The Trending Band Indicator

2021년 6월 4일

This indicator shows the trend of the market. The middle line is the 200-day moving average because it shows the long term trend of the market. However, since the market does give fake signals of going up and down through the 200-day moving average, I had to put a band on it to push through the fake signals. The first band around the middle line is 1 standard deviation of historical volatility which gives an area of cushion to prevent fake signals. The goal is if the stock is above the first top band, then the stock is in an uptrend. If the stock is below the first bottom band, then the stock is in a downtrend. If it is the middle of the first bands, then the stock is known to be rangebound.

The top most and bottom most yellow lines are 4 standard deviations of historical volatility which give an idea of where the floor and ceiling are. This helps investors and traders identify good buy and sell zones using the yellow lines to see overbought and oversold sides.

This is a great indicator for people who need help following the trend of a stock, etf , etc.
