Bollinger Bubble BreakoutOverview:
This script leverages the principles of Bollinger Bands (BB), a popular tool for measuring volatility and identifying extreme price levels of overbought or oversold conditions. When the price closes outside the upper or lower bands, there is a strong probability that it will revert back inside the bands, typically in two steps:
First, towards the EMA 7 (fast exponential moving average).
Then, towards the SMA 20 (the middle line of the BB).
How It Works:
Outer BB Closes: When a candle closes beyond the upper or lower Bollinger Bands, it typically signals an extreme price extension (high volatility or impulsive movement).
Mean Reversion: Generally, the price tends to revert quickly inside the bands, with the first target being the EMA 7 and the second being the SMA 20. This behavior is based on the mean-reverting nature of Bollinger Bands, which act as dynamic price boundaries.
Alert Signal: The script highlights these closes and visually marks areas where potential reversals or technical corrections might occur.
Usage:
Ideal for traders aiming to exploit extreme moves for counter-trend trades or profit-taking opportunities.
Works best in volatile markets, but caution is advised during strong trends where prices can stay extended outside the bands.
Combine this tool with other indicators (such as RSI or MACD) to confirm signals.
Precautions:
The signals generated do not guarantee an immediate reversion. In strong trending markets, the price can "ride" the outer bands for several candles.
Strict risk management is advised: always use appropriate stop-loss levels based on your risk tolerance.
Practical Example:
When the price closes above the upper band:
Expect a correction towards the EMA 7 and then the SMA 20.
When the price closes below the lower band:
Look for a potential bounce towards the same targets.
Conclusion:
This script is designed to help traders identify opportunities in overbought or oversold conditions. However, it is not financial advice but rather an analytical tool to incorporate into your trading strategy.

Mean Reversion Indictor, Based on Standard Deviations Description:
The Reversal Candle Mean Reversion Indicator is designed for traders seeking to identify potential reversal points in the market based on key price action and volatility. This indicator combines price action analysis (sweeping prior highs or lows) with mean reversion theory, highlighting opportunities where the price tests or touches a moving average's standard deviation bands.
By focusing on these moments of price extremes, the indicator helps traders spot bullish and bearish reversal signals when the price retraces from volatile movements. These conditions often signal a return to the mean—an ideal setup for reversal traders who thrive on fading exaggerated price moves.
How It Works:
1. Price Action Reversal Signal:
* Bullish Reversal: The indicator flags a bullish signal when the current candle's low sweeps the prior candle's low, and the candle closes higher than the prior candle's close.
* Bearish Reversal: The indicator flags a bearish signal when the current candle's high sweeps the prior candle's high, and the candle closes lower than the prior candle's close.
2. Mean Reversion Confirmation:
* Mean Reversion Signal is triggered when the price touches or tests the upper or lower bands, calculated using a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or Hull MA) and standard deviation.
* The indicator combines price action and volatility, providing stronger reversal signals when the price reaches an extreme distance from the moving average.
3. Customization Options:
* Moving Average Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or Hull MA.
* Moving Average Length: Adjust the length of the moving average (default: 20).
* Standard Deviation Multiplier: Set the number of standard deviations for the volatility bands (default: 2.0).
* Custom Candle Colors: Choose custom colors for bullish and bearish reversal candles to easily spot signals.
How to Use for Trading Reversals:
1. Identify Extremes:
* Watch for candles where the price tests or touches the standard deviation bands. These are key moments when the price has moved significantly from the moving average, indicating a potential overbought or oversold condition.
2. Look for Reversals:
* When the price tests a band and simultaneously forms a bullish reversal pattern (sweeping the prior low and closing higher), it signals a potential mean reversion to the upside.
* When the price tests a band and forms a bearish reversal pattern (sweeping the prior high and closing lower), it signals a potential mean reversion to the downside.
3. Entry Points:
* Long Trades: Enter a long trade after a bullish signal appears (green candle) near the lower band, indicating a likely price reversal back towards the mean.
* Short Trades: Enter a short trade after a bearish signal appears (red candle) near the upper band, indicating a likely price pullback.
4. Exit Strategy:
* Set a profit target at the moving average (the mean) or a specific price level based on your strategy.
* Consider using a trailing stop to capture additional profit in case of a stronger reversal beyond the mean.
5. Risk Management:
* Place stops just below the low of the bullish reversal candle or just above the high of the bearish reversal candle to manage risk efficiently.
[EmreKB] BB Trend MagicThe BB Magic indicator is a trend-following tool that operates similarly to the Trend Magic indicator but uses the upper and lower values of Bollinger Bands. It works by dynamically adjusting its reference point based on the price's relationship with the Bollinger Bands.
Initially, the indicator uses the Bollinger Bands' lower value (BB Lower) as its reference. If the price reaches a higher BB Lower value, the BB Magic value is updated to this new BB Lower. This process continues as long as the price remains above the BB Magic value.
However, if the price closes below the BB Magic value, the reference point switches to the Bollinger Bands' upper value (BB Upper). In this case, the BB Magic value is updated to the new BB Upper value if the price creates a lower BB Upper. This mechanism helps capture downtrends effectively.
Whenever the price crosses above the BB Magic value again, the reference point switches back to BB Lower, and the cycle repeats. This approach allows the BB Magic indicator to adapt to price movements and trend changes more accurately, providing a reliable tool for traders to analyze market trends and make informed decisions.
Feel free to share your experiences and feedback on using the BB Magic indicator.
200 EMA Trend Strategy Anti meanDescription:
The "200 EMA Trend Strategy" is a versatile technical analysis tool designed for day trading and long-term investing. It aims to identify potential trend reversal points in the market based on the interaction between the price and the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This strategy utilizes the 200 EMA, standard deviation bands, and basic trend analysis to generate buy and sell signals.
Key Features:
200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The indicator plots the 200-period Exponential Moving Average, a reliable trend-following indicator that smooths out price data to identify the underlying trend direction.
Standard Deviation Bands: Upper and lower bands around the 200 EMA are calculated based on a specified standard deviation multiplier. These bands help identify potential overbought and oversold levels in the market.
Trend Signals: Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above the 200 EMA, indicating a potential bullish trend, while sell signals are generated when the price crosses below the 200 EMA, indicating a potential bearish trend.
Exit Signals: Exit signals are triggered when the price moves beyond the standard deviation bands in the opposite direction of the current trend. Most trades will be exited with minimal losses, aiming to grow the trading account over time. Multiple exit signals may be displayed, but only the first signal will be considered, ignoring subsequent signals to minimize drawdown.
Usage:
Day Trading: For intraday trading, traders can use a one-minute chart and fix the indicator's timeframe to five minutes. This allows for quick decision-making and minimizes drawdown by focusing on short-term price movements.
Long-Term Investing: For long-term investing, traders can utilize a four-hour or two-hour chart and fix the indicator's timeframe to daily or one-day timeframe. This provides a broader perspective of the market trends and allows for strategic positioning over longer time horizons.
Risk Management: Employ proper risk management techniques and position sizing strategies to mitigate losses and maximize profits. Use the indicator's exit signals to exit trades with minimal losses and allow profitable trades to grow the trading account over time.
Risk Disclosure: Trading involves risks, and this indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. It is essential to consider risk management principles and employ proper position sizing techniques when trading based on the signals generated by this indicator.

Ultimate Squeeze & BreakoutTitle: Ultimate Squeeze & Breakout
Description: This indicator is a volatility analysis tool designed to identify periods of market compression ("The Squeeze") and validate subsequent breakouts using momentum logic. It builds upon the classic relation between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels but adds a directional filter to reduce false signals.
The Problem It Solves: Standard squeeze indicators often signal a breakout the moment price exits the bands, even if the underlying trend is weak or flat. This can lead to entering "wicks" or fakeouts. This script solves this by requiring the Basis Line Slope to align with the breakout direction before generating a signal.
How It Works:
1. Compression (The Setup) The script monitors the relationship between Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) and Keltner Channels (ATR).
Red Cloud: When the Bollinger Bands contract completely inside the Keltner Channels, it indicates a critical drop in volatility. The market is coiling and storing energy.
2. The Momentum Filter (The Validation) Unlike basic squeeze indicators, a breakout is not signaled solely by price closing outside the bands.
Logic: The script calculates the slope of the 20-period Basis Line (Simple Moving Average).
Bullish Validation: Price > Upper Band AND Basis Line is sloping UP.
Bearish Validation: Price < Lower Band AND Basis Line is sloping DOWN.
Visual Guide:
🟥 Red Cloud: Squeeze ON. Volatility is compressed. Do not trade; wait for expansion.
🟣 Fuchsia Cloud: Bullish Breakout (Price released upward + Positive Momentum).
🔵 Blue Cloud: Bearish Breakout (Price released downward + Negative Momentum).
⬜ Gray/Green Cloud: Standard Trending phase (Volatility is normal).
Features:
Precision Inputs: Multipliers for Standard Deviation and ATR can be adjusted in 0.01 increments for fine-tuning sensitivity.
Visual Toggles: Option to color the neutral trending cloud Green or Gray based on preference.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for "Squeeze Started" and validated "Bullish/Bearish Breakouts."
Credits: Core mechanics based on the TTM Squeeze concept popularized by John Carter. Momentum filtering logic added for enhanced signal reliability.
SuperTrend Adaptive (STD Smooth)Supertrend Adaptive (Smoothed StdDev)
Supertrend Adaptive is a refined trend-following indicator based on the classic Supertrend. It enhances the original by incorporating smoothed standard deviation into the volatility calculation, instead of relying solely on ATR. This hybrid approach enables more responsive and adaptive trend detection, reducing noise and false signals in volatile or ranging markets. The indicator also features confidence-weighted signal labels and a clean, uncluttered display, making it practical for any trading timeframe.
🔍 Detailed Methodology and Conceptual Foundation
Unlike traditional Supertrend indicators that use only absolute volatility (ATR) to define trend bands, this version blends standard deviation — a relative volatility measure — into the calculation. Standard deviation helps capture the dispersion of price, not just its range, and when smoothed, it filters out erratic jumps caused by sudden spikes or drops.
This fusion creates trend bands that expand and contract dynamically based on recent price variability. As a result:
Fewer whipsaws : The trend bands adjust to both low and high volatility environments, which helps avoid unnecessary signal flips during consolidation.
Stronger trend adherence : Signals are less reactive to momentary price movements. This allows the indicator to hold positions longer in trending markets, giving traders the opportunity to ride extended moves.
Bollinger Band-style adaptation : By including standard deviation, this indicator behaves similarly to Bollinger Bands — accounting for relative price change rather than absolute moves alone.
These enhancements make the tool suitable not only for identifying directional bias, but also for refining entries and exits with more context-aware volatility filtering.
📈 How to Use the Indicator
Trend Direction: The script draws a colored line beneath (uptrend) or above (downtrend) price. Green indicates bullish trend, red indicates bearish.
Buy/Sell Labels: Only the most recent signal is shown to reduce clutter:
🟢 Green "Buy" label = trend reversal to bullish, with strong confidence.
🔵 Blue "Buy" label = same reversal, but with lower volume confidence.
🔴 Red "Sell" label = trend reversal to bearish, with strong confidence.
🟠 Orange "Sell" label = bearish signal with lower volume confidence.
These color codes are derived from comparing current volume to its average — a higher-than-average volume gives greater confidence to the signal.
Settings:
ATR Period: Controls the smoothing window for volatility calculation.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the size of the trend bands.
Std Smooth: Controls smoothing applied to standard deviation to reduce jitter.
Change ATR Method: Option to toggle between default and smoothed ATR.
Show Signals: Toggle for label display.
📢 Alerts
The script includes three built-in alert conditions:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the trend flips to bullish.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the trend flips to bearish.
Trend Direction Change: Alerts on any switch in trend regardless of confidence level.
These alerts allow traders to automate notifications or integrations with bots or trading platforms.
🧼 Clean Chart Display
To ensure clarity and comply with best practices:
The chart shows only this indicator.
Trend lines are drawn in real time for visual context.
Only one label per direction is shown — the most recent one — to keep the chart readable.
No drawings or unrelated indicators are included.
This setup ensures the script’s signals and structure are immediately understandable at a glance.
📌 Best Use Cases
This tool is designed for:
Traders who want adaptive volatility filters instead of rigid ATR-based models.
Scalpers and swing traders who prefer clean charts with minimal lag and fewer false signals.
Any asset class — works well on crypto, FX, and equities.
Shortcoming of this tool is sideway price action (will be tackled in next versions).

Session VWAP & ATR H/L ZonesThis script is a comprehensive tool for day traders, designed to visualize key price levels and zones based on volume and volatility within a specific trading session.
Traders would use your script to identify potential areas of support and resistance, gauge the session's trend, and spot opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trades.
Core Concepts Explained
Your script plots three main types of information on the chart, each serving a different purpose for a trader.
1. Session VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) 📈
What it is: The yellow line is the VWAP, which is the average price of an asset for the current trading session, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. It essentially shows the "fair" price for the day according to the market's activity.
How it's used:
Trend Gauge: If the price is consistently trading above the VWAP, it's generally considered a bullish intraday trend. If it's below, the trend is bearish.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: During a trend, traders often look for the price to pull back to the VWAP to find an entry point (e.g., buying a dip to the VWAP in an uptrend).
VWAP Bands: The optional gray, red, and green bands are standard deviations from the VWAP. They measure how far the price has strayed from its "fair value."
2. ATR High/Low Zones (Support & Resistance) 🎯
What they are: These are the shaded green and red areas at the top and bottom of the session's price range.
The red zone (resistance) is calculated by taking the session's current high and subtracting a value based on the Average True Range (ATR), which is a measure of recent volatility.
The green zone (support) is calculated by taking the session's current low and adding the ATR-based value.
How they're used: These are not just lines; they are zones of interest.
Profit-Taking Areas: A trader who is long might consider taking profits when the price enters the red resistance zone.
Reversal Signals: When the price enters one of these zones and shows signs of stalling (e.g., with specific candlestick patterns), it could signal a potential reversal.
3. Previous Session High & Low 📊
What they are: The script plots the high and low from the previous trading session as straight horizontal lines (teal and fuchsia by default).
How they're used: These are extremely significant static levels that many traders watch.
Price Magnets: Price is often drawn to these levels.
Key Inflection Points: A decisive break above the previous day's high can signal strong bullish momentum. Conversely, a failure to break it can indicate weakness. These levels frequently act as strong support or resistance.

Bollinger Band StrategyDescription of the Bollinger Band Breakout Strategy
This trading strategy, credited to Siddhart Bhanushali, is a momentum-based approach that uses Bollinger Bands and a 22-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) to identify high-probability breakout trades. It focuses on detecting periods of low volatility (contraction) followed by high volatility (expansion) to enter trades with a favorable risk-reward ratio. The strategy is designed to capture significant price movements in trending markets, with clear rules for entry, stop loss, and profit targets.
Strategy Overview
The strategy generates buy and sell signals based on specific conditions involving the 22-period SMA and Bollinger Bands. It aims to enter trades when the price breaks out of a consolidation phase, confirmed by the direction of the SMA and the behavior of a green or red candle relative to the Bollinger Bands. The minimum target for each trade is a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Credit
This strategy is credited to Siddhart Bhanushali, who designed it to leverage Bollinger Band breakouts in trending markets, providing a clear and systematic approach to trading with defined risk-reward parameters.
DChannelَDChannel: Atr Channel
This indicator draws dynamic ATR-based zones from the start of each day (or any selected timeframe). It helps traders identify potential support/resistance areas and gauge daily volatility right from the open.
🧠 How It Works
The zones are calculated at the beginning of each day and remain fixed throughout the day.
You can choose any timeframe (15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.) to base these zones on.
You can also choose whether to use the previous close or the current open as the base level.
🔷 What You See
Multiple volatility channels (main, pattern, trigger) plotted above and below the base level.
Colored bands:
Blue/Orange: Pattern-based zones
Green/Red: Main ATR-based zones
These bands can act as potential entry zones, stop-loss areas, or profit targets.
✅ Suggested Usage
Use the zones daily as key decision levels.
Combine this indicator with confirmation tools like Poibox and IDM indicators to improve entry accuracy.
Works well for intraday and swing traders in Forex, crypto, or stocks.
⚙️ Inputs
Timeframe: Select the higher timeframe to calculate ATR and open level.
Use Previous Close: Optionally use yesterday's close instead of today’s open.

Expected Intraday MovementThis indicator pretends to represent the "probable" maximum movement of an asset, for the rest of the day.
This indicator should be used "only" in intraday timeframe. You will not be able to see it if you select a longer timeframe.
To calculate the probable maximum movement, the indicator uses the VIX value for each minute.
On the first candle of the day, it also calculates the probable maximum movement for the whole day, and plots it in horizontal lines.
It also allows adding a couple of extra lines (for visual purposes only).
It also allows the creation of alerts, so that when the value of the asset is close to one of the limits, it can send you an alert using the Tradingview alert system.
Summary of parameters:
Intraday bands: allows you to show/hide the bands for each minute.
Intraday first candle projection: allows to show/hide the estimated projection from the first candle of the day.
Enable alert: allows to enable/disable alerts.
Upper and lower band offset: optional offset where alarms will be triggered (e.g. 10 points before the limit is reached).
Intraday Extra Projection: allows to show/hide extra levels (for visual purposes only)
Upper and lower extra: values for extra levels.
As always, no indicator is meant to provide a single, reliable strategy to your trading regimen and no indicator or group of indicators should be relied on solely. Be sure to do your own analysis and assessments of the stock prior to taking any trades.
Safe trades everyone!
Reversal Zone from Price Scaling and MACD histogramOANDA:XAUUSD
This indicator is intended for upward reversal techniques only.
The reversal zone is calculated by reverse-engineering price scaling and the MACD histogram. The maximum and minimum values of the upper and lower zones are then plotted as the bands.
The adjacent table displays five reverse-calculated values for each of the upper and lower bands, as well as two mode values for each.
The principle is similar to Bollinger Bands, but a signal is generated only when there is clear buying or selling pressure.
We would like you to try it and share your feedback.

BB_MES Playbook Levels + Auto Alerts (Start/TP1/TP2)Indicator Name: MES Playbook Levels + Auto Alerts (Start/TP1/TP2)
1. Indicator Overview
This is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed for day traders, specifically for Micro E-mini S&P 500 futures (MES) but applicable to other instruments. Its primary purpose is to automate the drawing of key price levels and to provide timely alerts for a specific trading strategy, often called a "playbook" setup.
The core of the strategy involves identifying a "start" level during the regular trading session. Once the price crosses this level, the indicator automatically projects two take-profit (TP1 and TP2) targets and monitors the price action in relation to these levels.
2. Key Features
Automatic Level Plotting: The indicator plots several critical price levels on the chart, saving the trader from having to draw them manually every day.
Dynamic Start Levels: It offers two methods for establishing the bullish and bearish entry or "start" levels:
Previous Day's High/Low (PDH/PDL): The default setting uses the high and low of the prior trading day as the trigger points for long and short trades.
RTH VWAP Bands: Alternatively, it can calculate the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that resets at the start of the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session and create a "band" around it. The edges of this band then serve as the start levels.
Automated Take-Profit Targets: Upon a cross of a "start" level, the indicator immediately plots two take-profit lines (TP1 and TP2) based on a user-defined point value.
Trade State Management: The script intelligently manages the state of a trade. It knows when a long or short trade is active and will stop looking for new signals until the current trade is concluded (either by hitting TP2 or the end of the session).
Comprehensive Alerts: A major feature is its robust alert system. Traders can set up alerts for a wide variety of events, allowing for less screen time.
Session Highlighting: It specifically monitors the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session and can also plot the high and low of the overnight (ON) session.
3. On-Chart Visuals
When you apply this indicator to your chart, you will see the following lines and plots:
Previous Day Levels:
PDH (Previous Day High): Plotted as a green line.
PDL (Previous Day Low): Plotted as a red line.
PDC (Previous Day Close): Plotted as a gray line.
Start Levels:
StartBull: A lime green line representing the trigger for a long trade.
StartBear: A maroon line representing the trigger for a short trade.
Take-Profit Levels:
TP1 / TP2: Teal-colored lines that appear only after a StartBull or StartBear level is crossed. TP1 is a dotted line, and TP2 is solid.
Other Levels:
RTH VWAP: A blue line showing the volume-weighted average price for the main session only.
ON High / ON Low: Orange lines showing the high and low points established outside of the RTH session.
4. How It Works: The Trading Logic
Define Session: The script first identifies the Regular Trading Hours (e.g., 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST).
Calculate Levels: It calculates the PDH/PDL and the RTH VWAP. Based on user input, it determines the startBullLevel (either PDH or the upper VWAP band) and the startBearLevel (either PDL or the lower VWAP band).
Wait for Signal: During the RTH session, the indicator waits for the live price (close) to cross over the startBullLevel or cross under the startBearLevel.
Initiate Trade State:
If a bullish cross occurs (longStart), it logs the entryPrice, sets the trade state to longActive, and plots the TP1 and TP2 lines above the entry price.
If a bearish cross occurs (shortStart), it does the opposite, plotting TP1 and TP2 below the entry price.
Monitor Trade: While a trade is active, it checks if the price hits TP1 or TP2.
End Trade:
When the price hits the TP2 level, the trade is considered complete. The script clears the TP lines from the chart and resets itself to look for the next start signal.
At the end of the RTH session, any active trade is automatically terminated, and all TP lines are cleared to ensure a clean slate for the next day.
5. Input Settings (Customization)
The user can customize the following parameters in the indicator's settings:
RTH Session: Define the start and end times for the main trading session.
Start from RTH VWAP band: A checkbox to switch between using PDH/PDL or the VWAP band for start levels.
VWAP band offset (pts): If using the VWAP band, this sets how many points away from the VWAP the start levels are drawn.
TP1 (pts): The number of points from the entry price to set the first take-profit target.
TP2 (pts): The number of points for the second take-profit target.
Show Overnight High/Low: A toggle to show or hide the overnight session levels.
6. Configurable Alerts
You can create alerts in TradingView for any of the following conditions generated by the script:
StartBull / StartBear: Triggers when a long or short trade is initiated.
TP1 Hit / TP2 Hit: Triggers when the price reaches the take-profit levels for both long and short trades.
Level Crosses: Separate alerts can be set for when the price crosses the PDH, PDL, PDC, RTH VWAP, ON High, or ON Low. This is useful for general market awareness.

Wahrscheinlichkeits-OszillatorWhat the Indicator Measures (Short Version)
The indicator measures, over several different time windows (eight different historyLength values), the probability that the current indicator value (here, a 14-period SMA of the closing price) is higher than past values in that window.
These probabilities (named prob1 … prob8) are expressed as percentages (0–100). The arithmetic mean of these eight percentages is avgLine. Additionally, there are smoothings (SMMA) and a baseline (SMA of avgLine), similar to Bollinger Bands.
Step-by-Step: How the Values Are Calculated
Source:
sma_val = ta.sma(close, 14) → This is the 14-period simple moving average of the closing price. This smoothed price is used as the "current comparison value" (instead of raw close) to reduce noise.
Historical Array & Counting (Function calculateProbability)
For each probX, the function maintains an array of the most recently stored current values (up to historicalLength entries).
For the current sma_val, it counts how many entries in the historical array are smaller than current.
Then this number is divided by the total number of historical entries → result is a decimal between 0 and 1.
Multiplying by 100 gives probX in percent.
Mathematical (Pseudo):

Bearbeiten
prob = (1 / total) * sum_{i=0}^{total-1} [ current > historical ] * 100
→ This is equivalent to the empirical percentile/rank position of the current value within the history.
Eight Windows / Ensemble:
prob1 … prob8 are calculated with different historyLength values (400, 350, 175, 130, 83, 42, 21, 15).
Longer windows measure “long-term” trend strength; shorter windows measure short-term relative strength/momentum.
avgLine:
ini
Kopieren
Bearbeiten
avgLine = (prob1 + ... + prob8) / 8
→ Ensemble average of all eight percentiles. Useful for smoothing extreme values from individual windows.
Smoothing (SMMA):
SMMA on prob1 and SMMA1 on avgLine reduce short-term fluctuations and make signals more stable.
Baseline & “Bands”:
Finally, basis = ta.sma(avgLine, length) and dev = mult * ta.stdev(avgLine, length) are calculated — this is exactly the baseline + band logic of a Bollinger-style representation, applied to avgLine.
Why It’s Meaningful
Percentiles/ranks are robust to scale changes. Instead of absolute price differences, the indicator answers: “Is the current (smoothed) price higher than usual over the last N periods?”
The ensemble of multiple window lengths captures different market regimes: short windows react quickly to momentum, long windows provide context and reduce false signals.
Smoothing (SMA/SMMA) reduces noise, making signals less sensitive to intraday jitter.
Interpretation: When Is the Market “Overheated” / “Not Overheated”?
High values (e.g., avgLine ≈ 80–100 or individual probX > 90):
The current SMA is higher than almost all previous values in the considered window → strong bullish dominance. This can indicate a strong rally (momentum), but also potential overbought conditions, especially if:
Volume growth is slowing, or
avgLine has remained very high for several periods (overextension).
Low values (e.g., avgLine ≈ 0–20):
The current SMA is below most of the historical values → market is under pressure or potentially oversold. Short-term reversal/recovery opportunities are more likely, especially if multiple windows are simultaneously low.
Values around ~50: Neutral — the current value is typical, in the middle of its historical distribution.
Concrete Rule (Your Specification): Buy / Sell
Buy Signal: When all eight lines (prob1 … prob8) are below lowerLine (e.g., lowerLine = 20).
→ Meaning: In all short- to long-term windows, the current SMA is below most historical values → strong, broadly confirmed undervaluation signal (potential rebound or end of correction).
Recommendation: Strong convergent long signal, especially if accompanied by volume increase or support confirmation.
Sell Signal: When all eight lines are above upperLine (e.g., upperLine = 90).
→ Meaning: In all windows, the current SMA is higher than almost all historical values → broadly confirmed overbought / overheating.
Recommendation: Strong convergent short/take-profit signal, especially if coinciding with divergences, weakening volume, or resistance areas.
Important Limitations & Risks (Pay Attention!)
Trend vs. Mean-Reversion: In a strong trend, all windows can stay high for a long time (trend continuation risk). An “all below lower → buy” signal can continue to fall in a strong downtrend → use stop-loss and trend filter (higher TF).
Historical Length & Sampling: Chosen historyLength values determine sensitivity. Very long windows make the indicator slower; very short windows increase noise.
Statistical Stationarity: Percentile signals assume the distribution remains comparable — in crashes/news events, distributions can break.
Smoothing / Lag: SMMA reduces false breakouts but adds delay — trade entries may occur later.
Practical Examples (Concrete)
Example Buy: prob1..prob8 = , lowerLine = 20 → all below 20 → strong long signal.
Example Sell: prob1..prob8 = , upperLine = 90 → all above 90 → take-profit / short signal.
Conclusion (Short)
Your indicator is a percentile/ranking oscillator over multiple windows — a robust ensemble measuring the relative position of the (smoothed) price to its own history.
Overheated = high, broadly confirmed prob values (e.g., all > upperLine).
Oversold = low, broadly confirmed prob values (e.g., all < lowerLine) → your rule: all below lowerLine = buy, all above upperLine = sell.
Never trade blindly — always use risk management and confirmation (volume, higher timeframes, structure).
BBMA Enhanced Pro - Multi-Timeframe Band Breakout StrategyShort Title : BBMA Pro
Overview
The BBMA Enhanced Pro is a professional-grade trading indicator that builds on the Bollinger Bands Moving Average (BBMA) strategy, pioneered by Omar Ali , a Malaysian forex trader and educator. Combining Bollinger Bands with Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) , this indicator identifies high-probability breakout and reversal opportunities across multiple timeframes. With advanced features like multi-timeframe Extreme signal detection, eight professional visual themes, and a dual-mode dashboard, it’s designed for traders seeking precision in trending and consolidating markets. Optimized for dark chart backgrounds, it’s ideal for forex, stocks, and crypto trading.
History
The BBMA strategy was developed by Omar Ali (BBMA Oma Ally) in the early 2010s, gaining popularity in the forex trading community, particularly in Southeast Asia. Building on John Bollinger’s Bollinger Bands, Omar Ali integrated Weighted Moving Averages and a multi-timeframe approach to create a structured system for identifying reversals, breakouts, and extreme conditions. The BBMA Enhanced Pro refines this framework with modern features like real-time dashboards and customizable visualizations, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Extreme Signals : Detects Extreme signals (overbought/oversold conditions) on both current and higher timeframes simultaneously, a rare feature that enhances signal reliability through trend alignment.
Professional Visual Themes : Eight distinct themes (e.g., Neon Contrast, Fire Gradient) optimized for dark backgrounds.
Dual-Mode Dashboard : Choose between Full Professional (detailed metrics) or Simplified Trader (essential info with custom notes).
Bollinger Band Squeeze Detection : Identifies low volatility periods (narrow bands) signaling potential sideways markets or breakouts.
Confirmation Labels : Displays labels when current timeframe signals align with recent higher timeframe signals, highlighting potential consolidations or squeezes.
Timeframe Validation : Prevents selecting the same timeframe for current and higher timeframe analysis.
Customizable Visualization : Toggle signal dots, EMA 50, and confirmation labels for a clean chart experience.
How It Works
The BBMA Enhanced Pro combines Bollinger Bands (20-period SMA, ±2 standard deviations) with WMA (5 and 10 periods) to generate trade signals:
Buy Signal : WMA 5 Low crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a recovery from an oversold condition (Extreme buy).
Sell Signal : WMA 5 High crosses below the upper Bollinger Band, signaling a rejection from an overbought condition (Extreme sell).
Extreme Signals : Occur when prices or WMAs move significantly beyond the Bollinger Bands (±2σ), indicating statistically rare overextensions. These often coincide with Bollinger Band Squeezes (narrow bands, low standard deviation), signaling potential sideways markets or impending breakouts.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : The indicator’s unique strength is its ability to detect Extreme signals on both the current and higher timeframe (HTF) within the same chart. When the HTF generates an Extreme signal (e.g., buy), and the current timeframe follows with an identical signal, it suggests the lower timeframe is aligning with the HTF’s trend, increasing reliability. Labels appear only when this alignment occurs within a user-defined lookback period (default: 50 bars), highlighting periods of band contraction across timeframes.
Bollinger Band Squeeze : Narrow bands (low standard deviation) indicate reduced volatility, often preceding consolidation or breakouts. The indicator’s dashboard tracks band width, helping traders anticipate these phases.
Why Multi-Timeframe Extremes Matter
The BBMA Enhanced Pro’s multi-timeframe approach is rare and powerful. When the higher timeframe shows an Extreme signal followed by a similar signal on the current timeframe, it suggests the market is following the HTF’s trend or entering a consolidation phase. For example:
HTF Sideways First : If the HTF Bollinger Bands are shrinking (low volatility, low standard deviation), it signals a potential sideways market. Waiting for the current timeframe to show a similar Extreme signal confirms this consolidation, reducing the risk of false breakouts.
Risk Management : By requiring HTF confirmation, the indicator encourages traders to lower risk during uncertain periods, waiting for both timeframes to align in a low-volatility state before acting.
Usage Instructions
Select Display Mode :
Current TF Only : Shows Bollinger Bands and WMAs on the chart’s timeframe.
Higher TF Only : Displays HTF bands and WMAs.

Toggle Confirmation Labels : Display labels when current timeframe Extremes align with recent HTF Extremes, signaling potential squeezes or consolidations.
Customize Dashboard :
Full Professional Mode : View metrics like BB width, WMA trend, and last signal.
Simplified Trader Mode : Focus on essential info with custom trader notes.
Select Visual Theme : Choose from eight themes (e.g., Ice Crystal, Royal Purple) for optimal chart clarity.
Trading Example
Setup : 5min chart, HTF set to 1hr, signal dots and confirmation labels enabled.
Buy Scenario : On the 5min chart, WMA 5 Low crosses above the lower Bollinger Band (Extreme buy), confirmed by a recent 1hr Extreme buy signal within 50 bars. The dashboard shows narrow bands (squeeze), and a green label appears.
Action : Enter a long position, targeting the middle band, with a stop-loss below the recent low. The HTF confirmation suggests a strong trend or consolidation phase.
Sell Scenario : WMA 5 High crosses below the upper Bollinger Band on the 5min chart, confirmed by a recent 1hr Extreme sell signal. The dashboard indicates a squeeze, and a red label appears.
Action : Enter a short position, targeting the middle band, with a stop-loss above the recent high. The aligned signals suggest a potential reversal or sideways market.
Customization Options
BBMA Display Mode : Current TF Only, Higher TF Only, or Both Timeframes.
Higher Timeframe : 1min to 1D.
Visual Theme : Eight professional themes (e.g., Neon Contrast, Forest Glow).

Signal Dots : Enable/disable, select timeframe source (Current, Higher, or Both).
Confirmation Labels : Toggle and set lookback window (1-100 bars).
Dashboard : Enable/disable, choose mode (Full/Simplified), and set position (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.).
Notes
Extreme Signals and Squeezes : Extreme signals often occur during Bollinger Band contraction (low standard deviation), signaling potential sideways markets or breakouts. Use HTF confirmation to filter false signals.
Risk Management : If the HTF shows a squeeze (narrow bands), wait for the current timeframe to confirm with an Extreme signal to reduce risk in choppy markets.
Limitations : Avoid trading Extremes in highly volatile markets without additional confirmation (e.g., volume, RSI).

BB/KC Squeeze Channels (v6)Technical Specification for the BB/KC Squeeze Volatility Indicator in Algorithmic Cryptocurrency Trading
I. Theoretical Foundations of Volatility Dynamics
The "Contraction-Expansion" Principle (Volatility Contraction/Expansion)
The fundamental analysis of market volatility dynamics relies on the principle popularized by John Bollinger: periods of low volatility are inevitably followed by periods of high volatility. This phenomenon, known as the cyclical nature of volatility, is the cornerstone of trading strategies based on range breakouts (Breakout Strategy). In the context of technical analysis, volatility contraction manifests as a consolidation phase where the trading range narrows, preceding a strong, directional price impulse.
The essence of volatility contraction lies in a phase of market equilibrium that is inherently unstable. Most often, this reflects the covert activities of large market participants who are either accumulating or distributing a significant volume of the asset. These actions occur within a narrow price corridor to avoid sharp price movements until the entire position is acquired. As a result, activity decreases, the range narrows, and the market accumulates "energy" for the subsequent large-scale expansion. For the cryptocurrency market, characterized by high impulsivity and a tendency toward sharp trending moves, accurately identifying the deep contraction phase becomes a powerful algorithmic predictor.
Identifying Prerequisites: Distinguishing Pre-Breakout Contraction
To build a reliable indicator, it is crucial to distinguish a true pre-breakout squeeze from other types of volatility reduction that do not lead to a strong impulse. Specifically, volatility, measured by the Average True Range (ATR), will always decline after the completion of a strong vertical movement, as the market enters a pullback or deceleration phase. Such a decline is post-impulse and does not necessarily signal an imminent breakout.
It is necessary to find signs of abnormally low volatility that occurs precisely in the consolidation phase. The optimal time to look for a Squeeze signal is the formation of a distinct sideways channel. In this phase, the middle line of the channel indicator (e.g., EMA or SMA) should be relatively horizontal. This confirms that the market is currently in a ranging state (absence of a strong current trend), not in a deceleration phase after a trend. Therefore, the Squeeze indicator algorithm must include a check for confirmed sideways movement (e.g., through analyzing the slope of the middle line or its statistical deviation from the horizontal over the last X periods). Only abnormally low volatility during a range can be classified as a high-confidence pre-breakout contraction.
II. Instrument Selection: Justification for the Composite BB/KC Squeeze Approach
For effective algorithmic determination of the extreme contraction phase, it is necessary to use an indicator that combines the advantages of the two most reliable methods for measuring volatility: Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels.
Comparative Analysis of Volatility Indicators
| Indicator | Base Metric | Volatility Response | Primary Role in Squeeze |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bollinger Bands (BB) | Standard Deviation (SD) | Fast, Highly Sensitive | Contraction sensor, Early breakout signal |
| Keltner Channels (KC) | Average True Range (ATR) | Smooth, Noise Filtering | Defines stable range, Filters false signals |
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Bollinger Bands are based on the Standard Deviation (SD) of the price from a moving average. This statistical metric makes BB highly sensitive, as they quickly react to sudden changes in volatility. Due to this sensitivity, BB are ideal for early registration of a contraction and for generating the breakout signal. However, their high sensitivity is also a drawback, as it can lead to false signals and premature expansion during market noise.
Keltner Channels (KC)
Keltner Channels, in the modern version developed by Linda Raschke, use the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the channel width. ATR represents the averaged true range of fluctuations, which provides a smoother and more stable measure of volatility. KC react to market changes slower than BB, but their smoothness allows for better filtering of false signals and determination of the true direction of movement. Unlike fixed-width price channels or percentage envelopes, which perform poorly in dynamic environments, BB and KC automatically adapt to market conditions.
The Squeeze Mechanism: Synergy of Instruments
The BB/KC Squeeze indicator uses the synergy of BB and KC to achieve maximum accuracy in identifying the accumulation phase.
The technical Squeeze condition (Squeeze ON) is defined when the fast and statistically-oriented Bollinger Bands (BB) are inside the wider and smoother Keltner Channels (KC). This state represents quantitative confirmation of extremely low volatility.
In standard settings, BB use a multiplier of 2.0 for Standard Deviation (SD), and KC use a multiplier of 1.5 for ATR. For the statistical width of BB (based on price deviation from the average) to narrow inside the width of KC (based on the averaged range), the current statistical deviation of the price must fall to abnormally low values relative to the historical average range of fluctuations. This is not just low volatility, but its extreme contraction, indicating maximum accumulation of potential energy before an impulse.
III. Quantitative Analysis: How Much, Why, and How Volatility Contracts
How Much: Mathematical Definition of the Degree of Contraction
The degree of volatility contraction before a breakout is measured through a strict mathematical condition that ensures the current volatility is significantly below its averaged historical value.
The Squeeze Condition (Squeeze ON) requires both of the following mathematical formulas to be true :
To understand how much the movement should contract, we must consider the channel width formulas:
* Bollinger Bands Width (\text{BB}_{\text{Width}}):
\text{KC}_{\text{Width}} = 2 \times (\text{ATR} \times 1.5) = 3.0 \times \text{ATR}$$
The Squeeze ON state means that \text{BB}_{\text{Width}} < \text{KC}_{\text{Width}}. This condition is equivalent to \text{SD} \times 4.0 < \text{ATR} \times 3.0. As a result, the current Standard Deviation (SD) must fall below 75% of the Average True Range (ATR) for the contraction to be registered. This requirement for SD to decrease to a level significantly below ATR is the criterion for identifying the deep market calm that serves as the energy base for the subsequent directional movement.
Why and How: Qualitative Signs
Volatility decreases because large market participants are slowly and covertly accumulating positions. They keep the price within a narrow range to fully acquire the necessary volume before allowing the price to impulsively exit consolidation. This creates a sideways movement phase, minimizing risks for the trader and enabling timely tracking of a bullish or bearish breakout.
To enhance the algorithm's reliability and prevent entry into false ranges, the following qualitative signs accompanying a true squeeze must be considered:
* Squeeze Duration: The longer the price remains in the Squeeze ON state, the more energy is accumulated. Experience suggests a minimum duration of 4–8 periods. Extended contraction periods (over 10–12 bars) often precede the strongest impulsive movements in the crypto market.
* Price Position: During the contraction phase, the price should remain close to the middle line (EMA/SMA). This confirms that the market is in equilibrium, and accumulation is occurring around the "fair" price of the current range.
* Momentum Context: The volatility indicator (BB/KC) determines when a move will happen, but not its direction. To predict the direction (prerequisite), a momentum component must be used (e.g., a histogram, as in the TTM Squeeze variant ). The appearance of positive momentum during the contraction, even without price movement, signals potential bullish strength, increasing the likelihood of an upward breakout.
Squeeze State Logic Table
| State | Mathematical Condition (BB vs KC) | Market Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Squeeze ON | (\text{BB}_{\text{Upper}} < \text{KC}_{\text{Upper}}) AND (\text{BB}_{\text{Lower}} > \text{KC}_{\text{Lower}}) | Extreme volatility contraction, accumulation phase, breakout pending. |
| Squeeze OFF | \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}} \ge \text{KC}_{\text{Upper}} OR \text{BB}_{\text{Lower}} \le \text{KC}_{\text{Lower}} | Normal volatility, trending movement, or unstable range. |
IV. Technical Specification: Step-by-Step Algorithm for the Squeeze Indicator (BB/KC)
This algorithm represents the sequence of steps required to code the indicator, which captures the contraction state and generates breakout signals.
1. Initialization and Calculation of Basic Values
* Define Period N: Determine the period N (recommended value N=20) for calculating the moving averages, ATR, and Standard Deviation (SD).
* Calculate True Range (TR): For each bar, calculate \text{TR} as the maximum value of three metrics: (High – Low), \text{Abs}(\text{High} - \text{Close}_{\text{prev}}), \text{Abs}(\text{Low} - \text{Close}_{\text{prev}}).
2. Calculation of Keltner Channel (KC) Components
* Calculate KC Middle Line (EMA): Calculate the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price (\text{Close}) over period N.
* Calculate ATR: Calculate the Average True Range (ATR) as the moving average of \text{TR} over period N.
* Calculate KC Boundaries: Calculate the Upper and Lower KC lines, using the ATR multiplier Y (recommended Y=1.5 ):
* * 3. Calculation of Bollinger Band (BB) Components
* Calculate BB Middle Line (SMA): Calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price (\text{Close}) over period N.
* Calculate SD: Calculate the Standard Deviation (SD) of the closing price over period N.
* Calculate BB Boundaries: Calculate the Upper and Lower BB, using the SD multiplier X (recommended X=2.0 ):
* * 4. Algorithm for Determining the "Squeeze" State
* Check Squeeze ON Condition: For the current bar, check if both conditions are met: \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}} < \text{KC}_{\text{Upper}} AND \text{BB}_{\text{Lower}} > \text{KC}_{\text{Lower}}.
* Assign State: IF both conditions in step 9 are true, THEN assign the variable \text{SqueezeState} the value \text{ON} (e.g., 1). ELSE assign the value \text{OFF} (e.g., 0).
5. Algorithm for Generating Breakout Signals
* Identify Trigger: Check if \text{SqueezeState} has changed from \text{ON} to \text{OFF} on the current bar. This signifies that volatility has expanded after the contraction period.
* Bullish Breakout Signal: IF \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{prev}} = \text{ON} AND \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{current}} = \text{OFF}, AND the closing price (\text{Close}) of the current bar is above \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}}, THEN generate a BUY (Breakout Long) signal.
* Bearish Breakout Signal: IF \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{prev}} = \tex (start_span) (end_span)t{ON} AND \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{current}} = \text{OFF}, AND the closing price (\text{Close}) of the current bar is below \text{BB}_{\text{Lower}}, THEN generate a SELL (Breakout Short) signal.
* Additional Momentum Filtering: To increase reliability, the breakout signal should be valid only IF the breakout occurs in the direction confirmed by a momentum indicator (e.g., if Momentum > 0 for a Bullish breakout, and Momentum < 0 for a Bearish breakout).
The Role of Momentum in the Algorithm
A key addition to the volatility indicator is the momentum component. Defining the Squeeze ON/OFF state helps understand the potential for movement, but not its direction. The momentum indicator (often implemented as a histogram, as in TTM Squeeze ) measures whether accumulation of buying or selling pressure occurs during the contraction phase. Therefore, the indicator must include a sub-component that measures this pressure. Using momentum in conjunction with the BB breakout ensures that entry occurs not just after volatility expansion, but after expansion in a confirmed direction, significantly reducing the number of false breakouts.
V. Parameters, Optimization, and Nuances for the Cryptocurrency Market
Adapting Standard Settings (20, 2.0, 1.5)
The standard parameters N=20, X_{\text{BB}}=2.0, and Y_{\text{KC}}=1.5 are designed for stock markets and provide a reliable starting point. However, the high volatility and dynamics of the cryptocurrency market require fine-tuning to optimize performance.
1. Optimization of Period N
Reducing the period N (e.g., to 18 or 14) on lower timeframes (1-hour and below) increases the indicator's sensitivity to local, fast contractions, which is useful for scalping. However, this may also generate more signals, including false ones. For medium-term trading strategies (4h, Daily), a period of N=20 or N=21 provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and noise filtering.
2. Optimization of Multiplier Y_{\text{KC}}
The Keltner Channel multiplier (Y) defaults to 1.5. KC are smoother and more stable due to the use of ATR. If backtesting shows the indicator generates too many false Squeeze ON signals, it may indicate that the KC channel is too narrow. In this case, a slight increase in multiplier Y (e.g., to 1.6 or 1.7) widens the KC. This requires an even more extreme drop in Standard Deviation for the BB to narrow inside the KC, thereby increasing the strictness and reliability of the Squeeze ON signal.
Importance of Timeframe Selection
While some indicators like KC and BB show higher effectiveness in trending conditions for trading off channel boundaries , the Squeeze Play strategy is fundamentally different. It deliberately seeks a range (volatility contraction) with the goal of catching the start of a new strong trend.
In the cryptocurrency market, false breakouts and market noise (chop) can be particularly intense on low timeframes. Therefore, for the Squeeze strategy, it is recommended to use timeframes where consolidation is cleanest: 4-hour, Daily, or Weekly charts for major crypto pairs like BTC/USD or ETH/USD. On lower timeframes, multi-timeframe confirmation must be implemented, for example, using a trend filter from a higher timeframe.
VI. Strategic Application of Squeeze Play and Filtering
Using Momentum for Direction Determination
As noted, the volatility indicator (BB/KC) is not a directional indicator. The squeeze function (Squeeze ON) only identifies a high probability of a strong movement. Therefore, successful trading requires the integration of Momentum.
The breakout should be used as a trigger, but the direction must be confirmed by Momentum. For example, a BUY signal should only be generated if two conditions are met:
* Exit from the Squeeze ON state and the closing price breaking above the upper BB (\text{Close} > \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}}).
* The momentum indicator confirms upward pressure (Momentum value is positive).
This approach prevents entries into false breakouts where volatility expands but not in the direction of the accumulated market pressure.
Risk and Position Management
Since the Keltner Channel is based on ATR, which is a dynamic measure of volatility , ATR should be used for setting the Stop-Loss (SL) in the algorithmic strategy.
* Stop-Loss (SL) Setting: It is recommended to set the SL at a level determined by 1 \times \text{ATR} below the middle line (EMA/SMA) or beyond the KC boundary opposite the breakout. Using ATR ensures that the SL dynamically adapts to the current volatility, avoiding overly tight stops during periods of normal range.
* Take-Profit (TP) Setting: Since the goal of Squeeze Play is to catch a strong directional movement, the take-profit can be set based on a fixed Risk/Reward ratio (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) or based on the price exiting the KC boundaries. Breaking the KC often indicates an extreme price move and can serve as a point for partial or full profit taking.
Filtering Against False Signals in a Range
The main drawback of breakout trading is the high percentage of false signals in wide but non-directional ranges. Using the composite BB/KC Squeeze indicator effectively addresses this problem.
KC, being based on smoothed ATR, is less susceptible to short-term volatility spikes than BB. The Squeeze filter requires the sensitive BB to narrow inside the smoothed KC. This ensures that we enter only those breakouts that were preceded by a prolonged and abnormally low volatility phase. The breakout must be confirmed by the price breaking the BB after the Squeeze ON state ends, signaling a sustained volatility expansion rather than a brief price spike.
VII. Conclusion
The analysis confirms that the user's observation about the relationship between volatility contraction and subsequent strong movements is a fundamentally sound principle, the best implementation of which in the cryptocurrency market is achieved using the composite BB/KC Squeeze indicator.
This indicator provides a precise quantitative definition of "how much" volatility must contract (SD must fall below 75% of ATR) and includes the necessary qualitative prerequisites ("why and how" — consolidation, confirmed by momentum). The presented step-by-step algorithm provides the technical foundation for coding a highly effective tool that identifies accumulation phases and generates breakout signals, adapted to the dynamics of the crypto market. The inclusion of momentum-based filtering and proper risk management tied to ATR are key factors for transitioning from a pure indicator to a profitable trading strategy.
Техническая Спецификация Индикатора Волатильности BB/KC Squeeze для Алгоритмической Торговли Криптовалютами
I. Теоретические Основы Динамики Волатильности
Принцип "Сжатие-Расширение" (Volatility Contraction/Expansion)
Фундаментальный анализ динамики рыночной волатильности опирается на принцип, популяризированный Джоном Боллинджером: периоды низкой волатильности неизбежно сменяются периодами высокой волатильности. Это явление, известное как цикличность волатильности, является краеугольным камнем торговых стратегий, основанных на пробое диапазона (Breakout Strategy). В контексте технического анализа сжатие волатильности проявляется как фаза консолидации, в которой торговый диапазон сужается, предшествуя сильному, направленному ценовому импульсу.
Смысл контракции волатильности заключается в фазе рыночного равновесия, которое, однако, является неустойчивым. Чаще всего это отражает скрытую деятельность крупных участников, которые либо накапливают (аккумуляция), либо распределяют (дистрибуция) значительный объем актива. Эти действия происходят в узком ценовом коридоре, чтобы избежать резкого движения цены, пока позиция не будет полностью набрана. В результате активность падает, диапазон сужается, и рынок накапливает «энергию» для последующего масштабного расширения. Для криптовалютного рынка, который характеризуется высокой импульсивностью и склонностью к резким трендовым движениям, точная идентификация фазы глубокого сжатия становится мощным алгоритмическим предиктором.
Идентификация Предпосылок: Отличие Пред-пробойного Сжатия
Для построения надежного индикатора критически важно уметь отличать истинное пред-пробойное сжатие от других типов снижения волатильности, которые не ведут к сильному импульсу. В частности, волатильность, измеряемая, например, индикатором Average True Range (ATR), всегда будет снижаться после завершения сильного вертикального движения, поскольку рынок переходит в фазу отката или замедления. Такое снижение является пост-импульсным и не обязательно сигнализирует о скором пробое.
Требуется найти признаки аномально низкой волатильности, которая возникает именно в фазе консолидации. Оптимальный момент для поиска сигнала Сжатия — это возникновение четкого бокового канала. В этой фазе средняя линия канального индикатора (например, EMA или SMA) должна быть относительно горизонтальной. Это подтверждает, что рынок в данный момент находится в состоянии рейнджа (отсутствие сильного текущего тренда), а не в фазе замедления после тренда. Таким образом, в алгоритм индикатора Squeeze необходимо заложить проверку на подтверждение бокового движения (например, через анализ наклона средней линии или ее статистического отклонения от горизонтали за последние X периодов). Только аномально низкая волатильность в фазе рейнджа может быть квалифицирована как высоконадежное пред-пробойное сжатие.
II. Выбор Инструмента: Обоснование Композитного Подхода BB/KC Squeeze
Для эффективного алгоритмического определения фазы экстремального сжатия необходимо использовать индикатор, который комбинирует преимущества двух наиболее надежных методов измерения волатильности: Полос Боллинджера и Каналов Кельтнера.
Сравнительный Анализ Индикаторов Волатильности
Полосы Боллинджера (Bollinger Bands, BB)
Полосы Боллинджера основаны на Стандартном Отклонении (SD) цены от скользящей средней. Эта статистическая метрика делает BB высокочувствительными, поскольку они быстро реагируют на внезапные изменения волатильности. Благодаря этой чувствительности, BB идеально подходят для ранней регистрации начавшегося сжатия и для генерации сигнала пробоя. Однако их высокая чувствительность также является недостатком, так как она может приводить к ложным срабатываниям и преждевременному расширению в условиях рыночного шума.
Каналы Кельтнера (Keltner Channels, KC)
Каналы Кельтнера, в современной версии, разработанной Линдой Рашке, используют Average True Range (ATR) для расчета ширины канала. ATR представляет собой усредненный истинный диапазон колебаний, что обеспечивает более сглаженную и устойчивую меру волатильности. KC реагируют на изменения рынка медленнее, чем BB, но их плавность позволяет лучше фильтровать ложные сигналы и определять истинное направление движения. В отличие от ценовых каналов с фиксированной шириной или процентными конвертами, которые плохо работают в динамичных средах, BB и KC автоматически адаптируются к рыночным условиям.
Механизм Squeeze: Синергия Инструментов
Индикатор BB/KC Squeeze использует синергию BB и KC для достижения максимальной точности в идентификации фазы накопления.
Техническое условие Сжатия (Squeeze ON) определяется, когда быстрые и статистически ориентированные Полосы Боллинджера (BB) оказываются внутри более широких и сглаженных Каналов Кельтнера (KC). Это состояние представляет собой количественное подтверждение экстремально низкой волатильности.
В стандартных настройках BB используют множитель 2.0 от Стандартного Отклонения (SD), а KC используют множитель 1.5 от ATR. Для того чтобы статистическая ширина BB (основанная на отклонении цены от средней) сузилась внутрь ширины KC (основанной на усредненном диапазоне), текущее статистическое отклонение цены должно упасть до аномально низких значений по отношению к историческому среднему диапазону колебаний. Это не просто низкая волатильность, а ее экстремальное сокращение, указывающее на максимальное накопление потенциальной энергии перед импульсом.
Таблица Сравнения Ключевых Индикаторов Волатильности
| Индикатор | Базовая Метрика | Реакция на Волатильность | Основная Роль в Squeeze |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bollinger Bands (BB) | Стандартное Отклонение (SD) | Быстрая, Высокочувствительная | Датчик сжатия, Ранний сигнал пробоя |
| Keltner Channels (KC) | Average True Range (ATR) | Плавная, Фильтрация шума | Определение устойчивого диапазона, Фильтр ложных сигналов |
III. Количественный Анализ: На Сколько, Почему и Как Сокращается Волатильность
На Сколько: Математическое Определение Степени Сжатия
Степень сокращения волатильности перед пробоем измеряется через строгое математическое условие, которое обеспечивает, что текущая волатильность значительно ниже ее усредненного исторического значения.
Условие Сжатия (Squeeze ON) требует выполнения обеих следующих математических формул :
Для понимания того, на сколько должно сократиться движение, необходимо рассмотреть формулы ширины каналов:
* Ширина Полос Боллинджера (\text{BB}_{\text{Width}}):
\text{KC}_{\text{Width}} = 2 \times (\text{ATR} \times 1.5) = 3.0 \times \text{ATR}$$
Состояние Squeeze ON означает, что \text{BB}_{\text{Width}} < \text{KC}_{\text{Width}}. Это условие эквивалентно \text{SD} \times 4.0 < \text{ATR} \times 3.0. В результате, текущее стандартное отклонение (SD) должно упасть ниже 75% от усредненного истинного диапазона (ATR), чтобы сжатие было зарегистрировано. Такое требование к снижению SD до уровня, значительно ниже ATR, является критерием для идентификации глубокого покоя рынка, который служит энергетической базой для последующего направленного движения.
Почему и Как: Качественные Признаки
Снижение волатильности происходит потому, что крупные участники рынка медленно и скрытно накапливают позиции. Они поддерживают цену в узком диапазоне, чтобы полностью набрать необходимый объем, прежде чем позволить цене импульсивно выйти из консолидации. Это создает фазу бокового движения, минимизируя риски для трейдера и позволяя оперативно отследить «бычий» или «медвежий» прорыв.
Для повышения надежности алгоритма и предотвращения входа в ложные диапазоны, необходимо учитывать следующие качественные признаки, сопровождающие истинное сжатие:
* Длительность Сжатия: Чем дольше цена находится в состоянии Squeeze ON, тем больше энергии накапливается. Опыт показывает, что минимальная длительность должна составлять 4–8 периодов. Длительные периоды сжатия (более 10–12 баров) часто предшествуют наиболее сильным импульсным движениям на крипторынке.
* Положение Цены: Во время фазы сжатия цена должна находиться в непосредственной близости к средней линии (EMA/SMA). Это подтверждает, что рынок находится в состоянии равновесия, и накопление происходит вокруг "справедливой" цены текущего диапазона.
* Контекст Моментума: Индикатор волатильности (BB/KC) определяет когда произойдет движение, но не его направление. Для предсказания направления (признак) необходимо использовать компонент моментума (например, гистограмму, как в варианте TTM Squeeze ). Появление положительного моментума во время сжатия, даже при отсутствии движения цены, является признаком потенциальной бычьей силы, усиливающей вероятность пробоя вверх.
Логика Определения Состояния "Сжатия" (Squeeze State Logic)
| Состояние | Математическое Условие (BB vs KC) | Интерпретация Рынка |
|---|---|---|
| Squeeze ON | (\text{BB}_{\text{Upper}} < \text{KC}_{\text{Upper}}) И (\text{BB}_{\text{Lower}} > \text{KC}_{\text{Lower}}) | Экстремальная контракция волатильности, фаза накопления, ожидание прорыва. |
| Squeeze OFF | \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}} \ge \text{KC}_{\text{Upper}} ИЛИ \text{BB}_{\text{Lower}} \le \text{KC}_{\text{Lower}} | Нормальная волатильность, трендовое движение или неустойчивый диапазон. |
IV. Техническая Спецификация: Пошаговый Алгоритм Индикатора Squeeze (BB/KC)
Данный алгоритм представляет собой последовательность шагов, необходимых для кодирования индикатора, фиксирующего состояние сжатия и генерирующего сигналы пробоя.
1. Инициализация и Расчет Базовых Величин
* Определение Периода N: Определить период N (рекомендуемое значение N=20) для расчета скользящих средних, ATR и Стандартного Отклонения (SD).
* Расчет Истинного Диапазона (True Range, TR): Для каждого бара рассчитать \text{TR} как максимальное значение из трех метрик: (High – Low), \text{Abs}(\text{High} - \text{Close}_{\text{prev}}), \text{Abs}(\text{Low} - \text{Close}_{\text{prev}}).
2. Расчет Компонентов Канала Кельтнера (KC)
* Расчет Средней Линии KC (EMA): Рассчитать экспоненциальную скользящую среднюю (EMA) цены закрытия (\text{Close}) за период N.
* Расчет ATR: Рассчитать Средний Истинный Диапазон (ATR) как скользящую среднюю \text{TR} за период N.
* Расчет Границ KC: Рассчитать Верхнюю и Нижнюю линии KC, используя множитель ATR Y (рекомендуется Y=1.5 ):
* * 3. Расчет Компонентов Полос Боллинджера (BB)
* Расчет Средней Линии BB (SMA): Рассчитать простую скользящую среднюю (SMA) цены закрытия (\text{Close}) за период N.
* Расчет SD: Рассчитать Стандартное Отклонение (SD) цены закрытия за период N.
* Расчет Границ BB: Рассчитать Верхнюю и Нижнюю полосы BB, используя множитель SD X (рекомендуется X=2.0 ):
* * 4. Алгоритм Определения Состояния "Squeeze"
* Проверка Условия Squeeze ON: Для текущего бара проверить, выполняются ли оба условия: \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}} < \text{KC}_{\text{Upper}} И \text{BB}_{\text{Lower}} > \text{KC}_{\text{Lower}}.
* Присвоение Состояния: ЕСЛИ оба условия в шаге 9 истинны, ТО присвоить переменной \text{SqueezeState} значение \text{ON} (например, 1). ИНАЧЕ присвоить значение \text{OFF} (например, 0).
5. Алгоритм Генерации Сигналов Пробоя
* Идентификация Триггера: Проверить, что \text{SqueezeState} изменился с \text{ON} на \text{OFF} на текущем баре. Это означает, что волатильность расширилась после периода сжатия.
* Сигнал Бычьего Пробоя: ЕСЛИ \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{prev}} = \text{ON} И \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{current}} = \text{OFF}, И цена закрытия (\text{Close}) текущего бара выше \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}}, ТО генерировать сигнал ПОКУПКА (Breakout Long).
* Сигнал Медвежьего Пробоя: ЕСЛИ \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{prev}} (start_span) (end_span)= \text{ON} И \text{SqueezeState}_{\text{current}} = \text{OFF}, И цена закрытия (\text{Close}) текущего бара ниже \text{BB}_{\text{Lower}}, ТО генерировать сигнал ПРОДАЖА (Breakout Short).
* Дополнительная Фильтрация Моментумом: Для повышения надежности, сигнал пробоя должен быть действителен только ЕСЛИ пробой происходит в направлении, подтвержденном моментум-индикатором (например, если Моментум > 0 для Бычьего пробоя, и Моментум < 0 для Медвежьего пробоя).
Роль Моментума в Алгоритме
Ключевым дополнением к индикатору волатильности является компонент моментума. Определение состояния Squeeze ON/OFF позволяет понять потенциал движения, но не его направление. Моментум-индикатор (часто реализованный в виде гистограммы, как в TTM Squeeze ) позволяет измерить, происходит ли накопление давления покупателей или продавцов во время фазы сжатия. Следовательно, индикатор должен включать подкомпонент, который измеряет это давление. Использование моментума в сочетании с пробоем BB гарантирует, что вход в позицию происходит не просто после расширения волатильности, а после ее расширения в подтвержденном направлении, что существенно снижает количество ложных пробоев.
V. Параметры, Оптимизация и Нюансы для Криптовалютного Рынка
Адаптация Стандартных Настроек (20, 2.0, 1.5)
Стандартные параметры N=20, X_{\text{BB}}=2.0 и Y_{\text{KC}}=1.5 разработаны для фондовых рынков и являются надежной отправной точкой. Однако высокая волатильность и динамика криптовалютного рынка требуют тонкой настройки для оптимизации производительности.
1. Оптимизация Периода N
Уменьшение периода N (например, до 18 или 14) на более низких таймфреймах (1-часовой и ниже) увеличит чувствительность индикатора к локальным, быстрым сжатиям, что полезно для скальпинга. Однако, это также может привести к генерации большего количества сигналов, в том числе ложных. Для среднесрочных торговых стратегий (4h, Daily) период N=20 или N=21 обеспечивает оптимальный баланс между чувствительностью и фильтрацией шума.
2. Оптимизация Множителя Y_{\text{KC}}
Множитель Каналов Кельтнера (Y) по умолчанию равен 1.5. KC более плавные и устойчивые благодаря использованию ATR. Если в процессе тестирования индикатор генерирует слишком много ложных сигналов Squeeze ON, это может указывать на то, что канал KC слишком узок. В этом случае, небольшое увеличение множителя Y (например, до 1.6 или 1.7) расширит KC. Это потребует еще более экстремального падения Стандартного Отклонения, чтобы BB сузились внутрь KC, тем самым повышая строгость и надежность сигнала Squeeze ON.
Важность Выбора Таймфрейма
Хотя некоторые индикаторы, такие как KC и BB, показывают более высокую эффективность в трендовом состоянии для торговли отскоками от границ , стратегия Squeeze Play принципиально иная. Она целенаправленно ищет рейндж (контракцию волатильности) с целью поймать начало нового сильного тренда.
На рынке криптовалют ложные пробои и рыночный шум (chop) могут быть особенно интенсивными на низких таймфреймах. Поэтому для стратегии Squeeze рекомендуется использовать таймфреймы, на которых консолидация наиболее чиста: 4-часовой, Daily или Weekly графики для основных криптопар, таких как BTC/USD или ETH/USD. На более низких таймфреймах необходимо внедрять мультитаймфреймовое подтверждение, используя, например, фильтр тренда с более высокого таймфрейма.
VI. Стратегическое Применение Squeeze Play и Фильтрация
Использование Momentum для Определения Направления
Как уже было отмечено, индикатор волатильности (BB/KC) не является индикатором направления. Функция сжатия (Squeeze ON) лишь идентифицирует высокую вероятность сильного движения. Следовательно, для успешной торговли необходимо интегрировать Моментум.
Прорыв следует использовать как триггер, но направление должно быть подтверждено Моментумом. Например, сигнал ПОКУПКА должен быть сгенерирован, только если соблюдены два условия:
* Выход из состояния Squeeze ON и пробитие ценой закрытия верхней полосы BB (\text{Close} > \text{BB}_{\text{Upper}}).
* Моментум-индикатор подтверждает восходящее давление (значение Моментума положительно).
Такой подход предотвращает входы в ложные пробои, когда волатильность расширяется, но не в направлении накопленного рыночного давления.
Управление Рисками и Позицией
Поскольку Канал Кельтнера основан на ATR, который является динамической мерой волатильности , именно ATR следует использовать для установки стоп-лосса (SL) в алгоритмической стратегии.
* Установка Стоп-Лосса (SL): Рекомендуется устанавливать SL на уровне, определяемом 1 \times \text{ATR} ниже средней линии (EMA/SMA) или за границей канала KC, противоположной пробою. Использование ATR обеспечивает, что SL динамически адаптируется к текущей волатильности, избегая слишком узких стопов в периоды нормального диапазона.
* Установка Тейк-Профита (TP): Поскольку цель Squeeze Play — поймать сильное направленное движение, тейк-профит может быть установлен на основе фиксированного соотношения Риск/Прибыль (например, 2:1 или 3:1) или на основе выхода цены за пределы KC. Пробитие KC часто указывает на экстремальное ценовое движение и может служить точкой для частичной или полной фиксации прибыли.
Фильтрация Против Ложных Сигналов в Рейндже
Основной недостаток торговли на пробой — высокий процент ложных сигналов в широких, но не направленных диапазонах. Использование композитного индикатора BB/KC Squeeze эффективно решает эту проблему.
KC, будучи основанным на сглаженном ATR, менее подвержен краткосрочным всплескам волатильности, чем BB. Фильтр Сжатия требует, чтобы чувствительные BB сузились внутрь сглаженных KC. Это гарантирует, что мы входим только в те прорывы, которым предшествовала длительная и аномально низкая фаза волатильности. Пробой должен быть подтвержден тем, что цена пробивает BB после завершения состояния Squeeze ON, что сигнализирует об устойчивом расширении волатильности, а не о кратковременном ценовом всплеске.
VII. Заключение
Анализ подтверждает, что наблюдение пользователя о связи между сокращением волатильности и последующими сильными движениями является фундаментально верным принципом, наилучшая реализация которого на рынке криптовалют достигается с помощью композитного индикатора BB/KC Squeeze.
Этот индикатор предоставляет точное количественное определение "на сколько" волатильность должна сократиться (SD должно упасть ниже 75% от ATR) и включает необходимые качественные предпосылки ("почему и как" — консолидация, подтвержденная моментумом). Представленный пошаговый алгоритм обеспечивает техническую основу для кодирования высокоэффективного инструмента, который идентифицирует фазы аккумуляции и генерирует сигналы пробоя, адаптированные к динамике крипторынка. Включение фильтрации на основе моментума и надлежащее управление риском, привязанное к ATR, являются ключевыми факторами для перехода от чистого индикатора к прибыльной торговой стратегии.
