Keltner Channel Width Oscillator (KingThies)Definition
The Keltner Channel Width oscillator is a technical analysis indicator derived originally from the same relationship the Bollinger Band Width indicator takes on Bollinger Bands.
Similar to the Bollinger Bands, Kelts measure volatility in relation to price, and factor in various range calculations to create three bands around the price of a given stock or digital asset. The Middle Line is typically a 20 Day Exponential Moving Average while the upper and lower bands highlight price at different range variations around its basis. Keltner Channel Width serve as a way to quantitatively measure the width between the Upper and Lower Bands and identify opportunities for entires and exits, based on the relative range price is experiencing that day.
Calculation
Kelt Channel Width = (Upper Band - Lower Band) / Middle Band
More on Keltner Channels
Keltner channel was first described by a Chicago grain trader called Chester W. Keltner in his 1960 book How to Make Money in Commodities. Though Keltner claimed no ownership of the original idea and simply called it the ten-day moving average trading rule, his name was applied by those who heard of this concept through his books.
Similarly to the Bollinger Bands, Keltner channel is a technical analysis tool based on three parallel lines. In fact, the Keltner indicator consists of a central moving average in addition to channel lines spread above and below it. The central line represents a 10-day simple moving average of what Chester W. Keltner called typical price. The typical price is defined as the average of the high, low and close. The distance between the central line and the upper, or lower line, is equivalent to the simple moving average of the preceding 10 days' trading ranges.
One way to interpret the Keltner Channel would be to consider the price breakouts outside of the channel. A trader would track price movement and consider any close above the upper line as a strong buy signal. Equivalently, any close below the lower line would be considered a strong sell signal. The trader would follow the trend emphasized by the indicator while complementing his analysis with the use of other indicators as well. However, the breakout method only works well when the market moves from a range-bound setting to an established trend. In a trend-less configuration, the Keltner Channel is better used as an overbought/oversold indicator. Thus, as the price breaks out below the lower band, a trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price behavior as an oversold situation indicating a potential buy signal. Similarly, as the price breaks out above the upper band, the trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price action as an overbought situation indicating a potential sell signal. By waiting for the price to close within the Channel, the trader avoids getting caught in a real upside or downside breakout.

Bollinger Bands + Keltner Channel Refurbished█ Goals
This is an indicator that brings together Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels in one thing.
Both are very similar, so I decided to make a merge of the best features I found out there.
Here there is the possibility of choosing one of these two as needed.
In addition, I added the following resources:
1. Pre-Defined intermediate bands with Fibonacci values;
2. Detachment of the bands in which the price was present;
3. Choice of Moving Average:
"Simple", "Exponential", "Regularized Exponential", "Hull", "Arnaud Legoux", "Weighted Moving Average", "Least Squares Moving Average (Linear Regression)", "Volume Weighted Moving Average", "Smoothed Moving Average", "Median", "VWAP");
4. Statistics: bars count within the bands.
█ Concepts
Keltner Channels vs. Bollinger Bands
"These two indicators are quite similar.
Keltner Channels use ATR to calculate the upper and lower bands while Bollinger Bands use standard deviation instead.
The interpretation of the indicators is similar, although since the calculations are different the two indicators may provide slightly different information or trade signals."
(Investopedia)
Bollinger Bands (BB)
"Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s.
Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices.
The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price.
Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the SMA (The Middle Line); however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted by the trader."
(TradingView)
Keltner Channels (KC)
"The Keltner Channels (KC) indicator is a banded indicator similar to Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Envelopes.
They consist of an Upper Envelope above a Middle Line as well as a Lower Envelope below the Middle Line.
The Middle Line is a moving average of price over a user-defined time period.
Either a simple moving average or an exponential moving average are typically used. The Upper and Lower Envelopes (user defined) are set a range away from the Middle Line.
This can be a multiple of the daily high/low range, or more commonly a multiple of the Average True Range."

Bollinger Band Width Percentile - Multi Time FrameMy plan with this indicator was when trading at short timeframes, to modify my expectations on the potential impact of short term volatility based on volatility in longer timeframes, and when trading on longer timeframes to attempt to find an optimal entry point based on shorter term volatility.
The BBWP is calculated for a short, medium and long timeframe, alerts are triggered at extremities with the ability to filter by moving averages and chart movement. The alerts also trigger a plot to the "Backtest Signal" which can be used to trigger trades in a backtester.
Please see the discussions of how I'm using this indicator in the comments below.
Thanks to The_Caretaker for "Bollinger Band Width Percentile" upon which this multi time frame version is based.
OBV Overbuy+sell Oscillator[RSU]On-balance volume (OBV) is a technical trading momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price. Joseph Granville first developed the OBV metric in the 1963 book Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits.
This indicator is based on the OBV indicator and adds 2 times the standard deviation Bollinger Band to evaluate the overbought and oversold phenomenon of the OBV indicator.
The characteristics of Bollinger Bands: According to the normal distribution phenomenon, only 5% of the cases will exceed 2 times the standard deviation of the Bollinger Bands . So when it exceeds, I use colors to mark red overbought and green oversold situations.
Usage:
1.Identify trends: Identify current stock trends by OBV's 30 average line color.
2.Breakthrough:OBV Breakthrough 30 average,signal trend may reversal.
3.Oversell and overbuy:A break below overbuy could signal a temporary end to the uptrend.
4.Divergence:When the slope of the two highs is opposite to the slope of the two highs of the indicator, a trend reversal signal may occur.
Simple Bollinger Band Width PercentileI'm a big fan of The_Caretaker's BBWP and wanted to add it as a volatility indicator to some of my scripts, but since it is over 100 lines of code (plus spacing and comments) I wanted to find if there was a simpler way to get comparable results. SBBWP uses Pine 5 built in functions that I don't believe were available when The_Caretaker wrote BBPW. The main limitations compared to The_Caretaker's version is that it can only use SMA as its Basis Type and the colors are also not as pretty. I have not included alerts or scale lines since I'm not trying to replace BBWP, just give a simple example that you can easily build in to your scripts.
Full credit and respect to The_Caretaker!

Z-Score DeltaHeavily modified from Z Score by jwammo12
Compares the z-score of two assets, the onscreen one and the reference one configured. If you're familiar, you can think of it as Bollinger Band Percent of Onscreen Asset minus the Bollinger Band Percent of Reference Asset.
It's compared off a simple moving average, due to how standard deviation is calculated.
I view this a more literal meaning of relative strength.
Has the ability to offset or delay in time one to another.
TODO: add MAD and MAD/STD.DEV views
Not my greatest work, but it's functional.
BB-RSI-ADX Entry PointsThis is a combination of indicators used to find oversold and overbought entry points for possible reversion.
A Green arrow will appear when all condition are met for an ENTER LONG position.
A Red arow will appear when all condition are met for an ENTER SHORT position.
You can modify all of these condition parameters from the indicator's settings.
How does the indicator work
The signals are using Bollinger Bands , BB %B , RSI and ADX indicators to try and find points of reversal
Enter LONG Conditions
Current candle low is below BB lower band.
The BB %B is more than 0.
RSI > 30
ADX > 25
Enter SHORT Conditions
Current candle high is above BB upper band.
The BB %B is less than 1.
RSI < 70
ADX > 25
Those are the default settings that seem to work for me but you can customize all of these from the indicator settings.
I find this strategy to best work on a 3 minute timeframe
Note: The bb %B is calculated for stDev - 1. This will help you see a change happening faster.
Is the Bollinger Bands assumption wrong?Bollinger Bands are the result of the assumption that closing prices will follow a normal distribution.
However, when I actually calculated the probability, the closing price does not follow a normal distribution.
According to the normal distribution, the probability that Z > 2 should be 2.2%, but on the chart, the probability is 6~9%.
Can we get a useful value for Bollinger Bands that we can use in our strategy?
We can measure volatility, but can we judge volatility based on a fixed value?
To the right of each Bollinger band value, the probability that the price is above the band is displayed.
The script is simply annotated with how each probability is calculated.

Double Basics - Identify Overbought & Oversold - MultitimeframeI believe that everyone should monitor the basic indicators; EMA/SMA cross, BB and RSI on at least TWO timeframes before making any trading decisions. And because that is only possible on paid subscriptions, I created this indicator for people just getting started.
It allows you to plot all of the mentioned AND 2 weeklies of your choice on 1 chart INCLUDING a higher timeframe, using only 1 indicator.
The EMA's are plotted as ORANGE and the SMA's as BLACK, you can distinguish them by the line size, thin is current chart, thick is higher timeframe.
Same for the Bollinger Bands, Upper lines are red (overbought = sell signal) and bottom lines are green (oversold = buy signal)
The RSI, normally plotted in its own window, are plotted on the scale of the BB of the 2nd timeframe, where the bottom line = 0, upper line = 100 and middle (think black) line = 50. The thin purple line is the RSI of the chart resolution, the thicker purple line is the RSI of the 2nd timeframe.
Finally, the two weeklies are plotted as thick black lines.
Enjoy, and let me know your feedback!
SuperJump Turn Back Bollinger BandThis is a simple indicator using bolinger band return.
After the candle's bolinger band broke out,
Turn back inside BB is the entry point.
Usually there are more than two triangles, so you can wait after ordering a better price.
As you already know about it, it is very dangerous for the bolinger band to enter in the reverse direction when a strong trend is created.
That's why I made the Red Line. It is calculated by ATR and will suggest you an appropriate StopLoss value.
Volume + VolatilityBefore I begin I want to mention:
1. This is a variation of the 'CCI & BB' made by matsu_bitmex (Link: ) and SigmaDraconis's 'On Balance Volume Oscillator + Bollinger Bands' (Link: )
2. While using this sometimes you may not notice the crossover so I've added the Line 'x' outside 'x' BB to only see if Line 3 and 4 crossed over
The indicator:
1. When the background is green and the 2 lines are going up it means uptrend
2. When the background is red and the 2 lines are going down it means downtrend
3. When there is a crossover and the background outside BB turns yellow, it means there is a lot of volatility or volume
How to use (Or how I use this):
1. All trades based on the yellow color MUST be during a trend
2. When the color changes to yellow for the 1st time in the direction of a trend it is advisable to enter
VIX Cheat SheetHello!
This indicator - "VIX Cheat Sheet" - performs several calculations for $VIX against the asset on your chart. However, using $VIX as a risk proxy or volatility metric often fails beyond large-cap U.S equities. To remedy this, the VixFix indicator is included in the script; you can select whether the script performs calculations for an asset against $VIX or against VixFix (i.e. Forex, Crypto)
Measured are: $VIX correlation to an asset's price fluctuations, the average close-to-close gain/loss subsequent a $VIX/VixFix close above the upper Bollinger Band, the average 5-session gain/loss following the same occurrence in addition to the average 10-session gain/loss, all close-to-close, 5 session, and 10-session gains/losses are stored as tooltips for labels on the chart. The current close-to-close percentage gain/loss for $VIX and VixFix are displayed on the chart.
Displayed in the example image is a box incorporating $VIX price data alongside an upper Bollinger Band and lower Bollinger Band. The data isn't cast to its own price scale but is helpful for quick interpretation of $VIX fluctuations. You can select to plot VixFix data in the box in the user inputs table.
Displayed in the second example image is a semi-transparent blue box encompassing all price moves that occurred when $VIX measured above $40 for at least ten consecutive sessions. The largest percentage close-to-close loss is displayed below the box.
Also illustrated is a red label that appears when $VIX or VixFix closes above the upper Bollinger Band. The indicator will calculate and display the performance of the asset for the subsequent 10 sessions, to which the red label will disappear and all data stored as a tooltip in the blue labels stating "VIX Closed Above Upper Band" or "VixFix Closed Above Upper Band".
To reduce chart clutter, a label and line combination marking all $VIX closes above the upper Bollinger Band was not included. Instead, bar color changes were added. When "$VIX" is selected in the user inputs table the indicator will mark all sessions in which $VIX closed above the upper band as blue, in addition to plotting $VIX price data in the dynamic black box. When "VixFix" is selected, the indicator will mark all sessions where VixFix closed above the upper band as purple; the VixFix indicator will be plotted in the black box.
Be sure to hover over labels to access tooltip information; try the indicator with bar replay!

Reversal Indicator
█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows bullish and bearish reversal signal candles. It finds the candles with extreme volatility and marks the candles with high probability for a reversal of the trend.
█ CONCEPT
This indicator uses the Bollinger Bands to mark the candles with high selling/buying pressure. Bollinger Bands consist of three bands total: an upper band, middle band, and lower band. These separate bands are each used to highlight extreme prices in a specific security. The upper band is associated with overbought, whereas the lower band points to oversold, and the middle band acts as a moving average.
It is common after a lower band has been broken by heavy selling for the price of the asset to revert back above the point of the lower band and move closer to the middle band. The indicator marks this occurrence as a bullish reversal candle. Same applies vice versa. If the upper band is broken by heavy buying, it is natural for the price to revert back and move closer to the middle level. This indicator marks this as a bearish reversal candle.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Reversal Candles - Sky blue colored "R" indicates bullish reversal candle and yellow colored "R" indicates bearish reversal candle.
Checkmarks - Checkmarks provide a confirmation that the reversal has already begun with the candle next to the signal candle. Always wait for confirmation before considering it as a reversal of the trend.
RSI confluence - Enabling this check box in settings will show the reversal signal only when the RSI is overbought/oversold
█ LIMITATION
As like in any indicator, this indicator needs to be used with the assistance of other indicators to make conceptual and strategic trading decisions.
Flat Detect By Bollinger BandsThis simple script indicate the potential flat market zones, calculated based on the Bollinger Bands width.
It's showing the Bollinger Bands in red when the market is detected as flat.
You can adjust the Width Threshold with precision on the inputs settings.

Coin Bureau BB/EMA/RSI IndicatorThis indicator was inspired by Coin Bureau's How To Spot The Crypto Top video. In the video, Coin Bureau uses Bollinger bands, 7-period EMA and RSI to look for early signs of a top, thus presenting an opportunity to sell.
Using the basic principles found in the video, I've made a tentative indicator as a way to visualise all 3 indicators at once. Alerts will only fire when all 3 criteria are met:
Price closes outside 20-period Bollinger bands
Price closes ~2sd away from 7-period EMA
RSI is overbought or oversold
The indicator will also update in real-time and show when 1, 2 or all 3 conditions are satisfied. Additionally, there is built-in functionality to toggle historical/current alerts and users can set their own bounds for what constitutes a buy or sell alert.
This is just a personal project purely for edutainment purposes and should not be used to make financial decisions. This project is not affiliated with Coin Bureau.
Some caveats:
Using only 7 periods to calculate the standard deviation of price data will not lead to a statistically significant result, thus this figure may have no right being in the script. However, this was more to trial some techniques and to get acquainted with the pine scripting language.
As you can see, there are a lot of false positives. There are moments when the indicator flashes a sell alert only for the price to keep on rising. This is due to the specificity/sensitivity trade-off. The indicator has been tuned to give the optimal sensitivity (the more critical component). These are the best results I could find for this asset in this time frame.
MA Bollinger Bands + RSI (Study)This study/indicator script is meant to allow users to set alerts based on my MA Bollinger Bands + RSI (Strategy).
Both Study and Strategy scripts reflect the exact same user inputs, parameters and trading signals.
6 different alerts available:
- MABB+RSI Long (or Short) Signal (all): activates for every single Long (or Short) signals
- MABB+RSI Long (or Short) Signal: activates when trade direction changes from Short to Long (or from Long to Short)
- MABB+RSI Long (or Short) Re-Entry Signal: after a stop loss was hit, activates upon same trade direction if new signal
(“Enable SL” & “Allow re-entry” must be switched on)
Chart legend:
- Red arrow = Short Signal
- Blue arrow = Long Signal
- Red square = Stop loss (when trade entry)
- Purple square = Stop loss (when hit)
NB1: Be sure to set both Study and Strategy script settings to the same values if you want to achieve similar results in both scripts.
NB2: When setting up your alerts, preferably use option “Once per bar close” to get proper confirmations.
Enjoy!
