HeatbandsWhat you see is the 100 day moving average (blue line in the middle) with percentage bands attached to it.
Each color has a 5% range.
The brightest green color is 20%-25% below the 100 day moving average.
The brightest red color is 20%-25% above the 100 day moving average.
The behaviour of the stock price between the bands could give you trading ideas.
The moving average length is adjustable.
The range between the bands is not adjustable (maybe in future updates).
Enjoy:)

Bollinger Bands Filter
Bollinger Bands is a classic indicator that uses a simple moving average of 20 periods, along with plots of upper and lower bands that are 2 standard deviations away from the basis line. These bands help visualize price volatility and trend based on where the price is, in relation to the bands.
Bollinger Bands filter plots a long signal when price closes above the upper band and plots a short signal when price closes below the lower band. It doesn't take into account any other parameters such as Volume/RSI/ Fundamentals etc, so user must use discretion based on confirmations from another indicator or based on fundamentals.
The filter works great when the price closes above/below upper/lower bands with continuation on next bar. It is definitely useful to have this filter along with other indicators to get early glimpse of breach/fail of bands on candle close during BB squeeze or based on volatility.
This can be used on Heikin Ashi candles for spotting trends, but HA candles are not recommended for trade entries as they don't reflect true price of the asset.
This filter's default is 55 SMA and 1 standard deviation, but these can be changed from settings.
It is definitely worth reading the 22 rules of Bollinger Bands written by John Bollinger.
==================================================================
Note:
1. Alerts can be created for long and short signals using "Once per bar close".
2. The indicator doesn't repaint.

[A618] VWAP bands for any SecurityThe Script plots Standard Deviation Bands around The VWAP line,
This will help you out with detecting market overbought and oversold Conditions on the Fly
Use this in conjunction with an oscillator
- stoch, macd, etc...
- if you find a positive crossover with oscillator on a VWAP level its time to go long, targeting the next vwap level and vice-versa
CDub's BolBands SetupUses a set of Bollinger Bands (user defined deviation, user defined deviation * 2) to determine possible entry set ups.
Signals are triggered when price crosses the first band (closest to the baseline MA) in the desired direction.
baseline can be your take profit 1 target
The inside band determines entry and can be used as a take profit 2 target (Opposite side of baseline)
The outside band is a suggested stop loss target (Same side of baseline) and can be used as a take profit 3 target (Opposite side of baseline)
Suggestions are welcome!

Vortex BandsA slighty modified version of Better Bollinger Bands. The idea of the experiment was to do a thing like the well-known Vortex Indicator, but an overlay:
Obvious trading rules are:
go Long when the blue line is above other two
go Short when the orange line is above other two
stop when price crosses the basis line
The tool is EXPERIMENTAL . Good luck!
Trends & RangesTrends & Ranges uses EMA ATR bands as a SuperTrend indicator.
How to use:
This indicator can be used to give you a direction bias, with the added function to create ranges which often lead to reversals or flat trading periods. Trade the break-out or wait for pull backs in the direction of the trend.
I'm not great at explaining stuff and will probably make things only more complicated, so I won't bother for now,
but if you have a question on how the script works I will gladly give it a try.
The option "Flexible Trends" will disable the min/max function (trailing or non trailing).

VAMA Volume Adjusted Moving Average BandsThis indicator is standard deviation bands using a live analysis adaptation of Richard Arms' Volume Adjusted Moving Average as their basis. VAMA utilizes a period length that is based on volume increments rather than time.
• SampleN - N volume bars used as sample to calculate average volume , 0 equals all bars.
• VAMA Source - Price used for volume weighted calculations.
• VAMA Length - Specified number of volume ratio buckets to be reached.
• VAMA VI Fct - Size of volume ratio buckets.
• VAMA Strict - Must meet desired volume requirements, even if number of bars has to exceed VAMA Length to do it.
• STDV Factor - Standard Deviation multiplier.
• STDV Length - Standard Deviation period.
• Brightness - Color opaqueness for the band fills.
Please see previous published example here for more details on VAMA's usage and inability to redraw the past on time based charts.

Rolling Linear Regression ChannelCompute a rolling linear regression channel, the value of the bands at a precise point in time is equal to the last value of the corresponding extremity of a regression channel of equal length and mult at that point. The bands are made by adding/subtracting the RMSE of a linear regression to a least-squares moving average.
Settings
Length : Period of the indicator
Mult : Multiplication factor for the RMSE, determine the distance between the upper and lower extremities
Src : Input data for the indicator
Gradient : Determine if the area within the bands must be filled with a gradient, a color closer to blue indicates that src is close/superior to the upper band while a color closer to red indicates that src is close/inferior to the lower band. True by default, if false no filling is applied.
Usage
The indicator can be used like any other band indicator. Because the indicator makes use of the LSMA we can expect the bands to be more reactive to price changes, the indicator can also be more accurate when the bands must act as support and resistance as long as the underlying trend in the price is linear.
In blue/red the indicator, with the Bollinger bands in dark green with the same length/mult settings.
Since the indicator is derived from the linear regression channel indicator it can also be used to look at how drastically the regression channels changed over time, that is if the bands look linear, then it implies that the channel didn't change a lot with the arrival of new closing prices.
Details
As said the last value of each band is equal to the last value of the corresponding extremity of a linear regression channel.
In blue/red the indicator, with the linear regression channel in orange with the same length/mult settings, the last circle of the upper band is equal to the last value of the upper regression channel, same thing with the lower band, you can see this more clearly using the replay mode.
Notes
Thx to the twitter fans for their feedback and support, note that I often ask about feedback or about what kind of indicators I should do next on Twitter.
Trend Risk Indicator (TRI)The Trend Risk Indicator is a simple bands indicator made of 2 custom averages of candlesticks ranges calculated within the variable “ BandBars ” period.
Upper and lower channel bands width can be adjusted with the “ Deviation ” variable, which act as a simple factor to enlarge the spread between them.
When Close crosses over the upper band, it is a bearish signal and candlesticks are painted in Red.
When Close crosses under the lower band, it’s a bullish signal and candlesticks are painted in Green.
One of the most interesting indicators for 1 minute scalping. Recommended to use on Renko bars.
*drag to chart and pin to scale, also remove borders from candlesticks.
Periodic EllipsesThe following script periodically plot ellipses to the chart, where the maximum height of the ellipses is determined by the price high of the user-selected time frame while the price low determines the minimum height of the ellipses.
The selected time frame affects the frequency at which the ellipses are plotted, for example, a selected time frame of 1 week will plot an ellipse every week
Note that time frames that are close to the one used in the main chart can return noncircular shapes
Here the main time frame is 15 minutes, while the time frame in the script is 1 hour.
By default the script uses future data, and as such repaint which makes it only useful in offline (non-real time) situations, you can make the script use only past data by deselecting the "repaint" option.
Interpretation And Construction
In terms of usages and interpretation ellipses are similar to bands indicators, as such we can use ellipses in a breakout methodology, where a closing price crossing over the upper bound indicating an uptrend and a closing price crossing under the lower bound indicating a downtrend.
By default, the color of the plots are based on a gradient determined by the position of the closing price relative to the ellipse, with a closing price closer to the upper bound of the ellipse returning a blue color and a closing price closer to the lower bound returning a red color, the intermediate color is violet. When repainting mode is deactivated a blue color indicates an up-trend, while a red color indicates a down-trend, violet colors on the other hand indicate a ranging market.
The ellipses can also determine possible retracements, as such the upper bound of the ellipse can act as a support in an uptrend while the lower bound can act as a resistance in a downtrend.
Construction
Peoples might be interested in the construction of ellipses, this task is not complicated. We can construct circular shapes by using the equation of a semi-circle described as follows:
C = √(1 - x*x)
with 1 ≥ x ≥ -1 , values of x greater than 1 or lower than -1 will return na . In the script, the variable basis creates a line starting at -1 and ending at 1, we then only need to apply the previous equation to this line to have a semi-circle. This semi-circle is in a range of (0,1), so we need to rescale it in a useful range, let's define the highest high of the selected time frame as H and the lowest low as L , the upper and lower bound of the ellipse are calculated as follows:
upper = avg(H,L) + C*(H - avg(H,L))
lower = avg(H,L) - C*(avg(H,L) - L)
Summary
A script plotting ellipses has been proposed, we have seen that the signals that can be generated are similar to the one generated by band indicators, note however that the script has not been made to be a serious indicator, it would be more advisable to use regular band indicators instead.
Thx to @freds_view for the question.
ATR_bandCreates lower and upper band on BTCUSD chart based on ATR value of the previous day and daily open of the current day
High-Low BandsThis is a simple but powerful indicator. It calculates (selectable) moving averages separately from high , low and close .
It can be used as support-resistance, trend or volatility indicator.
Mean Reversion w/ Bollinger BandsThis is a more advanced version of my original mean reversion script.
It employs the famous Bollinger Bands.
This robot will buy when price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, and sell when price moves above the upper Bollinger Band.
I've only tested it on the S&P 500, though you could try it out on other assets to see the backtest performance.
During the recent COVID-19 bear market drop, it produced several buy signals on the S&P which I followed, and made some nice gains so far.
I still think this would make a better investing strategy (buy undervalued / sell over-valued), rather than a trading strategy.
I use this robot for my long term portfolio.

Changing the Bollinger Band's midline from SMA to EMA is not so good in terms of the standard deviation calculation formula, and it was hard to say that EMABB is an index that can be used by the author in different calculation formulas.
This time, when I came up with the deviation, I came up with a method of weighting the latest deviation like EMA instead of the average and neglecting past deviations, so I made it.
The variation in the calculation result seems to be difficult to handle, so the finished product is the one with smoothed EMA deviation.
ボリンジャーバンドの中線をSMAからEMA変更にするのは標準偏差の計算式上いまいちで、EMABBは作者によって計算式もばらばらで使える指標とは言い難かった。
今回、偏差から求めるときに平均ではなくてEMAのように最新の偏差を重くし過去の偏差を軽視する方法を考え付きましたので、作ってみました。
単純に計算結果のばらつきが大きく扱いづらそうなので、EMA偏差をスムージングしたものを完成品としました。
BTC Mayer Multiple BandsIntroduced by Trace Mayer as a way to gauge the current price of Bitcoin against its long range historical price movements (200 day moving average), the Mayer Multiple highlights when Bitcoin is overbought or oversold in the context of longer time frames.
It's worth noting that as the market becomes larger and less volatile, the peaks are becoming less exaggerated. This is because a 200 day moving average baseline is a static yardstick against an ever growing, more stable, Bitcoin market. We should recalibrate what constitutes the overbought/oversold extremes on this chart accordingly.

Underworld Hunter + Base ZoneUnderworld Hunter + Base Zone is designed to keep traders out of ranging markets by establishing a "dead zone" between the bands where price may be choppy or trends may be short lived. The original Underworld Hunter from @greenmask9 adapted Bollinger Bands by changing the basis from SMA to the EMA of the EMA of the EMA. This version now allows the user to select which moving average they would like to utilize for the calculation.
If price is outside of the upper bands, price may be bullish. If price is outside the lower bands, price may be bearish.
If price is within the green or red areas of the bands, a trend may be forming.
The system also plots when RSI has become over extended above the thresholds selected (70/20 is the default).
MA Period is the length/period the moving average is calculated with
MA Mode is the type of moving average that will be utilized in the basis calculation
The "Standard MA Calculation" Option changes the basis to calculate the moving average selected in MA Mode only once, instead of 3 times
Deviation 1 and Deviation 2 determine how far the dead zone bands will be from the basis
RSI Period is the length/period the RSI function is calculated with
RSI Extended - High Cutoff is the level RSI must reach to be marked as over extended. Most traders refer to this zone as "Overbought"
RSI Extended - Low Cutoff is the level RSI must reach to be marked as over extended. Most traders refer to this zone as "Oversold"
As many NNFx traders know, overbought and oversold essentially do not exist, though the zones can still be utilized
The remaining options are utilized for specific moving average calculations and are set to what is typically considered as "standard" for their values.
There are many options available for this code. The code has not been optimized but merely compiled. Settings should be adjusted for the instrument(s) you are trading.

[e2] Bitcoin Halving Key & AvwapThis indicator shows a Key Level Support & Resistance level and VWAP that reset on your choice of the Bitcoin's halving date.
Optional Key Calculation Mode:
- Start with first (2012) or second (2016) halving date.
- Start with first and reset on the second (Halving to halving mode)
- Start with every next halving simultaneously (Halving + halving mode)
Labels show the Market Capitalization, total minted Bitcoins and Bitcoin's close price on the halving's date.
A maximum of 5 bands calculated using a factor of the anchored VWAP's standard deviation can be displayed.
Note
- The script is designed for Bitcoin markets only.
- Estimated 3rd halving, script will be updated when next halving occurs.
Bitcoin Margin Call Envelopes [saraphig & alexgrover]Bitcoin is the most well known digital currency, and allow two parties to make a transaction without the need of a central entity, this is why cryptocurrencies are said to be decentralized, there is no central unit in the transaction network, this can be achieved thanks to cryptography. Bitcoin is also the most traded cryptocurrency and has the largest market capitalization, this make it one of the most liquid cryptocurrency.
There has been tons of academic research studying the profitability of Bitcoin as well as its role as a safe heaven asset, with all giving mixed conclusions, some says that Bitcoin is to risky to be considered as an hedging instrument while others highlight similarities between Bitcoin and gold thus showing evidence on the usefulness of Bitcoin acting as an hedging instrument. Yet Bitcoin seems to attract more short term speculative investors rather than other ones that would use Bitcoin as an hedging instrument.
Once introduced, cryptocurrencies where of course heavily analyzed by technical analyst, and technical indicators where used by retail as well as institutional investors in order to forecast the future trends of bitcoin. I never really liked the idea of designing indicators that specifically worked for only one type of market and ever less on only one symbol. Yet the user @saraphig posted in Feb 20 an indicator called " Margin Call MovingAverage " who calculate liquidation price by using a volume weighted moving average. It took my attention and we decided to work together on a relatively more complete version that would include resistances levels.
I believe the proposed indicator might result useful to some users, the code also show a way to restrict the use of an indicator to only one symbol (line 9 to 16).
The Indicator
The indicator only work on BTCUSD, if you use another symbol you should see the following message:
The indicator plot 6 extremities, with 3 upper (resistance) extremities and 3 lower (support) extremities, each one based on the isolated margin mode liquidation price formula:
UPlp = MA/Leverage × (Leverage+1-(Leverage*0.005))
for upper extremities and:
DNlp = MA × Leverage/(Leverage+1-(Leverage*0.005))
for lower extremities.
Length control the period of the moving averages, with higher values of length increasing the probability of the price crossing an extremity. The Leverage's settings control how far away their associated extremities are from the price, with lower values of Leverage making the extremity farther away from the price, Leverage 3 control Up3 and Dn3, Leverage 2 control Up2 and Dn2, Leverage 1 control Up1 and Dn1, @saraphig recommend values for Leverage of either : 25, 20, 15, 10 ,5.
You can select 3 different types of moving average, the default moving average is the volume weighted moving average (VWMA), you can also choose a simple moving average (SMA) and the Kaufman adaptive moving average (KAMA).
Based on my understanding (which could be wrong) the original indicator aim to highlight points where margin calls might have occurred, hence the name of the indicator.
If you want a more "DSP" like description then i would say that each extremity represent a low-pass filter with a passband greater than 1 for upper extremities and lower than 1 for lower extremities, unlike bands indicators made by adding/subtracting a volatility indicator from another moving average this allow to conserve the original shape of the moving average, the downside of it being the inability to show properly on different scales.
here length = 200, on a 1h tf, each extremities are able to detect short-terms tops and bottoms. The extremity become wider when using lower time-frames.
You would then need to increase the Leverages settings, i recommend a time frame of 1h.
Conclusion
I'am not comfortable enough to make a conclusion, as i don't know the indicator that well, however i liked the original indicator posted by @saraphig and was curious about the idea behind it, studying the effect of margin calls on market liquidity as well as making indicators based on it might result a source of inspiration for other traders.
A big thanks to @saraphig who shared a lot of information about the original indicator and allowed me to post this one. I don't exclude working with him/her in the future, i invite you to follow him/her:

Zero Lag Keltner ChannelsThis is Keltner Channelz (KC) with Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA as base). It is smoother and has less lag than the original (EMA/SMA) variant.
It also can be used as a trend indicator and trend confirmation indicator. The upper and lower bands are green if it is an up trend, and red if a down trend. If both have the same color it is a stronger trend.
