YFX Advanced Bands Squeeze

The Advanced Bands Squeeze indicator is a custom indicator based on the classic Bollinger Bands as created by John Bollinger. The Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when volatility falls to low levels and the Bollinger Bands narrow. This low volatility level is called a “Squeeze”. 

According to John Bollinger, periods of low volatility are often followed by periods of high volatility, where prices tend to move a lot in either direction. Therefore, a volatility contraction or narrowing of the bands can foreshadow a significant advance or decline. Once the squeeze play is on, a subsequent band break signals the start of a new move. Note that the “Squeeze OFF” condition only signals that a move is starting but it does not signal the direction of the move. A new advance starts with a “Squeeze OFF” signal and subsequent break above the upper band. A new decline starts with a “Squeeze OFF” signal and subsequent break below the lower band.
