Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands measure price volatility by plotting standard deviation bands around a moving average. AlgoZilla uses the BB Position (where price sits within the bands, normalized 0-1) as a volatility-adjusted momentum gauge.

Beyond Simple Squeeze Detection

Most traders watch for band squeezes. Our model goes deeper — it tracks BB position across time and combines it with Williams %R and RSI to detect when volatility compression precedes a directional move. The key insight: BB position + momentum delta = timing signal.
