Overview
Bollinger Bands Strategy (MA type) generates long entry stop orders when price crosses above the lower band and short entry stop orders when price crosses below the upper band. Users can adjust the smoothing period, standard deviation multiplier, and moving average calculation type to refine signal sensitivity. There are no built-in exit target or stop loss rules.
11 selectable moving average types for band basis calculation
Bollinger Bands calculation with customizable standard deviation
Long and short entry triggers based on band crossovers
Includes Tillson T3, ZLEMA, Hull, and VAR calculations
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.

This mean-reversion strategy plots Bollinger Bands and a long-term moving average directly on the price chart. It enters trades when price candles penetrate the outer Bollinger Bands beyond a user-defined body percentage, anticipating a price reversal. Entries
This overlay strategy targets one-minute ES futures and plots volume-weighted moving-average bands from the open, scaled by a standard-deviation multiple, plus a slower band from ten-minute opens. A higher-timeframe exponential moving average can filter trades
STRG-BBForce is a Bollinger Bands trend-following strategy. It calculates standard Bollinger Bands and tracks directional alignment across the upper, lower, and basis lines. When all three lines slope upward, it opens a long position and closes short positions
This strategy generates buy and sell signals based on Bollinger Band crossovers combined with a simple moving average trend filter. It enters a long position when price crosses above the lower band while trading above the SMA filter line, and enters a short po
This overlay strategy combines a Chandelier Exit with a zero-lag least squares moving average. Although the header mentions Heikin Ashi candles, the calculations use ordinary closes. An ATR trailing stop sets long and short levels, and direction flips when pri
This overlay strategy looks for long pullbacks in an established uptrend. It requires the short entry EMA to sit above the trend EMA by a minimum slope, price to stay within a set pullback of that short EMA, and close to remain above a fixed 60-period EMA. It
