SVE Bollinger Band (MT4)
SVE Bollinger Band enhances the classic Bollinger Bands with SVE smoothing/adaptivity. You get cleaner band rides and squeezes, earlier volatility shifts, and actionable alerts in MetaTrader 4.
What it shows
- Middle SVE average plus upper/lower bands at dynamic STD multiples.
- Squeeze/expansion states for breakout timing and mean‑reversion context.
- (Optional) arrows/alerts — band touches/breaks, squeeze exit, midline crosses and slope flips.
Trade ideas
- Squeeze → breakout: wait for band contraction, then trade first close outside with follow‑through; use the midline as a bias check.
- Trend pullback: in an uptrend, buy pullbacks to the middle SVE or to the lower band with a hook‑up; mirror for shorts.
- Mean‑reversion: fade exhausted outer‑band tags back to the midline when bands are flat.
- (Optional) Volatility trail: use the opposite band or adaptive ATR as a trailing stop.
Inputs that matter
- SVE length / smoothing — stability vs responsiveness.
- Band deviation — STD multiplier for the envelopes.
- Source price — close/typical/median.
- Alerts — band breaks, midline crosses, squeezes.
- Colors/widths — quick visual read.
Suggested usage
- M5–M15: squeeze breakouts and pullbacks.
- M30–H4: swing continuations; ride the band.
- Daily+: regime read and trailing stops.
