📘 Indicator Name:
Guppy MMA with Bollinger Bands
🔍 What This Indicator Does:
This TradingView indicator combines Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA) with Bollinger Bands to help you identify trend direction and volatility zones, ideal for spotting pullback entries within trending markets.
🔵 1. Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA):
✅ Short-Term EMAs (Blue) — represent trader sentiment:
EMA 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15
✅ Long-Term EMAs (Red) — represent investor sentiment:
EMA 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60
Usage:
When blue (short) EMAs are above red (long) EMAs and spreading → Strong uptrend
When blue EMAs cross below red EMAs → Potential downtrend
⚫ 2. Bollinger Bands (Volatility Envelopes):
Length: 300 (captures the longer-term price range)
Basis: 300-period SMA
Upper & Lower Bands:
±1 Standard Deviation (light gray zone)
±2 Standard Deviations (dark gray zone)
Fill Zones:
Highlights standard deviation ranges
Emphasizes extreme vs. normal price moves
Usage:
Price touching ±2 SD bands signals potential exhaustion
Price reverting to the mean suggests pullback or re-entry opportunity
💡 Important Note: Use With Momentum Filter
✅ For superior accuracy, this indicator should be combined with your invite-only momentum filter on TradingView.
This filter helps confirm whether the trend has underlying strength or is losing momentum, increasing the probability of successful entries and exits.
🕒 Recommended Timeframe:
📆 1-Hour Chart (60m)
This setup is optimized for short- to medium-term swing trading, where Guppy structures and Bollinger reversion work best.
🔧 Practical Strategy Example:
Long Trade Setup:
Short EMAs are above long EMAs (strong uptrend)
Price pulls back to the lower 1 or 2 SD band
Momentum filter confirms bullish strength
Short Trade Setup:
Short EMAs are below long EMAs (strong downtrend)
Price rises to the upper 1 or 2 SD band
Momentum filter confirms bearish strength
