Intradayintensityindex — Indicators and Strategies

Bollinger Bands Width + %B + Vol. + Intraday Idx Alma var [DM]Greetings Colleagues here I published another script of the series "Alma Variant" This script incorporates four different standard signals from Bollinger Band Book. Signals: Bollinger Band Width. Line blue Bollinger Band %B. Line gray Intraday intensity Index “normalized using log(volume)”. Oscillator line in the middle of the indicator with decision color green = buy, red=sell, purple=na Bollinger Band Volume “normalized, decreased to 20% and limited to 100” Alerts: Bollinger Band (%B) Alert Level with your switch Bollinger Band (Width) Alert Level with your switch BB (Volume) Alert with your switch Setting. Individual ma settings All alerts can be adjusted The color of the Intraday intensity index background and lines help you decide on your volatility breakout direction The background color has been conditioned to smoothed X periods for the accumulated volume above the alert level, Intraday Intensity Index direction and %B direction. I recommend for the use of this indicator to first read John Bollinger's book to understand the usefulness of each of the signals and their configuration to execute the orders.

VWMACDV2 w/Intraday Intensity Index Histogram & VBCB Hello traders! In this script i tried to combine Kıvanç Özbilgiç's Volume Based Coloured Bars, Volume Weighted Macd V2 and Intraday Intensity Index developed by Dave Bostian and added to Tradingview by Kıvanç Özbilgiç. Let's see what we got here; VBCB, Paints candlestick bars according to the volume of that bar. Period is 30 by default. If you're trading stocks, 21 should be better. Volume Weighted Macd V2, "Here in this version; Exponential Moving Averages used and Weighted by Volume instead of using only vwma (Volume Weighted Moving Averages)." Says, Kıvanç Özbilgiç. III, "A technical indicator that approximates the volume of trading for a specified security in a given day. It is designed to help track the activity of institutional block traders and is calculated by subtracting the day's high and low from double the closing price, divided by the volume and multiplied by the difference between the high and the low." *Histogram of vwmacd changes color according to the value of III. (Green if positive, yellow if negative value)* VWMACD also comes with the values of 21,13,3... Which are fibonacci numbers and that's how i use it. You can always go back to the good old 26,12,9. Other options according to the fibonacci numbers might be= 21,13,5-13,8,3-13,8,5... (For shorter terms of trading) Trading combined with the bollinger bands is strongly advised for both VWMACD and III. VBCB is just the candy on top :) Enjoy!

Bollinger Bands Strategy with Intraday Intensity Index For Educational Purposes. Results can differ on different markets and can fail at any time. Profit is not guaranteed. This only works in a few markets and in certain situations. Changing the settings can give better or worse results for other markets. This is a mean reversion strategy based on Bollinger Bands and the Intraday Intensity Index (a volume indicator). John Bollinger mentions that the Intraday Intensity Index can be used with Bollinger Bands and is one of the top indicators he recommends in his book. It seems he prefers it over the other volume indicators that he compares to for some reason. III looks a lot like Chaikin Money Flow but without the denominator in that calculation. On the default settings of the BBs, the III helps give off better entry signals. John Bollinger however is vague on how to use the BBs and it's hard to say if one should enter when it is below/above the bands or when the price crosses them. I find that with many indicators and strategies it's best to wait for a confirmation of some sort, in this case by waiting for some crossover of a band. Like most mean reversion strategies, the exit is very loose if using BBs alone. Usually the plan to exit is when the price finally reverts back to the mean or in this case the middle band. This can potentially lead to huge drawdowns and/or losses. Mean reversion strategies can have high win/loss ratios but can still end up unprofitable because of the huge losses that can occur. These drawdowns/losses that mean reversion strategies suffer from can potentially eat away at a large chunk of all that was previously made or perhaps up to all of it in the worst cases, can occur weeks or perhaps up to months after being profitable trading such a strategy, and will take a while and several trades to make it all back or keep a profitable track record. It is important to have a stop loss, trailing stop, or some sort of stop plan with these types of strategies. For this one, in addition to exiting the trade when price reverts to the middle band, I included a time-based stop plan that exits with a gain or with a loss to avoid potentially large losses, and to exit after only a few periods after taking the trade if in profit instead of waiting for the price to revert back to the mean.
