This is a generalized version of the Bollinger Bands with a few options added:
- The midband can be selected from a moving median, a moving mode or 27 different moving averages.
- Midband and channels can be smoothed.
- The period for the standard deviation can be different from the period for the moving average.
- The indicator has an option to display the channels or the midband individually.
- All plots can be colored according to their slope, or alternatively all plots can be colored according to the slope of the midband.
- The slope color includes a neutral slope, which can be adjusted via a threshold.
- The area between the Bollinger Bands can be shaded according to the shape of the midband.
- The trend derived from the midband slope can be displayed via paint bars.
Update July 3 2012: Midband can now be selected from a moving median, a moving mode or 27 different moving averages. Adjustable neutral zone added. Bands can be colored according to their own slope or slope of midband, midband and channels can be displayed individually.
Update July 5, 2012: Bug removed - Butterworth, Gauss and Supersmoother Fillter did not use the specified period.
Update August 20, 2012: Old version of ADXVMA replaced with new version.
Update August 31, 2012: Ehlers Filter updated.
Update October 4, 2012: Paintbars added. Ehlers and Gauss filters updated, moving mode removed. Channel and paintbar colors will now align, when indicator is displaced.
Update October 5, 2013: Tillson T3 added.
Update October 10, 2014: When paintbars were selected without showing the midband, occasionally some bars were set to transparent. Bug removed.
Update March 19, 2015: Slope trend exposed via public IntSeries.
The Traders Dynamic Index is a trend following momentum indicator based on the RSI. It was developed and presented by Dean Malone. The Traders Dynamic Index comes with the following ingredients
- the Priceline, which is a SMA(2) of RSI(13)
- the Signalline, which is a SMA(7) of RSI (13)
- the Midband, which is a SMA(34) of RSI (13)
- BollingerBands around the SMA(34) using 1.62 StdDev
Combine some of the following rules to trade:
- go long, if Priceline > 50
- go short if Priceline < 50
- consider an exit, if Priceline is above 68 or below 32
- go long if Priceline > Signalline
- go short if Priceline < Signalline
- exit if Priceline crosses Signalline
- trendfilter long, when Priceline > Midband
- trendfilter short, when Priceline < Midband
- add to long, when Priceline > BollingerBand.Upper
- add to short, when Priceline < BollingerBand.Lower
Detailed rules how to use the Traders Dynamic Index have been published by Dean Malone within the framework of the E.A.S.Y. trading method.
Update March 22, 2014: Overbought and oversold lines added.
Cleaned up the region color logic per request of the original author.
Added logic to improve performance when COBC=False.

Revision History:
1/10/2014 - First revision of original indicator as described above.
11/18/2014 - Second revision: fixes two code bugs in the parameter list (Zone Color and Opacity) settings can now be changed and saved. Also, optimized the instantiation code for two math function calls (SMA and StdDev).
This is a simple Bollinger Band Squeeze. The Bollinger Band Squeeze compares directional volatility as measured by the standard deviation to non-directional volatility as measured by the average range.
The squeeze is a situation, where Bollinger Bands are inside a Keltner Channel. This indicator does not plot the Bollinger Bands and the Keltner Channels, but plots the distance of the Bollinger Band from the Keltner Channel and displays it as a histogram.
When the histogram has a positive value: This means that the Bollinger Bands are outside the Keltner Channel. Directional volatility is high or normal.
When the histogram has a negative value: This shows low directional volatility, which is called "the squeeze". For better visibility, the squeeze is reinforced with dots. When activated, sound alerts will inform you that the squeeze is on.
A squeeze is a good opportunity to enter a position, as it reflects a temporary period of balancing or indecision. To determine the direction of the expected breakout from the squeeze, other indicators should be used. In his book "Mastering the Trade", John F. Carter suggests a momentum indicator do determine the direction of the trade, but I do not think that this is sufficient to create a profitable system. You will need further indicators.
If you enter a trade during a squeeze, this usually leads to a good reward-to-risk ratio, as you will typically be able to use narrower stops during low volatility periods.
