HTFBands

2 Eki

█ OVERVIEW

  Contains type and methods for drawing higher-timeframe bands of several types:

• Bollinger bands
  
• Parabolic SAR
  
• Supertrend
  
• VWAP
  

  By copy pasting ready made code sections to your script you can add as many multi-timeframe bands as necessary.

█ HOW TO USE

  Please see instructions in the code. (Important: first fold all sections of the script: press Cmd + K then Cmd + - (for Windows Ctrl + K then Ctrl + -)

█ FULL LIST OF FUNCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

atr2(length)
  An alternate ATR function to the `ta.atr()` built-in, which allows a "series float"
`length` argument.

  Returns: (float) The ATR value.

pine_supertrend2(factor, atrLength, wicks)
  An alternate SuperTrend function to `supertrend()`, which allows a "series float"
`atrLength` argument.
  Parameters:
    factor (float): (series int/float) Multiplier for the ATR value.
    atrLength (float): (series int/float) Length for the ATR smoothing parameter calculation.
    wicks (simple bool): (simple bool) Condition to determine whether to take candle wicks into account when
reversing trend, or to use the close price. Optional. Default is false.
