Stochastic + Keltner Channels for ScalpingSimple arrow indicator, indicating the direction go the next slight movement. This indicator will work on any time frame or market.
How does this indicator work?
It will use Stochastic and Keltner Channels to detect potential reversals depending on the frequency you choose in the indicator's settings. The higher the frequency, the fewer candles will be used in the calculation.
When to use this indicator?
It will work better in higher time frames for low volatility indicators. You can mix with other indicators like RSI or ADX. This way, you will be able to check if the time selected frame has enough volatility to move the price enough to cover the spreads and fees of your broker.
When to exit the trade after the signal from this indicator?
A good target would be for 1x ATR value and stop-loss 2x the ATR value. Doing trailing stop will reduce your risk and secure some profits, but make sure to use values for possible fakeouts
Can this indicator be used alone as the main source of entry signal for the trades?
You can use it alone, but I recommend mixing with other trend-based indicators, like Moving Averages, so you get the best results. Since it's for scalping purposes, small moments, and reversals, it doesn't have the trend filter, but it can work trading in favor of a significant trend as well

K's Volatility BandsVolatility bands come in all shapes and forms contrary to what is believed. Bollinger bands remain the principal indicator in the volatility bands family. K's Volatility bands is an attempt at optimizing the original bands. Below is the method of calculation:
* We must first start by calculating a rolling measure based on the average between the highest high and the lowest low in the last specified lookback window. This will give us a type of moving average that tracks the market price. The specificity here is that when the market does not make higher highs nor lower lows, the line will be flat. A flat line can also be thought of as a magnet of the price as the ranging property could hint to a further sideways movement.
* The K’s volatility bands assume the worst with volatility and thus will take the maximum volatility for a given lookback period. Unlike the Bollinger bands which will take the latest volatility calculation every single step of time, K’s volatility bands will suppose that we must be protected by the maximum of volatility for that period which will give us from time to time stable support and resistance levels.
Therefore, the difference between the Bollinger bands and K's volatility bands are as follows:
* Bollinger Bands' formula calculates a simple moving average on the closing prices while K's volatility bands' formula calculates the average of the highest highs and the lowest lows.
* Bollinger Bands' formula calculates a simple standard deviation on the closing prices while K's volatility bands' formula calculates the highest standard deviation for the lookback period.
Applying the bands is similar to applying any other volatility bands. We can list the typical strategies below:
* The range play strategy : This is the usual reversal strategy where we buy whenever the price hits the lower band and sell short whenever it hits the upper band.
* The band re-entry strategy : This strategy awaits the confirmation that the price has recognized the band and has shaped a reaction around it and has reintegrated the whole envelope. It may be slightly lagging in nature but it may filter out bad trades.
* Following the trend strategy : This is a controversial strategy that is the opposite of the first one. It assumes that whenever the upper band is surpassed, a buy signal is generated and whenever the lower band is broken, a sell signal is generated.
* Combination with other indicators : The bands can be combined with other technical indicators such as the RSI in order to have more confirmation. This is however no guarantee that the signals will improve in quality.
* Specific strategy on K’s volatility bands : This one is similar to the first range play strategy but it adds the extra filter where the trade has a higher conviction if the median line is flat. The reason for this is that a flat line means that no higher highs nor lower lows have been made and therefore, we may be in a sideways market which is a fertile ground for mean-reversion strategies.
Bollinger bands and Keltner bands
█ OVERVIEW
This is a Bollinger band Script, with Keltner Channel Bands and for scalping.
█ CONCEPTS
1 — Bollinger Bands, The Bollinger band component is make out from two part, the standard component represented by a white cloud.
This is the 2nd deviation and 3rd deviation filled.
The second part linear weight
This is the 2nd deviation, and is filled from the 3rd deviation from the standard bands. This give the effect of cutting in and out to proved a support and resistance cloud.
2 — Keltner bands, this is the normal calculation, nothing special, by default this is off and can be turned back on in styles.
3 Deviations with ALMA as the Basis
3 — Non-traditional basis
Like with you can change the base moving average
but to a lesser extent.
option are:
sma = Simple Moving Average
ema = Exponential Moving Average
wma = Weighted Moving Average
vwma = Volume Weighted Moving Average
rma = Running Moving Average
alma = Arnaud Legoux Moving Average
hma = Hull Moving Average
█ OTHER SECTIONS
• LIMITATIONS: again this is base on moving average so there is a lag factor, the cloud do not work without volume so if the indicator can not pull volume data you are left with the standard bands.
• NOTE this is a trimmed version of still functions the same.
• THANKS: rumpypumpydumpy for the inspiration

Keltner Center Of Gravity Channel ( KeltCOG )I have the ambition to create a ‘landscape’ which enables the user to see the ‘mood’ of the market about the price of an instrument, simply by looking where the candles go. Prices are a simple phenomenon , they go up or down or stay the same. This is represented quite well for the short term by a candle. I recommend to study candle patterns. Prices not only fluctuate but also trend up, down or go sideways. The user should analyze this by determining the COG (Center Of Gravity) and the ‘normal’ current range by using the historical data in a lookback period.
As a COG the center line of a Donchian Channel is often used. I.m.o. a COG should be a zone, in this channel I use the gray zone of my Donchian Fibonacci Channel, The ‘normal’ range is a multiple of Average True Range, as used in a Keltner Channel. Combining the two can give a cumbersome result, as one can see in my Keltner Fibonacci Channel. In this KeltCOG channel I solved this by not using all Fibonacci levels and by making the Keltner lines strictly parallel to the nearest COG line. To do this, I use the fact that the COG lines have horizontal stretches, there I make the Keltner lines horizontal too. Only where the COG lines change value, the Keltner lines are recalculated. This way the channel gets a very regular shape with three clear zones.
Interpretation of a chart by using the KeltCOG channel.
Overbought: If the candles go higher then the blue zone, the market is hyper enthusiast, creating an overbought situation. This is often followed by a reversion to the COG.
Uptrend: If the candles form in the blue zone, the market is enthusiast and willing to pay more.
Hopeful: If the candles form in or near the upper uncolored zone, the market is hopeful and is thinking about paying more. Sometimes prices go a little up.
Content: If the candles form in the gray zone, which represents COG, the market is happy with the current prices, so these move sideways
Disappointed: If the candles form in or near the lower uncolored zone, the market is disappointed and contemplates paying less, sometimes prices go a little down.
Downtrend: If the candles form in red zone, the market doesn’t like the instrument at all, rejects the current price and is only prepared to pay less.
Oversold: If the candles form below the red zone, the market overdoes its disgust, creating an oversold situation, often followed by a reversion to the COG.
HPH's SuperKeltnerThis indicator combines the Supertrend (to determine the main trend direction) with two Keltner channels (used for add and take profit signals) to construct a trend trading system.
These are the available settings:
General
UseTrendChange ➞ toggle trend change alerts and labels
UseAdds ➞ toggle add to position alerts and labels
UseTakeProfits ➞ toggle take profit alerts and labels
PrematureAdds ➞ toggle adding to position as soon as the add channels are left (default is false, so the add signal will only fire once the channels are re-entered)
PrematureTakeProfits ➞ toggle taking profit as soon as the tp channels are left (default is false, so the tp signal will only fire once the channels are re-entered)
Visualization
Show Add Keltner ➞ toggle display of the channels used for adding to the position
Show TP Keltner ➞ toggle display of the channels used for taking profit
Show SuperTrend ➞ toggle display of the Supertrend
Keltner
Standard Keltner channels settings except for the fact that there are two different multipliers. The Keltner TP Multiplier should generally be bigger than the Keltner Add Multiplier , as the channels are hit differently in trending markets. I recommend you to use the visualization settings to show the channels and adjust the settings to your liking.
Supertrend
Standard Supertrend settings, nothing to add here.
Alerts
Use the alert messages to customize what alert text the indicator will send. This makes it possible to use the script to automate trading bots.
By default, the alerts are sent after the candle has closed. This ensures that no repainting is happening. If you like the risk, you can toggle the corresponding WaitFor Confirmation if you wish to receive the signals earlier (max. once per bar).
Enjoy!
Keltner Channel - Trend Based StrategyThis strategy is based on 3 main indicators.
1st indicator is a trend indicator, which consists of SMA and EMA
2nd is Keltner Channel
3rd is DM indicator.
The conditions for the entry of this strategy are following:
First of all the assets need to be in an upward trend, this will occur when the EMA will cross SMA. The next condition for the entry is the opening and the closure of the candle. The open price of the candle should be in the upper part of the Keltner Channel and the close price should be above the Keltner channel. The third condition for the DM indicator is to be above a certain benchmakr. This benchmark can be set in the settings of the strategy.
The strategy has two potential Take Profit levels and single stop-loss levels. For the more efficient way you may try an use the trailing stop or extend the number of take-profit levels.
Williams Vix Fix BB + RVI + LinReg & Squeeze (Keltner) BBW + %BLegend:
Entery signal: When line color turns to lime (lighter green) after a blue dot appears
Exit signal: When line color turns to red (darker red) after a red dot appears
Note: it is more affective as an entry signal (Bottom is stronger)
- When line touches or crosses red band it is Top signal (Williams Vix Fix)
- When line touches or crosses blue band it is Bottom signal (Williams Vix Fix)
- Red dot at the top of indicator is a Top signal (Relative Volatility Index)
- Blue dot at the top of indicator is a Bottom signal (Relative Volatility Index)
- Gray dot at the bottom of indicator is a Keltner Squeeze signal (filtered by either BBW or %B)
- Silver dot at the bottom of indicator is a weaker Keltner Squeeze signal (Doesn't meet either BBW or %B filter)
- Purple is a 'Half Squeeze' only 1 Bollinger Band crossed the Keltner Channel
This is an attempt to make use of the main features of all 6 of these Volatility tools:
- Williams Vix Fix + Bollinger Bands
- Relative Volatility Index (RVI)
- Linear Regression (detects Vix Fix starts to rise or fall to a certain degree in order to help validate bottom/top)
Note : There is also added precision on Linear Regression entry by dividing WVF by square roots of basis.
- The crossing of Keltner Channel by the Bollinger Bands (Squeeze)
Conditions to Help Filter Keltner Squeeze:
- When the Bollinger Bands Width (BBW) value is lower than the lowest value within a period plus a margin of error (percentage)
- When the %B value goes up or down by the impulse value (threshold value in setting) detailed in LazyBears indicator. (www.tradingview.com)
If it meets one of these 2 filters and there is a Keltner Channel Squeeze than gray color or else if the squeeze doesn’t meet one of the 2 filters than silver color (weaker Squeeze).
The goal is to find the best tool to find bottoms and top relative to volatility and filter squeeze.
Note: You can also change the threshold for RVI top and bottom.
And this work builds on my last indicators:
- Williams Vix Fix + BB & RVI (Top/Bottom) & Squeeze ()
- Williams Vix Fix BB + RVI & Squeeze (Keltner) filtered BBW + %B ()
If you have ideas on this work or have ideas on potential combinations please message me, I always want to learn or get perspective on how it can be improved.
Sharing is how we get better (Parameter tuning, ideas, discussion)
I don’t reinvent the wheel, just trying to make the wheel better.
Multiband Oscillator - Zigzag versionJust variation of Multi Band oscillator present here: Multi-Band-Channel-Oversold-Overbought-Oscillator
Changes are:
Instead of regular moving average, here I am using Zigzag Moving average. This is calculated in similar to as explained in: Zigzag-Cloud
Instead of ATR, using AZR (Average Zigzag Range) - Average-Zigzag-Range-AZR
Rest of the logic remains same.
Number of bands used 100 - which means, calculate 100 Bollinger bands with Std Dev Multiplier starting from 0.1 and with step 0.1 for the next one.
Which divides price ranges into 200 equal parts. Calculate what is the current range and plot them.
Overbought - Oversold levels are dynamics. They are dependent on the max and min state price has reached in last 80 days. Offset and factor can be used to adjust overbought oversold levels.
Keltner Worm ForecastBeta V0.1.0
This Keltner Channel Worm gives 6 different KCs at max, and allows you to set a multiplier for the offset and worm settings (exponential).
The idea behind this script is that the overall brightness of the Keltner Channel will indicate the strength of the forecast. If the candles are shrouded by darkness, a correction is due.
Enjoy and let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements down below!

Dual Mean Reversion Channel (adjusted lower band)This is a public and open-source lighter version compared to the "Overextended Price Channel" which is provided complimentaty to the Trend Insight System.
Introduction :
Channels are very useful tools to assess overextended price, volatility and upcoming retracement or impulsive moves (such as Bollinger Band squeezes). It is an indispensable addition to any trader using Mean Reversion theory for a scalp-trade or swing-trade.
This script contains :
- 2 channels Keltner-style, using the True Range for volatility
- customizable volatility (channel width) and smoothing period
- a standard selection of moving average ; SMA, EMA, VWMA
- an embedded readjustment of the lower bands to avoid the drop on a logarithmic scale (see explanation below)
Why another channel indicator ?
I have found most conventional channels to be either not based on "proper" volatility (e.g. standard deviation of price action for Bollinger Band), or the bottom channel to be ill adapted to the logarithmic scale and plunges to 0 on some high volatility periods, messing with readability on logarithmic auto-scaled chart.
Also, I find the channels to be most useful when superimposed with another one of longer length; especially a pair of channels with a 50 and 200 period moving average respectively. Mean Reversion traders that mostly trade the 50 and 200 SMA/EMA know what I am talking about as having a channel helps to have a better visual for a proper of entry and exit point.
Disclaimer :
This indicator was originally intended to be used along with the Trend Insight System to improve performance, and the default configuration mostly backtested on BTCUSD.
Please use with caution, proper risk management and along with your favorite oscillator, candlestick reading and signals system.
Some explanation :
Based on Mean Reversion paradigm, everything has a tendency to revert back to the mean :
- when the price enters the upper channel, it is supposed to be (or start getting) overbought as the market is getting overheated, thus prone to correction,
- on the other hand, when the price enters the lower channel, it is supposed to be (or getting) oversold and the market looks favorable for a buy-in.
Depending on the trading style used, a trader will usually either wait until the price leaves the channel towards the mean before taking action (conservative style) or you will set limit orders inside the channel as you expect a reversion to the mean (more agressive/risky style).
With two channels, more complex (and maybe precise) rules can be built to optimize one's trading strategy.
Important notes :
In the end, sticking with 50/200 length and a single setting on volatility might be wiser, be wary of overoptimization which is risky at best and counter productive at worst (according to legendary traders such as Mark Douglas). Even if, needless to say, the volatility needs to be adjusted between a nascent and volatile market (such as crypto) compared to standard call markets that are much less volatile.
End notes :
It will always be considered a work in progress to help bring out the best of trading with channels, any comment and suggestion are welcomed.
Squeeze Momentum [Plus]The "Momentum" in this indicator is smoothed out using linear regression. The Momentum is what is displayed on the indicator as a histogram, its purpose is obvious (to show momentum).
What is a Squeeze? A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands tighten up enough to slip inside of Keltner Channels .
This is interpreted as price is compressing and building up energy before releasing it and making a big move.
Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC.
In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages.
The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three.
The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings.
The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator.
And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression.
Now to explain the parameters:
Squeeze Input - This is just the source for the Squeeze to use, default value is closing price.
Length - This is the length of time used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels .
Bollinger Bands Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Bollinger Bands .
Keltner Channel Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Keltner Channel.
Color Format - you to choose one of 5 different color schemes.
Draw Divergence - Self explanatory here, this will auto-draw divergence on the indicator.
Gray Background for Dark Mode - to make them more visually appealing.
Added ADX (Average Directional Index) that measure a trend’s strength. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The ADX line is white when it has a positive slope, otherwise it is gray. When the ADX has a very large dispersion with respect to the momentum histogram, increase the scale number.
Added "H (Hull Moving Average) Signal". Hull is a extremely responsive and smooth moving average created by Alan Hull in 2005. Have option to chose between 3 Hull variations.
Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets.
The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility, and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up.
The FE green triangles are "Filtered Entries"
The AE green triangles are "Aggressive Filtered Entries"
(JS) Interchanging ATR & VWAP BandsOkay so this is pretty simple, but I think it's a great tool for day trading especially. I just took the default VWAP and Keltner channel scripts and combined them together.
The top option allows you to choose which one you'd prefer to use, "Use ATR instead of VWAP" .
The next options, "ATR Source", "KC Length", and "ATR Length" are the parameters for the ATR Bands.
"Number of Bands" allows you to choose how many bands you'd like to be on display (you can choose 1-8).
"Use Expoential MA" and "Band Style" are more default parameters from Keltner Channels used to set up the ATR Bands.
The "ATR Bands" are just stacked Keltner Channels separated by 1 ATR each, whereas the "VWAP Bands" are separated by standard deviation just like the default script from Trading View.
In these example chart, you can see the weekly VWAP with 8 deviation bands and 5 ATR bands with Keltner Channels.
Inverse BandsThis was the result of quite some time spent examining how much information could be gleamed by studying the interactions between Keltner Channels, STARC Bands and Bollinger Bands. I was surprised by the results.
First of all, there are four fills that are black. Set the transparency of those to 0 and you'll see this indicator the way that it's meant to be seen. Those fills belong to unused sections of the Bollinger Bands.
There are two clouds which represent STARC Bands and the Keltner Channel. There is some delay when they flip from bullish (green) to bearish (red), but they are indicative of the trend. The space between them is black and the narrower that space is, the greater volatility is. Because of this, we don't need the exterior Bollinger Bands.
The Bollinger Bands remain visible as the yellow interior clouds on the top cloud and the blue interior clouds on the bottom cloud. Often, the thicker the yellow or blue cloud is, the less severe a throwback from a given trend reversal will be. Often the thinner that yellow or blue cloud is, the more severe the trend reversal will be. If price is rising into a thin interior yellow cloud, the following dip will be substantial. If price action dips towards a thicker interior blue cloud, often the pump following that dump will be less enthusiastic.
We preserve the Keltner Channel and STARC bands as our cloud because the way that they interact with the three basis lines yields a lot of information.
The yellow Bollinger basis line tells us about trend strength. The closer the BB basis line is to the top of the top cloud or the bottom of the bottom cloud, the stronger the trend is. When it enters the cloud very close to the bottom of the bottom cloud, you know you're looking at a strong pump, and vice versa when it's close to the top of the top cloud.
The purple Keltner Channel basis line and orange STARC Band basis line can forecast short term trend changes one candlestick in advance by contacting any line in either cloud. The moment either basis line touches or crosses any boundary of the clouds, you know that the next candle will change directions. In an uptrend, a touch or cross means the next candle will have a lower high point. In a downtrend, a cross or touch means the next candle will have a higher high point. This is most useful in scalping.
It'd be pretty easy to slap some crossover alerts on to this and useful considering that they come a candle in advance. Feel free to further explore and develop this.
Keltner FibzonesKeltner Channel with Fibonacci Zones which uses properties of a Donchian Channel.
This script is a variation of the Fibonacci Zone script and the Donchian Fibonacci Trading Tool which I published earlier. A Keltner Channel gives more useful information to the trader than a Donchian Channel, because it provides a depiction of “normal range” and shows “outside normalcy” situations. Fibonacci lines provide a way to see if the market is trending up or down, while moving inside the channel, because in cases where the Fibonacci lines function as resistance, the trend is down, whereas when these turn out to be supports the trend is up.
Example of use:
If after a rally up - in which candles moves outside the channel - these return into the channel, this means a “new normal”. If the fibs turn out to give support, one may assume that this is a temporary sideways movement in which a flag is formed, after which following rally up may happen. With rally down the opposite is true. Top and bottom situations show a change in the way the market uses the fiblines.
The middle line of the Donchian Channel is used as the middle line of the Keltner channel, in stead of the sma in the classic channel. Default for calculation is 2 x Average True Range above and below this line. Default for the periods of the channel is 20 periods, because this allows the candles to go outside the channel. If you shorten this, all happens inside the channel.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator v4_pine [By Lazy Bear]This is the famous Squeeze Momentum Indicator made by @LazyBear in v4 version if someone wants to test some strategies, as the original code was in v2 version the code converter couldn't convert to v4.
Built-in Kelly ratio for dynamic position sizingThis is the defaut keltners channel strategy with a few additions.
The main purpose is to show how we include the Kelly ratio into our scripts for dynamic position sizing based on the performance of the strategy on a per trade basis.
We've also included the usual take-profit and stop-loss parameters in the event you want to play a little :)
We hope this helps you advance your personal system.
Happy Trading!
MA Streak Change ChannelChange Channel is like KC unless it uses percentage changes in price to set channel distance. Midline is zero-lag smoothed ROC with dynamic period based on MA Streak indicator, if MA Streak shows an ongoing trend, midline going strong and break out the channel.
Consider using ▲ green areas as a signal to buy and ▼ red areas as a sell signal. It works best in a flat market. Use in combination with other indicators.
Squeeze Momentum Signal Overlay [GN]Companion script for Squeeze Momentum Indicator that plots the signal on chart.
Relative Channel BandwidthThis indicator uses different volatility channels - Bollinger Band, Donchian Channel and Keltner Channel width to measure volatility.
Indicator plots channel bandwidth percentage with respect to close price.
This is not same as Bollinger Percent B - which is measure of where price is with respect to band. Instead this indicator is similar to ATR Percent indicator published here:
Plotting is color coded to indicate volatility zone:
Red : Extreme volatility
Orange : High volatility
Lime : Low volatility
Green : Extreme low volatility
These levels are again derived by long period bollinger bands
Adoptive Supertrend - BandsAnother adoption of supertrend. This time based on different channels - Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel, Donchian Channel and Pivot point based Donchian channel.
When price hits top of bands, it is considered as start or continuation of uptrend. When price hits bottom of the band it is considered as start or continuation of downtrend. Hence, supertrend is drawn based on these calculations. Use ATR Periods and ATR Multiplier to create stops certain ATR away from band's top and bottom.
Other supertrend adoptions published are here:
Pivot point based donchian channel is published here:
