UCS_Squeeze_Timing-V2Statistically, Squeeze fires in the direction of strength (Up or Down). By replacing the Rate of Change with Bollinger Band % BB, allows us to easily pick the direction to trade the Squeeze. With the knowledge of Price Pattern, it makes it even easier.
I have identified 4 Setups that works wells with this. I will let you explore and comment. Could possibly initiate arguments and can identify a few more.
Nothing is perfect, but probable.
Using this with the Timing V1 Signals - It is easier to sneak in. More variations to this in future. Will need time to backtest other variations.
Squeeze
UCS_Squeeze_Timing-V1There is an important information the Squeeze indicator is missing, which is the Pre Squeeze entry. While the Bollinger band begins to curves out of the KC, The breakout usually happens. There are many instances that the Squeeze indicator will fire, after the Major move, I cant blame the indicator, thats the nature (lagging) of all indicators, and we have to live with it.
Therefore pre-squeeze-fire Entry can be critical in timing your entry. Timing it too early could result in stoploss if it turns against you, ( or serious burn on options premium), because we never know when the squeeze will fire with the TTM squeeze, But now We know. Its a little timing tool. Managing position is critical when playing options.
I will code the timing signal when I get some time.
Updated Versions -
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.
