Rolling Range Bands by tvig

Rolling Range Bands
Plots two dynamic price envelopes that track the highest and lowest prices over a Short and Long lookback. Use them to see near-term vs. broader market structure, evolving support/resistance, and volatility changes at a glance.
What it shows
• Short Bands: recent trading range (fast, more reactive).
• Long Bands: broader range (slow, structural).
• Optional step-line style and shaded zones for clarity.
• Option to use completed bar values to avoid intrabar jitter (no repaint).
How to read
• Price pressing the short high while the long band rises → short-term momentum in a larger uptrend.
• Price riding the short low inside a falling long band → weakness with trend alignment.
• Band squeeze (narrowing) → compression; watch for breakout.
• Band expansion (widening) → rising volatility; expect larger swings.
• Repeated touches/rejections of long bands → potential areas of support/resistance.
Inputs
• Short Window, Long Window (bars)
• Use Close only (vs. High/Low)
• Use completed bar values (stability)
• Step-line style and Band shading
Tips
• Works on any symbol/timeframe; tune windows to your market.
• For consistent scaling, pin the indicator to the same right price scale as the chart.
Not financial advice; combine with trend/volume/RSI or your system for entries/exits.
