The MACD BB v2.00 CryptoPotato748 is a custom technical analysis indicator for TradingView that combines the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with Bollinger Bands to provide a powerful tool for identifying trend strength and potential trading signals.

Features
MACD Calculation:
The MACD line is calculated using the difference between the 12-period and 26-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
The Signal line is the 9-period EMA of the MACD line.
These parameters automatically adjust based on the selected time frame to optimize performance.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are calculated based on the MACD line to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
The bands consist of a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the MACD line, with upper and lower bands set 2 standard deviations away.
These parameters also adjust based on the selected time frame for better alignment with market conditions.
Adaptive Time Frames:
The indicator automatically adjusts its MACD and Bollinger Bands parameters based on the selected chart time frame, including 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, and 1 month.
This ensures the indicator remains effective across various time frames without manual reconfiguration.
Visual Elements:
The upper and lower Bollinger Bands are plotted in gray, with a blue fill between them for easy visualization.
The MACD line is plotted with circle markers, colored lime when above the upper band and red when below the lower band.
A zero line is plotted in orange for reference.
Bar colors change to yellow when the MACD line is above the upper band (indicating a potential buy signal) and aqua when below the lower band (indicating a potential sell signal).
