Balanced BB Breakout-"B4"

Thanks to all the talented people who have dedicated time and effort to this indicator.
All I did was see an opportunity to mix all of my favorite indicators into one great lower study that helped keep my upper chart clean and at the same time provide me with a great amount of info to trade.

I myself have only been using this for a few months, In that time it has helped me as a trader. Comments are welcome. Let me know how you use it, how it works for your trades!

This is how I like to trade this indicator and it is not to be considered trading advise. Many people are asking how I use this indicator so I decided to explain how I personally like you use this. This info is for educational purposes only. This info will be updated to reflect each new version as it evolves.

• I usually trade in the direction of the MACDBB mid line. The trend label is synced with that and will help keep you in the right direction.
• I like to see confirmation with the Market Forecast and the trend label. I find a neutral trend is not my friend as it usually will chop me out of profit.
• The MACDBB Cloud in the original version incorporated the use of Keltner Channel to determine a squeeze, the newer versions employ a stocastic squeeze. A yellow (default) cloud will appear on the bands when this condition is meet. Price has a tendency to breakout after a squeeze. This is where I like to be set up waiting for an entry.
• The Bollinger Bands when contracted show an area of consolidation or a point of equilibrium. These levels are often areas of supply and demand or support and resistance. When the band is tight and the MACDBB Dotted Line crosses over the top band It is typically a strong move to the up side, just the opposite in the inverse.
• By default, the alerts crossing for the bands from both directions is set to zero.
• Some people may want to enter a position upon the MACDBB dotted Line crossing the BB bands Upper, Lower, Or Middle line. You will have to play with it and figure out what works best for you. The alerts from this will not give you an absolute top or absolute bottom. But serves as a good indication of price aggregation.
• The clouds in the background are a confluent combination of RSI, STOCASTIC and MACD. That’s why it is referred to as RSM. When the signals are confluent, they will either be Red or Green by default. When they are not in agreement it is likely you are in inflight turbulence or a change of investor sentiment.
• For my first confirmation of a trade, I watch the MACDBB dots line. Before the line turns grey it should turn dark red or dark green. That’s when I am alerted, I use that as my lead while using this indicator.
• When the MACDBB dots line turns gray, that is an area of indecision and as soon as that line crosses the MACDBB middle line, I look for secondary confirmation to confirm entry or exit, I do this on entries and exits.
• For those looking to get a better exit on the RSI_IFT strategy, perhaps this will alert you, we are working on a solution now to provide a more reasonable exit for this stratigy. I have an add-on that is almost complete that will be of assistance in determining an exit, and will update you all when we finish it.
• Personally with my risk tolerance, I find that when the MACDBB dots line turns gray when I am in a long position and crosses over the top BB line, I usually exit my position. I then wait for the pull back or a continuation. I find personally that the commission fee for exiting out ways the 100’s of dollars I risk or lose if the position changes direction at that time. I do the inverse for shorts.

THIS PORTION IS FOR THE EARLIER VERSIONS WITH THE P/L AND MACD HISTOGRAM ARROWS OPTIONS (Might be a future Add_On or even a rework once we finalize the stratigies)

• For each instrument that I trade I can run a P/L analysis.
• NOTE: The profit calculator uses the chart settings for bar #1 to start the strategy and calculates P/L for the amount of trades thereafter. I look at the P/L and how it differs based on changing the timeframe - so if 5m looks better than 3, I would probably go with 5m. Of course, past performance is not indicative of future results, but I like to trade what I see.
• The first thing I do is back test it on the instrument I want to trade. Using a 1D chart with time intervals of 2m,3m,5m,10m,15m, etc. and check out the P/L to see what time frame is the most profitable, considering my risk and max drawdown. At this time, I also like to switch between the built-in strategies to see which one would have made me the most money and probably choose that one. You will not trade exactly like the strategy, but I feel it is a good start. I like to have probability in my favor. that’s why I put that strategy on my lower indicators.
• I have all the arrows turned on in my version and I look for the arrows, or histogram, or colored cloud background, in accordance with the selected strategy entry line or my entries also considering the other signals and price indications I am getting from the candles and other indicators in my final evaluation.

Latest Version Update v3.0

Changes made to this version:

• cleanup, changed divergance to text, show stoch labels all the time
• added trend squeeze label for BB, added alerts for Stoch Scalper
• added options to hide clouds and labels(thanks to the users for making this suggestion)
• changed trend and divergence colors and text to match
• removed volume and keltner channel studies, unified squeeze

To select the strategy you wish just navigate to your study and select the one you wish in the "bull bear" dropdown.

Very interesting, Chuck - would you mind explaining these vertical lines / prices, and how do they work? Thanks very much

https://imgur.com/zQOKTOO

 

[Chuck]

@asragov , Those vertical lines are from the Balance Of Power Indicator. It is a possible buy or sell at that specific price.
It can be adjusted to your liking. I have it set at ema 20/tma 20....It has worked in the past petty good for stocks similar to AMD on a 2 min chart. On futures I like it set at ema34/tma34 on a 15 min chart. You can check its profitability and tweak its settings by setting your chart to 1 day aggregations variables ranging from 2,3,5,10 and 15 mins. Look at the label in the P/L statement to the top left on the indicator to see how much that strategy would have profited you.

NOTE: The code needs to be modified on that portion, because I have it set to only buy 1 share of stock instesd of 100. I did that for futures contracts ....Now I cant remember how to change it back. Maybe someone could improve that and make it able to user interface adjustable shares .

@Chuck Thank you very much for putting this together. This is simply an amazing compilation. The vertical lines are especially useful. Out of the box (with EMA/TEMA 20) it works well for many of the stocks I looked at for the 1HR chart. I just now wish I can go back in time and use this last week as it would have saved me quite a bit of money on some bad trades.

Note for those who want to get the most out of it, change the EMA/TEMA values up and down, as Chuck noted, and see the impact on P/L for each stock/ticker you want to trade for the specific chart time you wish. This is really an essential element to get the most out of it.

Thanks again buddy and keep up the good work!

@Joseph Patrick 18, Hopefully you downloaded the updated version. The original sript posted did not have my defaulted settings. Editied the latest post to reflect. I am not a good coder, I just mixed this all together from some of my favorite lower indicators to have a all in one. Edited out a few conflicts. Maybe someone here can create a scan. but this is still experimental, use with caution.

Thanks Chuck, I did and it looks awesome! Thanks!
Quick question on how to use the chart for entry and exit signals.

In the pic below would I enter at when the MACD dots turn from red to green and rises above the other MA's, while also getting the green vertical line @$168.70 with the beginning of the green shadow forming? (the 2 green arrows in pic below)

Also to exit (arrow number 2 in pic below) I would wait for the MACD dots to reverse and go from green to red while crossing below the MA's and the green shading ends?? (even tho the green shade ended at $178.70)??

Thanks for your help.

Joe,
The first thing I do is backtest it on the instrument I want to trade. Using a one day chart with time intervals of 2m,3m,5m,10m,15m, etc. and check out the P/L to see what time frame is the most profitable, considering my risk and max drawdown.

Next I adjust the fast length macd, so that it matches my optimal entry/exit points on that timeframe.

After that to answer your question I watch the MACD line. Before the line turns grey it should turn dark red or dark green. Thats when I am alerted. I use that as my lead while using this indicator.

When the MACD line turns grey, that is an area of indecision and as soon as that line crosses the middle BB line, I look for secondary confirmation to confirm entry or exit, I do this on entries and exits.

I have all the arrows turned on on my version and I look for the arrows, or histogram, or colored cloud background, or balance of power line with price level for my entries also considering the other signals and price indications I am getting from the candles and other indicators in my final evaluation.

Joe,

Some people may want to enter upon the bollinger band crossing that will be for earlier trade enties/exits. You will have to play with it and figure out what works best for you. I updated the link and the second post to add paint bars. I am not a coder and would not recommend trading live until all the kinks are worked out. I see several of the indicators on this forum were designed because of your requests. Perhaps you can reach out and get one of these guys to tweak this thing up a bit if you like it.

Hey Chuck, thanks for your explanation and for your work with this. Would you mind explaining further how you make the decision about what to adjust the MACD fast length to?
1)first you look at the P/L and how it differs based on changing the timeframe - so if 5m looks better than 3, you'd probably go with 5m
2)then you adjust the MACD fast line - this is the part i'm having difficulty with - what do you do to figure out how you should adjust it?

@JE $$ ,

I like to have probability in my favor. that’s why I put that strategy on my lower indicators.

For each instrument that I trade I can run a P/L analysis.

Once that’s locked into the optimal time frame, I like to adjust other indicators or in this instance studies within the indicator for maximum performance.

I personally open the study and adjust the fast length macd.

I adjust the fast length MACD by while looking at the histogram while trying to optimize it to the perfect high/ low pivot points.
I like to send it to eight out of 10 occurrences.

That is just my personal preference
