Volatility Support Resistance Indicator

  Hello everyone here Ivan Donatiello,

  I am studying Kirk Northington’s book “Volatility-Based Technical Analysis: Strategies for Trading the Invisible” 2009 USA.

  I am intrigued about an indicator called N Bande, but the code is the owner of MetaStock.

  However I created a variant that gives me good triggers using the Bollinger Bands. The indicator I want to create must do the following.

  1. Create a horizontal line when today’s Bollinger + is lower than yesterday’s bolligenger +.
  2. Create 3 liene that have the value of the 10-period ATR, subtracting from the value of point 1.

  The exact opposite for Bollinger -.

  Each time a new condition is created, as in point 1, the line must be updated, while keeping the old values on the graph history. It should appear a broken leena the most important values are the most recent.

  Below is an image to start with.

  Thank you all

  Remind me these topics:

  https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/newbie-coding-request-bb-sr/

  https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/bands-n-metastock/

  Your version/interpretation of this indicator is easier to code.

  So, each time the condition 1 is met, we update the whole lines calculation? right?

  Yes Nicolas, whenever the condition occurs 1, we update the R1. The same thing for the S1 for the Bolloger –

  Study the topics that you have link to me 🙂

  Ok, so this is the indicator that plot the upper and lower bollinger bands as support/resistance lines when they quit the expansion phase (phase 2). Other lines are calculated with an ATR 10 periods. Sometimes lines are overlapping and it is a bit confusing IMO.

  Thanks Nicolas 🙂

  Then the indicator worked well but it gave a delay period. In addition, the Bollinger caused the price to go out of the volatility bands too often, so I tried using bands built by linear regression. It seems that they work well. Below are the two codes and the screeshot.

  Bands of volatility equal to the bollinger but with the measure of central tendency linear regression:

  It would be nice to combine in a single indicator, but even so it’s more than good 🙂

  Below is the screenshot. Note I put the invisible central blind.

  Change the last line of your indicator by this one and you’ll have an “all-in-one” indi.

  return r1 coloured(200,200,0) style(line,2) as "r1", rr2 coloured(100,100,100) style(dottedline,1) as "r2", r3 coloured(100,100,100) style(dottedline,1) as "r3", r4 coloured(100,100,100) style(dottedline,1) as "r4", s1 coloured(200,200,0) style(line,2) as "s1", s2 coloured(100,100,100) style(dottedline,1) as "s2", s3 coloured(100,100,100) style(dottedline,1) as "s3", s4 coloured(100,100,100) style(dottedline,1) as "s4", upper, lower

  This is my final version. I made some changes because I saw that volatility changes affect both the compressions and the expansions.

  So the inidator treats supports and resistance on the expansion returns, in the same way supports and resistance on the beginning of volatility expansion.

  It would be nice to be able to put the names to the supports and resistors, example above or to finaco to the line S1, S2, R1, R2 etc. but I do not know how to do it 🙂

  Could you give some explanation about how this indicator is used ? Is he part of a trading method described in the book ?

  A question, sorry for the in-experience. But if we program an indicator that is similar to an owner, as in this case, is it a violation of copyright?

  Otherwise, delete everything immediately!

  We are absolutely not violating copyright here, and as I said your code is not near to the original version. If we can’t plot lines on a chart based on standard deviation from a mean, because someone already did it in a book, well .. a lot of codes around here should de deleted also 🙂

  The strategy is based on the mathematics of volatility. One method that you find in the book of the post above, is 500 pages of stuff difficult to answer so quickly.
