The Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when volatility falls to low levels and the Bollinger Bands narrow.
According to John Bollinger, periods of low volatility are often followed by periods of high volatility. Therefore, a volatility contraction or narrowing of the bands can foreshadow a significant advance or decline.
A common way to define a Squeeze is when the Bollinger Band is within the Keltner Channel.

The AT BBSqueeze indicator can be used as a separate panel indicator, but also as a price panel (chart) indicator.
In the first case it will trigger signals as a Non Market Direction Indicator (so strength only), in the second case it will act as a MDI with normal signals.

When the indicator is shown overlaying the price panel it behaves like a Market Direction Indicator, and generates these signals:

Strong LongWhen the Keltner and Bollinger signals are both Strong Long
Weak LongWhen at least one of the Keltner and Bollinger signals is Weak Long, and the other is not Short
NoneWhen the other conditions aren’t valid
Weak ShortWhen at least one of the Keltner and Bollinger signals is Weak Short, and the other is not Long
Strong ShortWhen the Keltner and Bollinger signals are both Strong Short

Strength Signals (separate panel)

When the indicator is in a separate panel it behaves like a Strength Indicator, and generates these signals:

No Squeeze (1.0)When the squeeze is not active
Strong (0.75)n/a
Squeeze (0.5)When the squeeze is active
Weak (0.25)n/a
Zero (0)n/a
If there’s a squeeze other indicators signals will be halved
