Squeeze Momentum [Plus]The "Momentum" in this indicator is smoothed out using linear regression. The Momentum is what is displayed on the indicator as a histogram, its purpose is obvious (to show momentum).
What is a Squeeze? A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands tighten up enough to slip inside of Keltner Channels .
This is interpreted as price is compressing and building up energy before releasing it and making a big move.
Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC.
In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages.
The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three.
The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings.
The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator.
And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression.
Now to explain the parameters:
Squeeze Input - This is just the source for the Squeeze to use, default value is closing price.
Length - This is the length of time used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels .
Bollinger Bands Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Bollinger Bands .
Keltner Channel Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Keltner Channel.
Color Format - you to choose one of 5 different color schemes.
Draw Divergence - Self explanatory here, this will auto-draw divergence on the indicator.
Gray Background for Dark Mode - to make them more visually appealing.
Added ADX (Average Directional Index) that measure a trend’s strength. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The ADX line is white when it has a positive slope, otherwise it is gray. When the ADX has a very large dispersion with respect to the momentum histogram, increase the scale number.
Added "H (Hull Moving Average) Signal". Hull is a extremely responsive and smooth moving average created by Alan Hull in 2005. Have option to chose between 3 Hull variations.
Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets.
The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility, and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up.

The AE green triangles are "Aggressive Filtered Entries"
Squeeze
(JS) BallistaAlright so this is a script I made by combining two existing ones and making a really cool discovery that has proven very useful.
You'll notice that there are two separate oscillators that are laid on top of each other. The background oscillator is my "Tip-and-Dip" oscillator which you can see here (will refer to this as TnD from here), and the foreground oscillator from the Squeeze , which can be viewed here .
Initially I just wanted to see how they interacted with one another and compare them, but this led to some pretty interesting observations.
First let me go through the options real quick to get that out of the way, though it is mostly self-explanatory.
Lookback Period defines the amount of bars used for the TnD oscillator.
Smoothing Value smooths out the TnD output.
Standard Deviations is used to calculate the TnD formula.
Color Scheme is preset BG colors.
Using Dark Mode changes colors based on dark mode or not.
Squeeze Momentum On turns the Squeeze in the foreground off and on.
Arrows Off turns the arrows on the indicator off and on.
Now to explain the indicator a bit more. I have the default lookback period as 40 due to the Squeeze being 20, which makes the TnD oscillator the "slow" output with the Squeeze being the "fast" output.
Some initial observations were that when both the Squeeze and the TnD are moving in the direction, when the Squeeze is higher (uptrend) or lower (downtrend) it seems to indicate strength in the move. As the move loses steam you'll notice the Squeeze diverge from the TnD.
However, the most useful thing I discovered about the interaction between these two indicators is where the name for it came from. So if you aren't familiar with what a Ballista is, per Wikipedia, "The ballista... sometimes called bolt thrower, was an ancient missile weapon that launched either bolts or stones at a distant target." There are instances where the Squeeze seems to get ahead of itself and gets too far away from the TnD (which is the long term trend between the two). The key thing to look for is an "inverted squeeze" - this is when the squeeze oscillator ends up flipping against the TnD. When this occurs there is an extremely high probability that you'll see price shoot back the opposite way of the Squeeze.
I've been using this setup myself for about a year now and have been very satisfied with the results thusfar. I circled some examples on the SPX daily chart here to show you what I mean with the inverted Squeeze shooting back.
(JS) Triple StochasticSo I ended up adding a ton of stuff to my prior Double Stochastic script which you can see here .
The concept of the Double was to smooth out the existing Stochastic by applying a Stochastic to the existing Stochastic (hence the Double). My concept for the Triple Stochastic is much different. It combines a regular stochastic, stochastic RSI, and the double stochastic to get a smoothed output based on all 3.
Also - since I love being able to see a Squeeze (see my Squeeze Pro indicators - Squeeze Pro 2 & Squeeze Pro Overlays ) I added the Squeeze to the Stochastic (the dots). If you're unfamiliar with how a Squeeze works, or what it is, check out my links for explanation. A quick explanation however is that the Squeeze is an indicator that was invented by John Carter that detects price compression before a big move out of a range. This is done by using Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, the BB shrink inside the KC. The color of the dots represent the depth of the BB in the KC, white (or black) being the lightest squeeze, red being the standard squeeze, and yellow being the strongest squeeze. Now on to the indicator:
The first thing you'll notice is the options available for the type of Stochastic you'd like to use:
Standard : This is a regular Stochastic
Stochastic RSI : This is the standard Stochastic RSI
Double : This is the Stochastic on top of a Stochastic from the prior version
Triple : This is simply an average of all 3 of the above combined together
(Top indicator shows the Triple Stochastic)
The options "K", "D", and "Smooth" are the settings from a regular Stochastic used to set up the type of Stochastic you choose to use.
Now let's say you're not sure how one type performs compared to another, or you like the quickest momentum change but also like to see the smoothest trend, or you want to use the same types of Stochastic and watch for them to cross like moving averages - for these reasons I added the ability to add a second Stochastic for comparison.
(2nd indicator shows a fast and slow Triple Stochastic together)
Quite obviously, the "K 2", "D 2", and "Smooth 2" are what is used in order to set the parameters for the second Stochastic.
Now another thing I added was the option to replace the regular Stochastic and instead look at the distance between the K and D. By turning off "Use K% and D%" you get to see this in action. To put it simply, a cross above zero would indicate a positive Stochastic crossover, and a cross below zero would represent the opposite. There's also an option titled "SMA Length using Difference" which, to smooth this out a bit, allows you to apply a moving average to the distance. By setting it at 1 you'd see the actual distance between K and D.
(3rd indicator shows the K and D distance used as a plot)
Another thing I wanted to do was add a different type of background that wasn't based on the indicator itself. I decided to use ADX & DMI which is a great way to determine the trend. When you select "ADX/DMI BG" the BG colors will change from being based on the indicator to being based on ADX and DMI.
(The 3rd indicator also shows the ADX/DMI BG being used).
And now finally the last feature I decided to add takes us back to the Squeeze. Essentially it is just the Stochastic shown through the lens of Squeeze momentum, as I ended up plugging the Stochastic output into the Squeeze momentum formula to create an oscillator. By selecting "Use Oscillator" you will see this in action as well.
(Bottom indicator shows the oscillator addition)
Matrix Series and Vix Fix with VWAP CCI and QQE SignalsBased on @ChrisMoody Williams_VIX_Fix and @glaz Matrix Series .
This indicator identify potential zone of reversal according to momentum and volatility.
Includes VWAP CCI and QQE Signals.
Price Action IndexI've created a simple oscillator which I think does a good job of easily showing you when price is worth watching or not. I think all too often you get stuck looking at something like an RSI and end up trading noise.
From my observations and experiences, I've found that there are 2 major catalysts for price movement--
Price is either trending and reaches a top or bottom, or
Price is consolidating and ready to make a move in some direction
These movements can be seen quite well from a Bollinger Band, which is what mostly gave me the inspiration. When I watch a chart with a BB on it I see that either you're looking to trade price moving out of a squeeze or riding price up/down the band until it crosses over and makes a move to the moving average.
My solution was to multiply the direction of price by the strength of its deviation.
Price gets converted into a signal between -1.0 (bottom of the range) and 1.0 (top of the range)
Standard Deviation gets converted into a stochastic signal between 0 (next to no deviation from mean) and 100 (highest deviation in lookback)
These 2 get multiplied by each other
The result tells you if price action is trending bullish and if its approaching max strength (perhaps Overbought), example: Price is hitting highs (1.0) and deviation is also at its highest (100) = 100, opposite for bearish
Result can also tell you if price is at the top of the range but the deviation is so tiny and we're mostly pinned to the mean (1.0 * 5 = only 5)
How to Trade this Indicator--
If the indicator is stuck near the middle and purple:
- Don't make directional trades or you'll be eaten alive by the chop
- Good idea to sell options, Iron Condors/Butterflies, etc
- Wait for a move to breakout --> the purple will fade away and give way to a direction
--- As in all trading scenarios, be mindful of fakeouts/short moves to one direction that very quickly get reversed
If the indicator is heading higher:
- This would indicate there is a bull trend going on, get long
- If we are reaching the overbought area, this is an ideal place to take profits or look at spreads like Bearish Call Spreads (sell calls)
- I think you can make your own determination of when to sell by either selling when we're in the overbought area (if it reaches there) or staying bullish so long as it is above the zone
If the indicator is heading lower:
- Bear trend, shorting is possible
- Can use this as a contrarian signal to buy lows

Please feel free to use this indicator for your trading or your own indicators. This particular script is very stripped down/bare bones from what I have been working on as an ongoing project. If TradingView ever returns scripts you can sell, I would probably open that up for a small premium.
Percent changeThis indicator shows WMA ribbons of the percentage of price movements.
Strong peaks show unusual price movement and might indicate a good time to close your position.
A narrow band shows stable price movement and could indicate a good time to get into a position. (Squeeze)
CryptoBreakers MTF Sqz StrategyThis is a Multi Time Frame squeeze strategy that has been consistently catching large BTC and ETH moves.
It's building up on the basic squeeze play of both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands going inside the Keltner Channel
and in one indicator quickly seeing when both Bollinger Bands start to come out of the Keltner channel and positioning us
for the large move that is about to take place.
Before I explain the rules for the winning strategy, let's cover the basics on the indicator.
1. When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, a compression is in place, and the squeeze is on. This is reflected on the indicator as colored dots.
2. The indicator covers 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, 39min, 78min, 195min, 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month timeframes for squeezes.
Your chart needs to be set to the lowest time frame resolution of 5min in order for the indicator to show squeezes in all higher timeframe resolutions.
So whatever your chart resolution is, the indicator will show the squeezes in that timeframe and above correctly.
3. ORANGE dots indicate high level of compression. RED dots indicate medium level of compression. BLACK dots indicate low level of compression and the GREEN dots indicate no compression.
4. Generally, higher the level of compression and the longer duration of the squeeze, the more explosive the move expected. With this one indicator I was able to consistently catch 500 plus
point moves in BTC and 30-50 point moves in ETH.
Let's review the rules of the strategy:
1. For the ideal set up, we look for two lower timeframe resolutions (preferably 30 and 39 minutes OR 39 minutes and 78 minutes) to be in squeeze for at least 6 dots and at the sametime we
need to see one or two higher timeframe resolutions in squeeze (195 minutes and 1 day OR 1 day and 1 week resolutions)
2. Determine the direction of the trend in the higher time frames (bullish and bearish). We look for stacked up or down EMAs of 8, 21, 34, 55 and 84 on a daily and/or weekly chart.
3. For entry, wait for the lower timeframe squeeze to fire meaning look for the first green dot after the black, red, or orange dots (minimum six in total).
For example the 30 min row shows the first green dot after the sequence of squeeze dots and the direction of the price movement (up or down) at that green dot bar aligns with the direction of the price movement in the higher timeframe chart.
4. Once the lower timeframe squeezes fire, we follow the move to continuation of the firing of the higher timeframe squeezes.
5. Our exit will be at the price point of 6-9 green dots after the higher timeframe squeeze fired in the same direction as the lower timeframe.
I created this to make it easier to see the set up on any stock and crypto chart. It has been working consistently on BTC and ETH price action. I have not seen anything on TV that cover multi time frame squeeze play in a very simple and clean way.
This makes it very easy to see the set up with one indicator. I'm using this with my trading group.

Momentum Strategy [MA Crossover + Squeeze Release + Alerts]This is a Strategy with associated visual indicators and Buy/Sell/Close Alerts for the Squeeze Momentum Indicator .
Development Notes
-------------------------
This is a fork of LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum Indicator histogram with an added moving average crossover for multiple trade signal confirmation. Functionality for Multi-Timeframe Resolution was also enabled and code was updated for PineScript v4 compatibility.
Strategy Description
-------------------------
Enter trade when the active crossover period (identified by background crossover indicator/zone) correlates with a squeeze release (black to gray cross along midline). BUY Long if momentum in uptrend or SELL Short if in downtrend. Close trade when momentum reverses.
Alerts configured for entering Long/Short position and to Close order.
Designed to have only one open long or short position at a time (no pyramiding) with an associated close order for each.
Indicator Visuals
--------------------
Crossover zone background (green or red) based on last crossover direction (only buy orders are triggered in a buy zone and sell orders in a sell zone)
Moving average crossover line matches trend (buy upwards on green and sell downwards on red)
Buy (green circle) and Sell (red circle) signals at the point of crossover
Buy (green cross) and Sell (red cross) signals at squeeze release on the midline
Long (green arrow) and Short (red arrow) order label when every indicator is triggered together
Close (purple arrow) and label when either trend or crossover zone changes
Recommend backtesting with the resolution set to current timeframe to avoid repainting; no other known repainting. There is a current bug or flaw in the script where all the Close and some of the Long and Short orders are not executed by the strategy (this doesn't affect the visual indicators, only the strategy).
Note that the provided backtest result is based on a position sizing of 10% equity with 100k initial capital. The 15-minute timeframe performed the best, with the 30-minute a close second, and 5/45-minute tied for third. Profit/loss went into the red when expanding out to 2-hours or beyond. I suspect this could be improved upon if you follow the Alerts on the oscillator versus rely solely on the strategy (due to the aforementioned issue with all entry and exit positions not being depicted).
Disclaimer
Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice.
Script is currently protected (due to the extensive development in the strategy) to prevent the source from being copied and sold.
[Zekis]Squeeze Momentum + IchimokuHi,
This is a strategy developed by @zsone, a strategy suitable mostly for altcoins (but not necessary).
The strategy is using the following indicators: Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear), two Ichimoku Clouds (one is MTF), daily EMA21 and EMA golden cross (optionally).
Setting should be used as default.
Rules for entries (scalping):
Go Long (green line on the histogram):
- use low time frames (3m, 5m, 15m)
- candle closes above the ichimoku cloud
- squeeze momentum, first grey cross on green histogram (2 ways):
1. histogram is green and have a black cross and later it turns to grey cross
2. the histogram is red with grey cross and it goes to green with grey cross without having a black cross, just directly goes green histogram with grey cross
- price is above the daily EMA21
- price is above or inside de ichimoku cloud MTF (1h TF)
- optionally! EMA golden/death cross
Go Short (red line on the histogram):
- vice versa
Rules for exits:
- DI+ crosses down on DI- on longs
- DI- crosses up on DI+ on shorts
- or any fixed, dynamic, trailing... TP/SL (according to the market conditions)
This strategy can be used also for high time frames (12h, 1D) with a golden/death cross confirmation.
Soon I will publish a screener that scan multiple altcoins at once to find setups easier.
P.S.1 The strategy should be used with it's default settings/values (you can change them if you want), but there are 2 versions of Squeeze Momentum from Lazy Bear that you can choose from.
P.S.2 This is not a magic strategy, please do your research before using real money!
P.S.3 The strategy is free to use, just add it to the favorites and then to the chart.
Enjoy!
Delta Volume Moves Today I propose an indicator to measure volume trend and change in buying and selling pressure (Delta). This is a synthetic mechanism to derive delta volume and then formulate rest so its not like typical delta volume indicator either.
So what is it exactly?
Indicator first calculates the cumulative delta volume , then filters it through filters applied in the calculation to identify major volume changes/pressure change, it also keeps track of overall trend based on 20 SMA filter as basis and 2 stdv movement from it applied on cumulative delta volume . This is plotted on top side of the indicator with "-" and "_" plots. Color lime indicates bullish trend and color red indicates bearish trend .
Delta filter is dependent on the factor input which is user defined, here by default it is 1.5, which will indicate overall significant change in pressure in volume in that particular direction, please note that higher the number lower the delta plots you will have to count it, and number below 1 would be useless as it would not be measuring "increase" in delta volume but decrease. So it is advised to keep it around 1.5 to be reasonably useful measure. This is plotted with "∆" character on the volume bars.
How can we use this to our advantage?
As you can see on chart, its able to identify possible reversal or tops/bottoms of the price action, while this is the primary use it is also worth noting that in comparison to the regular volume indicator which is dependent on the candle price close with respect to its open, this is much better visual representation of the sell or buy volume .
When you apply delta filters and trend filters to an already easy to read volume indicator, it is making significant impact on indicators ability to identify major volume changes and trend changes with respect to cumulative delta volume .
Authors note:
Please note that this study is experimental and published for the educational purpose, if you decide to use it to monitor market it is advised that you put in some time to observe correlations between this and price action before you start trading it.
Also, while on chart this is showing impressive tendency to identify tops and bottoms, its a very limited view. Please keep in mind to check this across different scripts which have good qty of volume .
Author takes no responsibility of your loss or profit from this.
Past performance is no assurance of future performance.
Regards.
!BooM!Hello
The indicator measures the relationship between Average True Range (ATR) that shows how much an asset moves, on average, during a given time frame and Standard Deviation that measuring how widely asset prices are dispersed from the average price. If prices trade in a narrow trading range, the relationship between the ATR and SD will return a low value that indicates low volatility that will lead to potential price quick movement.
To increase the accuracy of the indicator and reduce false signals, it generates three circles, each indicate protentional price quick movement coming. For circle to print, following criteria must meet:
• Green Circle is based on low volatility and both ATR and SD are at minimum value for a short pre-defined time frame.
• Magenta Circle is based on low volatility and SD are at minimum value for a long pre-defined time frame.
• Yellow Circle is based on low volatility and SD are at minimum value for a short pre-defined time frame and Average Directional Movement Index reaching to pre-defined level.
The indicator focuses mainly on identifying potential price quick movement. However, it is equipped with two signal that is generated upon crossing the keltner channel upper or lower bands to help identifying the direction of the price movements but the user shall study the chart on big time frame to confirm the direction of the price movement.

Bollinger Bands Width with Squeeze AlertThis is the standard Bollinger Bands Width (BBW) indicator with the added capability of detecting the "Bollinger Bands Squeeze" as defined by John Bollinger:
The BBW squeeze happens when BBW < all BBWs of the past 125 intervals.
Whenever a BBW squeeze occurs, this means there is low volatility.
A low volatility period is almost always followed by high volatility: a large breakout (with price performing ample movement and exiting the BBW bands) may suddenly occur.
The breakout may be preceded by a fakeout, during which price moves in the opposite direction.
[astropark] Nova BandsDear followers,
today a new analysis and scalping tool for day trading on low timeframes (5-15 minutes) or to plan swing trades on hourly timeframes. It can be used also on high timeframes just for analysis current market trend.
The indicator plots a series of levels which create a nice bands flow.
The slope of levels make you easily understand when price is in consolidation, in uptrend or in downtrend.
The golden rule is always the same: buy low and sell high .
This indicator plots:
3 "price is low here" levels (from dark green to light green)
3 "price is average here" levels
3 "price is high here" levels (from purple to orange)
When bands are flat, price is in consolidation and this is best condition to trade with nova bands.
When price reaches higher bands, you will open a short position with targets below levels, fully closing your position when price hits the average level (black).
Here an example on Bitcoin on 15m using 1h resolution:
The same applies when price reaches lower bands, you will open a long position with targets above levels, fully closing your position when price hits the average level (black).
When bands get nearer and nearer is called "Bands Squeeze": price is next to a main breakout move, volatility is coming!
Here an example of SPX500: after long consolidation and bands getting nearer and neared, we had the breakout, downwards in this case.
In this screenshot you can see what signals algorithm provided:
Our suggestion is to play safe these kind of scenarios, no reason to FOMO buy/sell. Just wait for price consolidation / getting back inside the bands.
For example you would have skip first three buy signals, while you would have longed the last two as price came back inside bands after the big volatility which made price went below bands.
Another example is TSLA stock on 15m with 1h resolution:
Price touched the first bullish level and made a big move upwards, breaking bands with a +90% move.
In this case, you would have skipper first 2 sell signals, while you would have accepted next two with stoploss above recent high.
Acceptable also the other two sell signals, which you may have closed when price retraced to lower levels:
You can of course run trends like this buying on price hitting bullish/lower levels after a long consolidation and sell on price hitting middle and higher levels:
A trader who wants to be a winner must understand that money and risk management are very important, so manage your position size and always have a stop loss in your trades.
Here some examples how the indicator works on different markets:
EURUSD 15m with standard settings and 1h resolution
GOLD (XAUUSD) 15m with standard settings and 1h resolution
Facebook (FB) 15m with standard settings and 1h resolution
This is a premium indicator , so send me a private message in order to get access to this script.
Multi StrategyDuring the course of a trade, we can find ourselves changing strategies depending on the market. Instead of using many different templates, I have a simple indicator that clearly says "Buy", "Sell" or "Stay Out". The great thing about this approach, is we instantly observe the majority are in agreement and that decides which way to place our trade.
This indicator includes the following strategies:
- QQE
- Ichimoku using much faster settings.
- Parabolic SAR
- Supertrend
- TTM Oscillator
- The Squeeze strategy
- The Alligator Strategy
Using this indicator is simple, if the lines are mainly green then buy, if mainly red then sell OR don't trade. So...
Green Line - This strategy is in a buy position
Orange or Black Line - This strategy is undecided
Red Line - This strategy is in a sell position
There are also some green and red circles for reference that appear showing when that bar has broken through the Ichimoku cloud.
The trader's approach is simple, when all indicators are green or red, then take the trade. As soon as one indicator changes, then re-evaluate using your normal process, such as price action, to determine whether to close the trade or continue.
I can customise this further or add other strategies, please message me.
Volatility Bands by DGTVolatility represents how large an asset's prices swing around the mean price, the degree of variation of a trading price over time, and is commonly measured with beta (β) coefficients, standard deviations (σ) of returns where tools such as Average True Range, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channel, Squeeze Indicator, etc presents volatility concept
Volatility often refers to the amount of uncertainty or risk related to the size of changes in a security's value. The higher the volatility, the riskier the security - the price of the security can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction. A lower volatility - security's value does not fluctuate dramatically, and tends to be more steady
This study, Volatility Bands , attempts to present a way to measure and visualize volatility , using standard deviations (σ) and average true range indicator, and aims to point out areas that might indicate potential trading opportunities
I will try to explain the usage with examples,
same setup with different option selected
as you may observe from the examples different setting may have advantages and disadvantages over one another, it is recommended to verify a trading setup with different available options.
Additionally, It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators, or verify using chart/candle patterns. Below is an usage example using in conjunction with other indicator, in the given example “Neglected Volume by DGT” is selected
Similarities and Differences
Bollinger Bands depicts two standard deviations above and below a simple moving average, and Keltner Channel depicts two times average true range (ATR) above and below an exponential moving average
Volatility Bands study combines the approach of both Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel, with different settings and different visualization
Default settings are one standard deviations and one time average true range (ATR) above and below 13 period exponential moving average. Setting can be adjusted by users but let me remind all testes are performed with the default settings.
Mathematically expressed as
Upper band area between “ema + stdev” and “ema + atr”
Lower band area between “ema – stdev” and “ema – atr”
A different display is added with the inspiration I get from one of the @quantgym ‘s study, many thanks @quantgym 😉
When difference band display is selected the study will reflect the area between “ema + stdev – atr” and “ema – stdev + atr”. As shown in the examples above
Note: standard deviation calculation can be adjusted based on price action or its moving average.
Other differentiation between BB and KC is with V-BANDS mostly we look for trade opportunities when price action move out of the bands and in most cases we assume market is consolidating when the price action is within the bands
The other indicator that presents similarities to Volatility Bands is Squeeze Indicator, which measures the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify consolidations and signal when prices are likely to break out. Mainly Volatility Bands is different version of Squeeze indicator, in fact the purpose is almost same but visualization is completely different. Additionally Volatility Bands Offers trading opportunities whereas Squeeze indicator only presents market states unless a momentum indicator is adapted to Squeeze indicator.

Squeeze ZoneThis script supports my previous post Empirical Suite
It automatically plots Support and Resistance levels on the chart during periods of volatility squeeze.
You have three plotting methods:
From High to Low
From Open to Close
Linear Regression (experimental)
The levels are color-coded:
Red: weak, one-sided volatility squeeze
Orange: typically strong, no volatility issue
You can have a double-red zone, where both buying and selling volatility has dropped.
Combine this with the Empirical Suite or your favorite
analysis tools for extra confirmation.

Empirical SuiteThis indicator removes high-frequency noise from 4 extremely useful measurements:
Volume
Volatility
Trend
Momentum
All plots are normalized after filtration to make comparisons easier.
In the chart, I step through an example trade on $TSLA, however, the indicator works well on
Currencies and Commodities too.
Comparing side-by-side to other common tools
RSI: Faster entries and exits
Stochastic: Faster exits and less false positives
Momentum: Not manipulated by low-volume spikes
TTM Squeeze: Regularly 1 bar faster on both entries and exits
MACD: Faster entries and exits
I plan on releasing updates in the future - Alerts, Entry & Exit conditions, and better performance during consolidation.
Keltner+Bollinger Squeeze [kingthies_]Keltner-Bollinger-Combo Squeeze
As you likely know, the bollinger squeeze comes from the bband indicator, a classic indicator in all forms of technical analysis, effectively measuring volatility of a given assets price movement.
There are different forms of the squeeze here on tradingview, and I've combined the Bollinger band indicator in my own strategy, to the alternative and similar appearing Keltner channels. The two work incredibly well together and I've used them in my analysis for years now as my core approach to understanding the technical side of the markets.
This tool will show users the result that i typically look for when assessing for potential volatile moves in the near future for an asset, and will highlight the chart + send an alert when the chart is something to look at and the indicator suggests incoming volatility may be in the near future.
The users will still need to assess themselves whether the squeeze they see is a bullish or bearish leaning, but the overall idea is to set it and forget it with the alert clause thats added in.
Personally i enjoy this with Heikin ashi inputs but use whichever preference you have, and all timeframes + tickers should apply here.
Cheers
Stoch X, an Indicator of Indicators by DGTStochastic refers to a randomly determined process and financial markets use stochastic models to represent the seemingly random behaviour of assets and then used by quantitative analysts to value options on asset prices
The stochastic oscillator, developed by George Lane, presents the location of the closing price of a stock in relation to the high and low range of the price of a stock over a period of time. Lane has said that the stochastic oscillator does not follow price or volume or anything similar. He indicates that the oscillator follows the speed or momentum of price.
Traditionally, readings over 80 are considered in the overbought range, and readings under 20 are considered oversold. Please note that, very strong trends can maintain overbought or oversold conditions for an extended period and traders should look to changes in the stochastic oscillator for clues about future trend shifts. It is advised to check the higher timeframe of your trading timeframe and see where you are in the “big picture”
Signal crosses , intersection of stochastic and its signal line is considered to be a signal that a reversal may be in the works
Divergence between the stochastic oscillator and trending price action is also seen as an important reversal signal
Lane also reveals in interviews that, as a rule, the momentum or speed of the price of a stock changes before the price changes itself . In this way, the stochastic oscillator can be used to foreshadow reversals when the indicator reveals bullish or bearish divergences. This signal is the first, and arguably the most important, trading signal Lane identified.
What is Stochastic X ?
Stochastic X , is essentially an indicator of an indicator, providing stochastic calculation to some of well known indicators, such as RSI, MFI, OBV, etc. This means that it is a measure of selected specific indicator relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time.
Features of Stoch X
1- Displays Stoch of and indicator plus a companion indicator (companion display can be disabled from user dialog box)
Available options
Stoch Source plus PM A, where Source is close price and PMA refers to Price Distance to its Moving Average (for further details you may check my study of Price Distance to its MA by DGT, and different application of distance concept available with “MACD-X, More Than MACD" And “P-MACD”)
Stoch RSI plus RSI , Stoch RSI, developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll, is a build-in indicator available on Trading View, where Stoch X adds RSI as a companion indicator to Stoch RSI
Stoch MFI and MFI , where MFI is Money Flow Index, measures buying and selling pressure through analyzing both price and volume
Stoch OBV + VO , Where OBV is On Balance Volume, is a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow. VO stands for Volume Oscillator which aims to confirm a market turnaround or trend reversal
Stoch EWO + EWO , EWO stands for Elliott Wave Oscillator
By default the threshold levels are indicated and are displayed differently for the regular Stoch or Stoch RSI. Overbought band (70-80), oversold band (20-30) and middle line (0) are emphasized
Warning : Centered Oscillators base line is moved from 0 to 50 to better suit with Stoch X, which is applied to PMA, VO and EWO
2- Can be plotted along with Stoch in the same window using the same scaling
To avoid misinterpreting the area between Stoch X and its Signal Line is highlighted automatically in case Stoch is selected to be plotted
3- Squeeze Indicator added as Add-on in the bottom of the Stoch X
During volatile market conditions the stochastic oscillator has been known to produce false signals. One way to help with this is to take the price trend as a filter, or basic chart pattern analysis can help to identify major, underlying trends and increase the Stoch X's accuracy.
This study implements Squeeze Indicator to help and add additional insight for filtering false signals. Blue diamond shapes indicates the squeeze release, that is volatility increased and according to momentum direction the buy/sell possibility can be considered. Orange ones displays consolidation periods, that is low volatility and the market is assumed to be in squeeze and no trade is recommended. in this phase.
