Averaged Moving Average Ribbon with Bollinger Bands

2023년 11월 8일

This indicator provides a visual representation of an averaged weighted moving average (WMA) ribbon (default setting) along with Bollinger Bands on a price chart. Pay attention to how the moving average and band expand and contract, as well as where price crosses the Bollinger bands (Green and red) or the basis line (blue). Look for patterns, and exploit them to your advantage to give you another edge in trading.

Here's a brief explanation of how this indicator works:

1. **Moving Average Type:** You can select the type of moving average (MA) to use from the dropdown menu. The available options are Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

2. **Bollinger Bands Deviation:** This input allows you to adjust the deviation for the Bollinger Bands. Higher values increase the width of the bands, while lower values decrease it.

3. **Moving Average Lengths:** The script calculates various moving averages (WMA, SMA, or EMA) with different lengths, ranging from 5 to 100, in increments of 5. These moving averages are used to create the ribbon.

4. **Ribbon Calculation:** The indicator calculates the selected moving average (WMA, SMA, or EMA) for each of the specified lengths. It then averages these moving averages to create a ribbon of MAs. This ribbon represents a smoother and more encompassing view of the underlying price action.

5. **Bollinger Bands:** The script also calculates and plots Bollinger Bands based on the ribbon's average. The upper Bollinger Band (green) and lower Bollinger Band (red) are plotted around the ribbon average. These bands provide insights into potential overbought and oversold conditions.

In summary, this indicator allows traders and analysts to visualize a weighted moving average ribbon with Bollinger Bands to gain a better understanding of price trends, volatility, and potential reversal points in the market. The combination of different moving average lengths and Bollinger Bands can help in making informed trading decisions.
