Bollinger Blast Buy Unholy GrailThis strategy copy the Nick Radge's trading ideas for a profitable systems. He mentions a Bollinger Band idea which is also published in his book Unholy Grails. Nick says:
he strategy that we did test and showed very promising results was an entry using a Bollinger band and an exit using the opposite Bollinger band, but we use 3 standard deviations for the entry and 1 standard deviation for the exit, just to keep the trailing stop a little bit tighter.”
Entry: Buy on the Open the day after a stock closes above the top Bollinger Band
Exit: Exit on the Open the day after a stock closes below the lower Bollinger Band
Results tested on Nasdaq market are very good and better than simply buy& hold

Reversal with Bollinger Bands + RSI + ADX + ATR (Upgraded)Hi,
Welcome to my 4th script.
Someone asked me some questions about the Bollinger Band strategy I previously published. When I went back to my published script I couldn't help myself but simply try and make it better. Which I did.
Since I've published that script, I've gained much more knowledge about how Pinescript functions. As well as gaining more and more knowledge about how the markets are structered etc.
In this reversal script we use 4 indicators to determine good entry signals, we determine whether the market is ranging or trending and we still only want to take trades in the direction of the "trend".
Bollinger Bands are used for our entry signal. When price hits either side of the band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we enter a position.
RSI is used to determine if we're in a trending market or in a ranging market. You can adjust the values in the inputs. You can determine the minimum RSI value and the maximum RSI value.
ADX is used the same way as RSI, you can adjust the value in the inputs. You can determine the minimum ADX value.
Last but not least we use two EMA's, a 200 EMA and 100 EMA. Both are adjustable through the inputs. I used two EMA's because I noticed when using this strategy that we'd enter a new position often after having a bad trade. Using two EMA's might clean up some signals, in my case with EUR/USD on a 15m timeframe, it didn't clean up enough signals.
All the default values are pretty decent but might require some finetuning on a certain instrument. Don't overfit the strategy though, that'll only give you bad signals in the future.
Then we are off to our exit signals.
Initially I wanted to incorporate my previous Bollinger Band exit signals as well, but it was too much of a hassle to make the script work as intended so I left it out. If you want to use those exit signals, just find my other script.
When we're in a position and price crosses the opposite band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we exit the position.
Additionally we want our losses to be as small as possible, so we use RSI to signal us when the market is, or starts to, trend against us. This is where you use the minimum and maximum exit values. So when RSI crosses over or under that value, it'll exit the position.
Furthermore, we use the ATR indicator to set our stop loss, which is pretty basic stuff. You can adjust the ATR multiplier in the inputs. Disabling "Use Trailing Stop?" is really inadvisable unless you know this script inside out as your only exit signals will be opposite Bollinger Band Cross and RSI overbought / oversold areas.

[KL] Bollinger Bands Consolidation StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position based on the volatility of prices implied by indicators of (a) Bollinger bands, and (b) ATR.
Application of Bollinger bands ("BOLL")
Using plain vanilla settings for BOLL (i.e. 20 period moving average, and 2 standard deviations of closing prices), we are interested to know about the shape of the area that is bounded by the upper and lower bands.
In theory, consolidation happens when volatility of price decreases. Visually speaking, this is represented by the narrowing of the upper/lower bands. This strategy considers the narrowing of BOLL bands as the primary indicator for long-entry.
Application of ATRs (as confirmations)
Firstly, to confirm that BOLL bands are narrowing (as mentioned above), the ATR at a potential point of entry is compared against the standard deviation of prices over BOLL's lookback periods. Once again, visualizing the shape of BOLL bands during consolidation, we assume the lines begin to squeeze when the distance between the center line and upper/lower band is less than two current ATRs.
Secondly, this strategy looks into the moving average of ATRs to assure that prices are not too choppy when entering into market. If the moving average of ATR decreases at a point in time such that all the above conditions are met, then we can assert that the volatility of price is decreasing.
Thirdly, ATR is used for determining the size of our trailing stop loss. We will keep the multiplier fixed at two.
VWAP-Bollinger BandsThis script uses Bollinger bands but with a VWAP as the source, it uses the high crossing the upper band as a buy signal and a low crossing the lower band as a sell signal
Its default settings are for a day chart - Crypto 30 periods, forex 24 periods and stocks 20 periods, which basically line up with a month per asset class
ive seen good results in crypto and stocks, settings used between1% and 10% equity per trade with a 0.1% fee which lines up with Binance fee structure and $25 per trade which lines up with Commsec on the ASX
Bollinger Bands strategy with RSI and MACD v1.0 This is a strategy based on the Bollinger Bands, where buy trades are made when the price crosses the lower line of the Bollinger Bands upwards, and sell trades are made when the price crosses the upper line downwards.
In addition, it is possible through the inputs to enable trading with RSI and MACD, so that buy or sell trades are supported by these two indicators.
Trades are partially and fully closed in the following way, a buy trade will close half of the position when the price touches the middle line of the Bollinger bands and will be fully closed when the price touches the upper band. In the case of a sell position, half of the position will be closed if the price touches the middle band and the entire position will be closed when the price touches the lower band. Alternatively, a fixed take profit can be placed. In case the price moves against us, trailing stops can be placed.
In case of selecting to use RSI, MACD, or MACD variation, trades will be executed as long as The Bollinger Bands, and all the above-mentioned indicators give the same signals, either buy or sell.
For example in the case of selecting only Use RSI, buy trades would be made as long as RSI and BB give buy signals.
Strategy inputs:
-BB source: Bollinger Bands price source.
-Bollinger Bands SMA length: Bollinger Bands simple moving average length.
-Bollinger Bands StdDev length: Bollinger Bands standard deviation length.
-Trail Long Loss (%): Distance in percentage at which the stop loss will initially be placed for buy trades.
-Trail Short Loss (%): Distance in percentage at which the stop loss will be initially placed for sell trades.
-Maximum orders: Maximum of simultaneous operations, for example, if it is 3, up to 3 parallel operations of buy and up to 3 parallel operations of sell will be carried out.
-Position size: Number of contracts per trade.
-Use RSI: If selected, the strategy will also trade based on oversold or overbought signals provided by the RSI.
-RSI source: RSI price source.
-RSI period: The RSI period to use.
-RSI value for buy: If the RSI is below this value, it will give a buy signal.
-RSI value for sell: If the RSI value is above this value, it will give a sell signal.
-Use MACD: If selected, buy trades will be made when the MACD crosses 0 upwards, and sell trades will be made when the MACD crosses 0 downwards.
-Use MACD variation: Only available if MACD is previously selected. In this case, buy trades are made if the MACD value in the last 3 candles has been decreasing, and sell trades are made if the MACD value has been increasing.
-MACD source: MACD price source.
-MACD fast length: MACD fast EMA lenght.
-MACD slow length: MACD slow EMA lenght.
-MACD signal length: MACD signal EMA lenght.
-Use maximum TP long: If selected, a fixed take profit will be placed for buy trades. The position could be closed before reaching this take profit if the price touches one of the lower or upper lines first.
-Maximum take profit long (%): Distance in percentage at which the take profit will be placed for buy trades.
-Use maximum TP short: if selected, a fixed take profit will be placed for sell trades. The position could be closed before reaching this take profit if the price touches one of the lower or upper lines first.
-Maximum take profit short (%): Distance in percentage at which the take profit will be set for sell trades.
I hope you like it and as always all feedback is welcome.

Bollinger Bands Trending Reverse StrategyWelcome to yet another script. This script was a lot easier since I was stuck for so long on the Donchian Channels one and learned so much from that one that I could use in this one.
This code should be a lot cleaner compared to the Donchian Channels, but we'll leave that up to the pro's.
This strategy has two entry signals, long = when price hits lower band, while above EMA, previous candle was bearish and current candle is bullish.
Short = when price hits upper band, while below EMA, previous candle was bullish and current candle is bearish.
Take profits are the opposite side's band(lower band for long signals, upper band for short signals). This means our take profit price will change per bar.
Our stop loss doesn't change, it's the difference between entry price and the take profit target divided by the input risk reward.
3Commas Bollinger StrategyThis strategy is intended for use as a way of backtesting various parameters available on 3commas.io composite bot using a bollinger band type trading strategy. While it's primary intention is to provide users a way of backtesting bot parameters, it can also be used to trigger a deal start by either using the {{strategy.open.alert_message}} field in your alert and providing the bot details in the configuration screen for the strategy or by including the usual deal start message provided by 3commas. You can find more information about how to do this from help.3commas.io
The primary inputs for the strategy are:
// USER INPUTS
Short MA Window - The length of the Short moving average
Long MA Window - The length of the Long moving average
Upper Band Offset - The offset to use for the upper bollinger offset
Lower Band Offset - The offset to use for the lower bollinger offset
Long Stop Loss % - The stop loss percentage to test
Long Take Profit % - The Take profit percentage to test
Initial SO Deviation % - The price deviation percentage required to place to first safety order
Safety Order Vol Step % - The volume scale to test
3Commas Bot ID - (self explanatory)
Bot Email Token - Found in the deal start message for your bot (see link in previous section for details)
3Commas Bot Trading Pair - The pair to include for composite bot start deals (should match format of 3commas, not TradingView IE. USDT_BTC not BTCUSDT)
Start Date, Month, Year and End Date, Month and Year all apply to the backtesting window. By default it will use as much data as it can given the current period select (there is less historical data available for periods below 1H) back as far as 2016 (there appears to be no historical data on Trading view much before this). If you would like to test a different period of time, just change these values accordingly.
Known Issues
Currently there are a couple of issues with this strategy that you should be aware of. I may fix them at some point in the future but they don't really bug me so this is more for informational purposes than a promise that they may one day be fixed.
Does not test trailing take profit
Number of safety orders and Safety Order Step Scale are currently not user configurable (must edit source code)
Using the user configuration to generate deal start message assumes you are triggering a composite bot, not a simple bot.
[KL] BOLL + MACD Strategy v2 (published)This strategy will look for opportunities when price touches the lower Bollinger band, then enters Long when it anticipates a MACD crossover signal.
Setup: on 1-day chart interval
Exits when either (a) hitting trailing stop loss, or (b) meeting risk-to-reward, if defined by user.
Risk Reduction Ultimate TemplateThis is a template not actually meant for trading. I picked two random oscillators. This is a template meant to turn into a live trading strategy, however.
It's literally just a specialized take profit/stop loss system. It is to ensure your bot doesn't make any bad moves that you wouldn't have manually. The code should be pretty well annotated. Putting this into my scripts has made them much better. I will work on a Multiple Trigger template next.
Flawless Victory Strategy - 15min BTC Machine Learning StrategyHello everyone, I am a heavy Python programmer bringing machine learning to TradingView. This 15 minute Bitcoin Long strategy was created using a machine learning library and 1 year of historical data in Python. Every parameter is hyper optimized to bring you the most profitable buy and sell signals for Bitcoin on the 15min chart. The historical Bitcoin data was gathered from Binance API, in case you want to know the best exchange to use this long strategy. It is a simple Bollinger Band and RSI strategy with two versions included in the tradingview settings. The first version has a Sharpe Ratio of 7.5 which is amazing, and the second version includes the best stop loss and take profit positions with a Sharpe Ratio of 2.5 . Let me talk a little bit more about how the strategy works. The buy signal is triggered when close price is less than lower Bollinger Band at Std Dev 1, and the RSI is greater than a certain value. The sell signal is triggered when close price is greater than upper Bollinger Band at Std Dev 1, and the RSI is greater than a certain value. What makes this strategy interesting is the parameters the Machine Learning library found when backtesting for the best Sharpe Ratio. I left my computer on for about 28 hours to fully backtest 5000 EPOCHS and get the results. I was able to create a great strategy that might be one of TradingView's best strategies out on the website today. I will continue to apply machine learning to all my strategies from here on forward. Please Let me know if you have any questions or certain strategies you would like me to hyper optimize for you. I'm always willing to create profitable strategies!
P.S. You can always pyramid this strategy for more gains! I just don't add pyramiding when creating my strategies because I want to show you the true win/loss ratio based buying one time and one selling one time. I feel like when creating a strategy that includes pyramiding right off the bat falsifies the win rate. This is my way of being transparent with you all. Have fun trading!

Bollinger Band with RSI
Using combination bollinger band and RSI indicator as guide to predict price volatility and the best entry point. The strategy logic is pretty straightforward where we're interested with close price that touches the lower bollinger band ; there are only two scenarios that will happened after the price reaches the lower band; the price might rebound from the lower bollinger band or drop lower and continue downtrend. To confirm the price movement, we use a second indicator which is the RSI to further investigate the price trend. For example, if the price reaches the lower bollinger band but the RSI value is not in the oversold region, we can conclude that the price will go lower and continue downtrend. If the RSI value is in the oversold region, we can use this price area as our entry point.
Stop loss is necessary to avoid losing too much capital if the RSI value lingers too long in the oversold region.
Best take profit area is when the price rebound above the middle bollinger band area/upper bollinger band or when the RSI reaches overbought region; whichever comes first.
Long entry:
RSI < 30 & close price < lower bollinger band
Exit entry:
RSI > 70
Default stop loss: -25%
LAGging span leaves Bollinger Bands strategyAbstract
This script points out the positions a lagging span leaves a Bollinger Band.
This script does not plot a lagging span but moves the Bollinger Band forward.
You can find profit opportunities by combining this script and risk management.
Introduction
Bollinger Bands is a popular indicator.
It contains a moving average, an upper band and a lower band.
The moving average can indicate trend, the upper band and the lower band can indicate if the price is far away from the moving average.
However, in trading markets, anything can happen.
Both continuation and reversal are possible when the price touches the moving average, the upper band or the lower band.
Therefore, many traders adjust the parameters of the Bollinder Band or add other indicators to improve their trading strategies.
@Daveatt et. al. provided an idea that uses a lagging span.
A lagging span is a line chart. It displays the reference price but in earlier time.
For example, if the offset of a lagging span is 26 days, the value of the lagging span on 29 days ago is the reference price 3 days ago.
A lagging span is a part of Ichimoku Cloud.
It can compare the price to the earlier price and the values of indicators in the past.
To compare the price to the values of indicators in the past, we can also shift indicators forward instead of adding a lagging span into the chart.
This script uses shift-the-indicators-forward method.
In other words, this script plots the Bollinger Band forward so that the price can be compared to the values of the Bollinger Band in the past.
Computing and Adjusting
(1) Compute Moving Average
(2) Compute Standard Derivation
(3) Upper Band = Moving Average + Standard Derivation * Multi
(4) Lower Band = Moving Average - Standard Derivation * Multi
(5) Shift the Bollinger Band forward according to the offset parameter.
(6) Mark the points the price leaves the shifted Bollinger Band
(7) Compute the most possible loss and profit before the next opposite signal.
Parameters
source : the data for computing the bollinger band. can be open, high, low, close or their combination.
length : how many days are calculated by the bollinger band
mult : the distance from the moving average to the upper band and the distance from the moving average to the upper band is equal to ( mult * standard derivation ) .
x_offset : the offset of the lagging span
Conclusion
This script can find signals for potential breakout or trend continuation.
If you want to use this signal well, you need to know when to cut loss and protect the profit.

Advanced Bollinger Bands StrategyAdvanced Bollinger Bands Strategy
Why is it an advanced Bollinger Bands Strategy?
The purpose of Bollinger Bands is to provide a relative definition of high and low prices of a market. By definition, prices are high at the upper band and low at the lower band. This definition can aid in rigorous pattern recognition and is useful in comparing price action to the action of indicators to arrive at systematic trading decisions. Adding a Moving Average filter which only allows trades if MA and Price are outside of the BB increases the probability of profitable trades with the sacrifice of a lower trade-frequency.
Inputs for Bollinger Bands
-> BB Source
-> BB Length
-> BB Multiplier
-> Moving Average Period
-> Moving Average Source
-> Strategy Condition Options:
-> Exit Trades if Price crosses Basis Line
-> Enable Moving Average Filter
BB+K strategyApplying Bollinger Bands and K-bar strategies
Suitable for long time periods
Suitable for forex trading, when the forex deviation is too large, the Fed will intervene and thus correct
Strategy: Enter when the price hits the upper or lower BB track and there is a reversal of the strong signal, and exit when it hits the other track and there is a reversal signal.
Vegas Tunnel strategyApply Vegas Tunnel,
Use EMA144 169 as medium-term trend support
Also use EMA 576 676 and 4 multiples of 144 and 169 as long-term support and trend direction
Also increase EMA 36 43 as a short-term trend support
Suitable for stocks, indices, commodities
The applicable time scale can back-test the usability of the strategy by itself, and select the most applicable target
Introduction to current trading strategy:
According to the trend, the price will enter the market when it touches the support of each stage. When it touches the bollinger bands, it is Squeeze. Hold until it leaves the bollinger bands
But the trading strategy can be more optimized, see the code for details
BBofVWAP with entry at Pivot PointThis strategy uses BB of VWAP and Pivot point to enter and exit the Long position.
settings
BB length 50
BB Source VWAP
Entry
When VWAP crossing up BB midline and price/close is above weekly PivotPoint ( you can also use Daily pivot point )
Exit
When VWAP is crossing down BB lower band
Stop Loss
Stop loss defaulted to 5%
Note : Long will position will be exited on either VWAP crossing down BB lower band or stop loss is hit - whichever comes first . Being said that some time your stop loss exit is less than 5% which saves from more losses.
Entry is based on weekly Pivot point , so any time frame below weekly will work perfect. I have tested t on 30 min , 1 HR , 4 Hr , Daily charts. Even weekly setting shows good results , that will work for long term investing style.
if you change Pivot period to Daily , chose time frames below Daily.
I also noticed this strategy mostly do not enter Long position in a down trend. Even it finds one , it will be exited with minimal loss.
Warning

Bollinger %B Candles StrategyStrategy built based on earlier published indicator:
Looks to be doing good for short term swing trades. But, I am not sure if there is repainting. I tried to avoid buy/sell trades on same day - but wasn't successful.
So far back-tested on following:
COINBASE:BTCUSD - works on both long and short
CURRENCYCOM:GOLD and equities - long only.
Some of the failures: ASX:WPL , ASX:WHC , ASX:NHC
As usual for back-testing - using 1000 as initial capital with 100% invested on each trade and no compounding so that it will be easy to compare with buy and hold. Trade with caution :)
