Bollinger MTF
The Bollinger MTF indicator is a versatile volatility and trend analysis tool that allows traders to overlay Bollinger Bands from multiple timeframes onto a single chart. This provides a comprehensive view of market structure, identifying key support and resistance levels across various durations—from intraday scalping ranges to long-term institutional cycles.
By centralizing multi-timeframe (MTF) Bollinger Bands, this indicator eliminates the need to switch tabs constantly, allowing for better alignment checks and regime identification.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
1. Comprehensive MTF Integration
Unlike standard Bollinger Band indicators that only show a single timeframe, this tool supports up to seven simultaneous overlays:
- Chart BB: Matches the current chart resolution.
- Intraday: 15-minute and 1-hour.
- Swing: 4-hour and Daily.
- Macro: Weekly and Monthly.
2. Dynamic High-Visibility Design
Each timeframe is assigned a distinct, curated color palette with adjustable fills. This allows for clear "nesting" of bands, making it easy to identify when price is compressed within multiple timeframe extremes or expanding into a broad trend.
3. Optimized Data Fetching
The script uses efficient security calls with `barmerge.gaps_off` to ensure that higher-timeframe data is correctly aligned with the current chart without creating visual distortion or repainting artifacts on historical bars.
█ USAGE
Volatility Compression (Squeeze)
Look for areas where multiple timeframe bands are tightening simultaneously. This indicates a period of low volatility often followed by an explosive move. If the 4h and Daily bands are both squeezing, the subsequent breakout is likely to be significant.
Trend Alignment
A strong trend is often confirmed when price remains positioned between the basis line and the upper/lower bands of multiple timeframes. For example, a "Power Trend" occurs when price respects the 1h BB Upper while staying above the 4h BB Basis.
Mean Reversion Levels
The outer bands of higher timeframes (Daily/Weekly) act as significant exhaustion points. When price reaches a Weekly Band extreme during an intraday move, the probability of a reversal or consolidation increase substantially.
█ DETAILS
Calculation Logic
The core engine utilizes the standard `ta.bb` function, calculating the Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Standard Deviation (StdDev) for each requested timeframe. The results are then synchronized to the current chart using `request.security`.
Display Logic
The script features advanced plotting controls where each timeframe's visibility, color, and center-line display can be toggled independently. This allows for a clean workspace where only the most relevant tiers are visible.
█ SETTINGS
General BB Settings
- Length: The lookback period for the SMA and StdDev calculation (Default: 20).
- StdDev: The multiplier for the bands (Default: 2.0).
Timeframe Toggles
Each timeframe section (Chart, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) includes:
- Toggle: Enable or disable the specific timeframe.
- Colors: Independent selection for lines and fills.
- Center Line: Optional toggle to show the basis (SMA) line.
