Volatility Profit (VPI) & Bollinger Bands (BB) [checkm8]

2018年4月21日

Hello and welcome to my 2-in-1 indicator of Volatility Profit Indicator and Bollinger Bands.

Volatility Profit Indicator is a script inspired by Jim Berg, from a 2005 article titled "The Truth About Volatility". This is a set of bands, where the upper band is based on a moving average of highs over a given period, added to the average true range of the period. The lower band is based on a moving average of lows over the same given period, from which the average true range is subtracted. The formula is shown below:

VPI High Band = MA(HI, type, x) + y * ATR(z)
VPI Low Band = MA(LO, type, x) - y * ATR(z)

where... type = MA Type (default to Exponential) x = MA Period (default to 13) y = True Range Multiplier (default to 2) z = True Range Period (default to 20)

Bollinger Bands should be familiar by now, but they are calculated based on a moving average of a source ([High + Low + Close] / 3), added to a particular standard deviation of the source.

This indicator:
- Allows you to choose whether you want to plot the Volatility Profit Indicator or Bollinger Bands. By default, each will show three bands.
- Has pre-made color schemes to choose from to simplify your life.

- Allows you to choose the source for Bollinger Bands
