BandPercentile [Orderflowing]BandPercentile | Bollinger Band Analysis | Bandpass Filtering | Customizable (+)
Built using Pine Script V5.
Introduction
The BandPercentile indicator is a technical analysis tool that improves the traditional Bollinger Bands as a Percentile concept.
Inspiration and Evolution
The BandPercentile was born of the simplicity of calculating the Bollinger Bands Percentile.
It evolves this concept by addressing a need for greater customization and precision.
The integration of the Experimental version of the Bandpass Filter & Super Smoothing, a concept by John Ehlers, adds a layer of sophistication - allowing for a different view.
Core Functionality
The BandPercentile calculates percentile values based on the position of the price within the Bollinger Bands, offering a way to see overbought and oversold market conditions.
The indicator is designed to provide clear visual cues for market extremes, aiding in decision-making for entries and exits.
These market extremes or overbought/sold levels are fully customizable.
Unique Features and Customization
Overbought/Oversold Dots: Visual markers for identifying critical market thresholds.
Divergence Detection: Highlights potential bullish and bearish divergences, aiding in predictive analysis.
Multiple Moving Average Types: Choose from SMA, Hull, Dema, EMA, WMA, and LINREG for calculations.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust length, multiplier, and overbought/oversold levels to fit various trading styles.
Roofing Filter Integration: Incorporates Ehlers' Bandpass Filter for signal processing.
Example of 2 pole bandpass filtering on daily calculation / 4 hour chart:
Example of 3 pole bandpass filtering on daily calculation / 4 hour chart:
Analysis and Interpretation
The indicator provides a scale, ranging from extreme overbought to extreme oversold levels, with customizable levels for divergence/confirmed trend shift analysis.
This scale is useful for traders to understand market sentiment and potential reversal points.
Interpretation and Visuals
The BandPercentile indicator is designed with a clear, color-coded system for better readability and quick interpretation:
Primary Overbought and Oversold Lines: These are marked in red and blue, respectively, to signify the most critical overbought and oversold levels.
Extended Overbought and Oversold Lines: Additional red and blue lines represent extended overbought and oversold levels, showing more extreme market conditions.
Middle Line: This line acts as a central balance point, providing a reference for the current market state relative to overbought and oversold conditions.
Intermediate Middle Levels: These are additional lines marked in lighter shades of blue and red, indicating lower mid and higher mid levels that can signal emerging trends or potential reversals.
Markers: Distinct shapes are used to highlight potential trend reversals, helping with identifying opportunities.
Multi-Timeframe
The indicator's flexibility allows for application across most asset classes and timeframes, making it suitable for different trading strategies, from day trading to long-term investing.
Example using the Daily BandPercentile on a 4H chart:

What RSI? Weighted Heiken Ashi Triple RSIWhat You're Looking At:
The indicator presents a few key elements on its pane which is separate from the price chart:
Smoothed RSI Average Line: This line represents an average of three different RSI calculations, each weighted differently. It's been smoothed out to reduce noise and help you see the trend more clearly.
Moving Average Line: This is a line that smooths out the average RSI line even further and helps you identify the overall trend.
Bollinger Bands: These are two lines that create a channel around the RSI average line. The upper band typically represents an overbought condition, and the lower band represents an oversold condition.
Background Color: The background of the indicator pane will change colors to indicate buy (green) or sell (red) signals.
Horizontal Lines: There are horizontal lines drawn at levels 70, 50, and 30. These represent overbought, midpoint, and oversold levels, respectively.
How to Operate and Interpret:
Trend Identification: Look at the moving average line. If it's trending upwards, the overall momentum may be considered bullish. If it's trending downwards, the momentum may be bearish.
Buy Signals: You may consider a buy signal when:
The smoothed RSI average crosses above the moving average line.
The smoothed RSI average is below 30 and starts to rise, crossing the oversold line.
The background color turns green, signifying favorable conditions to buy according to the indicator's logic.
Sell Signals: You may consider a sell signal when:
The smoothed RSI average crosses below the moving average line.
The smoothed RSI average is above 70 and starts to fall, crossing the overbought line.
The background color turns red, signifying favorable conditions to sell according to the indicator's logic.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: When the smoothed RSI line touches or crosses the Bollinger Bands, it could be indicating that the asset is overbought (upper band) or oversold (lower band). Some traders use these conditions to look for potential reversals.
Cautions for Trading:
If the smoothed RSI average is between the bands and near the middle line (50), the market might be considered neutral, and some traders may choose to wait for clearer signals.
Just because the indicator gives a buy or sell signal, it doesn't mean the price will immediately move in that direction. It's important to consider other factors in your trading strategy.
Final Notes:
Always use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis methods. No indicator is perfect, and they should be used to supplement your trading strategy, not replace it.
It's important to set stop losses according to your risk tolerance when entering any trades based on these signals.
Practice with the indicator in a demo account to become familiar with its behavior before using it with real money.
By following the movements and signals of this indicator, you can get a sense of the momentum and potential entry or exit points in the markets you are trading.
Bollinger Bands (Nadaraya Smoothed) | Flux ChartsTicker: AMEX:SPY , Timeframe: 1m, Indicator settings: default
General Purpose
This script is an upgrade to the classic Bollinger Bands. The idea behind Bollinger bands is the detection of price movements outside of a stock's typical fluctuations. Bollinger Bands use a moving average over period n plus/minus the standard deviation over period n times a multiplier. When price closes above or below either band this can be considered an abnormal movement. This script allows for the classic Bollinger Band interpretation while de-noising or "smoothing" the bands.
Efficacy
Ticker: AMEX:SPY , Timeframe: 1m, Indicator settings: Standard Dev: 2; Level 1 : off; Level 2: off; labels: off
Upper Band Key:
Blue: Bollinger No smoothing
Orange: Bollinger SMA smoothing period of 10
Purple: Bollinger EMA smoothing period of 10
Red: Nadaraya Smoothed Bollinger bandwidth of 6
Here we chose periods so that each would have a similar offset from the original Bollinger's. Notice that the Red Band has a much smoother result while on average having a similar fit to the other smoothing techniques. Increasing the EMA's or SMA's period would result in them being smoother however the offset would increase making them less accurate to the original data.
Ticker: AMEX:SPY , Timeframe: 1m, Indicator settings: Standard Dev: 2; Level 1: off; Level 2: off; labels: off
Upper Band Key:
Blue: Bollinger No smoothing
Orange: Bollinger SMA smoothing period of 20
Purple: Bollinger EMA smoothing period of 20
Red: Nadaraya Smoothed Bollinger bandwidth of 6
This makes the Nadaraya estimator a particularly efficacious technique in this use case as it achieves a superior smoothness to fit ratio.
How to Use
This indicator is not intended to be used on its own. Its use case is to identify outlier movements and periods of consolidation. The Smoothing Factor when lowered results in a more reactive but noisy graph. This setting is also known as the "bandwidth" ; it essentially raises the amplitude of the kernel function causing a greater weighting to recent data similar to lowering the period of a SMA or EMA. The repaint smoothing simply draws on the Bollinger's each chart update. Typically repaint would be used for processing and displaying discrete data however currently it's simply another way to display the Bollinger Bands.
What makes this script unique.
Since Bollinger bands use standard deviation they have excess noise. By noise we mean minute fluctuations which most traders will not find useful in their strategies. The Nadaraya-Watson estimator, as used, is essentially a weighted average akin to an ema. A gaussian kernel is placed at the candlestick of interest. That candlestick's value will have the highest weight. From that point the other candlesticks' values effect on the average will decrease with the slope of the kernel function. This creates a localized mean of the Bollinger Bands allowing for reduced noise with minimal distortion of the original Bollinger data.
Z-Score - AsymmetrikZ-Score-Asymmetrik User Manual
Introduction
The Z-Score Indicator is a powerful tool used in technical analysis to measure how far a data point is from the mean value of a dataset, measured in terms of standard deviations. This indicator helps traders identify potential overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
This user manual provides a comprehensive guide on how to use the Z-Score Indicator in TradingView.
0. Quickstart
- Set the thresholds based on your asset (number of standard deviations that you consider being extreme for this asset / timeframe).
- Red background indicates a possible overbought situation, green background an oversold one.
- The color and direction of the Z-Score Line acts as a confirmation of the trend reversal.
1. Indicator Overview
The Z-Score Indicator, also known as the Z-Score Oscillator, is designed to display the Z-Score of a selected financial instrument on your TradingView chart. The Z-Score measures how many standard deviations an asset's price is from its mean (average) price over a specified period.
The indicator consists of the following components:
- Z-Score Line: This line represents the Z-Score value and is displayed on the indicator panel.
- Background Color: The background color of the indicator panel changes based on user-defined thresholds.
2. Inputs
The indicator provides several customizable inputs to tailor it to your specific trading preferences:
- Number of Periods: This input allows you to define the number of periods over which the Z-Score will be calculated. A longer period will provide a smoother Z-Score line but may be less responsive to recent price changes.
- Z-Score Low Threshold: Sets the lower threshold value for the Z-Score. When the Z-Score crosses below this threshold, the background color of the indicator panel changes accordingly.
- Z-Score High Threshold: Sets the upper threshold value for the Z-Score. When the Z-Score crosses above this threshold, the background color of the indicator panel changes accordingly.
3. How to Use the Indicator
Here are the steps to use the Z-Score Indicator:
- Adjust Parameters: Modify the indicator's inputs as needed. You can change the number of periods for the Z-Score calculation and set your desired low and high thresholds.
- Interpret the Indicator: Observe the Z-Score line on the indicator panel. It fluctuates above and below zero. Pay attention to the background color changes when the Z-Score crosses your specified thresholds.
4. Interpreting the Indicator
- Z-Score Line: The Z-Score line represents the current Z-Score value. When it is above zero, it suggests that the asset's price is above the mean, indicating potential overvaluation. When below zero, it suggests undervaluation.
- Background Color: The background color of the indicator panel changes based on the Z-Score's position relative to the specified thresholds. Green indicates the Z-Score is below the low threshold (potential undervaluation), while red indicates it is above the high threshold (potential overvaluation).
- Z-Score Line Color: The color of the Z-Score line shows that the Z-Score is trending up compared to its moving average. This can be used as a validation of the background color.
5. Customization Options
You can customize the Z-Score Indicator in the following ways:
- Adjust Inputs: Modify the number of periods and the Z-Score thresholds.
- Change Line and Background Colors: You can customize the colors of the Z-Score line and background by editing the indicator's script.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using the Z-Score Indicator, make sure to check the following:
- Ensure that the indicator is applied correctly to your chart.
- Verify that the indicator's inputs match your intended settings.
- Contact me for more support if needed
7. Conclusion
The Z-Score Indicator is a valuable tool for traders and investors to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. By understanding how the Z-Score works and customizing it to your preferences, you can integrate it into your trading strategy to make informed decisions.
Remember that trading involves risk, and it's essential to combine technical indicators like the Z-Score with other analysis methods and risk management strategies for successful trading.
BB phasesThis indicator is designed to visually represent different market phases based on Bollinger Bands (BB) and provide insights into potential bullish and bearish signals. Let's break down what the indicator does:
The indicator smoothly transitions from the "squeeze" phase to "bullish" or "bearish" phases based on specific price conditions. Here's a more detailed explanation of how this transition occurs:
Squeeze Phase: The "squeeze" phase is identified when the closing price is within the range between the upper Bollinger Band (upper BB) and the lower Bollinger Band (lower BB).
Transition to Bullish Phase: The transition from "squeeze" to "bullish" phase occurs when the price closes above the upper BB. The bullish phase will last while the price hasn't closed below the middle BB.
Transition to Bearish Phase: Conversely, the transition from "squeeze" to "bearish" phase occurs when the price closes below the lower BB. The bearish phase will last while the price hasn't closed above the middle BB.
Another feature of the indicator is to display bearish/bullish triangles when the price reintegrate the bollinger bands after it previously breaked it. For example if the price closes below the lower BB and then the next candle in above the lower BB, a bullish triangle will be displayed.
Directional Bollinger Bands PredictorThis strategy works on the principal that if Bollinger bands are closer to each other then the price is sideways and if it expands then the market is trending.
The strategy is built with a standard deviation of 2 from the EMA 20 and with a range of 0.25.
Explanation of Input Settings:
1. EMA Length: Set as a standard 20 EMA however the trader can make changes if required
2. Standard Deviation Multiplier: This depicts the value of the bands that are formed in association to the EMA value. The default is set to 2 however the same can be changed by the trader.
3. Threshold Value: The threshold Value is the percentage of squeeze within the bands that show if the market is sideways or not. The standard is set at 0.25 however it can be changed.
Unlike the standard Bollinger Bands this indicator will help the user differentiate between rangebound markets and trending markets as a result of which the user can deploy the following trading systems
A. Small reversal trades from the upper band to the lower band when the area is highlighted and the market is range bound and
B. Trend following trades when the bands start expanding and the highlight is omitted.
Fiboborsa+BistTitle: "Fiboborsa+Bist Indicator for TradingView"
Description: The "Fiboborsa+Bist" indicator is a powerful tool designed for TradingView users. This indicator offers a comprehensive set of technical indicators to assist you in your technical analysis and trading decisions.
Features:
Simple Moving Averages (SMA): You can enable or disable SMA with different periods (20, 50, 100, 200) to observe different timeframes and trends.
SMA Strategy: Use SMA crossovers to determine trends. Watch for the 20-period SMA crossing above the 50-period SMA for a bullish signal. For a bearish signal, observe the 50-period SMA crossing below the 100-period SMA.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Similar to SMA, you can enable or disable EMA with different periods (5, 8, 14, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233) for more precise trend analysis.
EMA Strategy: Use EMA crossovers and crossunders for short-term trend changes. A buy signal may occur when the 5-period EMA crosses above the 14-period EMA, while a crossunder suggests a selling opportunity.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMA): Customize WMA settings with various periods (5, 13, 21, 34, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987) to suit your trading style.
WMA Strategy: Use WMA crossovers to verify trends. When the 13-period WMA crosses above the 34-period WMA, it may indicate an uptrend.
Buy and Sell Signals: The indicator provides buy and sell signals based on EMA crossovers and crossunders. Strong signals are also highlighted.
EMA Buy and Sell Strategy: Make informed trading decisions using buy and sell signals generated by EMA crossovers and crossunders.
Ichimoku Cloud: You can enable the Ichimoku Cloud for a clear visual representation of support and resistance levels.
Ichimoku Strategy: Use the Ichimoku Cloud to determine trend direction. Entering long positions is common when the price is above the cloud and considering short positions when it's below the cloud. Verify the trend with the Chikou Span.
Bollinger Bands: Easily visualize price volatility by enabling the Bollinger Bands feature.
Bollinger Bands Strategy: Bollinger Bands help you visualize price volatility. Look for potential reversal points when the price touches or crosses the upper or lower bands.
Use the "Fiboborsa+Bist" indicator to enhance your trading strategies and make informed decisions in the dynamic world of financial markets.
Additional Information:
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool used to monitor price volatility and determine overbought or oversold conditions. This indicator consists of three components:
Middle Moving Average (SMA): Typically, a 20-day SMA is used.
Upper Band: Calculated by adding two times the standard deviation to the SMA.
Lower Band: Calculated by subtracting two times the standard deviation from the SMA.
As the price moves between these two bands, it becomes possible to identify potential buying or selling points by comparing its height or low with these bands.
Ichimoku Cloud: The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive indicator used for trend identification, defining support and resistance levels, and measuring trend strength. The Ichimoku Cloud comprises five key components:
Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line): Used to identify short-term trends.
Kijun Sen (Base Line): Used to identify medium-term trends.
Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): Calculated as (Tenkan Sen + Kijun Sen) / 2 and shows future support and resistance levels.
Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): Calculated as (highest high + lowest low) / 2 and indicates future support and resistance levels.
Chikou Span (Lagging Line): Enables tracking the price backward.
The Ichimoku Cloud interprets a price above the cloud as an uptrend and below the cloud as a downtrend. The Chikou Span assists in verifying the current trend.
ADDITIONAL STRATEGY WITH RSI AND MACD INDICATORS
**Strategy: Two-Stage Trading Strategy Using RSI, MACD, and Fiboborsa+Bist Indicators**
**Stage 1: Determining the Trend and Selecting the Trading Direction**
1. **Trend Identification with Fiboborsa+Bist Indicator:**
- Analyze the simple moving averages (SMA), exponential moving averages (EMA), and weighted moving averages (WMA) used with the Fiboborsa+Bist indicator. These indicators will provide information about the direction of the market trend.
2. **Identifying Overbought and Oversold Conditions with RSI:**
- Use the RSI indicator to identify overbought (70 and above) and oversold (30 and below) conditions. This helps in measuring the strength of the trend. If RSI enters the overbought zone, a downward correction is likely. If RSI enters the oversold zone, an upward correction is probable.
3. **Evaluating Momentum with MACD:**
- Examine price momentum using the MACD indicator. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it may indicate an increasing upward momentum. Conversely, a downward cross can suggest an increasing downward momentum.
**Stage 2: Generating Buy and Sell Signals**
4. **Combining RSI, MACD, and Fiboborsa+Bist Indicators:**
- To generate a buy signal, wait for RSI to move out of the oversold region into an uptrend and for the MACD line to cross above the signal line.
- To generate a sell signal, wait for RSI to move out of the overbought region into a downtrend and for the MACD line to cross below the signal line.
5. **Confirmation with Fiboborsa+Bist Indicator:**
- When you receive a buy or sell signal, use the Fiboborsa+Bist indicator to confirm the market trend. Confirming the trend can strengthen your trade signals.
6. **Setting Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:**
- Remember to manage risk when opening buy or sell positions. Set stop-loss and take-profit levels to limit your risk.
7. **Monitor and Adjust Your Trades:**
- Continuously monitor your trade positions and adjust your strategy as per market conditions.
This two-stage trading strategy offers the ability to determine trends and generate trade signals using different indicators. However, every trading strategy involves risks, so risk management and practical application are essential. Also, it's recommended to test this strategy in a demo account before using it in a real trading account.

The script provides an in-depth analysis of Solana's performance and volatility. It showcases Solana's price, its inverse relationship, its own volatility, and even juxtaposes it against Bitcoin's 24-hour historical volatility. All of these are presented using the Bollinger Bands Percentage (BB%) methodology to normalise the price and volatility values between 0 and 1.
Key Components:
Inputs:
SOLANA PRICE (SOLUSD): The price of Solana.
SOLANA INVERSE (SOLUSDT.3S): The inverse of Solana's price.
SOLANA VOLATILITY (SOLUSDSHORTS): Volatility for Solana.
BITCOIN 24 HOUR HISTORICAL VOLATILITY (BVOL24H): Bitcoin's volatility over the past 24 hours.
BB Calculations:
The script uses the Bollinger Bands methodology to calculate the mean (SMA) and the standard deviation of the prices and volatilities over a certain period (default is 20 periods). The calculated upper and lower bands help in normalising the values to the range of 0 to 1.
Normalised Metrics Plotting:
For better visualisation and comparative analysis, the normalised values for:
Solana Price
Solana Inverse
Solana Volatility
Bitcoin 24hr Volatility
are plotted with steplines.

Better RSIThis script is an enhancement of the original RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator for TradingView. While the core RSI functionality remains intact, several powerful features have been added to make it a "Better RSI" tool for traders and investors.
Key Features:
1. Divergence Detection: The script now includes both Bullish and Hidden Divergence detection. Bullish Divergence helps identify potential trend reversals when the price makes lower lows, but the RSI makes higher lows. Conversely, Hidden Divergence highlights instances where the RSI and price move in opposite directions, signaling potential trend continuation or reversal.
2. Bollinger Band Breakout Highlight: Users have the option to select "Bollinger Bands" as the Moving Average (MA) type in the settings. When enabled, this feature highlights RSI-Bollinger Band breakouts. It's a valuable tool for traders looking to capitalize on RSI movements in conjunction with Bollinger Bands.
3. Customizable Settings: The script provides a range of customizable settings, allowing you to adjust parameters like RSI length, MA type, Bollinger Bands standard deviation, and more to suit your trading strategy.
4. Clear Visuals: The script offers clear visual cues, with colored backgrounds indicating RSI overbought and oversold levels, as well as extreme breakouts. Bullish and bearish divergence points are also marked with distinct crosses, making it easy to spot potential trading opportunities.
Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting, the "Better RSI" script empowers you with advanced tools to make more informed trading decisions. Use it to identify potential trend reversals, continuation patterns, and RSI-Bollinger Band breakouts in the market.
Multi Timeframe Moving AveragesThe Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is a powerful tool for technical analysis that allows traders to visualize and analyze moving averages from multiple timeframes on a single chart. This can be helpful for identifying trends, support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points.
The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to choose the number of moving averages to plot, the timeframe for each moving average, and the color and style of each line. Traders can also choose to plot the moving averages as solid lines, dashed lines, or filled bands.
The indicator also includes a number of additional features, such as:
The ability to plot standard deviations around the moving averages
The ability to display a table of all the moving averages on the chart
The ability to draw arrows on the chart to indicate when prices cross the moving averages
The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator can be used by traders of all experience levels and is a valuable tool for any technical trader's arsenal.
EXAMPLE USAGE
One way to use the Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is to identify trends. If the moving averages on all timeframes are sloping in the same direction, then the market is likely trending in that direction. For example, if the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages are all sloping upwards, then the market is likely in a bullish trend.
Another way to use the Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is to identify support and resistance levels. Moving averages can act as both support and resistance levels, depending on the direction of the trend. For example, if the market is in a bullish trend, then the 50-day moving average can act as a support level. If the market price falls below the 50-day moving average, it could signal a potential reversal of the trend.
The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator can also be used to identify potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader could enter a long position when the price crosses above the 50-day moving average and exit the position when the price crosses below the 200-day moving average.
BOLLINGER BANDS SIGNAL
For every available timeframe, if prices bounce off the lower band and cross above their moving average, the upper band becomes the upper price target. A crossing below the moving average would identify the lower band as the downside target. In a strong uptrend, prices will usually fluctuate between the upper band and the average. In that case, a crossing below the average warns of a trend reversal to the downside.
USER INPUT SETTINGS
The elements below reflect the indicator’s settings menu structure:
Near Hit % : Reduce/increase target distance by setting them closer/further away from the band. This is a percentage of the distance between the moving average and its bands.
Gradient (Size & Style) : if on, plots a customizable gradient of colors instead of lines to represent standard deviations. Each color can be changed in the Moving Average Settings” section of the settings menu
Arrows (width & Shift) : if on, will display arrow-shaped lines at the right of the real-time bar. After an MA crossover/crossunder, the arrow starts at the moving average and ends at the corresponding band until the target gets hit.
Backtest Table (Location & Size) : if on, shows a timeframe screener table. Use “Small” as a Size for better mobile screen displays. This table allows you to see active targets and their directions across every timeframe. The table also displays the weighted average (%) of Hit targets signals, from the chart's timeframe point of view to all other timeframes.
St. Dev. (length & Mult.) : Bollinger Bands / Standard deviation lookback period & multiplier
Trade Labels : off by default, highlight crossovers, crossunders, and target hit with a label numbered with its corresponding moving average from the settings menu: MA01, MA02, etc.
Moving Averages : Show/hide plotted Moving Averages Lines
Moving Average Settings (plotted)
These are the 5 moving averages and corresponding bands that can be plotted on the chart. For each of those, you can customize their timeframes, types (SMA, EMA, etc.), and lookback periods
Other Moving Averages (no plots)
Similar to the above, these moving averages will reflect on the vertical arrows and inside the table
CONCLUSION
The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is a powerful tool for technical analysis that can be used to identify trends, support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points. The indicator is highly customizable and includes a number of additional features, such as the ability to plot standard deviations and display a table of all the moving averages on the chart. The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is a valuable tool for any technical trader's arsenal.

How it does it
==================
To explain how this indictor generate signal or does what it does, its best to put in points.
I have coded the strategy for each of the indicator, for some of the indicator you will see the option to choose strategy variation, these variants are either famous among the traders or its the ones I found more accurate based on my usage. By coding the strategy I will have the BUY and SELL signal generated by each indicator in the backend.
Next, the indicator will identify your selected LEADING INDICATOR and the CONFIRMATION INDICATOR(s).
On each candle close, the indicator will check if the selected LEADING INDICATOR generates signal (long or short).
Once the leading indicator generates the signal, then the indicator will scan each of the selected CONFIRMATION INDICATORS on candle close to check if any of the CONFIRMATION INDICATOR generated signal (long or short).
Until this point, all the process is happening in the backend, the indicator will print LONG or SHORT signal on the chart ONLY if LEADING INDICATOR and all the selected CONFIRMATION INDICATORS generates signal on candle close. example for long signal, the LEADING INDICATOR and all selected CONFIRMATION INDICATORS must print long signal.
The dashboard table will show your selected LEADING and CONFIRMATION INDICATORS and if LEADING or the CONFIRMATION INDICATORS have generated signal. Signal generated by LEADING and CONFIRMATION indicator whether long or short, is indicated by tick icon ✔. and if any of the selected CONFIRMATION or LEADING indicator does not generate signal on candle close, it will be indicated with cross symbol ✖.

find bulish patternsIn this script:
We continue to calculate the bullish engulfing condition for monthly candlesticks (engulfingConditionM) as before.
We then create two variables (engulfingConditionY and lastYear) to calculate the yearly engulfing condition.
We use an if statement to check if the year has changed compared to the previous bar. If it has, we update the engulfingConditionY variable; otherwise, we keep the previous year's value.
Finally, we plot the monthly and yearly signals on the chart.
This code allows you to work with monthly data and calculate yearly signals based on the monthly data available in TradingView. Please note that this is an approximation and not true yearly resolution data, but it's a common workaround used in TradingView Pine Script.
Pro Bollinger Bands CalculatorThe "Pro Bollinger Bands Calculator" indicator joins our suite of custom trading tools, which includes the "Pro Supertrend Calculator", the "Pro RSI Calculator" and the "Pro Momentum Calculator."
Expanding on this series, the "Pro Bollinger Bands Calculator" is tailored to offer traders deeper insights into market dynamics by harnessing the power of the Bollinger Bands indicator.
Its core mission remains unchanged: to scrutinize historical price data and provide informed predictions about future price movements, with a specific focus on detecting potential bullish (green) or bearish (red) candlestick patterns.
1. Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The indicator kicks off by computing the Bollinger Bands, a well-known volatility indicator. It calculates two pivotal Bollinger Bands parameters:
- Bollinger Bands Length: This parameter sets the lookback period for Bollinger Bands calculations.
- Bollinger Bands Deviation: It determines the deviation multiplier for the upper and lower bands, typically set at 2.0.
2. Visualizing Bollinger Bands:
The Bollinger Bands derived from the calculations are skillfully plotted on the price chart:
- Red Line: Represents the upper Bollinger Band during bearish trends, suggesting potential price declines.
- Teal Line: Represents the lower Bollinger Band in bullish market conditions, signaling the possibility of price increases.
3.Analyzing Consecutive Candlesticks:
The indicator's core functionality revolves around tracking consecutive candlestick patterns based on their relationship with the Bollinger Bands lines. To be considered for analysis, a candlestick must consistently close either above (green candles) or below (red candles) the Bollinger Bands lines for multiple consecutive periods.
4. Labeling and Enumeration:
To convey the count of consecutive candles displaying consistent trend behavior, the indicator meticulously assigns labels to the price chart. The position of these labels varies depending on the direction of the trend, appearing either below (for bullish patterns) or above (for bearish patterns) the candlesticks. The label colors match the candle colors: green labels for bullish candles and red labels for bearish ones.
5. Tabular Data Presentation:
The indicator complements its graphical analysis with a customizable table that prominently displays comprehensive statistical insights. Key data points within the table encompass:
- Consecutive Candles: The count of consecutive candles displaying consistent trend characteristics.
- Candles Above Upper BB: The number of candles closing above the upper Bollinger Band during the consecutive period.
- Candles Below Lower BB: The number of candles closing below the lower Bollinger Band during the consecutive period.
- Upcoming Green Candle: An estimated probability of the next candlestick being bullish, derived from historical data.
- Upcoming Red Candle: An estimated probability of the next candlestick being bearish, also based on historical data.
6. Custom Configuration:
To cater to diverse trading strategies and preferences, the indicator offers extensive customization options. Traders can fine-tune parameters such as Bollinger Bands length, upper and lower band deviations, label and table placement, and table size to align with their unique trading approaches.
Bollinger Bands Heatmap (BBH)The Bollinger Bands Heatmap (BBH) Indicator provides a unique visualization of Bollinger Bands by displaying the full distribution of prices as a heatmap overlaying your price chart. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands, which plot the mean and standard deviation as lines, BBH illustrates the entire statistical distribution of prices based on a normal distribution model.
This heatmap indicator offers traders a visually appealing way to understand the probabilities associated with different price levels. The lower the weight of a certain level, the more transparent it appears on the heatmap, making it easier to identify key areas of interest at a glance.
Key Features
Dynamic Heatmap: Changes in real-time as new price data comes in.
Fully Customizable: Adjust the scale, offset, alpha, and other parameters to suit your trading style.
Visually Engaging: Uses gradients of colors to distinguish between high and low probabilities.
Settings
Scale
Tooltip: Scale the size of the heatmap.
Purpose: The 'Scale' setting allows you to adjust the dimensions of each heatmap box. A higher value will result in larger boxes and a more generalized view, while a lower value will make the boxes smaller, offering a more detailed look at price distributions.
Values: You can set this from a minimum of 0.125, stepping up by increments of 0.125.
Scale ATR Length
Tooltip: The ATR used to scale the heatmap boxes.
Purpose: This setting is designed to adapt the heatmap to the instrument's volatility. It determines the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used to size the heatmap boxes.
Values: Minimum allowable value is 5. You can increase this to capture more bars in the ATR calculation for greater smoothing.
Offset
Tooltip: Offset mean by ATR.
Purpose: The 'Offset' setting allows you to shift the mean value by a specified ATR. This could be useful for strategies that aim to capitalize on extreme price movements.
Values: The value can be any floating-point number. Positive values shift the mean upward, while negative values shift it downward.
Multiplier
Tooltip: Bollinger Bands Multiplier.
Purpose: The 'Multiplier' setting determines how wide the Bollinger Bands are around the mean. A higher value will result in a wider heatmap, capturing more extreme price movements. A lower value will tighten the heatmap around the mean price.
Values: The minimum is 0, and you can increase this in steps of 0.2.
Length
Tooltip: Length of Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Purpose: This setting specifies the period for the Simple Moving Average that serves as the basis for the Bollinger Bands. A higher value will produce a smoother average, while a lower value will make it more responsive to price changes.
Values: Can be set to any integer value.
Heat Map Alpha
Tooltip: Opacity level of the heatmap.
Purpose: This controls the transparency of the heatmap. A lower value will make the heatmap more transparent, allowing you to see the price action more clearly. A higher value will make the heatmap more opaque, emphasizing the bands.
Values: Ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque).
Color Settings
High Color & Low Color: These settings allow you to customize the gradient colors of the heatmap.
Purpose: Use contrasting colors for better visibility or colors that you prefer. The 'High Color' is used for areas with high density (high probability), while the 'Low Color' is for low-density areas (low probability).
Usage Scenarios for Settings
For Volatile Markets: Increase 'Scale ATR Length' for better smoothing and set a higher 'Multiplier' to capture wider price movements.
For Trend Following: You might want to set a larger 'Length' for the SMA and adjust 'Scale' and 'Offset' to focus on more probable price zones.
These are just recommendations; feel free to experiment with these settings to suit your specific trading requirements.
How To Interpret
The heatmap gives a visual representation of the range within which prices are likely to move. Areas with high density (brighter color) indicate a higher probability of the price being in that range, whereas areas with low density (more transparent) indicate a lower probability.
Bright Areas: Considered high-probability zones where the price is more likely to be.
Transparent Areas: Considered low-probability zones where the price is less likely to be.
Tips For Use
Trend Confirmation: Use the heatmap along with other trend indicators to confirm the strength and direction of a trend.
Volatility: Use the density and spread of the heatmap as an indication of market volatility.
Entry and Exit: High-density areas could be potential support and resistance levels, aiding in entry and exit decisions.
Caution
The Bollinger Bands Heatmap assumes a normal distribution of prices. While this is a standard assumption in statistics, it is crucial to understand that real-world price movements may not always adhere to a normal distribution.
Conclusion
The Bollinger Bands Heatmap Indicator offers traders a fresh perspective on Bollinger Bands by transforming them into a visual, real-time heatmap. With its customizable settings and visually engaging display, BBH can be a useful tool for traders looking to understand price probabilities in a dynamic way.
Feel free to explore its features and adjust the settings to suit your trading strategy. Happy trading!
Bollinger Bands Liquidity Cloud [ChartPrime]This indicator overlays a heatmap on the price chart, providing a detailed representation of Bollinger bands' profile. It offers insights into the price's behavior relative to these bands. There are two visualization styles to choose from: the Volume Profile and the Z-Score method.
Features
Volume Profile: This method illustrates how the price interacts with the Bollinger bands based on the traded volume.
Z-Score: In this mode, the indicator samples the real distribution of Z-Scores within a specified window and rescales this distribution to the desired sample size. It then maps the distribution as a heatmap by calculating the corresponding price for each Z-Score sample and representing its weight via color and transparency.
Parameters
Length: The period for the simple moving average that forms the base for the Bollinger bands.
Multiplier: The number of standard deviations from the moving average to plot the upper and lower Bollinger bands.
Main:
Style: Choose between "Volume" and "Z-Score" visual styles.
Sample Size: The size of the bin. Affects the granularity of the heatmap.
Window Size: The lookback window for calculating the heatmap. When set to Z-Score, a value of `0` implies using all available data. It's advisable to either use `0` or the highest practical value when using the Z-Score method.
Lookback: The amount of historical data you want the heatmap to represent on the chart.
Smoothing: Implements sinc smoothing to the distribution. It smoothens out the heatmap to provide a clearer visual representation.
Heat Map Alpha: Controls the transparency of the heatmap. A higher value makes it more opaque, while a lower value makes it more transparent.
Weight Score Overlay: A toggle that, when enabled, displays a letter score (`S`, `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`) inside the heatmap boxes, based on the weight of each data point. The scoring system categorizes each weight into one of these letters using the provided percentile ranks and the median.
Color
Color: Color for high values.
Standard Deviation Color: Color to represent the standard deviation on the Bollinger bands.
Text Color: Determines the color of the letter score inside the heatmap boxes. Adjusting this parameter ensures that the score is visible against the heatmap color.
Usage
Once this indicator is applied to your chart, the heatmap will be overlaid on the price chart, providing a visual representation of the price's behavior in relation to the Bollinger bands. The intensity of the heatmap is directly tied to the price action's intensity, defined by your chosen parameters.
When employing the Volume Profile style, a brighter and more intense area on the heatmap indicates a higher trading volume within that specific price range. On the other hand, if you opt for the Z-Score method, the intensity of the heatmap reflects the Z-Score distribution. Here, a stronger intensity is synonymous with a more frequent occurrence of a specific Z-Score.
For those seeking an added layer of granularity, there's the "Weight Score Overlay" feature. When activated, each box in your heatmap will sport a letter score, ranging from `S` to `D`. This score categorizes the weight of each data point, offering a concise breakdown:
- `S`: Data points with a weight of 1.
- `A`: Weights below 1 but greater than or equal to the 75th percentile rank.
- `B`: Weights under the 75th percentile but at or above the median.
- `C`: Weights beneath the median but surpassing the 25th percentile rank.
- `D`: All that fall below the 25th percentile rank.
This scoring feature augments the heatmap's visual data, facilitating a quicker interpretation of the weight distribution across the dataset.
Further Explanations
Volume Profile
A volume profile is a tool used by traders to visualize the amount of trading volume occurring at specific price levels. This kind of profile provides a deep insight into the market's structure and helps traders identify key areas of support and resistance, based on where the most trading activity took place. The concept behind the volume profile is that the amount of volume at each price level can indicate the potential importance of that price.
In this indicator:
- The volume profile mode creates a visual representation by sampling trading volumes across price levels.
- The representation displays the balance between bullish and bearish volumes at each level, which is further differentiated using a color gradient from `low_color` to `high_color`.
- The volume profile becomes more refined with sinc smoothing, helping to produce a smoother distribution of volumes.
Z-Score and Distribution Resampling
Z-Score, in the context of trading, represents the number of standard deviations a data point (e.g., closing price) is from the mean (average). It’s a measure of how unusual or typical a particular data point is in relation to all the data. In simpler terms, a high Z-Score indicates that the data point is far away from the mean, while a low Z-Score suggests it's close to the mean.
The unique feature of this indicator is that it samples the real distribution of z-scores within a window and then resamples this distribution to fit the desired sample size. This process is termed as "resampling in the context of distribution sampling" . Resampling provides a way to reconstruct and potentially simplify the original distribution of z-scores, making it easier for traders to interpret.
In this indicator:
- Each Z-Score corresponds to a price value on the chart.
- The resampled distribution is then used to display the heatmap, with each Z-Score related price level getting a heatmap box. The weight (or importance) of each box is represented as a combination of color and transparency.
How to Interpret the Z-Score Distribution Visualization:
When interpreting the Z-Score distribution through color and alpha in the visualization, it's vital to understand that you're seeing a representation of how unusual or typical certain data points are without directly viewing the numerical Z-Score values. Here's how you can interpret it:
Intensity of Color: This often corresponds to the distance a particular data point is from the mean.
Lighter shades (closer to `low_color`) typically indicate data points that are more extreme, suggesting overbought or oversold conditions. These could signify potential reversals or significant deviations from the norm.
Darker shades (closer to `high_color`) represent data points closer to the mean, suggesting that the price is relatively typical compared to the historical data within the given window.
Alpha (Transparency): The degree of transparency can indicate the significance or confidence of the observed deviation. More opaque boxes might suggest a stronger or more reliable deviation from the mean, implying that the observed behavior is less likely to be a random occurrence.
More transparent boxes could denote less certainty or a weaker deviation, meaning that the observed price behavior might not be as noteworthy.
- Combining Color and Alpha: By observing both the intensity of color and the level of transparency, you get a richer understanding. For example:
- A light, opaque box could suggest a strong, significant deviation from the mean, potentially signaling an overbought or oversold scenario.
- A dark, transparent box might indicate a weak, insignificant deviation, suggesting the price is behaving typically and is close to its average.
The Bull Trader's ZonesTBT Zones - Preferably used on the 4H chart. You should combine this script with other technical indicators as well.
In general the script helps find buy and sell opportunities early enough so as to make better decisions before taking a trade. Basically, it uses the rsi indicator, the long lower and long upper shadow candle sticks to create buy and sell zones.
The script is visibly engaging so one could easily know when the price is reverting into an Overbought or Sell zone after an uptrend, or reverting into an Oversold or Buy zone after an downtrend.
There is also the well known Bollinger Band Indicator, and it could be safer taking short trades when the price of the asset is above the Bollinger Basis, preferably close to the upper Bollinger Band. Vice-versa for long trades.
Adding the Camarilla L3 and H3 strategy could give an edge. Respecting the zones, if the open price is between H3 and L3;
BUY when the price moves back above L3 after going below L3. Target will be H1, H2, H3 levels. Stop loss can be placed at L4 level. Or trail an SL,
SELL when the price moves back below H3 after going above H3. Target will be L1,L2 L3 levels and stop loss above H4. Or trail an SL. Or simply take realistic profits.
By default the zones will extend left (back in history) which could give a view on how the zone previously performed. This option could be unchecked in the options. However, information on past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Trade safe. Get out on time. Wait for another opportunity to set up.
When you add this indicator to your chart you can set up alerts to be informed when a new zone is formed.

Rectified BB% for option tradingThis indicator shows the bollinger bands against the price all expressed in percentage of the mean BB value. With one sight you can see the amplitude of BB and the variation of the price, evaluate a reenter of the price in the BB.
The relative price is visualized as a candle with open/high/low/close value exspressed as percentage deviation from the BB mean
The indicator include a modified RSI, remapped from 0/100 to -100/100.
You can choose the BB parameters (length, standard deviation multiplier) and the RSI parameter (length, overbougth threshold, ovrsold threshold)
You can exclude/include the candles and the RSI line.
The indicator can be used to sell options when the volatility is high (the bollinger band is wide) and the price is reentering inside the bands.
If the price is forming a supply or demand area it can be a good opportunity to sell a bull put or a bear call
The RSI can be used as confirm of the supply/demand formation
If the bollinger band is narrow and the RSI is overbought/oversold it indicate a better opportunity to buy options
the indicator is designed to work with daily timeframe and default parameters.

Greedy DCA█ OVERVIEW
Detect price crashes in volatile conditions. This is an indicator for a greedy dollar cost average (DCA) strategy. That is, for people who want to repeatedly buy an asset over time when its price is crashing.
█ CONCEPTS
Price crashes are indicated if the price falls below one or more of the 4 lower Bollinger Bands which are calculated with increasing multipliers for the standard deviation.
In these conditions, the price is far below the average. Therefore they are considered good buying opportunities.
No buy signals are emitted if the Bollinger Bands are tight, i.e. if the bandwidth (upper -lower band) is below the value of the moving average multiplied with a threshold factor. This ensures that signals are only emitted if the conditions are highly volatile.
The Bollinger Bands are calculated based on the daily candles, irrespective the chart time frame. This allows to check the strategy on lower time frames
Floor and Roof IndicatorThe Floor and Roof indicator is a tool developed to help traders identify potential areas of support and resistance both for trend following and for mean reversal trading decisions.
The indicator plots the "Roof" which is the main level of resistance, and the "Floor" which is the main level of support. These lines are calculated on the "Lenght" parameter and smoothed by the "Smooth" parameter, and they use both the volatility and the main market structure as calculation methods.
Additionally, this indicator plots an area that can be modified by the "Zone width" parameter and two other lines, called "Second floor" and "Second roof" respectively, which are plotted only whenever they are significant to the price current level.
This indicator can be used in several ways:
- In a clear trend, you could wait for a break of the second floor or roof as an indication of a change in the market direction
- As the price goes out of the reversal zones, this can be an indication of a reversal
- In a clear trend, you can wait for the price to bounce on the second floor or roof lines to enter a trade

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Dollar Pile as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

DBMA - Dual Bollinger Moving AverageThe Dual Bollinger moving average (DBMA) consists of a moving average (MA) & two Bollinger Bands (BB), with the color of the bands representing the level of price compression. In its default settings, it is a 20-day simple moving average with 2 upper Bollinger Bands, having the standard deviation (SD) settings of 0.5 & 1, respectively.
How close the price is to the moving average?
For a pullback trader, the entry point should be close to the moving average, preferably with price compression. How close should it be, is where the bands serve as a guide. The low of the pullback candle should be within the bands, that is, at least within the far band (1 SD of the MA), or even better if it's within the near band (0.5 SD). When the price is outside the bands, it should not be considered favourable for a pullback entry.
For how long has the price been closer to the moving average?
John Carter’s TTM Squeeze indicator looked at the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify period of volatility contractions. Bollinger Bands being completely enclosed within the Keltner Channels is indicative of a very low volatility. This is a state of volatility contraction known as squeeze. Using different ATR lengths (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) for Keltner Channels, we can differentiate between levels of squeeze (High, Mid & Low compression, respectively). Greater the compression, higher the potential for explosive moves.
The squeeze portion of the script is based on LazyBear's script ( Squeeze Momentum Indicator )
The High, Mid & Low compression squeezes are depicted via the color of the bands being red, orange, or yellow, respectively. With the low of the pullback candle within the bands, & the squeeze color changing to red, it should be considered favourable for a pullback entry.
Trailing the price with the lower bands
The lower bands can be used for trailing with the moving average. While trailing, once the price closes below the moving average, the trailing stoploss (TSL) is said to be triggered, & the trade is exited. Here we use the bands to give it some cushion. Let the price close below the 1SD band for labelling the TSL as being triggered to exit the trade. If the price closes below the MA but is still within the bands, the signal is to keep holding the trade.
