K Bands v2.2

K Bands v2 - Settings Breakdown (Timeframe Agnostic)
K Bands v2 is an adaptive volatility envelope tool designed for flexibility across different trading
styles and timeframes.
The settings below allow complete control over how the bands are constructed, smoothed, and how
they respond to market volatility.
1. Upstream MA Type
Controls the core smoothing applied to price before calculating the bands.
Options:
- EMA: Fast, responsive, reacts quickly to price changes.
- SMA: Classic moving average, slower but provides stability.
- Hull: Ultra smooth, reduces noise significantly but may react differently to choppy conditions.
- GeoMean: Geometric mean smoothing, creates a unique, slightly smoother line.
- SMMA: Wilder-style smoothing, balances noise reduction and responsiveness.
- WMA: Weighted Moving Average, emphasizes recent price action for sharper responsiveness.
2. Smoothing Length
Lookback period for the upstream moving average.
- Lower values: Faster reaction, captures short-term shifts.
- Higher values: Smoother trend depiction, filters out noise.
3. Multiplier
Determines the width of the bands relative to calculated volatility.
- Lower multiplier: Tighter bands, more signals, but increased false breakouts.
- Higher multiplier: Wider bands, fewer false signals, more conservative.
4. Downstream MA Type
Applies final smoothing to the band plots after initial calculation.
Same options as Upstream MA.
5. Downstream Smoothing Length
Lookback period for downstream smoothing.
- Lower: More responsive bands.
- Higher: Smoother, visually cleaner bands.
6. Band Width Source
Selects the method used to calculate band width based on market volatility.
Options:
- ATR (Average True Range): Smooth, stable bands based on price range expansion.
- Stdev (Standard Deviation): More reactive bands highlighting short-term volatility spikes.
7. ATR Smoothing Type
Controls how the ATR or Stdev value is smoothed before applying to band width.
Options:
- Wilder: Classic, stable smoothing.
- SMA: Simple moving average smoothing.
- EMA: Faster, more reactive smoothing.
- Hull: Ultra-smooth, noise-reducing smoothing.
- GeoMean: Geometric mean smoothing.

8. ATR Length
Lookback period for smoothing the volatility measurement (ATR or Stdev).
- Lower: More reactive bands, captures quick shifts.
- Higher: Smoother, more stable bands.
9. Dynamic Multiplier Based on Volatility
Allows the band multiplier to adapt automatically to changes in market volatility.
- ON: Bands expand during high volatility and contract during low volatility.
- OFF: Bands remain fixed based on the set multiplier.
10. Dynamic Multiplier Sensitivity
Controls how aggressively the dynamic multiplier responds to volatility changes.
- Lower values: Subtle adjustments.
- Higher values: More aggressive band expansion/contraction.
K Bands v2 is designed to be adaptable across any market or timeframe, helping visualize price
structure, trend, and volatility behavior.
