DESCRIPTION The MACD + RSI + Bollinger Bands Indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed for traders and investors to identify potential market trends and reversals. This script combines three indicators: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands. Each of these indicators provides unique insights into market behavior.
FEATURES
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The script calculates the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram, which visually represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The script allows users to set custom upper and lower thresholds for the RSI, with default values of 70 and 30, respectively.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consist of a middle band (EMA) and two outer bands (standard deviations away from the EMA). They help traders identify volatility and potential price reversals. The script allows users to customize the length of the Bollinger Bands and the multiplier for the standard deviation.
Color-Coding Logic
The histogram color changes based on the following conditions:
Black: If the RSI is above the upper threshold and the closing price is above the upper Bollinger Band, or if the RSI is below the lower threshold and the closing price is below the lower Bollinger Band. Green (#4caf50): If the RSI is above the upper threshold but the closing price is not above the upper Bollinger Band. Light Green (#a5d6a7): If the histogram is positive and the RSI is not above the upper threshold. Red (#f23645): If the RSI is below the lower threshold but the closing price is not below the lower Bollinger Band. Light Red (#faa1a4): If the histogram is negative and the RSI is not below the lower threshold.
Inputs
Bollinger Bands Settings
Length: The number of periods for the moving average. Basis MA Type: The type of moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA). Source: The price source for the Bollinger Bands calculation. StdDev: The multiplier for the standard deviation.
RSI Settings
RSI Length: The number of periods for the RSI calculation. RSI Upper: The upper threshold for the RSI. RSI Lower: The lower threshold for the RSI. Source: The price source for the RSI calculation.
MACD Settings
Fast Length: The length for the fast moving average. Slow Length: The length for the slow moving average. Signal Smoothing: The length for the signal line smoothing. Oscillator MA Type: The type of moving average for the MACD calculation. Signal Line MA Type: The type of moving average for the signal line.
Usage This indicator is suitable for various trading strategies, including day trading, swing trading, and long-term investing. Traders can use the MACD histogram to identify potential buy and sell signals, while the RSI can help confirm overbought or oversold conditions. The Bollinger Bands provide context for price volatility and potential breakout or reversal points.
Example:
From the example, it can clearly see that the Selling Climax and Buying Climax, marked as orange circle when a black histogram occurs.
Conclusion The MACD + RSI + Bollinger Bands Indicator is a versatile tool that combines multiple technical analysis methods to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions. By utilizing this script, traders can enhance their analysis and improve their decision-making process.
