Bollinger Band Squeeze with Sound Alerts

Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.11

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.

Momentum BB Lines

This is the conversion of the NinjaTrader 7 "Momentum BB Lines" indicator to MultiCharts.

According to FatTails, the developer of the NinjaTrader indicator:

Quoting

The Momentum BB Lines is an indicator, which is similar to the MACD BB Lines. However, it is not based on the MACD, but on a smoothed, balanced momentum.

The balanced momentum is obtained, when the input value one period ago is replaced with a triangular momentum. This avoids that wide ranging bars which drop out of the momentum calculation have an impact on the momentum line.

The balanced momentum is exponentially smoothed with a selectable smoothing period. The BB Lines are Bollinger Bands, which use the same period for the standard deviation as is used for the balanced momentum before smoothing. The Bollinger Bands are applied to the smoothed momentum.

Different colors can be selected for a rising and falling smoothed momentum and for dots outside and inside the Bollinger Bands.

Since the Momentum BB Lines indicator uses multiple colors, I've chosen to hard code these in the indicator to prevent cluttering of the MultiCharts status line. Changing the code to different colors is quite easy, and here you can find a list of RGB colors to use.

This indicator also includes the Momentum Modified indicator that was included in the original NinjaTrader indicator.

If you like this indicator, please go over to this page and give the original author of this indicator (FatTails) a thanks.

Momentum BB Lines

Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.8

The Momentum BB Lines is an indicator, which is similar to the MACD BB Lines. However, it is not based on the MACD, but on a smoothed, balanced momentum.

The balanced momentum is obtained, when the input value one period ago is replaced with a triangular moving average. This avoids that wide ranging bars which drop out of the momentum calculation have an impact on the momentum line.

The balanced momentum is exponentially smoothed with a selectable smoothing period. The BB Lines are Bollinger Bands, which use the same period for the standard deviation as is used for the balanced momentum before smoothing. The Bollinger Bands are applied to the smoothed momentum.

Different colors can be selected for a rising and falling smoothed momentum and for dots outside and inside the Bollinger Bands.

The indicator has an option to plot paint bars showing whether the smoothed momentum is sloping up or down and whether it is outside or inside the Bollinger Bands.

BB Bandwidth Oscillator Average (Indicator)

Here's an interesting indicator created by James Stanley of DailyFX. The oscillator measures the difference between the upper and lower bollinger bands. A moving average of the same length as the bollinger band is also plotted over the oscillator.

If the oscillator is greater than the moving average, it indicates the trend is accelerating.

If the oscillator is less than the moving average, it indicates the trend is decelerating.

Bollinger Band Width

this is a simple bollinger band width indicator.

when the line is low indicates a sqeeze on the bollinger according to recent band history.

its a nice visual if that's part of your trading system.

in the pic, the bollinger indicator is the bband2 fwiw.

btw can anyone fix the bband2 so that the shaded area between the 2 standard deveation lines will stay the color that you choose even after refreshing the page? that would be really nice.

Bollinger Bands in multiple timeframes

The BB's are based on a 20 SMA and 3x multiples thereof: 20 (green), 60 (blue), 180 (red), 540 (White or Black). They create natural SR levels since they are based on the statistical distance from the SMA.

A BB Cluster is when two or more outer BBs are synchronous... the more the stronger; the higher the TF, the stronger; the longer the chart TF, the stronger.

Good for seeing trend (or not); good for seeing possible SR (support/resistance); good for deciding when to exit (hint... HVS - high volume spike - on a 30 sec chart and price goes outside the bands on whatever TF you are watching... drop all but one and wait for the PB).

MACD BB Lines V2

MACD BB Lines V2:

This is a slight modification to the original MACD BB Lines indicator.

The defaults are the same.

The changes I made were:

Increase the dot size
Swapped the upper band and lower band colors (upper is now blue & lower is red), Removed the white "background" dot that was displaying behind the MACDBBLine dot.

UPDATED APRIL 10, 2010 - ADDED A "MID-LINE" between the upper BBband and lower BBband

This works in NT6.5
