confirmation labels for a clean chart experience.
How It Works
The BBMA Enhanced Pro combines Bollinger Bands (20-period SMA, ±2 standard deviations) with WMA (5 and 10 periods) to generate trade signals:
Buy Signal : WMA 5 Low crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a recovery from an oversold condition (Extreme buy).
Sell Signal : WMA 5 High crosses below the upper Bollinger Band, signaling a rejection from an overbought condition (Extreme sell).
Extreme Signals : Occur when prices or WMAs move significantly beyond the Bollinger Bands (±2σ), indicating statistically rare overextensions. These often coincide with Bollinger Band Squeezes (narrow bands, low standard deviation), signaling potential sideways markets or impending breakouts.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : The indicator’s unique strength is its ability to detect Extreme signals on both the current and higher timeframe (HTF) within the same chart. When the HTF generates an Extreme signal (e.g., buy), and the current timeframe follows with an identical signal, it suggests the lower timeframe is aligning with the HTF’s trend, increasing reliability. Labels appear only when this alignment occurs within a user-defined lookback period (default: 50 bars), highlighting periods of band contraction across timeframes.
Bollinger Band Squeeze : Narrow bands (low standard deviation) indicate reduced volatility, often preceding consolidation or breakouts. The indicator’s dashboard tracks band width, helping traders anticipate these phases.
Why Multi-Timeframe Extremes Matter
The BBMA Enhanced Pro’s multi-timeframe approach is rare and powerful. When the higher timeframe shows an Extreme signal followed by a similar signal on the current timeframe, it suggests the market is following the HTF’s trend or entering a consolidation phase. For example:
HTF Sideways First : If the HTF Bollinger Bands are shrinking (low volatility, low standard deviation), it signals a potential sideways market. Waiting for the current timeframe to show a similar Extreme signal confirms this consolidation, reducing the risk of false breakouts.
Risk Management : By requiring HTF confirmation, the indicator encourages traders to lower risk during uncertain periods, waiting for both timeframes to align in a low-volatility state before acting.
Usage Instructions
Select Display Mode :
Current TF Only : Shows Bollinger Bands and WMAs on the chart’s timeframe.
Higher TF Only : Displays HTF bands and WMAs.
Both Timeframes : Combines both for comprehensive analysis.
Choose Higher Timeframe : Select from 1min to 1D (e.g., 15min, 1hr). Ensure it differs from the current timeframe to avoid validation errors.
Enable Signal Dots : Visualize buy/sell Extreme signals as dots, sourced from current, HTF, or both timeframes.
Toggle Confirmation Labels : Display labels when current timeframe Extremes align with recent HTF Extremes, signaling potential squeezes or consolidations.
Customize Dashboard :
Full Professional Mode : View metrics like BB width, WMA trend, and last signal.
Simplified Trader Mode : Focus on essential info with custom trader notes.
Select Visual Theme : Choose from eight themes (e.g., Ice Crystal, Royal Purple) for optimal chart clarity.
Trading Example
Setup : 5min chart, HTF set to 1hr, signal dots and confirmation labels enabled.
Buy Scenario : On the 5min chart, WMA 5 Low crosses above the lower Bollinger Band (Extreme buy), confirmed by a recent 1hr Extreme buy signal within 50 bars. The dashboard shows narrow bands (squeeze), and a green label appears.
Action : Enter a long position, targeting the middle band, with a stop-loss below the recent low. The HTF confirmation suggests a strong trend or consolidation phase.
Sell Scenario : WMA 5 High crosses below the upper Bollinger Band on the 5min chart, confirmed by a recent 1hr Extreme sell signal. The dashboard indicates a squeeze, and a red label appears.
Action : Enter a short position, targeting the middle band, with a stop-loss above the recent high. The aligned signals suggest a potential reversal or sideways market.
Customization Options
BBMA Display Mode : Current TF Only, Higher TF Only, or Both Timeframes.
Higher Timeframe : 1min to 1D.
Visual Theme : Eight professional themes (e.g., Neon Contrast, Forest Glow).
Line Style : Smooth or Step Line for HTF plots.
Signal Dots : Enable/disable, select timeframe source (Current, Higher, or Both).
Confirmation Labels : Toggle and set lookback window (1-100 bars).
Dashboard : Enable/disable, choose mode (Full/Simplified), and set position (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.).
Notes
Extreme Signals and Squeezes : Extreme signals often occur during Bollinger Band contraction (low standard deviation), signaling potential sideways markets or breakouts. Use HTF confirmation to filter false signals.
Risk Management : If the HTF shows a squeeze (narrow bands), wait for the current timeframe to confirm with an Extreme signal to reduce risk in choppy markets.
Limitations : Avoid trading Extremes in highly volatile markets without additional confirmation (e.g., volume, RSI).

Bollinger Bands Multi TFBollinger Bands Multi TF Indicator
Overview
The Bollinger Bands Multi TF Indicator allows traders to overlay two sets of Bollinger Bands from different timeframes onto the same chart. This provides a broader market perspective by helping identify volatility and trend direction across multiple timeframes.
Features
✅ Dual Timeframe Support – Configure Bollinger Bands for two different timeframes (default: 15 min & 5 min).
✅ Customizable Moving Averages – Choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, or VWMA as the basis line for each band.
✅ Dynamic Standard Deviation – Adjust the standard deviation multiplier for each timeframe.
✅ Visual Clarity – Different colors for each Bollinger Band set, with background filling for better visualization.
How to Use
🔹 Use the higher timeframe Bollinger Bands to identify overall trend and key resistance/support levels.
🔹 Use the lower timeframe Bollinger Bands for fine-tuned entry/exit signals within the broader trend.
🔹 A tightening of bands may indicate low volatility, signaling a potential breakout.
🔹 A widening of bands may suggest increased volatility and trend continuation.
Ideal For
📈 Intraday and swing traders looking for multi-timeframe confluence.
📊 Volatility-based traders who use Bollinger Bands for breakouts or reversals.
📍 Any trader wanting a deeper market context beyond a single timeframe.
Triple HMA Bands (1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6)📈 Triple HMA Bands — Custom Volatility & Trend Indicator
Description:
The Triple HMA Bands indicator combines the Hull Moving Average (HMA) with volatility-based envelopes, similar to Bollinger Bands, to visualize trend direction and market extremes.
The HMA (length 90) serves as the central trend line, offering a smooth and responsive view of market direction.
Surrounding the HMA are three dynamic bands calculated using standard deviations of price:
Inner Band (1.2σ) — normal volatility range.
Middle Band (1.4σ) — elevated volatility zone.
Outer Band (1.6σ) — statistically extreme price movement.
The shaded zones between the bands help visualize volatility expansion and contraction, making it easier to identify:
Trend strength and stability
Potential reversal zones
Breakout or breakdown events
How to Use:
Price staying within the inner band may indicate a stable trend or consolidation.
Price reaching or exceeding the outer band suggests overbought/oversold conditions and potential reversal.
Widening bands = rising volatility; narrowing bands = low volatility, often before a breakout.
This indicator is ideal for trend traders, mean reversion strategies, or anyone wanting a volatility-sensitive trend filter.
Bollinger Bands, RSI, and MA StrategyThe "Bollinger Bands, RSI and MA Strategy" is a trend-following strategy that combines the Bollinger Bands indicator, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and a moving average (MA). It aims to identify potential entry and exit points in the market based on price volatility, momentum, and trend.
The strategy uses two Bollinger Bands with different standard deviations to create price channels. The default settings for the Bollinger Bands are a length of 20 periods and a standard deviation of 2.0. The upper and lower bands of the Bollinger Bands serve as dynamic resistance and support levels, respectively.
The RSI indicator is employed to gauge the strength of price momentum.
The strategy also incorporates a 50-period moving average (MA) to help identify the overall trend direction. When the price is above the MA, it suggests an uptrend, and when the price is below the MA, it suggests a downtrend.
The entry conditions for long trades are when the RSI is above the overbought level and there is no contraction in the Bollinger Bands. For short trades, the entry conditions are when the RSI is below the oversold level and there is no contraction in the Bollinger Bands.
The exit conditions for long trades are when the RSI drops below the overbought level or when the price closes below the 50-period MA.
For short trades, the exit conditions are when the RSI goes above the oversold level or when the price closes above the 50-period MA.
The strategy generates alerts for potential long and short entry signals, as well as for exit signals when the specified conditions are met. These alerts can be used to receive notifications or take further actions, such as placing trades manually or using automated trading systems.
It is important to note that this strategy serves as a starting point and should be thoroughly backtested and validated with historical data before applying it to live trading. Additionally, it is recommended to consider risk management techniques, including setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels, to effectively manage trades.
[Saya] VWAP Range Bands VWAP Range Bands is a custom volatility-based indicator that visualizes dynamic support and resistance zones using a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) combined with adaptive deviation bands.
🔍 Features:
• VWAP-based midline for mean reversion insight
• Dynamic upper and lower bands based on average deviation or standard deviation
• Visual highlights when price crosses extreme zones
• Optional deviation count table to monitor how often price breaks out
Great for identifying high-probability reversal or continuation areas in both trending and ranging markets.
Team Undergrounds Magic RSI BandsWhat is this indicator?
This indicator shows RSI but visualize as bands with custom timeframe settings. Normal RSI doesn't really visualse well when the price gets overbought/oversold and generally because of candle closes it can be hard to determine if the price has already touched the prefered RSI level. The custom timeframe allows you to go to shorter or longer timeframes on the chart while maintaining the same timeframe on the RSI indicator.
How does it work?
Add this indicator to the chart, and you'll see 2 bands (green and red). By standard settings, the green band shows when price goes below 30 RSI and the red line when price goes above 70 on the RSI. By standard settings the RSI band is set to 7 hour because this tends to work well with Bitcoin and crypto in general, but the timeframe can be changed in the settings. 12hr, 3hr, 3D, 1W are all good timeframes based off personal preference. The overbought/oversold level and RSI length can also be adjusted.
Indicator is not a financial advice tool, and offcourse, data can always change. Past price does not predict future price by defintion.
Foxy's Logarithmic Bollinger BandsThis versatile indicator plots logarithmic Bollinger Bands on any financial asset or timeframe in the TradingView platform. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands, which use simple arithmetic calculations, Foxy's LBB employs logarithmic scales to better capture and visualize percentage-based price movements.
The core functionality includes:
Basis Line: A central moving average line calculated on the log10 of the selected price source (default is close price). Multiple moving average types are available, including SMA, EMA, RMA, and volume-weighted variants.
Upper/Lower Bands 1: The first set of upper and lower bands, plotted at a user-defined number of standard deviations (default 2.0) above and below the Basis Line.
Upper/Lower Bands 2: A second set of bands plotted at a different standard deviation level (default 3.0) to cater to different volatility preferences.
Offset: An option to vertically offset the plotted lines for better visualization alongside other indicators or studies.
By using a logarithmic scale, Foxy's LBB provides a more accurate representation of percentage-based price changes, making it particularly useful for analyzing and trading volatile assets or markets with significant price swings.
Traders can leverage this indicator for various purposes, such as identifying potential overbought/oversold conditions, gauging volatility levels, and spotting trend continuations or reversals based on the interaction between price and the band levels.
Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting, Foxy's LBB offers a powerful and flexible tool to enhance your technical analysis and decision-making process in the TradingView environment.
S2BU2 True Range BandsWhat it is:
A twist on the DMI and ATR indicators.
How it is calculated:
What you see is a basic 14-period EMA calculated based on the opening price of the candle.
Extending from this base is the average true range, showing the expected realistic movement in that direction.
How you may interpret what you see:
Extended movement outside of those bands indicates a strong trend and also indicates a bad time to enter. In a sideways market the best time to get in and out is whenever the chart crosses the upper/lower bands. As usual, do not use this indicator alone to determine your entries/exits. If you find a regular behaviour related to this indicator that is not mentioned here feel free to reach out to me. I will consider adding it the list
How you may improve accuracy:
Most obvious - combine with different indicators measuring different things. This indicator measures potential direction. You may combine it with a simple trendindicator, momentum-indicator, etc. There is little use in combining it with another indicator measuring the same thing. When using 2 indicators for the same aspect, pick the one that is more reliable or reacts faster - depending on your preference and strategy.
Another Option to improve accuracy is to overlap the indicator on several timeframes. Dissonance is weakness. Ressonance is strength. if you see many tfs showing the same movement it may be a good time to get in - you will have to judge it yourself though ;)
Bull Market Support Bands (20W SMA & 21W EMA)This indicator plots the 20-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA), together forming the Bull Market Support Bands (BMSB).
Fully compatible with any chart; values are calculated using the weekly timeframe, even if applied on daily charts.
Adjustable band transparency in settings.
Includes optional alerts when EMA crosses above/below SMA.

You can change the fix monthly and date/price init, and create upper or lower band cross alerts.
VIX‑Based σ‑BandsThis Pine Script v5 indicator builds a volatility‑based envelope around yesterday’s close using CBOE’s volatility indices. It dynamically pulls VIX, VXN, VXD or RVX—depending on whether you’re charting ES, NQ, YM or RTY—and converts annualized volatility into dollar‑move bands at ±¼ σ, ±½ σ, ±1 σ, and ±2 σ. Optional “mid‑lines” fill in the gaps between each band for even finer precision.
Session Pivots + EMA20/50 + Bollinger BandsMulti-tool indicator combining session pivots, EMA trend filters, Bollinger Bands, and alerts for intraday trading.
📌 Description
One of the biggest advantages of this indicator is that it supports TradingView’s ALERT system, so traders can be notified the moment price crosses the daily/session pivot level. This allows faster decision-making without constant chart watching.
This script combines three powerful tools into a single indicator:
Session Pivot Levels (with Support/Resistance): Automatically calculates pivot, R1–R3 and S1–S3 levels based on the previous trading session (London, New York, Asia, or custom). Levels are plotted with clean labels and connector lines so you always see the exact price values ahead of time.
EMA Trend Filters (20 & 50): Tracks short- and medium-term market direction with two popular exponential moving averages, helping confirm entries and exits.
Bollinger Bands (fully customizable): Adds volatility bands with choice of SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, or VWMA for the middle line, plus adjustable standard deviation and offset.
✅ Key Features
Auto-detects London, New York, and Asian sessions or set your own custom session.
Displays up to 3 levels of support and resistance from the previous session.
Clean label display with customizable theme options (Dark, Light, Custom).
Alerts included: Get notified instantly when price crosses above or below the Pivot.
EMA20/50 trend confirmation built-in.
Bollinger Bands with multiple moving average types and volatility settings.
Works for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Commodities — optimized for intraday & scalping.
This makes it a complete intraday toolkit, reducing the need to load multiple separate indicators.

Ari Bull BandThe ARI Bull Band is an indicator based on EMA, HMA and RSI.
When the band is GREEN, the market is on an uptrend.
When the band is RED, the market is on a downtrend.
When the band is Green:
If the candle closes above the band and RSI is overbought, a red triangle will be painted on the top of the candle, suggesting a selling opportunity
When the band is Red:
If the candle closes below the band and RSI is oversold, a green triangle will be painted on the bottom of the candle, suggesting a buying opportunity
Why are the band painted with different shades?
Different shades of red and green identify the relationship between the price and its moving averages.
When the price is below the band and the price action is a downtrend, the band will be painted purple.
When the price is above the band and the price action is an uptrend, the band will be painted in dark Green.
Bollinger Bands with momentum SMA'sA useful tool to look for add on opportunities. The settiing are such that 4Hr shows a Bollinger band for the daily TF. That's the settings to get a higher time frame picture but with a lower time frame focus
Acceleration BandsPrice Headley\'s Acceleration Bands serve as a trading envelope that factor in a stock\'s typical volatility over standard settings of 20 or 80 bars. They can be used across any time frame, though Headley prefers to use them most across weekly and monthly timeframes as breakout indicators outside these bands, while using the shorter time frames to define likely support and resistance levels at the lower and upper Acceleration Bands. Acceleration Bands are plotted around a simple moving average as the midpoint, and the upper and lower bands are of equal distance from this midpoint.

SYMPL Reversal BandsThis is an expansion of the Hybrid moving average. It uses the same hybrid moving code from the hybrid moving average script with an additional layer using the ta.hma function for some slight additional smoothing. Colors of the bands change dynamically based of the long and short hybrid moving averages running in the background. This can be really helpful in identifying periods to short bounces or long dips.
Below is the explanation of the hybrid moving average
Hybrid Moving Average Market Trend System - , designed to visualize market trends using a combination of three moving averages: FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average), VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average), and a Hamming windowed Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA).
Key Features:
FRAMA Calculation:
FRAMA adapts to market volatility by dynamically adjusting its smoothing factor based on the fractal dimension of price movement. This allows it to be more responsive during trending periods while filtering out noise in sideways markets. The FRAMA is calculated for both short and long periods
VIDYA with CMO:
The VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) is based on a Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), which adjusts the smoothing factor dynamically depending on the momentum of the market. Higher momentum periods result in more responsive averages, while low momentum periods lead to smoother averages. Like FRAMA, VIDYA is calculated for both short and long periods.
Hamming Windowed VWMA:
This VWMA variation applies a Hamming window to smooth the weighting of volume across the calculation period. This method emphasizes central data points and reduces noise, making the VWMA more adaptive to volume fluctuations. The Hamming VWMA is calculated for short and long periods, offering another layer of adaptability to the hybrid moving average.

Dynamic Coloring and Filling:
The script uses dynamic color transitions to visually distinguish between bullish and bearish conditions:
Binomial MA BandsThe Binomial MA Bands is a simple and straightforward trading tool that uses a binomial distribution to calculate the moving average and standard deviation of a given price series. It allows users to adjust the length of the moving average and the multiplier for the standard deviation, providing some flexibility in its usage. However, it should be noted that the binomial distribution may not always provide the most accurate representation of market movements and trends, and may not always be the best choice for all traders. Additionally, the tool only has a limited range of adjustable parameters, so it may not be suitable for traders with more advanced or complex strategies. Overall, the Binomial MA Bands may be a useful tool for some traders, but its limitations should be kept in mind when considering its use in trading.

CryptoMettle - Crypto Market Support BandAs the name suggests, the Crypto Market Support Band has historically acted as a support band in bull runs. It refers to the band between the 20W Simple Moving Average (SMA) and 21W Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
