Basis-Filtered Lower BB
Basis-Filtered Lower BB is a modified Bollinger Band indicator designed to help locate potential long entries only, based on EdgeTools’ findings around lower-band mean reversion.
Instead of treating Bollinger Bands as breakout, squeeze, or support/resistance tools, this script focuses on downside volatility extremes. According to the referenced finding, the strongest edge came from price closing below the lower Bollinger Band, where the move may be unusually extended relative to the asset’s recent volatility regime and later revert upward.
The indicator filters the lower Bollinger Band with an offset RMA basis to reduce steep near-vertical drops during volatility expansion. The final Filtered Lower BB line shows the higher value between the lower band and the basis filter, with optional SMA smoothing enabled by default.
Features:
This is a visual research tool for identifying lower-band penetration zones, not financial advice or a complete trading strategy.
