EMA+ATR Band MTF Trend EntryThis is a Multi-Timeframe Trend Trading indicator strategy adapted from Sahil Rohmehtra’s Mentorship programme. The trading decision is made by first accessing the trend in higher timeframe (say Monthly) by using TWO EMAs. If the faster EMA (say 20 period) is above Slower EMA (say 50 period) and the price is above slower EMA then the trend is suitable for buyers. Similarly if faster EMA is below slow EMA and the price is below that then trend is suitable for sellers.
Once we access the trend in the higher timeframe we move to the lower timeframe (say Weekly) and access the 5-period RSI value. If RSI is below 30 then we can prepare for possible buy entry in lower (Daily) timeframe if entry conditions are met in daily timeframe. Similarly sell bias can be initiated when the higher timeframe EMA trend is down, daily RSI is above 70 and sell entry condition is met in daily timeframe. The RSI thresholds can be changed by the user.
Once we identified the RSI bias then wait for the confirmation candle in the lower timeframe (say 1 hour). In the entry timeframe we plot a band of 20 EMA of LOWs ± 1 ATR lines. Here,we wait for a candle to close above the 20 EMA of LOWs + 1 ATR for a buy signal with an increase in On Balance Volume (OBV) value. Similarly for sell signal we should get a candle close below the 20 EMA of LOWs - 1 ATR with corresponding change in OBV. This candle is the signal candle.
Once we get a Buy or Sell signal the corresponding stop loss is the nearest LOW - 1 ATR or HIGH + 1 ATR. The ATR scaling may be changed by the user. Now if another candle closes above the high of the buy signal candle then enter on buy. If the low of the buy signal candle is broken then it is a potential short-term sell entry. Similarly if another candle closes below the sell signal candle then enter short and if there is a close above high of the signal candle then it is a potential buy entry.
Rekt Edge Reversion BandRekt Edge Reversion band is a technical indicator that utilizes a combination of moving averages and standard deviations to determine optimal entry and exit points in the market. By comparing the current price to its moving average, the indicator identifies potential trends and determines how you can position around them by plotting buy/sell signals and two channels based on user input parameters. The user can choose between Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) or Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) and select the moving average period, the unit of separation, the multiples of the unit, and other important parameters. The indicator's inputs can be adjusted to suit different trading styles, and it can be used on any time frame. The indicator can be used to identify potential trend reversals or breakouts (or breakdowns) when the price moves outside of the channels. The indicators potential use cases include identifying overbought or oversold conditions. With its ability to provide a clear signal on when to enter and exit a trade, this indicator is a popular tool among traders looking to make more informed and profitable trading decisions. This indicator can also be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm or invalidate trading signals.
MA20 Hi-Lo-Close Magic BandThis is an improvement over my previous MA20 High Low Magic Band, as it keeps a central 20 MA reference point. So it can help find the up from MA20 lows and down from MA20 highs resisted or supported by MA20 average before final entry. Usable in any time frame of choice - 15m, 30m, Hourly or Daily. In the Hourly / Daily time frame, the signal used with the volume data may work in 6/10 events or more ... Happy trading!
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.
Bull Market Support Band DivergencyThis script calculates the effective difference between the 21w EMA and the 20w SMA, which forms the Bull Market Support Band on BTC.
We can see some positive maximum on the indicator, which happens (often) to be zones of great volatility and sell zones, and the opposite for negative minimums.
Some periodicity is shown too, up to your own conclusions.
Bands-Trailing Stop UtilityIntroduction
Bands and trailing stops are important indicators in technical analysis, while we could think that both are different they can be in fact closely related, at least in the way they are made. Bands and trailing stops can be made from a simple central tendency estimator, like a moving average, and from a volatility estimator like standard deviation, atr...etc.
This is why i propose this utility that allow you to make bands and trailing stops from any indicator in the price chart.
How To Use
All you have to do is select the indicator you want to make bands from in the settings, so just open the Bands-Trailing Stop Utility indicator settings and select your indicator in "Source". Make sure your source indicator is not in "hide" mode.
For example here i'am using a moving average as source for the indicator. Mult control how spread the bands are from each others, by default mult = 1, if we use mult = 2 we get :
Mult can be non-integer as well as lower than 1 (when lower than 1 the bands would be closer to each others)
Error/Volatility Estimators
You can choose from a wide variety of volatility estimators, select the estimator from the "Method" scrolling parameter in settings, by default the indicator will use the running mean absolute error (MAE) which don't use length. Other estimators use length, making length = to the period of the source indicator can help get better results.
The root moving averaged squared error (RMASE) is just the square root of the simple moving average of the squared difference between the closing price and the source indicator. length control the period of the moving average of RMASE.
You can also use the average true range with period length. It might work better with low lagging moving averages.
The range is simply the difference between the highest and lowest over length periods of the source indicator.
Stdev is simply the price running standard deviation.
Trailing Stop
When the trailing stop mode is checked the bands will be replaced by a trailing stop, the trailing stop will still depend on every settings of the indicator like mult/volatility estimator...etc.
Conclusion
You might find an use to this tool if you want to make bands/trailing stops from pretty much everything. The indicator used as source for the examples is a smooth exponential averager that i could share if i see interest from peoples.
Thanks for reading !
Bollinger Bands TimeBollinger bands that are fixed to a time interval. The time interval can be set in minutes or days.
Parameters
Daily Interval: If checked then days are used for the interval. If unchecked then minutes will be used.
Interval: The interval to use for the indicator.
Balgat EkibiBands are calculated with the std error and variance of the price actions. So if price cross up or cross down the variance bands, you could expect a reversal movement.
So if price cross up with the bands and after that there is a reversal candle movement, a short position could be taken.
If price cross down to the bands and after that there is a reversal candle movement, a long positon could be taken.
All risk management and money management is up to you.

The Bollinger Bands (upper, middle, and lower) are plotted directly on the price chart for easy visualization.
How to Use the Script:
Customize Parameters:
Modify the length and deviation inputs to adapt to different market conditions or timeframes.
Interpret Signals:
A BUY signal indicates a possible reversal or upward movement from the lower band.
A SELL signal suggests a potential price decline from the upper band.
Combine with Other Indicators:
While effective in certain conditions, this strategy performs better when combined with other technical tools, such as RSI or MACD, to confirm trends and avoid false signals.
Limitations:
This script assumes that price will revert to the mean, which may not hold during strong trends or highly volatile conditions.
It is not a standalone trading system and should be backtested and optimized before applying to real trading.
Supertrend BandsSupertrend Bands
What is the Supertrend indicator?
"The Supertrend indicator is a trend following overlay on your trading chart, much like a moving average, that shows you the current trend direction.
The indicator works well in a trending market but can give false signals when a market is trading in a range.
It uses the ATR (average true range) as part of its calculation which takes into account the volatility of the market. The ATR is adjusted using the multiplier setting which determines how sensitive the indicator is."
"For the basic Supertrend settings, you can adjust period and factor:
- The period setting is the lookback for the ATR calculation
- Factor is the what the ATR is multiplied by to offset the bands from price"
How to use this indicator
This indicator is inspired by a strategy I found. It includes four Supertrend indicators, each with different settings that displays trend strength and support/resistance zones. The default settings are optimal for cryptocurrency but do work quite well for traditional also. I highly recommend you try experimenting with different settings, increasing them to suit the instrument.
The bands are set from low to high, Band 1 being the fastest and Band 4 being the slowest. Band 4 is the one that sets the overall trend so when price is above Band 4, the trend is bullish and vice versa. Trend is strongest when price is above/below Band 1 and gets weaker as it filters through each band. Band 4 provides the strongest support/resistance and if that breaks the trend flips.
In the menu, you will see an option called "Remove Anti Trend?". It is enabled by default and it removes any bearish/resistance bands when the trend is up and any bullish/support bands when the trend is down. When turned off, it will show all Supertrend Bands as they are by default.
Bar Colors
Bar colors are optional and they reflect the current trend strength based on the Supertrend bands.
Alternate ways of using this indicator
You could leave everything as default or you can display individual bands. For instance, because I use many overlay indicators, most of the time I turn off all the bands and only show bar colors:
You can also turn off Bands 1 and 2 and only show the two slowest lengths:
This removes the noise of the two faster Supertrends.
Or just show the two fastest bands:
Any suggestions to improve this indicator are most welcome :)
[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Adaptive BandPass FilterLevel: 2
Background
John F. Ehlers introduced Adaptive BandPass Filter in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 11 on 2013.
Function
Adaptive band-pass filter was designed. It just makes since to tune that filter to the measured dominant cycle to eliminate all the other frequency components that are of no interest. Here, the adaptive band-pass indicator starts with the computation of the dominant cycle using the autocorrelation periodogram approach.
One way to make a band-pass filter have a leading phase capability is to tune the filter to a period shorter than the period of the cycle being measured. In this case, the bandwidth of filter is set to 0.3. That is 30 percent of the tuned center period. Therefore, the half bandwidth is 15 percent. We tune the filter to be 10 percent toward the shorter period from the dominant cycle period to provide the phase lead while still having the data of interest be within the filter bandwidth. This provides a phase lead of the dominant cycle to be something on the order of 60 degrees, or one-sixth of a cycle. If the dominant cycle were 18 bars, for example, then the detuning of the filter would produce a 3-bar lead. This leading function is not huge, but it is significant.
A convenient trigger line is included in the adaptive band-pass filter to signal the more highly likely buy and sell points. The trigger is compute as 90 percent of the amplitude of the adaptive band-pass filter line and is delayed by one bar. While the line crossings occur after the peak of the band-pass filter, phase lead provides for the generation of a timely signal. Significant trading signals should also include the criteria that the line crossing occur at greater than the +0.7 and less than the −0.7 reference lines.

In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Dynamic Laguerre Filter Bands | OttoThis indicator combines trend-following and volatility analysis by enhancing the traditional Laguerre filter with a dynamic, volatility-adjusted band system. Instead of using fixed thresholds, the bands adapt in real-time to changing market conditions by applying smoothed standard deviation calculations. This design keeps the indicator responsive to significant price movements while effectively filtering out short-term market noise, resulting in more accurate trend identification and breakout signals.
Core Concept
The indicator is built around the following key components:
Laguerre Filter:
The Laguerre filter is designed to smooth out price data by reducing market noise while still being quick enough to detect real changes in price direction. Its goal is to create a clear, smooth trend line that helps traders/investors focus on the overall market trend without getting distracted by small, random price swings.
It uses a parameter called gamma to control how it balances smoothness and responsiveness:
A lower gamma gives more weight to recent price data, making the filter react faster to new price changes. This means the trend line is more sensitive but may also be less smooth and more prone to small fluctuations.
A higher gamma gives more weight to past price data, making the filter smoother and less sensitive to quick changes. This helps reduce noise and produces a steadier trend line, but it also introduces more lag, meaning the filter reacts slower to new price moves.
By adjusting gamma, the Laguerre filter lets you choose the balance between following price changes quickly and having a stable, noise-free trend signal.
Standard Deviation:
shows how much price varies from the mean. In this indicator, it’s used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Bands: The upper and lower bands are based on an EMA-smoothed standard deviation of price. The EMA reduces sudden jumps in volatility, creating smoother and more stable bands that still respond to changing market conditions. These bands are plotted around the Laguerre filter line, expanding and contracting in a controlled way to stay aligned with real market movement while avoiding short-term noise.
Signal Logic:
A long signal is triggered when the close price crosses above the upper band.
A short signal occurs when the close price falls below the lower band.
⚙️ Inputs
Source: Price source used in calculations
Gamma: Adjusts how much the Laguerre filter responds to price changes. Lower gamma values make the filter react more to recent prices, while higher values give more influence to older data, making the line smoother but slower to respond.
Volatility Length: Period used to calculate standard deviation
Volatility Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing length for standard deviation
Multiplier: Scales the width of the bands based on volatility
📈 Visual Output
Laguerre Filter Line: Plots the laguerre filter line, colored dynamically based on signal direction (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Upper & Lower Bands: Volatility-based bands that adjust with market conditions. (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Glow Effect: Optional glow layer to enhance visibility of the laguerre filter trend line (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Bar Coloring: Candlesticks and bar colors reflect the active signal state for fast visual interpretation (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your chart and monitor for signal events:
Long Signal: When price closes above the upper band
Short Signal: When price closes below the lower band
🔔 Alerts
This indicator supports optional alert conditions you can enable for:
Long Signal: Close price crossing above the upper band
Short Signal: Close price crossing below the lower band

HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.
Volatility-Based Mean Reversion BandsThe Volatility-Based Mean Reversion Bands indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify potential mean reversion trading opportunities based on market volatility. The indicator consists of three lines: the mean line, upper band, and lower band. These bands dynamically adjust based on the average true range (ATR) and act as reference levels for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
The calculation of the indicator involves several steps. The average true range (ATR) is calculated using a specified lookback period. The ATR measures the market's volatility by considering the range between high and low prices over a given period. The mean line is calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the same lookback period. The upper band is derived by adding the product of the ATR and a multiplier to the mean line, while the lower band is derived by subtracting the product of the ATR and the same multiplier from the mean line.
Interpreting the indicator is relatively straightforward. When the price approaches or exceeds the upper band, it suggests that the market is overbought and may be due for a potential reversal to the downside. On the other hand, when the price approaches or falls below the lower band, it indicates that the market is oversold and may be poised for a potential reversal to the upside. Traders can look for opportunities to enter short positions near the upper band and long positions near the lower band, anticipating the price to revert back towards the mean line.
The bar color and background color play a crucial role in visualizing the indicator's signals and market conditions. Lime-colored bars are used when the price is above the upper band, indicating a potential bearish mean reversion signal. Conversely, fuchsia-colored bars are employed when the price is below the lower band, suggesting a potential bullish mean reversion signal. This color scheme helps traders quickly identify the prevailing market condition and potential reversal zones. The background color complements the bar color by providing further context. Lime-colored background indicates a potential bearish condition, while fuchsia-colored background suggests a potential bullish condition. The transparency level of the background color is set to 80% to avoid obscuring the price chart while still providing a visual reference.
To provide additional confirmation for mean reversion setups, the indicator incorporates the option to use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as a confluence factor. The RSI is a popular momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. When enabled, the indicator checks if the RSI is in overbought territory (above 70) or oversold territory (below 30), providing additional confirmation for potential mean reversion setups.
In addition to visual signals, the indicator includes entry arrows above or below the bars to highlight the occurrence of short or long entries. When the price is above the upper band and the confluence condition is met, a fuchsia-colored triangle-up arrow is displayed above the bar, indicating a potential short entry signal. Similarly, when the price is below the lower band and the confluence condition is met, a lime-colored triangle-down arrow is displayed below the bar, indicating a potential long entry signal.
Traders can customize the indicator's parameters according to their trading preferences. The "Lookback Period" determines the number of periods used in calculating the mean line and the average true range (ATR). Adjusting this parameter can affect the sensitivity and responsiveness of the indicator. Smaller values make the indicator more reactive to short-term price movements, while larger values smooth out the indicator and make it less responsive to short-term fluctuations. The "Multiplier" parameter determines the distance between the mean line and the upper/lower bands. Increasing the multiplier widens the bands, indicating a broader range for potential mean reversion opportunities, while decreasing the multiplier narrows the bands, indicating a tighter range for potential mean reversion opportunities.
It's important to note that the Volatility-Based Mean Reversion Bands indicator is not a standalone trading strategy but rather a tool to assist traders in identifying potential mean reversion setups. Traders should consider using additional analysis techniques and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions. Additionally, the indicator's performance may vary across different market conditions and instruments, so it's advisable to conduct thorough testing and analysis before integrating it into a trading strategy.
PER Bands (Auto EPS)PER Bands Indicator - Technical Specification
Function
This PineScript v6 overlay indicator displays horizontal price bands based on Price-to-Earnings Ratio multiples. The indicator calculates price levels by multiplying earnings per share values by user-defined PER multiples, then plots these levels as horizontal lines on the chart.
Data Sources
The script attempts to automatically retrieve earnings per share data using TradingView's `request.financial()` function. The system first queries trailing twelve months EPS data, then annual EPS data if TTM is unavailable. When automatic retrieval fails or returns zero values, the indicator uses manually entered EPS values as a fallback.
Configuration Options
Users can configure five separate PER multiples (default values: 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x). Each band supports individual color customization and adjustable line width settings from 1 to 5 pixels. The indicator includes toggles for band visibility and optional fill areas between adjacent bands with 95% transparency.
Visual Components
The indicator plots five horizontal lines representing different PER valuation levels. Optional fill areas create colored zones between consecutive bands. A data table in the top-right corner displays current EPS source, EPS value, current PER ratio, and calculated price levels for each configured multiple.
Calculation Method
The indicator performs the following calculations:
- Band Price = Current EPS × PER Multiple
- Current PER = Current Price ÷ Current EPS
These calculations update on each bar close using the most recent available EPS data.
Alert System
The script includes alert conditions for price crossovers above the lowest PER band and crossunders below the highest PER band. Additional alert conditions can be configured for any band level through the alert creation interface.
Debug Features
Debug mode displays character markers on the chart indicating when TTM or annual EPS data is available. This feature helps users verify which data source the indicator is using for calculations.
Data Requirements
The indicator requires positive, non-zero EPS values to function correctly. Stocks with negative earnings or zero EPS will display "N/A" for current PER calculations, though bands will still plot using the manual EPS input value.
Exchange Compatibility
Automatic EPS data availability varies by exchange. United States equity markets typically provide comprehensive fundamental data coverage. International markets may have limited automatic data availability, requiring manual EPS input for accurate calculations.
Technical Limitations
The indicator cannot fetch real-time EPS updates and relies on TradingView's fundamental data refresh schedule. Historical EPS changes are not reflected in past band positions, as the indicator uses current EPS values for all historical calculations.
Display Settings
The information table shows EPS source type (TTM Auto, Annual Auto, Manual, or Manual Fallback), allowing users to verify data accuracy. The table refreshes only on the last bar to optimize performance and reduce computational overhead.
Code Structure
Built using PineScript v6 syntax with proper scope management for plot and fill functions. The script uses global scope for all plot declarations and conditional logic within plot parameters to handle visibility settings.
Version Requirements
This indicator requires TradingView Pine Script version 6 or later due to the use of `request.financial()` functions and updated syntax requirements for plot titles and fill operations.

This indicator combines the classic Bollinger Bands with enhanced customization options, allowing traders to fine-tune the settings according to their specific strategies.
Key Features:
Moving Average Flexibility: Choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or Weighted Moving Average (WMA) as the central basis for the Bollinger Bands. This flexibility allows you to align the indicator with your preferred method of trend analysis.

Customizable Colors: The mid-band, upper bands, and lower bands can be fully customized in terms of color, allowing you to personalize the visual representation of the indicator on your charts.
Dynamic Transparency: The space between the outer Bollinger Bands can be filled with a customizable transparent color, making it easy to visualize price movements within the bands.
Alerts for Crossovers: Alerts are triggered whenever the price crosses above the upper band or below the lower band, giving you timely notifications of potential breakout or breakdown scenarios.
Overbought/Oversold Visualization: The background of the chart changes color when the price crosses above the upper band (indicating overbought conditions) or below the lower band (indicating oversold conditions), providing a visual cue to help you identify market extremes.
Labeling for Significant Events: Labels appear on the chart whenever the price crosses the upper or lower bands, helping you quickly identify key moments for further analysis.
