Motion To Attraction ChannelsIntroduction
Channels are used a lot on technical-analysis, however most of the them rely on adding/subtracting a volatility indicator to a central tendency indicator, sometimes the central tendency indicator can even be replaced by pure price. A great channel who does not rely on this kind of architecture is the Donchian channels or the quartiles bands. Here i propose a channel similar to the one made by Richard Donchian with some additional abilities.
The Channels
In my indicator, Motion To Attraction mean that the movement of an object a attract an object b , but we can resume this approach by saying that the longer a trend period is, the smaller the distance between each channels, for example if the price create a new highest then the lowest will move toward this new highest, each time coming closer. The philosophy behind this is that the longer a trend is the more probable it is that she will end.
The code reflect it this way :
here the parameter controlling the channel A (upper)
c = change(b) ? nz(c ) + alpha : change(a) ? 0 : nz(c )
this is traduced by : if channel b move then the parameter c become greater, if channel a move then reset the parameter , the parameter d do the same.
c is used to move the channel A, when c < 1 A is closer to the highest, when c = 1 A is in a central tendency point, when c > 1 A is closer to the lowest.
Slaving the Movement
It is possible to have a better control over the channels, this is done by making c and d always equal or lower than 1. Of course it could be another max value selected by the user.
In order to do that add c1 and d1 as parameter with c1 = c > 1 ? 1 : c , same with d1 but replace c by d.
Its safer to do this but i prefer how the channels act the other way, i will consider implementing this option in the future.
Conclusion
This channel indicator does not rely on past data thanks to recursion. The alpha variable at the start can also be adaptive, this let you make the channels adaptive even if such idea can add non desired results. Low length values can create effects where the lower channel can be greater than the higher one, this can be fixed directly in the code or using the method highlighted in the Slaving the Movement part.
McNicholl Moving AverageThis type of moving average was originally developed by Dennis McNicholl (Futures Magazine, (October, 1998): "Better Bollinger Bands"). A kind of TEMA. He used it as a centerline of the new bands, called Better Bollinger Bands or DEnvelope. The Better Bollinger Bands is a modification of the well-known Bollinger Bands that has a better response for changes in volatility.
RSI ATR ChannelDraws a channel based on ATR (Average True Range) and RSI. Detects band touches and colors the background appropriately.
Kirshenbaum BandsThis indicator was originally developed by Paul Kirshenbaum, a mathematician with a Ph.D. in economics from New York University.
It uses the standard error of linear regression lines of the closing price to determine band width. This has the effect of measuring volatility around the current trend, rather than measuring volatility for changes in trend.
Good luck!
Relative Strength Volatility Variable Bands [DW]This is an experimental adaptive trend following study inspired by Giorgos Siligardos's Reverse Engineering RSI and Tushar S. Chande's Variable Moving Average.
In this study, reverse engineered RSI levels are calculated and used to generate a volatility index for VMA calculation.
First, price levels are calculated for when RSI will equal 70 and 30. The difference between the levels is taken and normalized to create the volatility index.
Next, an initial VMA is calculated using the created volatility index. The moving average is an exponential calculation that adjusts the sampling length as volatility changes.
Then, upper and lower VMAs are calculated by taking a VMA of prices above and below the initial VMA. The midline is produced by taking the median of the upper and lower VMAs.
Lastly, the band levels are calculated by multiplying the distance from the midline to the upper and lower VMAs by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Bar colors are included. They're based on the midline trend and price action relative to the upper and lower VMAs.
Bollinger Bands MTF [LonesomeTheBlue]With this script you can follow Bollinger Bands for current and higher time frame together. Higher time frame is calculated by script.
if current period
1m => higher period=5m
3m => higher period=5m
5m => higher period=15m
15m => higher period=1h
30m => higher period=1h
45m => higher period=1h
1h => higher period=4h
2h => higher period=4h
3h => higher period=4h
4h => higher period=1day
1day => higher period=1week
Tripple BB_13EMAHere is a script to use 3 types of Bollinger Bands.
It is like three resistances or ranges in wich the Chart generally likes to move. A 1, 2 and 3 Width BB. The Chart moves 90% between the yellow one.
As support for my study i use the 13 EMA. is the Chart over the 13 EMA and under the Yellow (2) BB the trend is bullish. Is t under the 13 EMA and over the Yellow BB the trend used to be bearish.
The opener the BB are the more Volatilaty and the more likely the Chart will not bounce against the Bands. It will more get stick to the yellow or red one (if it is between them it is a trend too) and will follow up or downwards.

Standard Error Bandswith the best settings - this indicator is a better version of the bollinger bands, because it uses a linear regression .
Use this carefully and with other indicators.
Interquartile Range BandsInterquartile Range Bands script.
This indicator was originally developed by Alex Orekhov at his home.
The idea based on the interquartile range en.wikipedia.org
If price breaks out from the bands then it is `outlier` price.
After breakouts price always returns to its median.
Watch squeeze/expansion periods.
Anyway use it as a supplement to the other indicators.
I will glad to get your feedback.

MA Study: Different Types and More [NeoButane]A study of moving averages that utilizes different tricks I've learned to optimize them. Included is Bollinger Bands, Guppy (GMMA) and Super Guppy.
The method used to make it MtF should be more precise and smoother than regular MtF methods that use the security function. For intraday timeframes, each number represents each hour, with 24 equal to 1 day. For daily, 3 is 3 day, for weekly, 4 is the 4 weekly, etc. If you're on a higher timeframe than the one selected, the length will not change.
Log-space is used to make calculations work on many cryptos. The rules for color changing Guppy is changed to make it not as choppy on MAs other than EMA. Note that length does not affect SWMA and VWAP and source does not affect VWAP.
A short summary of each moving average can be found here: medium.com
List of included MAs:
ALMA: Arnaud Legoux
Double EMA
EMA: Exponential
Hull MA
KAMA: Kaufman Adaptive
Linear Regression Curve
LSMA: Least Squares
SMA: Simple
SMMA/RMA: Smoothed/Running
SWMA: Symm. Weighted
TMA: Triangular
Triple EMA
VWMA: Volume Weighted
WMA: Weighted
ZLEMA: Zero Lag
VWAP: Vol Weighted Average

Green lines color - for a positive slope of standard linear regression channel, red - for a negative slope.
RSI Heat Bands [River]This script combines LazyBear's RSI Bands with JayRoger's Bollinger Heat Bands, to give an on chart representation of the price needed to set RSI to each major level, from 20 to 80 (higher values created massive bands).
