Relative Strength Index w/ STARC Bands and PivotsThis is an old script that I use with some useful RSI strategies from "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional" 2nd edition by Constance Brown.
The base RSI comes with the option for custom length, and has some pre-configured ranges for looking at exits and entrances. The idea is to be bullish when bounces happen in the red zone during an already bullish trend or when the indicator enters green without a rejection. Be bearish if the indicator falls through the red zone or fails to enter green during an already bearish trend.
I have added the formulas used for creating STARC bands (just think fancier volatility bands) with adjustable tolerances. The idea is to look out for when the RSI touches one of the bands and reverses. This is usually indicative of a strong reversal (though the timing will be up to the trader). Best use this on shorter time frames during a volatile time of a stock's price action.
Although a little messy, there is a small segment of the script which includes pivot points. I like to use these because they make indicating local highs/lows for finding divergences easier.
Finally, I have added a couple of customizable EMAS for the RSI itself. Useful when combined with the other features!
Stoller Average Range Channels (STARC Bands)
Comprehensive BandsComprehensive Bands is an unabashed mashup combining Bollinger Bands, STARC Bands, and Keltner Channels. STARC Bands are modified Keltner Channels whichdo a better job than the Bollinger Bands when it comes to showing where the top and bottom ranges of natural volatility exist. The pale white exterior cloud is your STARC Band fill. The white line is the STARC basis line. Next closest to the center we have the Bollinger Bands in yellow without a basis line (because BB basis lines aren't that great). Bollinger Bands will help to highlight when volatility breakouts are about to happen. Keltner Channels are based on an exponential moving average represented by the purple basis line in the center usually accompanied by a pair of channel lines above and below, in this case represented as a blue fill.
Every component of this indicator can represent support and resistance on the go. You can use this as a trading system. The method in this case would be similar to the Bollinger Band trading method. The Bollinger Band method involves waiting for price to hit a support or resistance line where it then prints a reversal candle, and to trade in the direction of that reversal. This indicator can improve the Bollinger Band trading method by providing a better idea of when a trend has reached a reversal point through the use of superior maximum/minimum representations and superior basis lines. All this while configured in a visual representation that's light on noise. I'd suggest using this indicator in conjunction with an oscillator you feel comfortable with such as the MacD or RSI. Happy hunting.

Note: I'm aware that this does not contain Donchian channels and have no regrets.
STARC Bands Backtest A type of technical indicator that is created by plotting two bands around
a short-term simple moving average (SMA) of an underlying asset's price.
The upper band is created by adding a value of the average true range
(ATR) - a popular indicator used by technical traders - to the moving average.
The lower band is created by subtracting a value of the ATR from the SMA.
STARC is an acronym for Stoller Average Range Channels. The indicator is
named after its creator, Manning Stoller.
