BTC Volatility Band StrategyThis script/strategy is a pullback system designed for securities with high volatility so naturally Bitcoin is an excellent choice for trading this. This could be used both on a daily chart or on lower timeframes (I found good results on 3hr timeframe but haven't tested it on anything under 1hr).
A volatility band is created by comparing the candle close price of the previous 2 candles and and it uses this change in price to create a moving average. A band is wrapped around the moving average with a standard deviation of 1 for the inner band and 2 for the outer band. If the price is above a pre-set MA (moving average filter) then it is determined we are in an uptrend so the strategy will issue a buy signal when we are in an uptrend and there is a pullback which causes the lower inner deviation band to be spiked, but if the price continues and falls through the outer deviation band then a buy signal will not issue as this detriments that the volatility spike is to great. You can see a spike "buy" event occur on the indicator where the background is coloured green. For a short/sell then there will be a spike on the upper inner band and we are below the pre-set MA filter, for this it shows with red background on the indicator.
The user can change the date range they wish to test, the moving average period for the volatility tracking and the inner and outer band deviations. On BTC I left the inner deviation and outer deviation bands on standard settings but found the 3 period volatility tracking to be good for trading 1 day chart and the 5 period volatility tracking good for the 3hr chart. Since this is not a buy and hold strategy then for trading you would probably want to stick with the most liquid coins so you can get in and out very fast on any exchange. If you wanted to tray this on less volatile markets then changing the inner deviation band to ~0.75 would work okay in various futures markets likely stocks as well. The take profit and stop loss levels are based on a multiple of the trading range looking back the past 7 candles.
Attached result is trading 1 BTCUSDT contract on Binance.

The Amplifier - Two Day Historical Bitcoin Volatility PlotThe 3rd piece to the other two pieces to our CoT study. This is the Amplifier, which turns select signals into 'Super' Buys/Sells
The other two being the 'Bitcoin Insider CoT Delta', and the on chart Price indicator most will have, if no others the 'Hunt Bitcoin CoT Buy/Sell Signals' that will indicate the key signals, ave 4 a year on the chart as they occur.
Why Bother another CoT signal?
Its different & focused on the Insider's.
Performance -
This Indicator provided a
1. Signal 1 = 26th March 2019 = SUPER LONG at $4,500 that saw a near $14,000 run up
2. Signal 2 = 18th & 24th June 2019 = SHORT at the second & final level $11,700 after repeated attempts & failure in the $13K range, the mini Echo Bitcoin Bull of 2019
3. Signal 3 = 17th December 2019 = LONG $6,900, Bitcoin rallied to Mid $10,500's
4. Signal 4 = 18th Feb 2020 = SUPER SHORT from $9,700's to a final extreme Low of $3,000, calling the CV-19 collapse
5. Signal 5 = 17th March 2020 = LONG from $5,400 no closure point yet
6. Signal 6 = 29th June 2020 = SUPER LONG reiterate from $10,700 no closure sell signal yet
7. Signal 7 = 17th May 2020 = LONG another accumulate LONG with no sell signal yet generated at Post H&S's low of $33,000
Note - This indicator only commences March 2019, as Bitcoin futures were a recent introduction and needed to settle for 6 months in both use and data, no signals were meaningful prior & data was light.
What is Provided. - Please note the need to also add the Hunt Bitcoin Historical Volatility Indicator for full understanding.
We provide 3 things with the 3 indicators.
'Insider' indications from Largest players in the futures market.
1. Bitcoin Macro Buy Signals.
a) The Bitcoin Commitment of Traders results see us focus solely on Largest 4 Short Open Interest & Largest 4 Long Open Interest aspects of the CoT Release data.
When the difference - is tight, a kind of pinch, these have been great Buy signals in Bitcoin.
We call this difference the Delta & When Delta is 5% or less Bitcoin is a Buy.
2. Bitcoin Macro Sells.
a) A sell signal is Triggered in Bitcoin at any point the Largest 4 short OI > or = to 70
3. AMPLIFIER Trade signals 'Super' Longs or Shorts -
Extreme low volatility events leads to highly impulsive & volatile subsequent moves, if either of 1 or 2 above occur, combined with extreme low volatility
a 'Super Long' or 'SUPER SELL' is generated. In the case of the short side, given Bitcoins general expansive and MACRO Bull trend since inception, we seek an additional component
that is an extreme differential/Delta reading between 4 biggest Longs & Shorts OI.
Namely CoT Delta also must be > 47.5%
We also have a Cautionary level, where it is not necessarily a good idea to accumulate Bitcon, as a better opportunity lower may avail itself, see conditions below.
So the required logic explicitly stated below for all Signals.
1. Long - Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta < or = 5
2. SUPER Long - Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta < or = 5; and 2 Day Historical Bitcoin Volatility = or < 20
3. Short - Largest 4 Sellers OI = or > 70
4. SUPER Short - Largest 4 Sellers OI = or > 70; AND..
Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta = or > 47.5 AND 2 Day Historical BTC Volatility = or < 20
5. Caution - Largest 4 Sellers OI = or > 67.5 AND Hunt Bitcoin CoT Delta = or > 45
WARNING SEE Notes Below
Note 1 - = Largest 4 Open Interest Shorts
Note 2 - = Largest 4 Open Interest Longs
Note 3 - = Hunt Cot Delta = (Largest 4 sellers OI) -( Largest 4 Buyers OI)
Caution = Avoid new Bitcoin Accumulation Right Now, A sell signal might follow Enter on next Long
Note 4 - The Hunt Bitcoin COT Delta signal is a Largest 'Insider' Tracking tool based on a segment of Commitment of Traders data on Bitcoin Futures, released once a week on a Friday.
It is a Macro Timeframe signal , and should not be used for Day trading and Short Timeframe analysis , Entries may be optimised after a Hunt Bitcoin CoT Signal is generated by separate shorter Timeframe analysis.
Note 5 - The Historical Bitcoin Volatility is an additional 'Amplifier' component to the 'Hunt Bitcoin Cot Delta' Insider Signal
Note 6 - The Historical Bitcoin Volatility criteria varies by timeframe, the above levels are those applying on a Two Day TF Chart, select this custom timeframe in Trading View.
if additional criteria are met for LONG & SHORT insider signals, they may become 'Super Longs/Shorts', see conditions box above.
ka66: Volatility MomentumThis is a 'monitoring' indicator to see if an instrument is viable enough to be traded, by virtue of volatility (or lack of volatility in context may lead to a break out), or may become so. It shows the following information:
Price Range (high - low) averaged across a set of bars: Useful gauging potential trading profits. This was its initial goal, to not measure bars manually!
ATR : As a comparison point for the price range above. Divergence between true range (TR) and plain price range might signal volatility changes occurring in the instrument.
Signal volatility line : a moving average of the larger of the average price range and ATR. This takes inspiration from other indicators like MACD and Stochastic, and is a way of comparing change in recent volatility --- this achieves the momentum part. The larger was chosen to keep things simple, and not have a signal line per range!
avgRange = movingAvg(high - low, avgPeriod)
atr = movingAvg(trueRange, avgPeriod)
signal = movingAvg(max(avgRange, atr), avgPeriod)
Configurable periods and averaging mechanism.
Daily Historical Volatility StdDev LevelsDescription:
This indicator plots Daily Standard deviation levels on price chart based on Historical Volatility (HV). It uses the most common approach for calculating historical volatility as standard deviation of logarithmic returns, based on daily closing/settlement prices.
Assets: Currency Pairs, Commodities, also works on stocks, some indices.
Time Frames: 5min to 60min. This will also work on Daily Chart, by setting "DaystoExpire" to 21
Options:
Use Daily Data to Calculate StdDev HV (default), otherwise use the charts Time Frame
Lookback = number of days/periods to calculate stddev of HV (21 by default)
Annual = number of trading days in a calender year (252 by default)
Days to Expiry = number of days for the life of this option ( for auto calculation
this is 1 for intraday, 21 for daily and annual when chart TF used)
Settlement Source = close price by default, can use another source.
Settlement Volume Weighted Average Length = by setting this to >1 then an average
is used for settlement.
Display ### Standard Deviation Levels = select what levels are to be displayed.

Historical Volatility based Standard Deviation_V2 by ucsgears
Historical Volatility Strategy by Hpotter
Volatility Switch Indicator [LazyBear]The Volatility Switch (VOLSWITCH) indicator, by Ron McEwan, estimates current volatility in respect to historical data, thus indicating whether the market is trending or in mean reversion mode. Range is normalized to 0 - 1.
When Volatility Switch rises above the 0.5 level, volatility in the market is increasing, thus the price action can be expected to become choppier with abrupt moves. When the indicator falls below the 0.5 level from recent high readings, volatility decreases, which may be considered a sign of trend formation.
Trading strategy as suggested by Ron McEwan is:
- If VOLSWITCH is less than 0.5, volatility decreases, which may be considered a sign of trend formation
- If VOLSWITCH is greater than 0.5, market is in high volatility mode. Can be choppy. Use RSI to look for OB/OS levels.
I have implemented support for 2 lengths (14 and 21) Note that, Pine doesn't support loops. Once it is introduced, I will publish an updated version.
Building a strategy out of this is straightforward (refer to my strategy explanation above), I strongly encourage new Pinescript coders to try to a plotarrow() based overlay indicator to get more familiar with Pine.

Trend Volatility Tops and Bottoms
Big Picture:
Overall what this script try's to capture is bounces off of moving trend lines.
What you will see when using this script
one Green line, one red line, two gray lines and circles in colors blue, green, red, and purple.
RED AND GREEN LINES:
There are two trend lines, an upper and a lower line that are 1 to 2 standard deviations from the linear regression line formed by the closing price for a look back period. The green is the distance from the close price and the lower line. The red is the list from the close and the upper line. (you don't see the lower and upper lines, but yo do see the green and red lines)
The goal is too easily see when price is approaching those support and resistance levels.
GRAY LINES:
GRAY lines are a form of volatility metric. GRAYS represent the distance from the RED and GREEN lines talked about above. low volatility mean the two GRAY lines will be close and times of high volatility will be father apart.
COLORED CIRCLES:
the color circles represent possible bounce zones, when price is high or low for for a given time period.
PURPLE is caution that there could be a possible price drop
RED is a critical zone for rejection and price drop
BLUE is caution that there could be a possible price increase
GREEN is a critical zone for bounce and price increase
how its used
feel free to play around and Try new things but, how its intended to be used is on 4hr time Frame looking for longer term trends on assets that tend to be less volatile on average.
settings
some settings:
buy deviation, this will say how many standard deviations do you want the lower bounce line to be from the linear regression line
sell deviation, this will say how many standard deviations do you want the upper bounce line to be from the linear regression line
dist to zero buy: how close dose the price has to be to put out a possible bounce.
Recap
-red and purple = possible upcoming price drop... red is more critical than purple
-green and blue = possible upcoming price increase... green is more critical than blue
-use on less volatile assents and on 4hr timeframe
good luck!
Market Trend using First Derivative of MAs + Volatility Based on Smooth First Derivative Indicator by tbiktag
Volatility also from another public TV script, forgot which one though, sorry if this is yours and I haven't credited your work, let me know if it is and I'll reference it properly.
About this indicator:
Estimates whether market is trending up, down or sideways by adding the slope (first derivatives) of a fast & slow MA. Uptrend = Green, Downtrend = Red, Sideways = Yellow
Uses a minimum slope percentile to determine threshold for uptrend, downtrend & sideways. Definitely adjust this when changing timeframes, for BTCUSD at 1 hour timeframe a value of 25 is decent
Also has a measure of Volatility if you're into that
Explanation of inputs:
Bandwidth - for derivative function
Fastma - period for fast Moving Average
Slowma - period for slow Moving Average
Derivmalength - smooths out the signal, reducing single contrasting bars, but delays the signal. Use 1 if don't want to use
V length - ema of volatility if you want to smooth it
Min Slope Percentile - slope should exceed this percentile to be classified as uptrend (green) or downtrend (red) anything in this bottom percentile will be considered sideways
Mine Slope Lookback Period - # of bars back to calculate Slope Percentile
Annualised Price Volatility %Annualised Price Volatility in percent, also called Instrument Risk, as outlined by Rob Carver in his excellent books, 'Systematic Trading' and 'Leveraged Trading'.
This is written for those who have read one of his books and want to use this tool on TradingView.
Trend strength, oscillators, and volume indicators are all the rage. Finding a great setup is, of course, key. You've decided to go long. Great!
But how much is your capital at risk?
How does that compare with your level of risk tolerance?
When trading, it's key to understand just how risky a certain instrument is. An uptrend is an uptrend, but is it at an annualised volatility of 2% per year or 500% per year? If it's the former, I know I can put a good chunk of capital into trading it. But if its the latter, I don't want to put so much money at risk. Volatility is rarely in a straight line. It's usually up and down.
I won't give the whole game away. To find out more about how to use this concept of risk, I'd highly recommend the books 'Leveraged Trading' and 'Systematic Trading' by Rob Carver.
Do you have any thoughts, ideas, or questions? Let me know in the comments or send me a message! I'd be glad to help you out.
Bitcoin Implied VolatilityThis simple script collects data from FTX:BVOLUSD to plot BTC’s implied volatility as a standalone indicator instead of a chart.
Implied volatility is used to gauge future volatility and often used in options trading.
Best Volatility Calculator (Multi Instruments)Hello traders
A bit of context
Definition: Volatility is defined as the close of current candle - close of the previous N candle
This is an alternative version of my Best Volatility Calculator
The other version is displayed on a panel below. This one overlays on the chart using the "overlay=true" setting
This indicator shows the average volatility, of last N Periods, for the selected time frames and for 2 selected instruments.
You can select up to 2 timeframes with this version
Presented as Currency, Pip, percentage labels in a panel below.
Will calculate in real-time only for the current instrument on the chart.
The indicator is coded to not be repainting
Example
In the indicator screenshot, I used a lookback period of 1.
That compares the current candle close versus the previous one for the daily and weekly timeframe
Showing how the results look like using FOREX instruments (where using the PIPS labels make more sense than with cryptocurrency assets)
Best regards
Dave
R100 Volatility Combo Bands v1 (*v*)The Volatility Combo Bands are made from 4 separate volatility bands- two Bollinger Bands (10 and 20 period) and two Price Headley Acceleration Bands (10 and 20 period). The Volatility Combo Bands plot the innermost upper and lower points from these bands and then plots a mid-line. By default, only the standard 20 period Bollinger Bands and Combo Bands with mid-line are displayed, but can be configured however you want.
Try it out- see squeezes earlier, ride the bands earlier in trending markets, trade pullbacks to the Combo Bands and mid-line, trade the range of the band or use them to help identify potential support and resistance levels. Hopefully they can add another dimension to identifying volatility contraction patterns or whatever you currently use these things for!
I hope you get some value out of it. Only conditions of use are that if you improve it, let me know and if you publish something that uses it, don't hide the code! Enjoy!
Code for the Price Headley Acceleration Bands pinched and modified from LazyBear - thankyou.
Relative Strength Volatility Variable Bands [DW]This is an experimental adaptive trend following study inspired by Giorgos Siligardos's Reverse Engineering RSI and Tushar S. Chande's Variable Moving Average.
In this study, reverse engineered RSI levels are calculated and used to generate a volatility index for VMA calculation.
First, price levels are calculated for when RSI will equal 70 and 30. The difference between the levels is taken and normalized to create the volatility index.
Next, an initial VMA is calculated using the created volatility index. The moving average is an exponential calculation that adjusts the sampling length as volatility changes.
Then, upper and lower VMAs are calculated by taking a VMA of prices above and below the initial VMA. The midline is produced by taking the median of the upper and lower VMAs.
Lastly, the band levels are calculated by multiplying the distance from the midline to the upper and lower VMAs by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Bar colors are included. They're based on the midline trend and price action relative to the upper and lower VMAs.
Indicator: Volatility Quality Index [VQI]Volatility Quality Index (VQI), by Thomas Stridsman, points out the difference between bad and good volatility in order to identify better trade opportunities in the market.
This plots 3 lines:
- Red line is the VQI (actually, sum of VQI).
- Green line is the 9-period SMA of sum_of_VQI.
- Orange line is the 200-period SMA of sum_of_VQI.
Stridsman suggested to buy when VQI has increased in the previous 10 bars (use the SMAs) and sell when it has decreased in the previous 10 bars. IMO, use this with your other indicators as a confirmation signal.

Volatility & Big Market MovesThis indicator shows the volatility per candle, and highlights candles where volatility exceeds a defined threshold.
Data shown:
Furthest %-distance from the previous candle's closing price to the top (positive histogram).
Furthest %-distance from the previous candle's closing price to the bottom (negative histogram).
Candlestick Strength and Volatility ReadoutDisplays a readout on the top right corner of the screen displaying a two basic calculations (volatility and strength; i.e. candlestick size and how close to the highs or lows it closed) for more convenient candlestick (price action) analysis.
Due to restrictions with Pine Script (or my knowledge thereof) only the current and previous candlestick data is shown, rather than the one currently hovered over.
The data is derived via two simple calculations; volatility being division between the range of the candlestick's high and low by the ATR; 'strength' (what I like to call it) being the range of the body by the range of the open to high or low, depending on the facing direction (positive or negative candlestick). These are expressed as percentages and will turn green depending on the set threshold.
Using this, one can effectively automate calculations you'd have to do by hand otherwise. I personally use these as entry filters in my trading, so it helps to not have to measure, remeasure, and divide before each potential entry.
Settings are implemented to change certain variables to your liking.
Volatility and Volume by Hour EXT(Extended republication, use this instead of the old one)
The goal of this indicator is to show a “characteristic” of the instrument, regarding the price change and trading volume. You can see how the instrument “behaved” throughout the day in the lookback period. I've found this useful for timing in day trading.
The indicator creates a table on the chart to display various statistics for each hour of the day.
Important: ONLY SHOWS THE TABLE IF THE CHART’S TIMEFRAME IS 1H!
Explanation of the columns:
1. Volatility Percentage (Volat): This column shows the volatility of the price as a percentage. For example, a value of "15%" means the price movement was 15% of the total daily price movement within the hour.
2. Hourly Point Change (PointCh): This column shows the change in price points for each hour in the lookback period. For example, a value of "5" means the price has increased by 5 points in the hour, while "-3" means it has decreased by 3 points.
3. Hourly Point Change Percentage (PrCh% (LeverageX)): This column shows the percentage change in price points for each hour, adjusted with leverage multiplier. Displayed green (+) or red (-) accordingly. For example, a value of "10%" with a leverage of 2X means the price has effectively changed by 5% due to the leverage.
4. Trading Volume Percentage (TrVol): This column shows the percentage of the daily total volume that was traded in a specific hour. For example, a value of "10%" would mean that 10% of the day's total trading volume occurred in that hour.
5. Added New! - Relevancy Check: The indicator checks the last 24 candle. If the direction of the price movement was the same in the last 24 hour as the statistical direction in that hour, the background of the relevant hour in the second column goes green.
For example: if today at 9 o'clock the price went lower, so as at 9 o'clock in the loopback period, the instrument "behaves" according to statistics . So the statistics is probably more relevant for today. The more green background row the more relevancy.
Settings:
1. Lookback period: The lookback period is the number of previous bars from which data is taken to perform calculations. In this script, it's used in a loop that iterates over a certain number of past bars to calculate the statistics. TIP: Select a period the contains a trend in one direction, because an upward and a downward trend compensate the price movement in opposite directions.
2. Timezone: This is a string input that represents the user's timezone. The default value is "UTC+2". Adjust it to your timezone in order to view the hours properly.
3. Leverage: The default value is 10(!). This input is used to adjust the hourly point change percentage. For FOREX traders (for example) the statistics can show the leveraged percentage of price change. Set that according the leverage you trade the instrument with.
Use at your own risk, provided “as is” basis!
Hope you find it useful! Cheers!
Volatility ZigZagIt calculates and plots zigzag lines based on volatility and price movements. It has various inputs for customization, allowing you to adjust parameters like source data, length, deviation, line styling, and labeling options.
The indicator identifies pivot points in the price movement, drawing lines between these pivots based on the deviation from certain price levels or volatility measures.
The script labels various data points at the ZigZag pivot points on the chart. These labels provide information about different aspects of the price movement and volume around these pivot points. Here's a breakdown of what gets labeled:
Price Change: Indicates the absolute and average percentage change between the two pivot points. It displays the absolute or relative change in price as a percentage. Additionally, the average absolute price increase or the average rate of increase can also be labeled.
Volume: Shows the total volume and average volume between the two pivot points.
Number of Bars: Indicates the number of bars between the current and the last pivot point.
Reversal Price: Displays the price of the reversal point (the previous pivot).
Zero-line Volatility Quality Index (VQI) [Loxx]Originally volatility quality was invented by Thomas Stridsman, and he uses it in combination of two averages.
This version:
This doesn't use averages for trend estimation, but instead uses the slope of the Volatility quality. In order to lessen the number of signals (which can be enormous if the VQ is not filtered), some versions similar to this are using pips filters. This version is using % ATR (Average True Range) instead. The reason for that is that :
Using fixed pips value as a filter will work on one symbol and will not work on another
Changing time frames will render the filter worthless since the ranges of higher time frames are much greater than those at lower time frames, and, when you set your filter on one time frame and then try it on another, it is almost certain that it will have to be adjusted again
Additionally, this version is made to oscillate around zero line (which makes the potential levels, which are even in the original Stridsman's version doubtful, unnecessary)
Usage:
You can use the color change as signals when using this indicator
Volatility indicator based on ATR Hello,
I'm sharing to you a volatility indicator I've done in the last few weeks based on ATR. There is multiple functionalities on this indicator, the first one is an overlay displaying when an asset is in an "overvolatily zone"
(displayed with red cross) and when we are in an "undervolatily zone" (displayed with green cross). You can change the sensibility of the signals in the parameters if you wish to have more or less greedy signals
(it will only modify the overvolatility signals). By the way those signals are not working for week-ends because volatility works differently on week-ends and it's not a good idea to count week-ends in the calculations, so do not worry if you see no signals on weekends.
Second part of the indicator is something I called "Atr bands" it's an equivalent to the famous Bollinger-Bands but based on ATR. I haven't backtested them yet but they seems really interesting in low ut
(15 mins seems to be the best ut for those) and they seems pretty bad in high ut so they can maybe be useful for low ut scalping.
Last thing, there is a parameter allowing you to display bands on the week-ends so you can easily see where the indicator won't give signals.
I would be really happy if I could have some feedsback if you try the indicator :)
Have a wonderful day
Critical Levels Mixing Price Action, Volatility and VolumeIntroduction
This indicator has the purpose of setting levels, automatically, basing its creation on three aspects of the market:
- price action
- volume
- volatility
Price Action Algorithm
I divided the candle into 3 parts:
- body => abs (close-open)
- lower tail => red candle (close-low) green candle (open-low)
- upper tail => red candle (high-open) green candle (high-close)
- total => high-low
to give the signal the following conditions must be respected
- the body must be smaller than a certain percentage ("MAX CORE SIZE%) and larger than a certain percentage (" MIN CORE SIZE%);
- furthermore, the shorter tail cannot be higher than a certain percentage ("MAXIMUM LENGTH FOR SHORTE TAIL%");
Volume Algorithm
The volume value must be greater than the volume EMA multiplied by a certain value ("Multiplier")
Volatility Algorithm
the True Range of the candle must be greater than the "ATR percentage" of the ATR
Trigger
If all these three conditions are met then and only then will the level be drawn that will include the prices of the longest tail of the candle (high/open or open/low or high/close or close/low).
How to use
Like any level, the situation in which the price is reached does not imply a market reaction, for this reason, the use together with moving averages or oscillators from which to extrapolate the divergences can be a valid tool.
Using this indicator alone you can enter the market by placing a pending order above the high or low of the candle touching the level.
Example:
a bearish candle touches a low level, we place a pending buy order above the high of the candle
a bullish candle touches a level located high, we place a pending sell order below the low of the candle
Risk adjusted returns data (volatility optimised)RAR - risk adjusted returns. This methodology could be helpful in portfolio creation and position size risk management. We can set our own preference of risk tolerance via the X variable which is the exponent of volatility in our calculations. This gives an unlimited set of example portfolios on a given time-frame that can be sorted from return oriented to volatility reduction oriented as X increases. RARs are to be compared against eachother.
Bricklayer's Volatility MeterBricklayer's Volatility Meter will calculate Bollinger Bands Width up to 20 different lengths between lowest and highest input.
• If it is increasing, the brick will be green.
• If it is decreasing, the brick will be red.
The idea is that if volatility is decreasing across an increasing number of periods, the market will be ready for different strategies than when it is increasing.
Good luck trading!
