MA's + VWAP + VIX + BBMy combined indicator that I use for day trading SPY. It is a combination of several indicators, including..
VWAP
Bolinger Bands
Moving Averages
7-day MA
9-day MA
20-day MA
21-day MA
24-day MA
50-day MA
200-day MA
500-day MA
VIX and Skew index
VIX value and % change for the day
Skew value
Table size can be adjusted smaller if on mobile
I use the VIX table to see the current days % change and do a general comparison to what SPY closed at the day before. TradingView has an option to plot a line on where the price closed the previous day, which I enabled on my chart settings. VIX can give a confirmation of downtrends (if VIX goes up) or uptrends (if VIX goes down) and the general strength of the trend.
Please enable/disable whichever option(s) you prefer in the settings - any indicator can be disabled. I have defaulted the settings to what I personally use for SPY which includes 7-day MA, 20-day MA, VWAP, VIX table and BB's. I recommend disabling the "Inputs in status line", "Labels on price scale" and "Values in status line" so as to free up clutter on the chart.
I've also published a TSI indicator which I use for spotting divergences. I hope you enjoy using this combined indicator.

Full Spectrum Delta BandsI created the Full Spectrum Delta Bands (FullSpec ΔBB) to go beyond traditional Bollinger Bands by incorporating both OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) and Close-based data into the calculations. Instead of relying solely on closing prices, this indicator evaluates deviations from the complete bar range (OHLC), offering a more accurate view of market behavior.
A key feature is the Delta Flip, which highlights shifts between OHLC and Close-based bands. These flips are visually marked with color changes, signaling potential trend reversals, breakout zones, or volatility shifts. Traders can use these moments as inflection points to refine their entry and exit strategies.
The indicator also supports customizable sensitivity and deviation multiplier settings, allowing it to adapt to different trading styles and timeframes. Lower deviation values (e.g., 1σ or 1.5σ) are ideal for scalping on shorter timeframes like 5-min or 15-min charts, while higher values (e.g., 2.5σ or 3σ) are better suited for long-term trend analysis on weekly or monthly charts. The standard deviation multiplier fine-tunes the upper and lower bands to match specific trading goals and market conditions.
I designed Full Spectrum Delta Bands to provide deeper insights and a clearer view of market dynamics compared to traditional Bollinger Bands. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor, this tool helps you make informed and confident trading decisions.

Polygot Moving AveragesDescription
This is essentially a source merger of Bollinger Bands by Trading View and Simple Moving Averages by stoxxinbox. My additions and subtractions are minimal. There is the BB MA, which I default at 5d, and the other 4 averages are the standard 21, 50, 100, 200, day moving averages. I default the averaging method to WMA (Weighted Moving Average). The method of averaging can be changed as also can the lengths of the inputs to match user preferences. This is what I wanted for an indicator and didn't find.
Usage
The same as you would use any other BB or MA indicator. The benefit of this one is that it has 4 MAs, one MA with the Bollinger Bands attached, and the colours adjusted to be easy on the eyes when using high contrast themes, to be discernible yet sit quietly in the background with lines and candle sticks everywhere shouting for attention. I use it as a base first indicator which I can hide easily (imagine hiding five MA indicators individually constantly) when the more serious indicators come into play.

Fib BB on VWMA*ATRThis TradingView Pine Script is designed to plot Fibonacci Bollinger Bands on a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) using the Average True Range (ATR). The script takes a higher timeframe (HTF) approach, allowing traders to analyze price action and volatility from a broader market perspective.
🔹 How It Works
Higher Timeframe Data Integration
Users can select a specific timeframe to calculate the VWMA and ATR.
This allows for a more macro perspective, avoiding the noise of lower timeframes.
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Unlike the Simple Moving Average (SMA), VWMA gives higher weight to price movements with larger volume.
Calculation Formula:
𝑉𝑊𝑀𝐴=∑(𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒×𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒) / ∑𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
Since VWMA accounts for volume, it is more reactive to price zones with high buying or selling activity, making it useful for identifying liquidity zones.
ATR-Based Fibonacci Bollinger Bands
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility.
Instead of standard deviation-based Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci multipliers (2.618, 3.0, 3.414) are applied to ATR.
These bands adjust dynamically with market volatility.
🔹 Key Findings from Exploration
Through testing and analysis, this indicator seems to effectively detect supply and demand zones, particularly at the Fibonacci levels of 2.618 to 3.414.
Price frequently reacts at these bands, indicating that they capture key liquidity zones.
Potential Order Block Detection:
The ends of the Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (especially at 2.618, 3.0, and 3.414) tend to align with order blocks—areas where institutional traders previously accumulated or distributed positions.
This is particularly useful for order flow traders who focus on unfilled institutional orders.
🔹 How to Use This Indicator?
Identifying Order Blocks
When price reaches the upper or lower bands, check if there was a strong reaction (rejection or consolidation).
If price rapidly moves away from a band, that level might be an order block.
Spotting Liquidity Pools
VWMA’s nature enhances liquidity detection since it emphasizes high-volume price action.
If a price level repeatedly touches the band without breaking through, it suggests institutional orders may be absorbing liquidity there.
Trend Confirmation
If VWMA is trending upwards and price keeps rejecting the lower bands, it confirms a strong bullish trend.
Conversely, constant rejection from the upper bands suggests a bearish market.
This script is designed for open-source publication and offers traders a refined approach to detecting order blocks and liquidity zones using Fibonacci-based volatility bands.
📌 한글 설명 (상세 설명)
이 트레이딩뷰 파인스크립트는 거래량 가중 이동평균(VWMA)과 평균 실제 범위(ATR)를 활용하여 피보나치 볼린저 밴드를 표시하는 지표입니다.
또한, 고차 타임프레임(HTF) 데이터를 활용하여 시장의 큰 흐름을 분석할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다.
🔹 지표 작동 방식
고차 타임프레임(HTF) 데이터 적용
사용자가 원하는 타임프레임을 선택하여 VWMA와 ATR을 계산할 수 있습니다.
이를 통해 더 큰 시장 흐름을 분석할 수 있으며, 저타임프레임의 노이즈를 줄일 수 있습니다.
거래량 가중 이동평균(VWMA) 적용
VWMA는 단순 이동평균(SMA)보다 거래량이 많은 가격 움직임에 더 큰 가중치를 부여합니다.
계산 공식:
𝑉𝑊𝑀𝐴=∑(𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒×𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒) / ∑𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
거래량이 많이 발생한 가격 구간을 강조하는 특성이 있어, 시장의 유동성 구간을 더 정확히 포착할 수 있습니다.
ATR 기반 피보나치 볼린저 밴드 생성
ATR(Average True Range)를 활용하여 변동성을 측정합니다.
기존의 표준편차 기반 볼린저 밴드 대신, 피보나치 계수(2.618, 3.0, 3.414)를 ATR에 곱하여 밴드를 생성합니다.
이 밴드는 시장 변동성에 따라 유동적으로 조정됩니다.
🔹 탐구 결과: 매물대 및 오더블록 감지
테스트를 통해 Fibonacci 2.618 ~ 3.414 구간에서 매물대 및 오더블록을 포착하는 경향이 있음을 확인했습니다.
가격이 피보나치 밴드(특히 2.618, 3.0, 3.414)에 닿을 때 반응하는 경우가 많음
VWMA의 특성을 통해 오더블록을 감지할 가능성이 높음
🔹 오더블록(Order Block) 감지 원리
Fibonacci 밴드 끄트머리(2.618 ~ 3.414)에서 가격이 강하게 반응
이 영역에서 가격이 강하게 튀어 오르거나(매수 압력) 급락하는(매도 압력) 경우,
→ 기관들이 포지션을 청산하거나 추가 매집하는 구간일 가능성이 큼.
과거에 대량 주문이 체결된 가격 구간(= 오더블록)일 수 있음.
VWMA를 통한 유동성 감지
VWMA는 거래량이 집중된 가격을 기준으로 이동하기 때문에, 기관 주문이 많이 들어온 가격대를 강조하는 특징이 있음.
따라서 VWMA와 피보나치 밴드가 만나는 지점은 유동성이 높은 핵심 구간이 될 가능성이 큼.
매물대 및 청산 구간 분석
가격이 밴드에 도달했을 때 강한 반등이 나오는지를 확인 → 오더블록 가능성
가격이 밴드를 여러 번 테스트하면서 돌파하지 못한다면, 해당 지점은 강한 매물대일 가능성
🔹 활용 방법
✅ 오더블록 감지:
가격이 밴드(2.618~3.414)에 닿고 강하게 튕긴다면, 오더블록 가능성
해당 지점에서 거래량 증가 및 강한 반등 발생 시 매수 고려
✅ 유동성 풀 확인:
VWMA와 피보나치 밴드가 만나는 구간에서 반복적으로 거래량이 터진다면, 해당 지점은 기관 유동성 구간일 가능성
✅ 추세 확인:
VWMA가 상승하고 가격이 밴드 하단(지지선)에서 튕긴다면 강한 상승 추세
VWMA가 하락하고 가격이 밴드 상단(저항선)에서 거부당하면 하락 추세 지속
Adaptive Bollinger BandsAdaptive Bollinger Bands
This indicator displays Bollinger Bands with parameters that dynamically adjust based on market volatility. Unlike standard Bollinger Bands with fixed parameters, this version adaptively modifies both the period and standard deviation multiplier in real-time based on measured market conditions.
Key Features
Dynamic adjustment of period and standard deviation based on normalized volatility
Color-coded visualization of current volatility regime (expanding, normal, contracting)
Integration with Keltner Channels for band refinement
Bandwidth analysis for volatility regime identification
Optional on-chart parameter labels showing current settings
Band cross alerts and visual markers
Volatility Visualization
The indicator uses color-coding to display different volatility regimes:
Red: Expanding volatility regime (higher measured volatility)
Blue: Normal volatility regime (average measurements)
Green: Contracting volatility regime (lower measured volatility)
Technical Information
The indicator calculates volatility by analyzing price returns over a configurable lookback period (default 50 bars). The standard deviation of returns is normalized against historical extremes to create an adaptive scaling factor.
Band adaptation occurs through two primary mechanisms:
1. Period adjustment: Higher volatility uses shorter periods (more responsive), while lower volatility uses longer periods (more stable)
2. Standard deviation multiplier adjustment: Higher volatility increases the multiplier (wider bands), while lower volatility decreases it (tighter bands)
The middle band uses a simple moving average with the adaptive period. Additional refinement occurs through Keltner Channel integration, which can tighten bands when contained within Keltner boundaries.
Volatility regimes are determined by analyzing Bollinger Bandwidth relative to its recent history, providing contextual information about the current market state.
Settings Customization
The indicator provides extensive customization options:
- Base parameters (period and standard deviation)
- Adaptive range limits (min/max period and standard deviation)
- Keltner Channel parameters for band refinement
- Bandwidth analysis settings
- Display options for visual elements
Limitations and Considerations
All technical indicators have inherent limitations and should not be used in isolation
Past performance does not guarantee future results
The indicator requires sufficient historical data for proper volatility normalization
Smaller timeframes may produce more noise in the adaptive calculations
Parameters may require adjustment for different markets and trading styles
Band crosses are not trading signals on their own and should be evaluated with other factors
This indicator is designed to provide objective information about market volatility conditions and potential support/resistance zones. Always combine with other analysis methods within a comprehensive trading approach.
BBVOL SwiftEdgeBBVOL SwiftEdge – Precision Scalping with Volume and Trend Filtering
Optimized for scalping and short-term trading on fast-moving markets (e.g., 1-minute charts), BBVOL SwiftEdge combines Bollinger Bands, Heikin Ashi smoothing, volume momentum, and EMA trend alignment to deliver actionable buy/sell signals with visual trend cues. Ideal for forex, crypto, and stocks.
What Makes BBVOL SwiftEdge Unique?
Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands scripts that focus solely on price volatility, BBVOL SwiftEdge enhances signal precision by:
Using Heikin Ashi to filter out noise and confirm trend direction, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
Incorporating volume analysis to ensure signals align with significant buying or selling pressure (customizable thresholds).
Adding an EMA overlay to keep trades in sync with the short-term trend.
Coloring candlesticks (green for bullish, red for bearish, purple for consolidation) to visually highlight market conditions at a glance.
How Does It Work?
Buy Signal: Triggers when price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, Heikin Ashi shows bullish momentum (close > open), buy volume exceeds your set threshold (default 30%), and price is above the EMA. A green triangle appears below the candle.
Sell Signal: Triggers when price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band, Heikin Ashi turns bearish (close < open), sell volume exceeds the threshold (default 30%), and price is below the EMA. A red triangle appears above the candle.
Trend Visualization: Candles turn green when price is significantly above the Bollinger Bands’ basis (indicating a bullish trend), red when below (bearish trend), or purple when near the basis (consolidation), based on a customizable threshold (default 10% of BB width).
Risk Management: Each signal calculates a stop-loss (10% beyond the opposite band) and take-profit (opposite band), plotted for reference.
How to Use It
Timeframe: Best on 1-minute to 5-minute charts for scalping; test higher timeframes for swing trading.
Markets: Works well in volatile markets like forex pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), crypto (e.g., BTC/USD), or liquid stocks.
Customization: Adjust Bollinger Bands length (default 10), multiplier (default 1.2), volume thresholds (default 30%), EMA length (default 3), and consolidation threshold (default 0.1%) to match your strategy.
Interpretation: Look for green/red triangles as entry signals, confirmed by candle colors. Purple candles suggest caution—wait for a breakout. Use stop-loss/take-profit levels for trade management.
Underlying Concepts
Bollinger Bands: Measures volatility and identifies overbought/oversold zones.
Heikin Ashi: Smooths price action to emphasize trend direction.
Volume Momentum: Calculates cumulative buy/sell volume percentages to confirm market strength (e.g., buyVolPercent = buyVolume / totalVolume * 100).
EMA: A fast-moving average (default length 3) ensures signals align with the immediate trend.
Chart Setup
The chart displays Bollinger Bands (orange), Heikin Ashi close (green circles), EMA (purple), and volume-scaled lines (lime/red). Signals are marked with triangles, and candle colors reflect trend state. Keep the chart clean by focusing on these outputs for clarity.
Bollinger Bands + Supertrend by XoediacBollinger Bands with Supertrend Indicator by Xeodiac
This script combines two powerful technical analysis tools — Bollinger Bands and the Supertrend Indicator — to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market volatility and trend direction.
Bollinger Bands: These bands consist of a middle band (the simple moving average, or SMA) and two outer bands (calculated as standard deviations away from the middle). The upper and lower bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, expanding during high volatility and contracting during low volatility.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate an adaptive threshold, indicating whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The indicator changes color based on the trend direction, providing clear buy and sell signals.
Features of the Script:
Volatility-based Signals : By incorporating the Bollinger Bands, the script adjusts to market volatility. Traders can identify periods of high and low volatility, helping to gauge potential price breakouts or reversals.
Trend Confirmation: The Supertrend helps confirm the trend direction, ensuring that trades are aligned with the overall market trend. Green Supertrend signals indicate an uptrend, while red signals indicate a downtrend.
Enhanced Decision-making: By using both indicators together, traders can make more informed decisions. For instance, buying opportunities are validated when the price is near the lower Bollinger Band, and the Supertrend is in a bullish phase, and vice versa for selling.
Customizable Parameters: The script allows users to customize the settings for both the Bollinger Bands and the Supertrend, enabling fine-tuning based on trading preferences or market conditions.
Ideal Use Cases:
Identifying trend reversals or continuation patterns in trending markets.
Monitoring price action during periods of low volatility for breakout opportunities.
Filtering out false signals by combining volatility with trend strength.
Bollinger Bands MTF & Kalman Filter | Flux Charts📈 Multi-Timeframe Kalman Filtered Bollinger Bands Indicator
Introducing our MTF Kalman Filtered Bollinger Bands – a powerful multi-timeframe Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator enhanced with Kalman filtering for superior smoothing and trend analysis. This indicator dynamically adapts Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes while incorporating volume-based gradient transparency to highlight significant price movements. This indicator is better optimized for lower timeframes.
❓ How to Interpret the Bands & Volume Gradient:
Our indicator combines Lower Timeframe (LTF) and Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bollinger Bands to provide a comprehensive trend analysis. It applies Kalman filtering to the LTF bands, ensuring smoother, noise-reduced signals. The color gradient and relative volume-based transparency offer deeper insights into price strength.
🔹 LTF Bollinger Bands: Shorter-period bands filtered with a Kalman smoothing algorithm, reducing lag and noise.
🔹 HTF Bollinger Bands: Traditional Bollinger Bands plotted on a higher timeframe, offering macro trend analysis.
🔹 Volume Gradient Transparency: The bands adjust their opacity based on relative buy/sell volume, allowing traders to assess momentum strength.
📌 How Does It Work?
1️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Bands Calculation
The LTF BB uses Kalman filtering for a smoother price representation, helping to reduce false signals.
The HTF BB is EMA-smoothed for improved trend clarity.
2️⃣ Adaptive Gradient Transparency
The opacity of the fill color between the bands is determined by relative buy/sell volume.
Higher buy volume = stronger bullish signal (greener bands).
Higher sell volume = stronger bearish signal (redder bands).
3️⃣ Dynamic Trend Signals & Breakouts
Buy Signal: When price breaks below the HTF lower band and LTF bands start rising.
Sell Signal: When price breaks above the HTF upper band and LTF bands start falling.
⚙️ Settings & Customization:
🛠 LTF and HTF Bollinger Bands Settings:
Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the BB to determine the upper and lower bands
Length: Define the number of bars determines the BB calculations.

RSI with Bollinger Bands and Buy/Sell SignalsPurpose:
This indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with Bollinger Bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It also generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the RSI and the Bollinger Bands. It is particularly useful for traders looking for opportunities in volatile or trending markets.
How It Works:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate whether an asset is overbought (values > 70) or oversold (values < 30).
In this indicator, horizontal lines at levels 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold) are used as reference points.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are calculated around a smoothed moving average of the RSI. The upper band represents dynamic overbought levels, while the lower band indicates dynamic oversold levels.
These bands automatically adjust their width based on the volatility of the RSI, allowing them to adapt to different market conditions.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the RSI exceeds both the upper Bollinger Band and the overbought level (70). This suggests that the asset is in an extreme bullish phase.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the RSI falls below both the lower Bollinger Band and the oversold level (30). This suggests that the asset is in an extreme bearish phase.
Alerts:
The indicator includes automatic alerts to notify you when buy or sell signals are generated. This allows traders to act quickly on new opportunities.
Best Practices:
Confirmation in Lower Timeframes:
Although this indicator is powerful, it is recommended to confirm signals in lower timeframes before making trading decisions. For example:
If you receive a buy signal on a 4-hour chart, check if the RSI and Bollinger Bands on lower timeframes (such as 1 hour or 15 minutes) also show bullish signals.
This reduces the risk of false positives and increases the accuracy of your entries.
Use in Trends:
This indicator works best in markets with clear trends. In sideways or low-volatility markets, signals may be less reliable due to the lack of directional momentum.
Risk Management:
Always use stop-loss and take-profit to protect your positions. Buy and sell signals are just one tool for analysis; they do not guarantee results.
Combination with Other Indicators:
To improve accuracy, consider combining this indicator with others, such as MACD, Stochastic Oscillator, or Japanese candlestick patterns. This can provide additional confirmation before opening a position.
Summary:
The RSI + Bollinger Bands with Buy/Sell Signals indicator is an advanced tool designed to identify entry and exit points in the market based on extreme overbought and oversold conditions. However, to maximize its effectiveness, it is crucial to confirm signals in lower timeframes and use it in combination with other technical analysis tools. With proper risk management and careful interpretation of signals, this indicator can be a valuable ally in your trading strategy.

Multi-Band Comparison (Uptrend)Multi-Band Comparison
Overview:
The Multi-Band Comparison indicator is engineered to reveal critical levels of support and resistance in strong uptrends. In a healthy upward market, the price action will adhere closely to the 95th percentile line (the Upper Quantile Band), effectively “riding” it. This indicator combines a modified Bollinger Band (set at one standard deviation), quantile analysis (95% and 5% levels), and power‑law math to display a dynamic picture of market structure—highlighting a “golden channel” and robust support areas.
Key Components & Calculations:
The Golden Channel: Upper Bollinger Band & Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile
Upper Bollinger Band:
Calculation:
boll_upper=SMA(close,length)+(boll_mult×stdev)
boll_upper=SMA(close,length)+(boll_mult×stdev) Here, the 20-period SMA is used along with one standard deviation of the close, where the multiplier (boll_mult) is 1.0.
Role in an Uptrend:
In a healthy uptrend, price rides near the 95th percentile line. When price crosses above this Upper Bollinger Band, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile (95th Percentile) Band:
Calculation:
quant_upper_std_up=quant_upper+stdev
quant_upper_std_up=quant_upper+stdev The Upper Quantile Band, quant_upperquant_upper, is calculated as the 95th percentile of recent price data. Adding one standard deviation creates an extension that accounts for normal volatility around this extreme level.
The Golden Channel:
When the price crosses above the Upper Bollinger Band, the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile immediately shifts to gold (yellow) and remains gold until price falls below the Bollinger level. Together, these two lines form the “golden channel”—a visual hallmark of a healthy uptrend where the price reliably hugs the 95th percentile level.
Upper Power‑Law Band
Calculation:
The Upper Power‑Law Band is derived in two steps:
Determine the Extreme Return Factor:
power_upper=Percentile(returns,95%)
power_upper=Percentile(returns,95%) where returns are computed as:
returns=closeclose −1.
returns=close close−1.
Scale the Current Price:
power_upper_band=close×(1+power_upper)
power_upper_band=close×(1+power_upper)
Rationale and Correlation:
By focusing on the upper 5% of returns (reflecting “fat tails”), the Upper Power‑Law Band captures extreme but statistically expected movements. In an uptrend, its value often converges with the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile because both measures reflect heightened volatility and extreme price levels. When the Upper Power‑Law Band exceeds the Upper Std Dev Band, it can signal a temporary overextension.
Upper Quantile Band (95% Percentile)
Calculation:
quant_upper=Percentile(price,95%)
quant_upper=Percentile(price,95%) This level represents where 95% of past price data falls below, and in a robust uptrend the price action practically rides this line.
Color Logic:
Its color shifts from a neutral (blackish) tone to a vibrant, bullish hue when the Upper Power‑Law Band crosses above it—signaling extra strength in the trend.
Lower Quantile and Its Support
Lower Quantile Band (5% Percentile):
Calculation:
quant_lower=Percentile(price,5%)
quant_lower=Percentile(price,5%)
Behavior:
In a healthy uptrend, price remains well above the Lower Quantile Band. It turns red only when price touches or crosses it, serving as a warning signal. Under normal conditions it remains bright green, indicating the market is not nearing these extreme lows.
Lower Std Dev Band of the Lower Quantile:
This line is calculated by subtracting one standard deviation from quant_lowerquant_lower and typically serves as absolute support in nearly all conditions (except during gap or near-gap moves). Its consistent role as support provides traders with a robust level to monitor.
How to Use the Indicator:
Golden Channel and Trend Confirmation:
As price rides the Upper Quantile (95th percentile) perfectly in a healthy uptrend, the Upper Bollinger Band (1 stdev above SMA) and the Upper Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile form a “golden channel” once price crosses above the Bollinger level. When this occurs, the Upper Std Dev Band remains gold until price dips back below the Bollinger Band. This visual cue reinforces trend strength.
Power‑Law Insights:
The Upper Power‑Law Band, which is based on extreme (95th percentile) returns, tends to align with the Upper Std Dev Band. This convergence reinforces that extreme, yet statistically expected, price moves are occurring—indicating that even though the price rides the 95th percentile, it can only stretch so far before a correction or consolidation.
Support Indicators:
Primary and Secondary Support in Uptrends:
The Upper Bollinger Band and the Lower Std Dev Band of the Upper Quantile act as support zones for minor retracements in the uptrend.
Absolute Support:
The Lower Std Dev Band of the Lower Quantile serves as an almost invariable support area under most market conditions.
Conclusion:
The Multi-Band Comparison indicator unifies advanced statistical techniques to offer a clear view of uptrend structure. In a healthy bull market, price action rides the 95th percentile line with precision, and when the Upper Bollinger Band is breached, the corresponding Upper Std Dev Band turns gold to form a “golden channel.” This, combined with the Power‑Law analysis that captures extreme moves, and the robust lower support levels, provides traders with powerful, multi-dimensional insights for managing entries, exits, and risk.

Uptrick: Volatility Reversion BandsUptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands is an indicator designed to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market by combining volatility and momentum analysis within one comprehensive framework. It calculates dynamic bands around a simple moving average and issues signals when price interacts with these bands. Below is a fully expanded description, structured in multiple sections, detailing originality, usefulness, uniqueness, and the purpose behind blending standard deviation-based and ATR-based concepts. All references to code have been removed to focus on the written explanation only.
Section 1: Overview
Uptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands centers on a moving average around which various bands are constructed. These bands respond to changes in price volatility and can help gauge potential overbought or oversold conditions. Signals occur when the price moves beyond certain thresholds, which may imply a reversal or significant momentum shift.
Section 2: Originality, Usefulness, Uniqness, Purpose
This indicator merges two distinct volatility measurements—Bollinger Bands and ATR—into one cohesive system. Bollinger Bands use standard deviation around a moving average, offering a baseline for what is statistically “normal” price movement relative to a recent mean. When price hovers near the upper band, it may indicate overbought conditions, whereas price near the lower band suggests oversold conditions. This straightforward construction often proves invaluable in moderate-volatility settings, as it pinpoints likely turning points and gauges a market’s typical trading range.
Yet Bollinger Bands alone can falter in conditions marked by abrupt volatility spikes or sudden gaps that deviate from recent norms. Intraday news, earnings releases, or macroeconomic data can alter market behavior so swiftly that standard-deviation bands do not keep pace. This is where ATR (Average True Range) adds an important layer. ATR tracks recent highs, lows, and potential gaps to produce a dynamic gauge of how much price is truly moving from bar to bar. In quieter times, ATR contracts, reflecting subdued market activity. In fast-moving markets, ATR expands, exposing heightened volatility on each new bar.
By overlaying Bollinger Bands and ATR-based calculations, the indicator achieves a broader situational awareness. Bollinger Bands excel at highlighting relative overbought or oversold areas tied to an established average. ATR simultaneously scales up or down based on real-time market swings, signaling whether conditions are calm or turbulent. When combined, this means a price that barely crosses the Bollinger Band but also triggers a high ATR-based threshold is likely experiencing a volatility surge that goes beyond typical market fluctuations. Conversely, a price breach of a Bollinger Band when ATR remains low may still warrant attention, but not necessarily the same urgency as in a high-volatility regime.
The resulting synergy offers balanced, context-rich signals. In a strong trend, the ATR layer helps confirm whether an apparent price breakout really has momentum or if it is just a temporary spike. In a range-bound market, standard deviation-based Bollinger Bands define normal price extremes, while ATR-based extensions highlight whether a breakout attempt has genuine force behind it. Traders gain clarity on when a move is both statistically unusual and accompanied by real volatility expansion, thus carrying a higher probability of a directional follow-through or eventual reversion.
Practical advantages emerge across timeframes. Scalpers in fast-paced markets appreciate how ATR-based thresholds update rapidly, revealing if a sudden price push is routine or exceptional. Swing traders can rely on both indicators to filter out false signals in stable conditions or identify truly notable moves. By calibrating to changes in volatility, the merged system adapts naturally whether the market is trending, ranging, or transitioning between these phases.
In summary, combining Bollinger Bands (for a static sense of standard-deviation-based overbought/oversold zones) with ATR (for a dynamic read on current volatility) yields an adaptive, intuitive indicator. Traders can better distinguish fleeting noise from meaningful expansions, enabling more informed entries, exits, and risk management. Instead of relying on a single yardstick for all market conditions, this fusion provides a layered perspective, encouraging traders to interpret price moves in the broader context of changing volatility.
Section 3: Why Bollinger Bands and ATR are combined
Bollinger Bands provide a static snapshot of volatility by computing a standard deviation range above and below a central average. ATR, on the other hand, adapts in real time to expansions or contractions in market volatility. When combined, these measures offset each other’s limitations: Bollinger Bands add structure (overbought and oversold references), and ATR ensures responsiveness to rapid price shifts. This synergy helps reduce noisy signals, particularly during sudden market turbulence or extended consolidations.
Section 4: User Inputs
Traders can adjust several parameters to suit their preferences and strategies. These typically include:
1. Lookback length for calculating the moving average and standard deviation.
2. Multipliers to control the width of Bollinger Bands.
3. An ATR multiplier to set the distance for additional reversal bands.
4. An option to display weaker signals when the price merely approaches but does not cross the outer bands.
Section 5: Main Calculations
At the core of this indicator are four important steps:
1. Calculate a basis using a simple moving average.
2. Derive Bollinger Bands by adding and subtracting a product of the standard deviation and a user-defined multiplier.
3. Compute ATR over the same lookback period and multiply it by the selected factor.
4. Combine ATR-based distance with the Bollinger Bands to set the outer reversal bands, which serve as stronger signal thresholds.
Section 6: Signal Generation
The script interprets meaningful reversal points when the price:
1. Crosses below the lower outer band, potentially highlighting oversold conditions where a bullish reversal may occur.
2. Crosses above the upper outer band, potentially indicating overbought conditions where a bearish reversal may develop.
Section 7: Visualization
The indicator provides visual clarity through labeled signals and color-coded references:
1. Distinct colors for upper and lower reversal bands.
2. Markers that appear above or below bars to denote possible buying or selling signals.
3. A gradient bar color scheme indicating a bar’s position between the lower and upper bands, helping traders quickly see if the price is near either extreme.
Section 8: Weak Signals (Optional)
For those preferring early cues, the script can highlight areas where the price nears the outer bands. When weak signals are enabled:
1. Bars closer to the upper reversal zone receive a subtle marker suggesting a less robust, yet still noteworthy, potential selling area.
2. Bars closer to the lower reversal zone receive a subtle marker suggesting a less robust, yet still noteworthy, potential buying area.
Section 9: Simplicity, Effectiveness, and Lower Timeframes
Although combining standard deviation and ATR involves sophisticated volatility concepts, this indicator is visually straightforward. Reversal bands and gradient-colored bars make it easy to see at a glance when price approaches or crosses a threshold. Day traders operating on lower timeframes benefit from such clarity because it helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on more meaningful signals.
Section 10: Adaptability across Market Phases
Because both the standard deviation (for Bollinger Bands) and ATR adapt to changing volatility, the indicator naturally adjusts to various environments:
1. Trending: The additional ATR-based outer bands help distinguish between temporary pullbacks and deeper reversals.
2. Ranging: Bollinger Bands often remain narrower, identifying smaller reversals, while the outer ATR bands remain relatively close to the main bands.
Section 11: Reduced Noise in High-Volatility Scenarios
By factoring ATR into the band calculations, the script widens or narrows the thresholds during rapid market fluctuations. This reduces the amount of false triggers typically found in indicators that rely solely on fixed calculations, preventing overreactions to abrupt but short-lived price spikes.
Section 12: Incorporation with Other Technical Tools
Many traders combine this indicator with oscillators such as RSI, MACD, or Stochastic, as well as volume metrics. Overbought or oversold signals in momentum oscillators can provide additional confirmation when price reaches the outer bands, while volume spikes may reinforce the significance of a breakout or potential reversal.
Section 13: Risk Management Considerations
All trading strategies carry risk. This indicator, like any tool, can and does produce losing trades if price unexpectedly reverses again or if broader market conditions shift rapidly. Prudent traders employ protective measures:
1. Stop-loss orders or trailing stops.
2. Position sizing that accounts for market volatility.
3. Diversification across different asset classes when possible.
Section 14: Overbought and Oversold Identification
Standard Bollinger Bands highlight regions where price might be overextended relative to its recent average. The extended ATR-based reversal bands serve as secondary lines of defense, identifying moments when price truly stretches beyond typical volatility bounds.
Section 15: Parameter Customization for Different Needs
Users can tailor the script to their unique preferences:
1. Shorter lookback settings yield faster signals but risk more noise.
2. Higher multipliers spread the bands further apart, filtering out small moves but generating fewer signals.
3. Longer lookback periods smooth out market noise, often leading to more stable but less frequent trading cues.
Section 16: Examples of Different Trading Styles
1. Day Traders: Often reduce the length to capture quick price swings.
2. Swing Traders: May use moderate lengths such as 20 to 50 bars.
3. Position Traders: Might opt for significantly longer settings to detect macro-level reversals.
Section 17: Performance Limitations and Reality Check
No technical indicator is free from false signals. Sudden fundamental news events, extreme sentiment changes, or low-liquidity conditions can render signals less reliable. Backtesting and forward-testing remain essential steps to gauge whether the indicator aligns well with a trader’s timeframe, risk tolerance, and instrument of choice.
Section 18: Merging Volatility and Momentum
A critical uniqueness of this indicator lies in how it merges Bollinger Bands (standard deviation-based) with ATR (pure volatility measure). Bollinger Bands provide a relative measure of price extremes, while ATR dynamically reacts to market expansions and contractions. Together, they offer an enhanced perspective on potential market turns, ideally reducing random noise and highlighting moments where price has traveled beyond typical bounds.
Section 19: Purpose of this Merger
The fundamental purpose behind blending standard deviation measures with real-time volatility data is to accommodate different market behaviors. Static standard deviation alone can underreact or overreact in abnormally volatile conditions. ATR alone lacks a baseline reference to normality. By merging them, the indicator aims to provide:
1. A versatile dynamic range for both typical and extreme moves.
2. A filter against frequent whipsaws, especially in choppy environments.
3. A visual framework that novices and experts can interpret rapidly.
Section 20: Summary and Practical Tips
Uptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands offers a powerful tool for traders looking to combine volatility-based signals with momentum-derived reversals. It emphasizes clarity through color-coded bars, defined reversal zones, and optional weak signal markers. While potentially useful across all major timeframes, it demands ongoing risk management, realistic expectations, and careful study of how signals behave under different market conditions. No indicator serves as a crystal ball, so integrating this script into an overall strategy—possibly alongside volume data, fundamentals, or momentum oscillators—often yields the best results.
Disclaimer and Educational Use
