// Welcome 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 which is set on entering a position
// At the time of writing this, I could probably calculate that much easier by simply multiplying the opposite band by the input risk reward ratio
// Since I want to get this script out and working on the next one, I won't clean that up, I'm sorry

Overview
Bollinger Bands Trending Reverse Strategy enters long when price touches the lower band above the EMA and a bearish candle is followed by a bullish candle, and enters short on the mirrored upper-band setup. Exits use the opposite band as a take-profit limit that updates each bar, with a fixed stop derived from the entry, that band, and the risk-reward input. Band length, deviation, EMA length, reward ratio, and plot offset are adjustable. It opens only one position at a time.
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 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 strategy identifies shorting opportunities by calculating Fear and Greed zones based on price extremums relative to moving averages and standard deviation bands. It measures price deviation from recent highs or lows to detect extreme market conditions and
This strategy adjusts position sizing through a dynamic 3x3 risk matrix that factors ADX trend strength against ATR volatility relative to its SMA. It applies the chosen risk appetite and base risk percentage to compute equity-based lot sizes using ATR-derived
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
