Bollinger Bands (BB)
Indicator: Custom COG channelThis is my custom channel (Bear Channel!? :)) derived from BB/STARC. It uses both ATR/STDEV for plotting the bounds.
I use COG (Center of Gravity) for deriving the baseline. This enables it to track the price action better than many other channels that make use of MAs or simply "close". Indicator also marks "squeezes" (stdev bands come inside ATR bands). Pay attention to these, as these usually indicate a move.
I am still exploring this indicator on different BTCUSD time frames, would love to hear your feedback / setups for other instruments.
Code for this indicator: pastebin.com
Code for COG fibs I mentioned in the comments: pastebin.com
Indicator: MFI or RSI enclosed by Bollinger BandsIndicator allows choosing either MFI or RSI and draws a BB over it to identify oversold / overbought conditions.
Oversold/Overbought breaches are highlighted using different colors for easy identification. Has helped me a lot during sudden pumps to identify the tops, hope you find a use for this.
Trading Strategy based on BB/KC squeeze**** [Edit: New version (v02) posted, see the comments section for the code *****
Simple strategy. You only consider taking a squeeze play when both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel. When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and a move is about to take place.
I have added more support indicators -- I highlight the bullish / bearish KC breaches (using GREEN/RED crosses) and a SAR to see where price action is trending.
Appreciate any feedback. Enjoy!
Color codes for v02:
----------------------------
When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is on and is highlighted in RED.
When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and is highlighted in GREEN.
When one of the Bollinger Bands is out of Keltner Channel, no highlighting is done (this means, the background color shows up, so don't get confused if you have RED/GREEN in your chart's bground :))
Color codes for v01:
----------------------------
When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is on and is highlighted in YELLOW.
When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and is highlighted in BLUE.
