KBB (Keltner / Bollinger Band) Squeeze MACD

Chart Analysis, RadarScreen & Alerts—

Based on the Keltner Channel / Bollinger Band squeeze, using MACD histogram for trend.

Chart Analysis

Displays just like a standard MACD but includes the KBB squeeze red/green dots on the centerline. Histogram dynamically colored base on trend direction. Unlike the built-in MACD supplied by TradeStation, this one permits the selection of various moving average types (simple, exponential, weighted, hull).

RadarScreen

Displays color coded values in two separate columns of the RadarScreen. KBB column shows whether the KBB is in a squeeze or has fired. If KBB has fired, displays number of consecutive bars since fired. MACD Hist column shows colors of the histogram trend direction.

Alerts

Are included for both the Chart Analysis mode as well as the RadarScreen mode. Alerts include:

1. KBB squeeze fired
2. Histogram crossing zero licensed
3. Histogram changing trend direction
