BB_MDL_V1Simple indicator that is based on the average line of the bollinger bands and the exponential average of 200 periods.
The customizable variable is bollinger bands length, currently the default is 35, you can tweak it to your liking and see how trend identification changes.
My recommendation is to work in 5-minute time frames in values such as SOL, FTM or MASK (cryptos)
This simple strategy can be combined with many others to gain more insight and get better market entries and exits.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Trend IndicatorThis indicator has different features:
1. Ichimoku = this indicator can plot Ichimoku calculated both in the common formula and with the volume average, you can choose the calculator method for each line.
2. Channel and Bands = this mode allows the user to choose from channel and band, "channel" shows the Keltner channel, and "band" shows the Bollinger bands. Both the indicators are calculated including the volume in the formula of the average midpoint.
3. Color candle = this function allows the user to see two different colors of candles on the chart, the positive color occurs when both the long-term average and the short team average of price calculated using the volume is above the two averages calculated without the volume. This function is great to analyze the volume pressure, useful to identify trend continuation and exhaustion.
4. Extreme reversal zones = this is a version of the Keltner channels calculated over a high number of candles and with high deviation, to identify the potential zones of reversal.
Note that in the "Ichimoku" indicator, the backline is the T.R.A.M.A. indicator, created and published open source by Lux Algo, which I thank for the script.
+ Bollinger Bands WidthHere is my rendition of Bollinger Bands Width. If you are unfamiliar, Bollinger Bands Width is a measure of the distance between the top and bottom bands of Bollinger Bands. Bollinger Bands themselves being a measure of market volatility, BB Width is a simpler, cleaner way of determining the amount of volatility in the market. Myself, I found the original, basic version of BB Width a bit too basic, and I thought that by adding to it it might make for an improvement for traders over the original.
Simple things that I've done are adding a signal line; adding a 'baseline' using Donchian Channels (such as that which is in my Average Candle Bodies Range indicator); adding bar and background coloring; and adding alerts for increasing volatility, and baseline and signal line crosses. It really ends up making for a much improved version of the basic indicator.
A note on how I created the baseline:
First, what do I mean by 'baseline?' I think of it as an area of the indicator where if the BB Width is below you will not want to enter into any trades, and if the BB Width is above then you are free to enter trades based on your system. It's basically a volatility measure of the volatility indicator. Waddah Attar Explosion is a popular indicator that implements something similar. The baseline is calculated thus: make a Donchian Channel of the BB Width, and then use the basis as the baseline while not plotting the actual highs and lows of the Donchian Channel. Now, the basis of a Donchian Channel is the average of the highs and the lows. If we did that here we would have a baseline much too high, however, by making the basis adjustable with a divisor input it no longer must be plotted in the center of the channel, but may be moved much lower (unless you set the divisor to 2, but you wouldn't do that). This divisor is essentially a sensitivity adjustment for the indicator. Of course you don't have to use the baseline. You could ignore it and only use the signal line, or just use the rising and falling of the BB Width by itself as your volatility measure.
I should make note: the main image above at default settings is an 8 period lookback (so, yes, that is quite fast), and the signal line is a Hull MA set to 13. The background and bar coloring are simply set to the rising and falling of the BB Width. Images below will show some different settings, but definitely play with it yourself to determine if it might be a good fit for your system.
Above, settings are background and bar coloring tuned to BB Width being above the baseline, and also requiring that the BB Width be rising. Background coloring only highlights increasing volatility or volatility above a certain threshold. Grey candles are because the BB Width is above the baseline but falling. We'll see an example without the requirement of BB Width rising, below.
Here, we see that background highlights and aqua candles are more prevalent because I've checked off the requirement that BB Width be rising. The idea is that BB Width is above the baseline therefor there is sufficient volatility to enter trades if our indicators give us the go-ahead.
This here is set to BB Width being above the signal line and also requiring a rising BB Width. Keep in mind the signal line is a Hull MA.
And this fourth and final image uses a volume-weighted MA as the signal line. Bar coloring is turned off, and instead the checkboxes for volatility advancing and declining are turned on under the signal line options. BB Width crosses up the signal line is advancing volatility, while falling below it is declining volatility. Background highlights are set to baseline and not requiring a rising BB Width. This way, with a quick glance you can see if the rising volatility is legitimate, i.e., is the cross up of the signal line coupled with it being above the baseline.
Please enjoy.
Ignition Band Angles are Bollinger Bands with numeric angleI developed Bollinger Bands that provide a numeric value indicating their strength. To achieve this, I used the degree of the angle of attack and color-coded the numbers. The top band displays the number in the upper corner of the chart, the bottom band in the bottom corner, and the Basis is in the left middle. These numbers quantify the slope of the bands, which can be difficult to discern on a chart because stretching out the x and y axis can flatten or exaggerate a slope. With my Bollinger Bands, you get a constant reading that provides an accurate measurement of the angle and strength of a trend. I hope this helps.
Weighted Deviation Bands [Loxx]What are Weighted Deviation Bands?
Variation of the Bollinger bands but it uses linear weighted average and weighted deviation via Mladen Rakic.
What is Weighted Deviation?
This weighted deviation is a sort of all linear weighted deviation. It uses linear weighting in all the steps calculated (which makes it different from the built in deviation in a case when linear weighted ma is used in the ma method). It is more responsive than the standard deviation
Included
Bar coloring
Fibonacci Volatility BandsFibonacci Volatility Bands are just an alternative that allows for more margin than regular Bollinger Bands. They are created based on an average of moving averages that use the Fibonacci sequence as lookback periods.
The use of the Fibonacci Volatility Bands is exactly the same as the Bollinger Bands.
BB Running Away CandleHello,
here is an indicator that can be helpful for your trading that is simple and easy to use.
Our culprit here is a candle that opens and closes below the lower band of Bollinger Band, Black and red lines are put on the high and low of that candle.
Green Arrows are happening when:
1- When candle closes above the black line and Stochastic RSI is in the oversold area >> "Confirmed B"
2- When candle closes above the black line >> "B"
Note that you can choose from the settings whether you want it confirmed or not.
Red Arrows are happening when:
1- Price reached the higher band of Bollinger Bands >> "BB High"
2- Stochastic crosses down from above 80 level >> "Stoch Crossdown"
3- RSI reached above 70 levle >> "RSI Oversold"
Note that you can choose to turn these on or off from the settings.
Settings of indicators are set to default.
NOTE: Alerts are put there however i didn't get the chance to test them, so would like to hear your feedback about them.
THE USE OF THIS INDICATOR IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY.
wishing you the best.
Faytterro Bandswhat is Faytterro Bands?
it is a channel indicator like "Bollinger Bands".
what it does?
creates a channel using standard deviations and means. thus giving users an idea about the expensive and cheap zones. It uses a special weighted moving average different from standard bollinger bands, it also averages not only price but also deviations.
how it does it?
it uses this formulas:
how to use it?
its usage is the same as "bollinger band".
length represents the number of candles to be taken into account, source represents the source of those candles and stdev represents the coefficient of the standard deviation.
you can use it with other indicators:
Bollinger Bands SignalsDescription:
This indicator works well in trendy markets on long runs and in mean-reverting markets, at almost any timeframe.
That said, higher timeframes are much preferred for their intrinsic ability to cut out noise. The example chart is in 3H TF.
Be mindful, the script shows somewhat erratic jigsaw-like behaviour during consolidation periods when the price
jumps up and down in indecision which way to go. Fortunately, there are scripts out there that detect such periods.
You can choose between 4 Moving Averages, Vidya being the default. Period, Deviation and Bands Width parameters
all of them affect the signal generation.
For the Pine Script coder this script is pretty obvious.
It uses a standard technical analysis indicator - Bollinger Bands - and appends it with a 'width' parameter and
a signal generation procedure.
The signal generation procedure is the heart of this script that keeps the script pumping signals.
The BB width is used as a filter.
You can use this procedure in your own scripts and it will continue generate signals according to your rules.

Squeeze Range: Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channels [Whvntr]Presenting Squeeze Range: Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channels
TTMSqueeze method is a volatility and momentum indicator introduced by John Carter of Simpler Trading, which capitalizes on the tendency for price to break out strongly after consolidating in a tight trading range.
How did I make this indicator? The Bollinger Bands & Keltner Channels base scripts are from the standard indicators of their class in the Technicals section... I made this indicator first then noticed there were 3 others with a similar concept, but this differs in it's unique features and application of the TTMSqueeze strategy. This indicator plots the True Range of the Keltner Channel (Customizable in 'Bands Style" in the Inputs Menu) the instances the Bollinger Bands are within the range of the Keltner channel (the market just entered a squeeze).
Featuring: customizable Moving Averages
1. Exponential (Default for both BB & KC)
2. Simple
3. RMA (MA used in RSI )
Keltner channels have a multiplier of 2 & 3 on the Chart (3 being the outer).
How do I use this indicator? Once the teal dots are inside the solid red lines this would indicate that TTMperiod of low market volatility (the market is preparing itself for an explosive move up or down). Do some research and study how to use the TTMSqueeze method by John Carter. Disclaimer: not a guarantee of future favorable results.
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

Exponential Bollinger Bands (EBB)This script is a variation of the popular Bollinger Bands indicator, which uses exponential moving averages (EMA) instead of simple moving averages (SMA) as its core calculation. The indicator is designed to provide a visual representation of volatility, with the distance between the upper and lower bands being determined by the standard deviation of the underlying data.
The script starts by defining a number of helper functions that are used to calculate the moving averages and standard deviations required for the indicator. The first helper function is sma(), which calculates the simple moving average of the input data over a specified length. This function uses linear interpolation to smooth the data when the length is not an integer. The stdev() function calculates the standard deviation of the input data using the simple moving average calculated by the sma() function.
The bes() function calculates the exponential moving average of the input data over a specified length. The estdev() function calculates the standard deviation of the input data using the exponential moving average calculated by the bes() function.
The estdev function calculates the standard deviation using an exponential moving average method, rather than the traditional simple moving average method used by the stdev function. The exponential moving average method gives more weight to recent data, which can make the estdev more responsive to recent changes in volatility. This can make it more useful in certain types of analysis, such as identifying trends in volatility. Additionally, it also uses the same EMA algorithm to calculate the average value of the data set, which can help to keep the output of the estdev and average functions consistent.
The script also defines two more helper functions, average() and standard_deviation(), which allow the user to switch between using simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA) as the basis for the indicator. These functions take three arguments, the input data, the length of the moving average, and a string that specifies whether to use SMA or EMA.
The script then defines the input parameters for the indicator. The user can choose whether to use SMA or EMA as the basis for the indicator using the select parameter. The user can also specify the length of the moving average and the multiplier for the standard deviation using the length and multiplier parameters, respectively.
Finally, the script calculates the average and standard deviation of the input data using the selected method (SMA or EMA), and plots the upper and lower bands of the indicator. The upper band is calculated as the average plus the standard deviation multiplied by the specified multiplier, while the lower band is calculated as the average minus the standard deviation multiplied by the specified multiplier.
Volume Weighted Standard Deviation (VWSD)The Volume Weighted Standard Deviation indicator is a custom technical analysis tool that uses the volume of trading to calculate the standard deviation of a stock's price. This indicator takes the source of data, the length of data, and the deviation as inputs, and calculates the volume weighted standard deviation using the values.
The indicator first calculates the mean price and mean volume by using simple moving average over the given length of data. Then it calculates the squared difference between the mean price and the actual price, multiplied by the volume. This gives a volume-weighted squared difference. The indicator then calculates the square root of the sum of the volume-weighted squared differences divided by the sum of the volumes over the given length of data. This gives the volume weighted standard deviation.
The indicator then plots the standard deviation and deviation as a band around the simple moving average of the source data, providing a clear view of the volatility of the stock.
In summary, the Volume Weighted Standard Deviation indicator is a powerful tool for measuring the volatility of a stock by taking into account the volume of trading. It uses the volume of trading to calculate the standard deviation of a stock's price, giving a more accurate representation of the volatility of the stock. It can be useful for traders to identify entry and exit points and make more informed trading decisions.
Average Deviation Bands (ADB)The Average Deviation Bands indicator is a technical analysis tool that plots multiple bands around the average price of an asset. These bands are calculated using the standard deviation of the asset's price over a specified time period, as well as the average price of the asset over the same period. However, it's important to note that the standard deviation is only calculated for the specified time period leading up to the current point in the data set. The indicator then takes the average of all of these standard deviation values to plot the bands. The number and width of the bands can be customized by the user. The bands can be used to identify potential trend changes and to assess the volatility of the asset. The indicator is often used in combination with other technical analysis tools to provide a more complete picture of market conditions.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB)The Fibonacci Moving Average (FMA) is an indicator for financial markets that is calculated using the Fibonacci sequence and the metallic mean. The metallic mean is a type of average that is calculated by adding the source and the square root of the sum of the square of the source and 4, and then dividing the result by 2. The FMA is then calculated by using the metallic mean of the source as the weight for each period in the given length, and summing these weighted values. The standard deviation of the metallic mean of the source is also calculated using the FMA over the given length.
Users can input the source data and the length for the FMA calculation, as well as a series of boolean values to determine which levels of the FMA to plot on the chart. The levels include the standard deviation of the metallic mean of the source, as well as various multiples of the Fibonacci ratios between 0 and 2.618. The resulting FMA and standard deviation values can be plotted on the chart to help traders identify trends and potential entry and exit points in the market.
Double RSI + BBRSI stands for Relative Strength Index.
Bollinger Bands stands for a channel open by standard deviation values plotting upper, lower lines.
Double RSI with Bollinger bands adapted Bollinger bands to RSI not using overlay mode. It tries to filter fake signals while giving more good signals according to volatility even below overbought areas or above oversold areas. This way you can use greater values for RSI, like 25 and 100, increasing smoothness with less market noise.
We added an extra gap spacer to smooth Bollinger bands while widening the channel with a lower multiplier.
I found better results when Fast RSI crosses back into Bollinger bands channel.
You can play with the following settings:
• Source
Close is the most used
• Fast RSI length
Default to 25
• Slow RSI length
Default to 100
• RSI Smoothing
To filter out some graphic noise
• RSI Overbought, Oversold
Regular overbought, oversold lines handled by a single value. For 70/30, set it to 20 although with longer RSI something around 15 is enough.
• Bollinger Spacer
Ads thickness to the channel with lower multiplier
• Bollinger Length
Regular Bollinger length applied to slow RSI
• Bollinger Multiplier
Regular Bollinger multiplier applied to slow RSI
Disclaimer:
For study purposes only, trading without a good risk management can be regrettable, do your own research, always add confirmations, use it as is, at your own risk.
Volume Weighted Hull Moving Average Bollinger Bands (VWHBB)Title: "Volume Weighted Hull Moving Average Bollinger Bands Indicator for TradingView"
Abstract: This script presents a TradingView indicator that displays Bollinger Bands based on the volume weighted Hull Moving Average (VEHMA) of a financial asset. The VEHMA is a technical analysis tool that combines the reduced lag of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) with volume weighting to provide a more sensitive indicator of market trends and dynamics. The Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator that plot upper and lower bands around a moving average, which can help traders identify potential trend changes and overbought or oversold conditions. The script allows the user to customize the VEHMA length and Bollinger Band deviation parameters.
Introduction: Bollinger Bands are a popular technical analysis tool used to identify potential trend changes and overbought or oversold conditions in the market. They are constructed by plotting upper and lower bands around a moving average, with the width of the bands determined by the volatility of the asset. The VEHMA is a variant of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) that combines the reduced lag of the HMA with volume weighting to provide a more sensitive indicator of market trends and dynamics.
Methodology: The VEHMA is calculated using a weighted average of two exponential moving averages (EMAs), with the weighting based on the volume of the asset and the length of the moving average. The Bollinger Bands are calculated by plotting the VEHMA plus and minus a standard deviation of the asset's price over a specified period. The standard deviation is a measure of the volatility of the asset and helps to adjust the width of the bands based on market conditions.
Implementation: The script is implemented in TradingView's PineScript language and can be easily added to any chart on the platform. The user can customize the VEHMA length and Bollinger Band deviation parameters to suit their trading strategy. The VEHMA, Bollinger Bands, and fill colors are plotted on the chart to provide a visual representation of the indicator.
Conclusion: The VEHMA Bollinger Bands indicator is a useful tool for traders looking to identify potential trend changes and overbought or oversold conditions in the market. This script provides a convenient and customizable implementation of the indicator for use in TradingView.
Welford Bollinger Bands (WBB)The Welford method is an algorithm for calculating the running average and variance of a series of numbers in a single pass, without the need to store all the previous values. It works by maintaining an ongoing running average and variance, updating them with each new value in the series. The running average is updated using a simple formula that adds the new value to the previous average, weighed by the number of values that have been processed so far. The variance is updated using a similar formula that takes into account the deviation of the new value from the running average.
The Welford method has several advantages that make it a good fit for use in calculating Bollinger Bands. First, it is more numerically stable than other methods, as it avoids accumulating round-off errors and can handle large numbers of data points without overflow or underflow. This is important when working with financial data, which can contain large price movements and wide ranges of values.
Second, the Welford method is well-suited for use in real-time or streaming data scenarios where all the data may not be available upfront. This is useful in the context of Bollinger Bands, which are often used to identify trend changes and trading opportunities in real-time, as the bands are updated with each new data point.
Finally, the Welford method is simple and efficient, making it easy to implement and fast to compute. This is important when creating technical indicators and trading strategies, as performance is often a critical factor.
Overall, the Welford method is a reliable and efficient way to calculate the running average and variance of a series of numbers, making it a good fit for use in calculating Bollinger Bands and other technical indicators.
Channel Based Zigzag [HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]🎲 Concept
Zigzag is built based on the price and number of offset bars. But, in this experiment, we build zigzag based on different bands such as Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel and Donchian Channel. The process is simple:
🎯 Derive bands based on input parameters
🎯 High of a bar is considered as pivot high only if the high price is above or equal to upper band.
🎯 Similarly low of a bar is considered as pivot low only if low price is below or equal to lower band.
🎯 Adding the pivot high/low follows same logic as that of regular zigzag where pivot high is always followed by pivot low and vice versa.
🎯 If the new pivot added is of same direction as that of last pivot, then both pivots are compared with each other and only the extreme one is kept. (Highest in case of pivot high and lowest in case of pivot low)
🎯 If a bar has both pivot high and pivot low - pivot with same direction as previous pivot is added to the list first before adding the pivot with opposite direction.
🎲 Use Cases
Can be used for pattern recognition algorithms instead of standard zigzag. This will help derive patterns which are relative to bands and channels.
Example: John Bollinger explains how to manually scan double tap using Bollinger Bands in this video: www.youtube.com This modified zigzag base can be used to achieve the same using algorithmic means.
🎲 Settings
Few simple configurations which will let you select the band properties. Notice that there is no zigzag length here. All the calculations depend on the bands.
With bands display, indicator looks something like this
Note that pivots do not always represent highest/lowest prices. They represent highest/lowest price relative to bands.
As mentioned many times, application of zigzag is not for buying at lower price and selling at higher price. It is mainly used for pattern recognition either manually or via algorithms. Lets build new Harmonic, Chart patterns, Trend Lines using the new zigzag?
Oscillator ExtremesThe Oscillator Extremes indicator plots the normalized positioning of the selected oscillator versus the Bollinger Bands' upper and lower boundaries. Currently, this indicator has four different oscillators to choose from; RSI, CMO, CCI, and ROC.
When the oscillator pushes towards one extreme, it will bring the value of the prevailing line closer to zero. If the bullish or bearish line crosses the zero line, the oscillator is past the extreme of the Bollinger Band.
Example: If the RSI crosses over the upper boundary of the Bollinger, the bullish(green) line will cross under the zero line.
Crossovers of the bullish and bearish lines can indicate a shift in momentum and are a signal. Where the line crossing under, towards zero, is the prevailing trend. The plotted lines will highlight green(bullish) or red(bearish) to show the prevailing trend. This is similar to a DI+- crossover that is commonly associated with the ADX.
We have included an optional normalized ADX to help validate signals. The ADX will change color based on the slope of the ADX. Purple indicates a positive slope and white for a negative slope.
Average True Range Refurbished💡 Objective
This script is a rebuild of the pre-existing ATR indicator, with improvements and fine-tuning.
🪄Improvements
1. Normalization option (range 0 to 100)
2. Optional calculation of the ratio between current volatility and average volatility
3. Optional smoothing
4. Show a moving average
5. Show Bollinger Bands with 3 bands
6. Change bar colors according to ATR and Bollinger Bands
📚 Definition
'The Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility. Unlike many of today's popular indicators, the ATR is not used to indicate the direction of price. Rather, it is a metric used solely to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.'

Wavetrend in Dynamic Zones with Kumo Implied VolatilityI was asked to do one of those, so here we go...
As always free and open source as it should be. Do not pay for such indicators!
A WaveTrend Indicator or also widely known as "Market Cipher" is an Indicator that is based on Moving Averages, therefore its an "lagging indicator". Lagging indicators are best used in combination with leading indicators. In this script the "leading indicator" component are Daily, Weekly or Monthly Pivots . These Pivots can be used as dynamic Support and Resistance , Stoploss, Take Profit etc.
This indicator combination is best used in larger timeframes. For lower timeframes you might need to change settings to your liking.
The general Wavetrend settings are the same that are used in Market Cipher, Market Liberator and such popular indicators.
What are these circles?
-These are the WaveTrend Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
What are these white, orange and aqua triangles?
-These are the WaveTrend Pivots. A Pivot counter was added. Every time a pivot is lower than the previous one, an orange triangle is printed, every time a pivot is higher than the previous one an aqua triangle is printed. That mimics a very common way Wavetrend is being used for trading when using those other paid Wavetrend indicators.
What are these Orange and Aqua Zones?
-These are Dynamic Zones based on the indicator itself, they offer more information than static zones. Of course static lines are also included and can be adjusted.
What are the lines between the waves?
-This is a Kumo Cloud Implied Volatility indicator. It is color coded and can be used to indicate if a major market move/bottom/top happened.
What are those numbers on the right?
-The first number is a Bollinger Band indicator that shows if said Bollinger Band is in a state of Oversold/Overbought, the second number is the actual Bollinger Band Width that indicates if the Bollinger Band squeezes, normally that happens right before the market makes an explosive move.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.
