Hi everyone,
with youΒ mqldev, as always
Multi-timeframe Bollinger bands indicator.
updated version of the old indicator of 2017, which I made for a trader from the US in instagram talk, to trade in majors and options to them, Vitaly in the comments reminded me that I have wanted to update it, so download the latest version and test it.
What is changed compared to the old version:
Added a cross timeframe signal monitor on the chart, it duplicates all signals received from the indicator from all timeframes for the current pair.
Removed the old logic signals, instead introduced a list of logic
Tired of guessing? Switch to a systematic edge.

INVERTED_BREAK_BB_RANGE – combination of inverted break out and break in signals
An additional signal modifier Candles_Flip has been added, by default it is set to NO, if you select YES, i.e. enable it, an additional condition for changing the direction of candlesticks will be added to any of the signals: for buy signals – a bearish candle to a bull, for sell signals – a bullish candle to a bearish.
In the MTF_Alerts parameter you can list the timeframes from which you want to receive alert notifications m1 m5 m15 m30 h1 h4 d1 w1 mn separated by spaces
If you want to work only with the current timeframe, leave this parameter empty.
If you want to work with current candle signals just switch Calculation parameter from PREVIOUS_CANDLE to CURRENT_CANDLE method.

Hello projectreaper Team ,
I seen this indicator and it look like that this indicator is better than many things can you please add one more thing in this buffer value for call and put signal so that i can automate this indicator with my auto trading setup to check capacity of this indicator ?
Many thanks in advance. Keep up your Good Work !
Hi! if you using automation the better way is to do not call a custom indicator for bb signals trading, use just calculation from expert advisor instead.
hi sir is it possible to make arrows appear at start of live current candle non repaint?
thanks
khan
just set calculation parameter to current candle in the settings.
Hi MQLDev,
Using and testing this BB indicator Alert.
Please advise if possible to have at least two alerts.. Ex. BB Break in and BB Break out or other combinations as per your dropdown list.
Cause I do using two Alerts in and out, direct or inverted but using two charts, one is showing in alerts and other out alerts, but if I could have in both in a single chart, that may do better and lesser my windows open.
Thanks and regards,
Nic
Hi, Nick,
yeah I understand your point, till today no one of bb traders needed that type of alerts combinations, I’ll think about how to implement that with user friendly method. Will send you via email my input on this.
Updated indicator have combined mode.
Just added ability to get signals at current candle when price hits the bollinger bands, check the Calculation parameter.
i have alerts from all candle timeframes ut i will have only from M30 H1 and D1.
How can i change that ?
Just modify MTF_Alerts parameter in it’s settings, delete all unwanted timeframes from this line.
Hi Sir, very nice update you make it. I have 2 question;
1) BREAK OUT BB means signal when price close outside top & low BB?
2) Can i change BB deviation to default BB deviation (2.0)?
Hi.
1. Yes.
2. Yes, you can change it by your will.
Very great indicator! Would it be possible to add an extra option that will allow to send the signal only if RSI is in a specific range?
Thanks!
Yep I understand your input but this is simple indicator I don’t want over complicate it. This is already have a lot of options if I add another four settings this is would be too much I think.
Hello,
This is very AMAZING indicator, I have made profit on it in just a few days I’ve been using it, but because of the color of my charts and another indicator I use, the arrows of “Projectreaper Bollinger bands MTF alert” indicator paints inside of an area that is the same color as the arrow and I can not see it, would it be possible to make the arrow color, arrow size and distance from candle input options? This would be a very helpful feature only enhancing the indicator for better use.
Thank You in Advance
I see, yep for sure I will add the colors picker in the settings and also our russian users asked to add option to choose type of the price (open, close, high, low) for calculation of the indicator. at the moment our team making new service for automation of trading with international community, team trading straight up from the charts here http://xentrader.online/ we want to meet traders from all around of the world in your charts – it’s still in the process so far so good, after official launch I will return to add the features to the indicator.
Hello,
Great Indicator, I am also interested in the below feature, has it been added yet?
“Eric September 16, 2018 at 6:15 pm – Is it possible to code an indicator that will alert when: the first candle has opened inside the bands and closed outside the bands and then another candle then opens outside the bands but closes inside the bands in the opposite direction?”
Is it possible to code an indicator that will alert when: the first candle has opened inside the bands and closed outside the bands and then another candle then opens outside the bands but closes inside the bands in the opposite direction?
Hi, Eric
yes it’s possible, it need revision of that indicator, I planned to update this indi after new online service developing process currently I’m in. By the way Xentrader software have that BreakIN bollinger kind of trading signals, when I add this to the freeware bollinger indicator I will send you email about that.
Has this been done yet?
Yes it’s called fake break out logic in the signals list.
PLEASE EMAIL ME URGENT: this indicator only alerts on the second candle to close outside the bands. I NEED one to alert me on the first candle to close outside the bands man.
please email me bro to have this made.
This indicator is alert you only when bar opened and closed outside of the bands. So the first should penetrate the band line and the second bar if not closed inside the bands range will send the alert. This is for AllSignals parameter set to true.
Download it here.
Hi bro. Thanks for making this indicator. I have a question that im confused about.
Which option do i use to get an alert as soon as a candle closes outside of the bands.
Hi.
To set the alerts you need to set timeframes, allsignals parameter to true, and set to true the needed alerts types mail push etc.

Hello sir.,
I have checked this indicator. Forward test and backtest(strategy tester) the arrows are disappearing… While comparing forward test there are somany arrows.. But in backrest one arrow only showing… So it means that this is also repainting indicator sir….
Pay attention the delete arrows parameter first. And the indicator have three signal logic read carefully. And the last thing – in strategies tester of mt4 terminal work with multiple timeframes are incorrect you should keep in mind that. First of all this is alert indicator originally made by request for binary trader to have alerts in a phone from all timeframes bollinger bands.
Hi,
Thanks for your contribution, many traders like me is looking for same and, yes it is what w want.
I had downloaded and installed and set alerts, arrows, signals to be true and on testing it doesn’t show any arrows. I tried all options what you mentioned here but nothing worked. Can you please provide tutorials or guideline in which it is shown how it worked, so from next time if anybody have any problem in working with indicator can take reference of it.
Thanks.
Hello, Jim.
This indicator I’ve made by request from binary trader and yes it have special logic.
Arrows drawing only for current timeframe and only for current signals it means first arrow will appear when new signal will formed.
In the case if you using multiple timeframes in the settings of the indicator all other timeframes signals will be sent you as alerts only.
If you want to test it on strategies tester just enable Draw_Arrows parameter and let the price to form some signals with arrows.
Hi Sir, 1st of all thanks for the super-nice indicator.
1 question, which signal i have to choose if i want signal when candle closed outside BB?
Hello. You can turn to true AllSignals option in the case if you want to receive signal about all candles closed out of bb range this option overwrite OnlyStrong signals setting.
OnlyStrong signals means if price break out bb range and next candle closed reversal to the range, for example: price break out higher bb line with bullish movement and next bearish candle closed higher high bb line would be signal.
In timeframes option choose which timeframes do you need to analyze or leave it blank to work only in current tf. Good day!
Hi,
I am receiving alerts via email however no arrows are appearing?
The arrows have been set to True and the Delete to False.
Please help.
Hello! Arrows drawing only for current timeframe signals other timeframes are only alerting. If you want to trade only on current timeframe just leave blank timeframes option in the settings.
Hi! There is a variavle “Alert” with value “Alert setting” so should i input here smth to be notifed? Cuz there is no sound alert when the signal is.
Hi. Yep by default all Alerts are inactive. You should set to true needed notifications methods.
When I change the indicator setting they don’t save. Is there a way to get them to save?
Hi. So when you changing the settings you need just press OK button in the indicators properties window. It should be saved and applied in that case. Also you can save it to a file and load by pressing load and save buttons.
You can find official mt4 terminal help docs link in the right side bar of the site in desktop browser β‘ β‘
Or below in mobile browser β¬ β¬
I downloaded and unzipped the file, but it’s still not showing up in Custom Indicators in my MT4…
Hi.
1. You need to copy the file to you mt4 indicators directory.
2. You need to restart mt4 terminal or refresh list of indicators by clicking right mouse button on the list and choosing menu command refresh.
signals not coming up, any help please
Just turn on the signals in the Indicator settings. Just turn needed alerts methods from false value to true.
Wanted to test the indicator, but it does not show or draw the arrows
Hey there.
If you want to receive the signals you should turn to true needed signal settings. This Indicator drawing arrows at new signal forming. The better way to understand how it works is to use strategies tester it will save your time in matching settings to your trading style.
