Adaptive Bollinger Bands [jwammo12]This takes Ehler's work that dynamically finds the frequency of market cycles and applies it to the concept of Bollinger Bands.
First the dominant cycle length is found using Ehler's methods, this is then used as the length to the moving average and deviation.
I also ended up using an exponential average rather than a simple average for both the moving average center line and the sum of the squares when finding the deviation.
credit goes to LazyBear for coding Ehler's original ideas in pine, which I then used for this script.

RSI+Bollinger BandsThis is a simple RSI with applied Bollinger Bands. The BB may help spotting "hidden" divergences or "fake" divergences. For instance: in an uptrend we have a high followed by a higher high, the plain RSI shows a divergence, adding BB we see that the first (higher) RSI high is inside the BB, while the second (lower) RSI high is outside the bands, this would be a fake divergence.
The use of the indicator should be straightforward, for any questions feel free to write me a message

RSI indicator with Bollinger Bands in one. Forgot oversold and overbought!
With BB and RSI you can dinamically saw when RSI is in critical values. And when you can see figure 'M' or 'W' in oscillator it means that current movement of impulse is down.

RSI и Ленты Боллинджера в одном. Забудьте о тупых линиях перекупленности и перепроданности!
При работе в связке вы можете определять эти зоны динамически. И при формировании фигуры 'M' или 'W' на осцилляторе будет четко показано, что текущий импульс умер, надо выходить из сделки.
Example of usage (exit points) / Пример использования (точки выхода)
Fibonacci Bollinger BandsThese Bollinger bands feature Fibonacci retracements to very clearly show areas of support and resistance. The basis is calculate off of the Volume Weighted Moving Average. The Bands are 3 standard deviations away from the mean. 99.73% of observations should be in this range.
Triple Bollinger BandsI found myself using multiple bollinger bands a lot so I decided to add them all to one script and add the ability to adjust them by 0.2. It has helped me by not taking up as much space in the upper left corner as well as improving my in's and outs of trend continuation trades. If you manage to find a double top at +2 or greater deviation, and with a bearish divergence on the RSI as shown in this picture, GO SHORT SON! This was a fast and easy 35 - 40 pips and if you used your fibonacci for an exit you had little doubt of the final result and could have even been prepared for an immediate reversal knowing you were then at an oversold -2.8 deviation. I could go on and on........

P/VF BollThis code draws a custom indicator named "P/VF Boll" on the price chart with the following visual elements:
1. **Basis Line (Blue)**: This line represents the moving average value (ma_value) calculated based on the user-selected moving average type (SMA, EMA, or WMA) and length.
2. **Upper Bands (Green)**: The upper bands are calculated by adding a certain multiple of the standard deviation (dev1 to dev12) to the basis line. These bands represent a certain level of price volatility above the moving average.
3. **Lower Bands (Red)**: The lower bands are calculated by subtracting a certain multiple of the standard deviation (dev1 to dev12) from the basis line. These bands represent a certain level of price volatility below the moving average.
4. **Histogram (White and Gray)**: A histogram is drawn only when the average_price_change values are outside the 3rd standard deviation (dev3) and beyond. The histogram color alternates between white and gray, indicating higher price volatility.
The user can customize the following parameters:
- Average Length: The length of the moving average.
- Moving Average Type: The type of moving average to be used (SMA, EMA, or WMA).
- Timeframe: The timeframe used to calculate volume data.
- Deviation 1 to Deviation 12: Multipliers for calculating the upper and lower bands.
The purpose of this indicator is to visually represent the relationship between price volatility, volume, and the moving average, allowing traders to assess potential price breakouts or reversals when the price moves beyond certain levels of standard deviations from the moving average.
Bollinger Bands Trending Reverse StrategyWelcome to yet another script. This script was a lot easier since I was stuck for so long on the Donchian Channels one and learned so much from that one that I could use in this one.
This code should be a lot cleaner compared to the Donchian Channels, but we'll leave that up to the pro's.
This strategy has two entry signals, long = when price hits lower band, while above EMA, previous candle was bearish and current candle is bullish.
Short = when price hits upper band, while below EMA, previous candle was bullish and current candle is bearish.
Take profits are the opposite side's band(lower band for long signals, upper band for short signals). This means our take profit price will change per bar.
Our stop loss doesn't change, it's the difference between entry price and the take profit target divided by the input risk reward.
Bollinger Band Crossover SignalI'm a little surprised I couldn't find a BB crossover script on here since I've always used it on other charting software. So of course I had to write one in for TradingView.
Essentially what this script signifies are price breakouts when price crosses over the upper BB band. So what it shows is that market conditions are entering overbought territory.
Length is set to 20 and Standard Deviation is set to 2. These are the default settings.
The way I use the script is to identify breakouts in price, as well as a signal to start scaling out of a position if I am already in one.

Bollinger Magnets - JDThis indicator does the same thing as my "Deviation Magnet" script, but is in 'overlay' form
and is more oriented towards the people who like to keep their eyes on the chart rather than a bottom indicator.
As tated in my "Deviation Magnet" script, contrary to the popular use where price is seen as BOUNCING AGAINST the different deviations (or upper and lower BBands),
I tend to find that price likes to STICK to those deviations once it hits them (with a high or a low wick) and "rides them" for a while.
I call this "THE MAGNET EFFECT" of the standard deviations.
The indicator highlights those "MAGNET MOVES".
For most assets I like to use 50 period deviations better than the standard 20 period because it shows the bigger trends better
but of course this can be modified to your liking!

Bollinger Levels Table - Horizontal Support ZonesBollinger Levels Table - Horizontal Support Zones Indicator (with Customizable Options)
The "Bollinger Levels Table - Horizontal Support Zones" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to help you identify potential support areas on your chart using moving averages and Bollinger Bands. The indicator displays an organized table of key price levels and draws horizontal lines on the chart, providing clear visibility of potential support zones.
What Does This Indicator Do?
This indicator aims to simplify support analysis by consolidating and displaying significant price levels derived from three different Bollinger Band settings: BB10, BB20, and BB50. It calculates both the Mid-line (Basis) and the Lower Band for each of these settings.
Furthermore, the indicator automatically arranges these levels from highest to lowest in an easy-to-read table, assigning a "Payment" label to each level. These "Payments" are simply labels to help you track the levels in descending order.
How Does This Indicator Work?
Bollinger Band Calculations: The indicator uses the standard Bollinger Band formula:
Mid-line (Basis): A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price over a specified period.
Standard Deviation (Dev): The standard deviation of the closing price over the same period, multiplied by a Multiplier.
Lower Band: The Mid-line minus the Standard Deviation.
These calculations are applied to three different periods: 10, 20, and 50, providing a variety of potential support levels based on different timeframes. You can adjust the values for these lengths (10, 20, 50) and the Multiplier through the indicator's settings.
Table Construction: A dynamic table is created on the chart (which can be positioned in the top or bottom right corner based on the current price's position). This table displays:
Indicator: The name of the Bollinger Band level (e.g., BB10 Mid, BB20 Lower).
Price: The exact price value of that level.
Payments: A label indicating the level's order in the table.
Level Ordering: All calculated levels are dynamically sorted from highest to lowest to present them in a logical order within the table.
Horizontal Line Plotting: Horizontal lines are drawn on the chart for each selected level, providing a visual representation of the potential support areas. These lines are colored black and have a consistent width for easy identification.
How to Use This Indicator:
This indicator is intended to provide potential entry points or accumulation zones for trades, especially for traders employing Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategies or building positions in stages. The levels displayed in the table and on the chart can represent potential support levels where one might consider initiating or adding to a position.
In the indicator's settings, you'll find important options:
Multiplier: Controls the width of the Bollinger Bands (default 2.0).
BB Lengths: Allows you to adjust the periods for the moving averages (default 20, 50, 10).
Visible Levels: This is the new feature! Here, you can select which levels you wish to see in the table and on the chart. Simply check or uncheck the boxes next to each level (BB10 Mid, BB10 Lower, and so on) to customize the indicator's display according to your strategy and needs.
Underlying Concepts:
This indicator is based on the principle that Bollinger Bands can act as dynamic support and resistance zones.
Mid-line (SMA): Often functions as a medium-term support or resistance.
Lower Band: Typically indicates that the price is relatively low and may find support, making it a potential area for buying or starting to build a position.
By combining different Bollinger Band timeframes (10, 20, 50), the indicator gives you a multi-timeframe perspective on support areas, helping you identify the most relevant levels for your strategy.
Note: While the indicator provides "Payments" for the levels, this is purely a sequential labeling within the table to assist your position-building strategy. There is no actual payment functionality associated with this indicator.
Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit ThresholdsBollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds
Author of enhancements: chuckaschultz
Inspired and adapted from the original 'Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator' by LuxAlgo
Overview
Pairs nicely with Contrarian 100 MA
The Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds is a powerful momentum-based indicator designed to help traders identify potential entry and exit points in trending or breakout markets. By leveraging Bollinger Bands, this indicator quantifies price deviations from the bands to generate bullish and bearish momentum signals, displayed as an oscillator. It includes customizable entry and exit signals based on user-defined thresholds, with visual cues plotted either on the oscillator panel or directly on the price chart.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to capture breakout opportunities or confirm trend strength, with flexible settings to adapt to various markets and trading styles.
How It Works
The Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds calculates two key metrics:
Bullish Momentum (Bull): Measures the extent to which the price exceeds the upper Bollinger Band, expressed as a percentage (0–100).
Bearish Momentum (Bear): Measures the extent to which the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, also expressed as a percentage (0–100).
The indicator generates:
Long Entry Signals: Triggered when the bearish momentum (bear) crosses below a user-defined Long Threshold (default: 40). This suggests weakening bearish pressure, potentially indicating a reversal or breakout to the upside.
Exit Signals: Triggered when the bullish momentum (bull) crosses below a user-defined Sell Threshold (default: 80), indicating a potential reduction in bullish momentum and a signal to exit long positions.
Signals are visualized as tiny colored dots:
Long Entry: Blue dots, plotted either at the bottom of the oscillator or below the price bar (depending on user settings).
Exit Signal: White dots, plotted either at the top of the oscillator or above the price bar.
Calculation Methodology
Bollinger Bands:
A user-defined Length (default: 14) is used to calculate an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the source price (default: close).
Standard deviation is computed over the same length, multiplied by a user-defined Multiplier (default: 1.0).
Upper Band = EMA + (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
Lower Band = EMA - (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
Bull and Bear Momentum:
For each bar in the lookback period (length), the indicator calculates:
Bullish Momentum: The sum of positive deviations of the price above the upper band, normalized by the total absolute deviation from the upper band, scaled to a 0–100 range.
Bearish Momentum: The sum of positive deviations of the price below the lower band, normalized by the total absolute deviation from the lower band, scaled to a 0–100 range.
Formula:
bull = (sum of max(price - upper, 0) / sum of abs(price - upper)) * 100
bear = (sum of max(lower - price, 0) / sum of abs(lower - price)) * 100
Signal Generation:
Long Entry: Triggered when bear crosses below the Long Threshold.
Exit: Triggered when bull crosses below the Sell Threshold.
Settings
Length: Lookback period for EMA and standard deviation (default: 14).
Multiplier: Multiplier for standard deviation to adjust Bollinger Band width (default: 1.0).
Source: Input price data (default: close).
Long Threshold: Bearish momentum level below which a long entry signal is generated (default: 40).
Sell Threshold: Bullish momentum level below which an exit signal is generated (default: 80).
Plot Signals on Main Chart: Option to display entry/exit signals on the price chart instead of the oscillator panel (default: false).
Style:
Bullish Color: Color for bullish momentum plot (default: #f23645).
Bearish Color: Color for bearish momentum plot (default: #089981).
Visual Features
Bull and Bear Plots: Displayed as colored lines with gradient fills for visual clarity.
Midline: Horizontal line at 50 for reference.
Threshold Lines: Dashed green line for Long Threshold and dashed red line for Sell Threshold.
Signal Dots:
Long Entry: Tiny blue dots (below price bar or at oscillator bottom).
Exit: Tiny white dots (above price bar or at oscillator top).
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust Settings: Customize the Length, Multiplier, Long Threshold, and Sell Threshold to suit your trading strategy.
Interpret Signals:
Enter a long position when a blue dot appears, indicating bearish momentum dropping below the Long Threshold.
Exit the long position when a white dot appears, indicating bullish momentum dropping below the Sell Threshold.
Toggle Plot Location: Enable Plot Signals on Main Chart to display signals on the price chart for easier integration with price action analysis.
Combine with Other Tools: Use alongside other indicators (e.g., trendlines, support/resistance) to confirm signals.
Notes
This indicator is inspired by LuxAlgo’s Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator but has been enhanced with customizable entry/exit thresholds and signal plotting options.
Best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to filter false signals, especially in choppy or range-bound markets.
Adjust the Multiplier to make the Bollinger Bands wider or narrower, affecting the sensitivity of the momentum calculations.

Bollinger Bands [LePasha]Bollinger Bands : Advanced Volatility Analysis Made Simple
Discover a refined take on Bollinger Bands that offers clearer market insights and deeper volatility understanding — perfect for traders seeking precision and confidence.
What Is the Bollinger Bands Indicator?
The Bollinger Bands indicator is a powerful, overlay chart tool designed to help traders visualize price volatility and identify potential market extremes more effectively.
Unlike classic Bollinger Bands which use just two standard deviation bands, this enhanced version employs multiple deviation levels around a simple moving average (SMA) to give a richer picture of market dynamics.
Key Features
Multiple Deviation Bands: Instead of only ±2 standard deviations, it uses three extended levels: 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 standard deviations to highlight subtle and extreme price movements.
Color-coded Volatility Zones: Each band range is filled with translucent red or teal shades to help traders visually grasp the intensity of price moves.
Customizable Length and Toggle: Adjust the length of the bands and enable or disable the indicator easily through inputs.
Why Three Deviation Levels?
Traditional Bollinger Bands (±2 standard deviations) cover approximately 95% of price action, but markets often present significant moves beyond this range that are important to identify for better risk management and trading decisions.
The three deviation levels serve distinct purposes:
Deviation Level Approximate Purpose Market Insight Provided
±2.5 SD Captures strong but fairly common moves Entry/exit trigger zones for trending moves
±3.0 SD Highlights more extreme, less frequent moves Indicates breakout strength or overextension
±3.5 SD Marks rare and extreme price deviations Signals potential reversal or exhaustion
This graduated scale allows traders to differentiate between normal volatility, strong momentum, and possible exhaustion—making it easier to tailor trading decisions according to market context.
How to Use Bollinger Bands
Identify Volatility Zones:
Observe how price interacts with the colored bands:
Price touching or crossing the ±2.5 SD band may indicate a strong move is underway.
Price breaching the ±3.0 or ±3.5 SD bands signals rare, extreme market conditions, which could be either a breakout or a setup for reversal.
Combine With Trend Analysis:
Use in conjunction with trend indicators like moving averages or volume to confirm the direction or strength of moves indicated by the bands.
Adjust Your Stops and Targets:
The layered bands help you set more intelligent stop losses and take profit zones by understanding how far price can reasonably stray.
Visual Clarity for Market Phases:
The shaded fills between bands give intuitive visual cues of volatility expansion and contraction phases.
Why Traders Choose Bollinger Bands
Greater Precision: More nuanced volatility detection than traditional Bollinger Bands.
Visual Elegance: Soft translucent fills and clear band lines reduce clutter while delivering maximum insight.
User-Friendly: Easy to toggle and adjust with minimal setup.
Versatile: Effective across assets, timeframes, and trading styles.
Final Thoughts
The Bollinger Bands indicator is more than just a volatility tool — it's your visual guide to understanding how extreme price moves develop in real-time. Whether you’re entering new trades, managing risk, or hunting reversals, this indicator equips you with superior clarity and confidence.
Add Bollinger Bands to your TradingView toolkit and see volatility like never before.
Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion by Kevin Davey Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion Strategy Description
The Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion Strategy is a popular trading approach based on the concept of volatility and market overreaction. The strategy leverages Bollinger Bands, which consist of an upper and lower band plotted around a central moving average, typically using standard deviations to measure volatility. When the price moves beyond these bands, it signals potential overbought or oversold conditions, and the strategy seeks to exploit a reversion back to the mean (the central band).
Strategy Components:
1. Bollinger Bands:
The bands are calculated using a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a multiple (usually 2.0) of the standard deviation of the asset’s price over the same period. The upper band represents the SMA plus two standard deviations, while the lower band is the SMA minus two standard deviations. The distance between the bands increases with higher volatility and decreases with lower volatility.
2. Mean Reversion:
Mean reversion theory suggests that, over time, prices tend to move back toward their historical average. In this strategy, a buy signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a potential oversold condition. Conversely, the position is closed when the price rises back above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling an overbought condition.
Entry and Exit Logic:
Buy Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the price closes below the lower Bollinger Band, anticipating a mean reversion to the central band (SMA).
Sell Condition: The long position is exited when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band, implying that the market is likely overbought and a reversal could occur.
This approach uses mean reversion principles, aiming to capitalize on short-term price extremes and volatility compression, often seen in sideways or non-trending markets. Scientific studies have shown that mean reversion strategies, particularly those based on volatility indicators like Bollinger Bands, can be effective in capturing small but frequent price reversals  .
Scientific Basis for Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands, developed by John Bollinger, are widely regarded in both academic literature and practical trading as an essential tool for volatility analysis and mean reversion strategies. Research has shown that Bollinger Bands effectively identify relative price highs and lows, and can be used to forecast price volatility and detect potential breakouts . Studies in financial markets, such as those by Fernández-Rodríguez et al. (2003), highlight the efficacy of Bollinger Bands in detecting overbought or oversold conditions in various assets .

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.
