Indicator: MegaGas Bollinger Bands with Divergence and Circle Signals This script provides a powerful combination of Bollinger Bands, RSI Divergence detection, and signal visualization tools. Designed with flexibility and precision in mind, it aims to assist traders in identifying trend reversals, volatility zones, and divergence-based trading opportunities. The script is well-suited for swing trading, momentum trading, and even scalping when adapted to lower timeframes.
How It Works: Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are used to detect price volatility and overbought/oversold conditions. The script calculates:
Basis Line: A 34-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the core trend line. Upper Bands: Bands positioned 1x and 2x the standard deviation above the SMA. Lower Bands: Bands positioned 1x and 2x the standard deviation below the SMA. These levels provide dynamic support and resistance zones, highlighting breakout and reversion opportunities. RSI Divergence Detection: The indicator detects bullish divergence (when RSI forms a higher low while price forms a lower low) and bearish divergence (when RSI forms a lower high while price forms a higher high). These divergences often precede significant reversals or momentum shifts.
Bullish divergence is displayed with blue triangles (up). Bearish divergence is displayed with orange triangles (down). Buy and Sell Signals:
Circle Signals are generated when price crosses key Bollinger Bands levels: A green circle appears when the price crosses above the lower band (potential buy signal). A red circle appears when the price crosses below the upper band (potential sell signal). These signals help identify potential entry and exit points for trades, particularly in trend-following or mean-reversion strategies. Trend Reference (Moving Average): A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is included as a trend reference, helping traders gauge the overall market direction. Use this to confirm divergence signals and avoid trades against the prevailing trend.
Why This Indicator Is Unique: This script integrates multiple tools in a meaningful way, emphasizing contextual trading signals. Unlike standalone Bollinger Bands or RSI indicators, it introduces:
Advanced Divergence Analysis: Enhancing traditional RSI with divergence-based alerts. Dynamic Signal Filtering: Preventing repetitive signals by introducing state-based logic for circles and divergence signals. Trend Alignment: Combining Bollinger Bands with an SMA to filter trades based on the prevailing trend. How to Use: Setup:
Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe. For swing trading, higher timeframes like 4H or 1D are recommended. Adjust the RSI, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Average lengths to match your strategy and asset. Signals:
Look for divergence signals (triangles) as early warnings of trend reversals. Confirm these with price action or other tools. Use circle signals (green/red) to time potential entries/exits around Bollinger Band extremes. Confirmation:
Combine divergence and circle signals with the SMA line to avoid counter-trend trades. For example, take bullish signals when the price is above the SMA and bearish signals when it is below. Chart Clarity: The script is published with a clean chart for clarity. It visualizes all signals with distinct shapes (triangles and circles) and colors, ensuring they are easily recognizable. Bollinger Bands and the SMA are plotted with transparency to avoid clutter.
Originality: This script is a thoughtful blend of Bollinger Bands and RSI divergence detection, carefully designed to provide traders with actionable insights. It introduces state-based logic to manage repetitive signals and seamlessly integrates trend filtering, making it a valuable tool for both novice and experienced traders.
