BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
• BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
• BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
• EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
• EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
• ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
• Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
• Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
• Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
• ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
• ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
• ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
• Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
• Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
• Bias flips kept. Array depth
• Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
• Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

Buying Selling Volume StrategyFirst I would like to give the original credit and thanks to @ceyhun for his amazing volume script.
The way I decided to convert it into a strategy is divided into multiple types.
First, I decided in order to smooth out the values and make it more accurate to adapt the values to multiple timeframes.
After that I took the initial values from the buyers and sellers , and made a rest operation between them to have a flat difference between the power of both sides.
WIth that later on I decided to to apply a volatility filter,in this case bollinger bands, in order to find out potential leading trends.
At the same time in order to filter even more, I decided to make use as well for weekly VWAP values of the asset used.
Lastly I added a dynamic risk management into it , based on the ATR Daily values of the asset values.
As for the rules used, for example for long, I am looking that the price of the asset is above the weekly VWAP, after that I am checking that the MTF volume rest operation is both bullish and above the upper side of the bollinger.
For short we would want the asset to be below the weekly VWAP, and the volume to be bearish and above the upper side of bollinger.
The exit is either based on daily ATR values multipliers, or if we have a reverse condition.
If you have any questions, please let me know !
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

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
Long only strategy VWAP with BB and Golden Cross EMA50/200
This is strategy, mainly designed for stock markets
It makes uses of the EMA 50/ 200 ( Golden cross) and VWAP and Bollinger bands.
It only takes long positions. It can be adapted to all time frames, but preferably to be used with longer timeframes 1h +
The rules for entry are the next ones :
1. EMA50 > EMA 200
2. if current close > vwap session value
3. check if price dipped BB lower band for any of last 10 candles
EXIT RULE
1. price closes above BB upper
STOP LOSS EXIT
1. As configured --- default is set to 1%
Easy System 420In this strategy, 15 indicators are used, each giving its results as a numerical value, which then is added or subtracted from the total points, gathered from all 15 indicators.
Many thanks to RafaelZioni for his great work making the EasySys1 script which i modified to create this script.
Onchart is drawn some of the indicators, but not all, a info panel is drawn showing the value each indicator has calculated. The info panel can be turned on or off.
Many of the indicator settings can be changed by user, and this is recommended, to tune the strategy to users chosen pair/timeframe.
Therefore any pair or timeframe can be used, the strategy tester results showing possible results, remember to set commission to match your broker. example chart settings here have common crypto exchange commission value: 0.25%

WOMBO COMBO: EMA & VWAP & MACD & BB & STCHello my fellow investors,
After hours of reading, backtesting, and YouTube video watching I discovered that EMA, VWAP, BB, MACD, and STC produce the most consistent results for investment planning. This strategy allows you to pick between the aforementioned indicators or layer them together.
It works on the pricipal of:
1) Always follow the market trend - buy/sell above/below 200EMA
2) Follow corporate investing trends - buy/sell above/below VWAP
3) Apply MACD check - buy--> MACD line above signal line and corssover below histogram \\ sell --> MACD line below signal line and crossover above histogram.
4) Check volitility with price against BB limits upper/Sell or lower/buy
5) When STC crosses about 10 buy and when it drops below 90 sell
6) Exit position when stop loss is triggered or profit target is hit. BB also provides a parameter to exit positions.
This code is the product of many hours of hard work on the part of the greater tradingview community. The credit goes to everyone in the community who has put code out there for the greater good.
Strategy MACD vs BBStrategy based on MACD and Bollinger Bands, where BBs are calculatend from macd signal.
Strategy doesn't open at breakout of bands but it waits for a pullback.
Upper and lower bands are used as resistance and support.
There are various parameters that can be optimized.
I have also a study with alerts.
Please use comment section for any feedback or cointact me if you need support.
EVWBB Strategy [QuantNomad]It's my new strategy using EVWMA (Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average).
Now I created a Bollinger Bands strategy where basis level is EVWMA.
It looks pretty interesting but you have to be careful with the entries/exits on the same bar, I'm using stop orders, so on big moves it happens pretty often.
In the next version, I will try to eliminate these issues.
Entry for this strategy happens when price crossover upper for long and lower for short. I exit both short and long on basis level.

BB+STOCH RSI v2Developed for one of my followers.
The basic idea is that the buy signal is generated by stoch and bb.
However, If price hits the upper line or trend return crossing under midline, the strategy closes the position.
DPD+RSI+BB Combination of DPD ,STOCHRSI and RSI indicators. Be careful for percantage selection to fit your candle size.
Single SMA cross with BB StrategyThis is a light weight code and strategy. I tuned it for NZDUSD on a 15 min chart. NZDUSD is a slow moving low volatility pair. A single SMA cross over + crossing a .9 BB + the single SMA is increasing. I will be manually trading this with alerts and once I have LUA down I will set it free with FXCM and see what it can do on it own.
** I use BB as a means of seeing momentum to continue gaining not as a reversal signal.
