TCL Boll Bands Trader MT4
- Indicadores
- Versão: 2.0
TCL Boll Bands Trader is a Bollinger Bands indicator for MetaTrader 4 with a multi-mode trend filter, dual-deviation entry levels, volatility subfilters, and an interactive on-chart dashboard.
How It Works
Standard Bollinger Bands signals can produce signals against the dominant move when the underlying market is in a strong trend. This indicator addresses that by checking each potential signal against a configurable trend filter before plotting it, and by adding squeeze, Average Directional Index (ADX), and session filters that can suppress signals under specific volatility and directional conditions.
Components
- Dual-Deviation Bollinger Bands — two band layers are plotted: a standard layer at 2.0 standard deviations and an extreme layer at 3.0 standard deviations.
- Multi-Mode Trend Filter — three selectable filter modes determine the market bias: Composite (Exponential Moving Average plus Relative Strength Index plus Moving Average Convergence Divergence agreement), EMA Slope (direction of the trend EMA), or Price Position (price above or below the trend EMA). Signals are only plotted when the chosen filter agrees with the proposed direction.
- Volatility Subfilters — optional Squeeze and ADX filters suppress signals during low-volatility or weak-direction conditions.
- Session Timing — optional session window with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and Daylight Saving Time adjustment so signals only appear during selected trading hours.
- Stop Loss and Take Profit Visualizer — each signal arrow is drawn with a fixed-pip Stop Loss line and a dynamic Take Profit line targeting the middle band.
- Dashboard Panel — on-chart panel showing band positions, RSI value, trend filter state, and session status. Panel position is remembered between sessions.
- Clipboard Copy — recent signal details can be copied to the system clipboard with one click for journaling or external use.
