Highs/Lows difference [OrganicPunch]Highs/Lows difference indicator
To visually evaluate the difference between highs and lows of a price range.
This handsome indicator shows:
difference between highs of 2 candles by displaying it in green histogram
difference between lows of 2 candles by displaying it in red histogram
difference between both highs and lows by displaying a circle at the level of the difference
To read the numerical value, point at the circle of the relevant bar you are interested in, and see the scale.
Indicator is useful in creating strategies where you want to filter out consolidations/ranges (or to locate them), e.g. "Open trade when H/L difference is larger than 200", or "Look for candles with H/L difference lesser than 50".
The exact value of needed H/L difference can be found using this indicator.

FxCanli RangeFxCanli Range is an indicator based on ICT Internal Range and External Range concept.
What is ICT Internal Range Liquidity?
The Fair Value Gap is marked as the ICT internal range liquidity.
ICT Fair Value Gap is marked as the liquidity because it is a formation of three candles leaving an area between high and low of 1st and 3rd candle where price do not overlap.
FxCanli Range Indicator draws all Internal Ranges above explaining the ICT internal range liquidity.
What is Imbalance (FVG)?
Fair Value Gaps are price jumps caused by imbalanced buying and selling pressures.
A bullish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle.
A bearish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.
What is ICT External Range Liquidity?
The swing high and swing low of an ICT dealing range are termed as external range.
The high of an ICT dealing range is termed as “buy side liquidity” assuming the buy stops rest above the high of dealing range.
While the low of an ICT dealing range is known as “sell side liquidity” assuming the sell stops resting below the low of dealing range.
FxCanli Range Indicator draws all External Ranges above explaining the ICT external range liquidity
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
As ICT said us, Price moves 2 side, Internal Liquidity or External Liquidity
External Range Liquidity to Internal Range Liquidity
When price reached to External Range, it will sweep the External Range Liquidity
at that time, we have to wait price to reverse and start to move to Internal range liquidity (FVG)
our strategy has to be like this; we have to open 2 time less lower time frame
if we are at 1 hour chart, we have to open 1Hour - 15 min - 5 min chart
and wait for Trend Reversal pattern at there
Internal Range Liquidity to External Range Liquidity
When price reached to Internal Range(FVG), it will fill the imbalance
at that time, we have to wait price to reverse and start to move to External Range Liquidity.
Again we have to decrease our time frame 2 times.
if we are at 1 hour chart, we have to open 1Hour -> 15 min -> 5 min chart
and wait for Trend Reversal pattern at there

Judas Swing ICT 01 [TradingFinder] New York Midnight Opening M15🔵 Introduction
The Judas Swing (ICT Judas Swing) is a trading strategy developed by Michael Huddleston, also known as Inner Circle Trader (ICT). This strategy allows traders to identify fake market moves designed by smart money to deceive retail traders.
By concentrating on market structure, price action patterns, and liquidity flows, traders can align their trades with institutional movements and avoid common pitfalls. It is particularly useful in FOREX and stock markets, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points while minimizing risks from false breakouts.
In today's volatile markets, understanding how smart money manipulates price action across sessions such as Asia, London, and New York is essential for success. The ICT Judas Swing strategy helps traders avoid common pitfalls by focusing on key movements during the opening time and range of each session, identifying breakouts and false breakouts.
By utilizing various time frames and improving risk management, this strategy enables traders to make more informed decisions and take advantage of significant market movements.
In the Judas Swing strategy, for a bullish setup, the price first touches the high of the 15-minute range of New York midnight and then the low. After that, the price returns upward, breaks the high, and if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback, a buy signal is generated.
bearish setup, the price first touches the low of the range, then the high. With the price returning downward and breaking the low, if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback to the low, a sell signal is generated.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively implement the Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) in trading, traders must first identify the price range of the 15-minute window following New York midnight. This range, consisting of highs and lows, sets the stage for the upcoming movements in the London and New York sessions.
🟣 Bullish Setup
For a bullish setup, the price first moves to touch the high of the range, then the low, before returning upward to break the high. Following this, a pullback occurs, and if a valid candlestick confirmation (such as a reversal pattern) is observed, a buy signal is generated. This confirmation could indicate the presence of smart money supporting the bullish movement.
🟣 Bearish Setup
For a bearish setup, the process is the reverse. The price first touches the low of the range, then the high. Afterward, the price moves downward again and breaks the low. A pullback follows to the broken low, and if a bearish candlestick confirmation is seen, a sell signal is generated. This confirmation signals the continuation of the downward price movement.
Using the Judas Swing strategy enables traders to avoid fake breakouts and focus on strong market confirmations. The strategy is versatile, applying to FOREX, stocks, and other financial instruments, offering optimal trading opportunities through market structure analysis and time frame synchronization.
To execute this strategy successfully, traders must combine it with effective risk management techniques such as setting appropriate stop losses and employing optimal risk-to-reward ratios. While the Judas Swing is a powerful tool for predicting price movements, traders should remember that no strategy is entirely risk-free. Proper capital management remains a critical element of long-term success.
By mastering the ICT Judas Swing strategy, traders can better identify entry and exit points and avoid common traps from fake market movements, ultimately improving their trading performance.
🔵 Setting
Opening Range : High and Low identification time range.
Extend : The time span of the dashed line.
Permit : Signal emission time range.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that helps traders identify fake moves and align their trades with institutional actions, reducing risk and enhancing their ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
By leveraging key levels such as range highs and lows, fake breakouts, and candlestick confirmations, traders can enter trades with more precision. This strategy is applicable in forex, stocks, and other financial markets and, with proper risk management, can lead to consistent trading success.
RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.
Expected Move BandsExpected Moves
The Expected Move of a security shows the amount that a stock is expected to rise or fall from its current market price based on its level of volatility or implied volatility. The expected move of a stock is usually measured with standard deviations.
An Expected Move Range of 1 SD shows that price will be near the 1 SD range 68% of the time given enough samples.
Expected Move Bands
This indicator gets the Expected Move for 1-4 Standard Deviation Ranges using Historical Volatility. Then it displays it on price as bands.
The Expected Move indicator also allows you to see MTF Expected Moves if you want to.
This indicator calculates the expected price movements by analyzing the historical volatility of an asset. Volatility is the measure of fluctuation.
This script uses log returns for the historical volatility calculation which can be modelled as a normal distribution most of the time meaning it is symmetrical and stationary unlike other scripts that use bands to find "reversals". They are fundamentally incorrect.
What these ranges tell you is basically the odds of the price movement being between these levels.
If you take enough samples, 95.5% of the them will be near the 2nd Standard Deviation. And so on. (The 3rd Standard deviation is 99.7%)
For higher timeframes you might need a smaller sample size.

Volumetric Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Volumetric Toolkit is a complete and comprehensive set of tools that display price action-related analysis methods from volume data.
A total of 4 features are included within the toolkit. Symbols that do not include volume data will not be supported by the script.
🔶 USAGE
The volumetric toolkit puts a heavy focus on price action, returning support/resistance levels, ranges, volume divergences...etc.
The main premise between each feature is that volume has a direct relationship with market participants level of interest over a specific symbol, and that this interest is not constant over time.
Each individual feature is detailed below.
🔹 Ranges Of Interest
The Ranges Of Interest construct a range from a surge of high liquidity in the market. This range is constructed from the price high and price low of the candle with the associated significant liquidity.
The returned extremities can be used as support and resistance, with breakouts often being accompanied by significant liquidity as well, suggesting potential trend continuations.
The length setting associated with this feature determines how sensitive the range detection algorithm is to volume, with higher values requiring more significant volume in order to display a new range.
🔹 Impulses
Impulses highlight times when volume makes a new higher high while the price makes a new higher high or lower low, suggesting increased market participation.
When this occurs when the price makes a new higher high the impulse is considered bullish (green), if the price makes a new lower low the impulse is bearish (red).
Impulses occurring within an established trend opposite to it (e.g a bearish impulse on an uptrend) might be indicative of reversals.
The length setting works similarly to the previously described ranges of interest, with higher values requiring longer-term volume higher high and price higher high/lower low, highlighting more significant impulse and potentially longer-term reversals.
🔹 Levels Of Interest
Levels of interest display price levels of significant trading activity, contrary to the range of interest only the closing price is taken into account, also volume peaks are used to detect significant trading activity.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
Users can determine the amount of most recent levels to display on the chart. These can be used as classical support/resistances.
🔹 Volume Divergence
We define volume divergence as a decreased market participation while a trend is still developing.
More precisely volume divergences are highlighted if volume makes a lower high while price is making a new higher high/lower low.
This can be indicative of a lack of further participation in the current trend, indicating a potential reversal.
Using higher length values will return longer-term divergences.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.

Tight Range Display with Background🌟 Tight Range Transparency Display with Background
What Is This Indicator?
Hey traders! Ever wanted a simple way to spot those quiet, low-volatility moments in the market that often signal a big move is coming? The Tight Range Transparency Display with Background does exactly that! This indicator highlights periods where the price is moving in a tight range—think of it as the calm before the storm. It paints the chart background blue to show these zones, with the shade getting darker the tighter the range becomes. It’s like having a visual cue to say, “Hey, something might be brewing here!”
Why You’ll Love It
Spot Key Moments Easily: The blue background makes it super easy to see when the market is in a tight range, which often happens before breakouts or big trends.
Customizable Settings: You can tweak the range thresholds to match your trading style—whether you’re looking for super tight zones or slightly broader ones.
Visual Clarity: The background gets darker when the range is tighter, giving you a quick sense of how compressed the price action is.
Perfect for Any Market: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, or any chart you trade, across any timeframe.
How to Use It
Add It to Your Chart:
Just copy this script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and hit "Add to Chart." It’ll overlay right on your price chart.
Tweak the Settings:
Open the indicator settings and use the dropdown menus to pick your preferred "Tight Range %" and "Wide Range %." For example, set a Tight Range % of 2.0% to catch smaller ranges, or go higher like 10.0% for broader ones.
You can also adjust the ATR Period (default is 5) to make the indicator more or less sensitive to recent price swings.
Watch for the Blue Background:
When the price enters a tight range, the chart background turns blue. The darker the blue, the tighter the range—meaning a potential breakout could be closer!
Trade Smarter:
Use these tight range zones to prepare for potential breakouts. For example, if you see a dark blue background, it might be a good time to watch for a big price move.
Pair this with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume spikes to confirm your trades.
Who Is This For?
Swing Traders: Perfect for spotting consolidation zones before a big swing.
Breakout Traders: Tight ranges often lead to breakouts—use this to time your entries.
Smart Money Followers: If you’re into smart money concepts, tight ranges can signal accumulation or distribution phases.
Beginners & Pros Alike: It’s easy to use for new traders but powerful enough for seasoned pros.
Real-World Example
Imagine you’re trading a stock on a 1-hour chart. You notice the background turns blue, and it’s getting darker over a few bars. This tells you the price range is tightening—maybe the stock is consolidating after a big move. You check your other indicators, see a volume spike, and spot a breakout above resistance. Boom! You catch the next big trend, all because this indicator helped you focus on the right moment.
Tips for Best Results
Try Different Timeframes: Tight ranges on a 15-minute chart might signal short-term moves, while a daily chart could highlight bigger trends.
Adjust for Your Market: For volatile markets like crypto, you might want a higher Tight Range % (e.g., 10.0%). For calmer markets like forex, try a lower setting (e.g., 2.0%).
Combine with Other Tools: Use this alongside trendlines, moving averages, or volume indicators to confirm your setups.
Why I Made This
I created this indicator because I wanted a simple, visual way to spot those critical low-volatility zones without cluttering my chart. The dynamic background color makes it intuitive to see when the market is “coiling up” for a potential move. I hope it helps you find better trading opportunities just like it does for me!

Normalized True Range - Grouped by WeekdaysThis indicator helps traders analyze daily volatility patterns across different days of the week by calculating normalized price ranges.
Unlike traditional volatility measures, it uses a normalized approach by dividing the daily range (high-low) by the midpoint price and multiplying by 100, providing a percentage-based measure that's comparable across different price levels. This normalization makes it particularly useful for comparing volatility patterns across different assets or time periods.
The indicator also includes a statistical overlay that highlights extreme volatility events. By calculating the 5th and 95th percentiles of the normalized ranges within your specified date range, it creates upper and lower bounds that help identify outlier days where volatility was exceptionally high or low.
These bounds appear as horizontal lines on the chart, making it easy to spot when current volatility breaks out of its historical norms.
The data is presented in both visual and tabular formats, with a comprehensive table showing the maximum, minimum, average, and 25th percentile ranges for each day of the week. This dual presentation allows traders to both quickly spot patterns visually and access detailed statistics for deeper analysis.
The user can customize the analysis period through simple date range inputs, making it flexible for different analytical timeframes.
Twin Range Filter VisualizedVisulaized version of @colinmck's Twin Range Filter version on TradingView.
On @colinmck's Twin Range Filter version, you can only see Long and Short signals on the chart.
But in this version of TRF, users can visually see the BUY and SELL signals on the chart with an added line of TRF.
TRF is an average of two smoothed Exponential Moving Averages, fast one has 27 bars of length and the slow one has 55 bars.
The purpose is to obtain two ranges that price fluctuates between (upper and lower range) and have LONG AND SHORT SIGNALS when close price crosses above the upper range and conversely crosses below lower range.
I personally combine the upper and lower ranges on one line to see the long and short signals with my own eyes so,
-BUY when price is higher or equal to the upper range level and the indicator line turns to draw the lower range to follow the price just under the bars as a trailing stop loss indicator like SuperTrend.
-SELL when price is lower or equal to the lower range levelline under the bars and then the indicator line turns to draw the upper range to follow the price just over the bars in that same trailing stop loss logic.
There are also two coefficients that adjusts the trailing line distance levels from the price multiplying the effect of the faster and slower moving averages.
The default values of the multipliers:
Fast range multiplier of Fast Moving Average(27): 1.6
Slow range multiplier of fSlow Moving Average(55): 2
Remember that if you enlarge these multipliers you will enlarge the ranges and have less but lagging signals. Conversely, decreasing the multipliers will have small ranges (line will get closer to the price and more signals will occur)
ICT Friday's Asian Range°This concept was engineered and taught by the Inner Circle Trader .
The goal of this script is to outline a potential draw on liquidity for the next trading week. It gives a parameter for ICT PD Arrays to be located above and below the marketplace and should be used in conjunction with the higher Timeframe Arrays as defined by ICT.
If there is a higher Timeframe array with a standard deviation confluence of the Friday Asian Range it is considered high probability for price to reach up/down to that level, and present a potential retracement or reversal.
The Asian Range is defined as the window of Time between 7PM to Midnight New York Time. In this case we will be only using the Friday's Asian Range which will take place on Thursday between these Times.
We have two ranges: a Body range made of the highest and lowest candle bodies, and a Wick range made by the highest and lowest candle wicks.
ICT teaches that we only want to apply this concept to the 5minute and 15minute chart.
THIS SCRIPT WILL NOT WORK ON ANY OTHER TIMEFRAME OUT OF THE BOX

Consolidation Range Tracker[Trendoscope]🎲 Introducing Consolidation Range Tracker: Visualising Price Consolidation after Impulsive Moves
ConsolidationRangeTracker is an innovative indicator designed to assist traders in identifying and tracking price consolidation zones following impulsive market moves. This indicator is built on Auto Motive Wave indicator and Interactive Motive Wave indicator. This is also an attempt to plot Wyckoff Distribution pattern. But, instead of implying the price movement after consolidation, we are just leaving it to the interpretation of the users.
🎲 Process
Find impulse wave using the methods defined in Auto Motive Wave indicator and Interactive Motive Wave indicator
Define the range of consolidation based on predefined ratio (available as input settings)
Track the price movement within range along with number of bars and cumulative volume.
When price breaks out of the range, check if price ranged long enough to consider it as consolidation.
Retain the drawings and visualisation if the consolidation is confirmed before the breakout. Or else, remove them from the chart to keep it clean.
Overall output can be visualised as
Note : Patterns will not be there on the chart every time. It is normal for indicator not to show any drawings or patterns on the chart.
🎲 Stages of the Indicator
🎯 When an Impulse is formed
When an impulse wave is detected, wave is drawn on the chart along with details such as number of bars and volume spawning the impulse wave and the calculated range based on the input value. An alert of new impulse is also triggered if configured for alerts.
🎯 When an Impulse is updated
When price extends further without consolidating, the impulse wave is also updated to consider the latest values. This repaint is expected and as designed. We will also trigger an alert related to update of an impulse wave.
🎯 Update of range as and when it happens
Range is not bound and it keeps moving based on the highest and lowest price. Value of range is constant and it is calculated based on certain ratio of impulse as configured in settings. But, this range can move up and down based on which direction the price moves.
For example, this is the initial range when the impulse wave is formed.
But, after certain bars, we can see that the range shift slightly up because, price has more upward movement than downward.
No alerts are triggered during this phase.
🎯 Confirmed consolidation
Consolidation range is confirmed after price range through certain bars with respect to number of bars involved in the impulse wave. The default setting of 1 for range bar ratio means that range is confirmed when price ranges for same number of bars as that of impulse.
An alert is triggered when consolidation range is confirmed.
🎯 Breakout
Breakout happen if the price exceeds the range bracket. Breakout may happen either before or after confirmation of consolidation. In either case, an alert is triggered.
Patterns are removed from the chart if the consolidation is not confirmed. In other words, the price did not stay in range for long time.
🎲 Settings
Simple settings to define the zigzag base and few pattern related configuration.
🎲 Alerts
Alerts are configured using alert function and are triggered in following scenarios.
A new impulse created
An impulse wave is updated
Consolidation range confirmed
Breakout with/without confirmed consolidation.
🎲 Use Cases
Indicator can be used for identifying few types of patterns on the chart. But, they may involve user's discretion. Major patterns that can be identified are:
🎯 Flag Formation Consolidation after an impulse can be termed as flag and is a sign of trend continuation after consolidation.
🎯 Wyckoff Distribution Long consolidation with high volume after an impulse can be a sign of wyckoff distribution formation. This pattern is trend reversal pattern.
TrendDECODER by MetaSignalsProTrendDECODER
The fastest indicator to detect trends and price ranges
-------------------------------------------------------------------
✔️ Identify ranges and the next probable direction
✔️ Get the earliest signals and the strength of Trends
✔️ Get clear exits signals before reversal
✔️ Spot the Fibo levels the price will test
-------------------------------------------------------------------
📌 What is it about ?
--------------------------
TrendDECODER is a concentrate of multiple innovations to make Trend following simple and easy.
Please see in the 🛠️ Calculation & Precisions section at the end of this page to know more how they work.
👉 With the GreyBox - identify when the market gets out of the Trend with a new sequence of transition. Check if the market is in Range, Continuation or Reversal (Up or Down) and wait for the closing of the box to get the Trend signal.
👉 With the DecoderSignals & Blue/Orange Clouds - once the GreyBox has delivered its message, get the new direction of the Trend and see the probable zones of pull backs during the current direction.
👉 With the Projective TrendLine - see before it happens the direction and the possible angle of the Trend with its probable range.
👉 With the RealTime TrendLine vs the Projective TrendLine - adjust immediately if the market accelerates North or South.
👉 With the RealTime TrendLine Crossing - detect at the earliest the moment the Trend gets out of track, to get out of the train.
👉 With the FiboLevels - spot immediately which price levels the market will test.
📌 For which asset?
-----------------------
TrendDECODER is universal : it works fine on all assets and all time-frames;
☝️ always work on a multi-timeframe environment to minimize risk;
📌Why we made these innovations?
---------------------------------------------
Because the trend indicators that we know, lag a lot and do not clearly identify ranges!
We need much more powerful tools than Supertrend or a couple of moving averages crossings to get this done.
📌 How to trade with TrendDECODER?
----------------------------------------------
🔹 Strategy #1: Trend Following : DecoderSignals & Blue/Orange Clouds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The GreyBOX has given the next probable movement and the Signal of a Trend in on.
The RealTime TrendLine guides us on the pace of this movement and the Blue/ Orange/Cloud figures the support/resistance of this movement.
It will be wise not to jump immediately in the Trend as the signal appears as the price will very probably make a pullback in direction of the cloud first.
🔹 Strategy #1: Checklist
📍 Set a Multi Time Frame environment
📍 Main Time Frame and the Upper Time Frame are moving in the same direction (Up or Down)
📍 Main Time Frame: appearance of the « TrendUp Signal » or the « TrendDown Signal »
📍 Entry:
☝️ buying « at Market » immediately on a « Trend Signal » is quite risky as many times the price will pull back near the Clouds
👉 a good option is to buy 1/2 the position at market on signal
👉 and 1/2 after the first pull back
📍 First Stop Loss: place your SL under the lower border of the GreyBox for an expected TrendUp or the higher border for an expected TrendDown
📍 BreakEven: when the price reaches your Risk/Reward ratio of 1 = Distance StopLoss vs Entry = Distance Current Price vs Entry
📍 Trailing Stop: just under the lowest border of the Blue Cloud (TrendUp) or the highest border of the Orange Cloud (TrendDown)
📍 TakeProfits: in a TrendUP, place your take profits just under the FibosLevels in order not to get exited (and above in a TrendDOWN)
📍 Exits:
👉 Early option : Crossing of the RealTime TrendLine
👉 Late option : Crossing of the Blue/Orange cloud
🔹 Strategy #2: Early Trend following : RealTime TrendLine Crossing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this simple tool, get a very early signal of a probable inversion of the current Trend, way before the Decoder Signal is shown, once confirmed by the GreyBOX.
🔹 Strategy #2: Checklist
📍 Set a Multi Time Frame environment
📍 Main Time Frame and the Upper Time Frame are moving in the same direction (Up or Down)
📍 Entry (Main Time Frame): wait for the Close crossing over the ReaTime TrendLine in an expected TrendUp (under for a TrendDown )
📍 First Stop Loss (Main Time Frame):
👉 place your SL under the lower low of the GreyBOX (for an expected TrendUp) or the higher high (for an expected TrendDown)
📍 BreakEven: move your SL to Entry price when the price reaches your Risk/Reward ratio of 1 = Distance StopLoss vs Entry = Distance Current Price vs Entry
📍 Trailing Stop: just under the lowest border of the Blue Cloud (TrendUp) or the highest border of the Orange Cloud (TrendDown)
📍 TakeProfits: in a TrendUP, place your take profits just under the FibosLevels in order not to get exited (and above in a TrendDOWN)
📍 Exits:
👉 Early option : Crossing of the RealTime TrendLine
👉 Late option : Crossing of the Blue/Orange cloud
🎛️ Configuration
---------------------
Well, basically you do not have to do anything !
But you can make TrendDECODER perfectly yours with a few switches in the configuration panel to make appear or disappear each one of the elements composing TrendDECODER.
🛠️ Calculation & Precisions
------------------------------------
🔹 Blue/Orange Clouds
The Blue/Orange Clouds are a proprietary synthesis of Price Action and Volume Exchange in real time.
🔹 Projective TrendLine
As soon as a new high or a new low has been reached during the last move, TrendDECODER traces a possible angle of the future movement based on the pace of the last one in the same direction.
The distance between the Projective TrendLine and the Last Lowest (resp. Highest) gives you a possible bottom (resp. top) of the price range.
🔹 RealTime TrendLine
As soon as the Decoder GreyBox has delivered its information i.e Range/Continuation/ReversalUp/ReversalDown and that a New High (resp. New Low) has been reached, the RealTime TrendLine starts to show the pace and the angle of the new movement based on a linear regression adanced concept.
The angles of the Projective and the RealTime TrendLine can be identical, telling you that the market moves smoothly in a global consensus. It can be a smart Trailing Stop Loss.
Or these angles can be very different and it will call your maximum attention. You might want to switch to a superior timeframe to get the bigger picture.
🔹 FiboLevels
Once a new Trend is signaled, the levels of Fibonnaci are automatically placed.
They are calculated on the last Highest and Lowest of the former movement.
XBrat Range Breakout - Defining Ranges & The Trading BiasxBrat Range Breakout
Designed to help define opening ranges of major markets, along with Gold Pit opens, Oil Pit opens and for major economic data points. We recommend timeframes for opening ranges on different type of instruments further down this description
There are 6 range data points available, 4 of which are pre-defined (but can be adjusted and renamed) and then 2 spare for those important data points. All the times and label names can be adjusted.
4 Pre-Defined Openings are:
Europe Gold Pit Open (8am Europe time)
London Stock Exchange Open (9am Europe time)
New York Gold Pit Open (8.20am EST)
NYSE Open (9.30am EST)
The range is defined by a parallel coloured cloud which changes colour depending on the BIAS of the opening range, calculated automatically for our users. At the same time the Open Tag is also coloured to help identify the BIAS and indeed which direction traders should trade the Range Breakout after the first candle has closed. The range BIAS continues to be drawn on the chart until the following days open. The colour will change as per the BIAS of that opening range. This allows for multiple entries of breakouts of the defined range throughout the following 24 hours.
Range Breakout BIAS Colours
Green - Bullish BIAS - When first candle has closed only look for breakouts to the upside
Red - Bearish BIAS - When first candle has closed only look for breakouts to the downside
Yellow - Neutral BIAS - When first candle closed, look for breakouts to both upside and downside or best not to trade the breakouts as neutral BIAS indicates indecision
Time Frames we suggest for open ranges of any market open or data points are:
Metals & Energy Futures or CFDs - 5 minute time frame
Currencies - Forex Pairs or Futures - 10 minute time frame
Index Futures or CFDs - 15 minute time frame
Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals indicator is designed to detect key Volume Clusters and provide Retest Signals. This tool is specifically engineered for traders looking to capitalize on volume-based trends, reversals, and key price retest points.
The indicator seamlessly combines volume analysis, dynamic cluster calculations, and retest signal logic to present a comprehensive trading framework. It adapts to market conditions, identifying clusters of volume activity and signaling when the price retests critical zones.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Cluster Detection
The indicator dynamically calculates volume clusters by analyzing the highest and lowest price points within a specified lookback period.
Cluster Logic:
Bright Lines (Strong Red/Green):
These indicate that the price has frequently revisited these levels, creating a dense cluster.
Such areas serve as support or resistance, where significant historical trading has occurred, often acting as barriers to price movement.
Traders should consider these levels as potential reversal zones or consolidation points.
Faded or Darker Lines:
These lines indicate areas where the price has less historical activity, suggesting weaker clustering.
These zones have less market memory and are more likely to break, supporting trend continuation and rapid price movement.
⚪ Candle Color Logic (Market Memory)
Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):
Candles turn blue when the price has revisited a particular area many times.
This signals a highly clustered zone, likely to act as a barrier, creating consolidation or range phases.
These areas indicate strong market memory, potentially rejecting price attempts to break through.
Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):
Once the price breaks out of these dense clusters, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish).
This suggests the price has moved into a less clustered territory, where the path forward is clearer and trends are likely to extend without immediate resistance.
⚪ Retest Signal Logic
The indicator identifies critical retest points where the price crosses a cluster boundary and then reverses. These points are essential for traders looking to catch continuation or reversal setups.
⚪ Dynamic Price Clustering
The indicator dynamically adapts the clustering logic based on price movement and volume shifts.
Uses a dynamic moving average (VPMA) to maintain adaptive cluster levels.
Integrates a Kalman Filter for smoothing, reducing noise, and improving trend clarity.
Automatically updates as new data is received, keeping the clusters relevant in real-time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following & Reversal Detection
Use Retest signals to identify potential trend continuation or reversal points.
⚪ Trading Volume Clusters and Market Memory
Identify Key Zones:
Focus on bright, saturated cluster lines (strong red or green) as they indicate high market memory, where price has spent significant time in the past.
These zones are likely to exhibit a more choppy market. Apply range or mean reversion strategies.
Spot Potential Breakouts:
Faded or darker cluster lines indicate areas of low market memory, where the price has moved quickly and spent less time.
Use these areas to identify possible trend setups, as they represent lower resistance to price movement.
⚪ Interpreting Candle Colors for Market Phases
Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):
When candles turn blue, it signals that the price has revisited this area multiple times, creating a dense cluster.
These zones often trap price movement, leading to consolidations or range phases.
Use these areas as caution zones, where price can slow down or reverse.
Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):
Once the price breaks out of these clustered zones, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish), indicating lower market memory.
This signals a trend initiation with less immediate resistance, ideal for momentum and breakout trades.
Use these signals to identify emerging trends and ride the momentum.
█ Settings

Fundamental Fair Value RangeFundamental Fair Value Range (FFV Range)
Purpose:
This indicator aims to estimate a company's intrinsic fair value range based on its historical valuation patterns and current financial health. It analyzes multiple fundamental valuation metrics to provide a comprehensive perspective, helping traders identify potential overvaluation or undervaluation relative to the company's own historical norms.
How It Works:
Data Collection: The script gathers historical financial data for the company over a user-defined number of past quarters ( Number of Quarters to Average ). It retrieves key metrics like Earnings Per Share (EPS), Book Value Per Share (BVPS), Sales Per Share, Free Cash Flow (FCF) Per Share, Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS), EBITDA, Operating Cash Flow (OCF) Per Share, Enterprise Value (EV), and Net Debt. It also pulls current TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) data, forward estimates (EPS, Sales), risk metrics (Debt-to-Equity, Altman Z-Score), and dividend yield.
Historical Ratio Calculation: For each of the past quarters where data is available, the script calculates standard valuation ratios (P/E, P/B, P/S, P/FCF, P/TBV, EV/EBITDA, P/CF) using the closing price at that time and the relevant financial data. Ratios are capped ( Maximum Ratio Cap ) to prevent extreme outliers from skewing results.
Central Tendency: The script calculates the historical central tendency (either the median or mean , selectable by the user) for each valuation ratio based on the collected historical data points. Median is generally preferred to reduce the impact of outliers, but the mean option is available.
Individual Metric Fair Values: Using the current financial data (TTM EPS, BVPS, Sales/Share, etc.) and the calculated historical average ratio , the script estimates a fair value based on each individual metric . For example:
P/E Fair Value = Current EPS * Historical Average P/E Ratio
P/S Fair Value = Current Sales Per Share * Historical Average P/S Ratio
(...and so on for P/B, P/FCF, P/TBV, and P/CF.)
Forward-Looking Adjustments & Blending:
P/E: Calculates fair value using both TTM EPS and Forward EPS estimates. These two values are then blended (averaged) to incorporate future expectations. If only one is available, that one is used.
EV/EBITDA: Calculates fair value based on TTM EBITDA and also based on estimated future EBITDA (derived from Sales Estimates and historical EBITDA margin). These are then blended . The calculation converts the Enterprise Value back to an estimated equity value per share by subtracting Net Debt.
P/S: Also calculates a forward-looking P/S fair value using Sales Estimates, which is considered alongside the TTM version when weighting.
Weighted Composite Fair Value:
The script combines the individual fair value estimates into a single composite value using a weighted average .
User-Defined Weights: You assign weights to each metric (P/E, P/S, P/FCF, P/B, P/TBV, EV/EBITDA, P/CF) via the script settings.
Dynamic Weighting: The weights for P/E, P/S, and P/FCF can be set differently depending on whether the company's current TTM EPS is positive or negative. This allows the model to emphasize sales or cash flow metrics more heavily for unprofitable companies, where P/E is less meaningful.
Risk Adjustment: The composite fair value is adjusted downwards (multiplied by 0.9 for each condition met) if:
Debt-to-Equity ratio exceeds 1.5 (indicating higher leverage risk).
Altman Z-Score is below 1.8 (indicating higher bankruptcy risk).
Dividend Adjustment: The risk-adjusted fair value is then potentially increased based on the company's dividend yield. The yield is added to the value (up to a maximum adjustment of 5% - MAX_DIV_ADJ ) to reflect the value returned to shareholders via dividends. Final Fair Value = Risk-Adjusted Value * (1 + Capped Dividend Yield) .
Confidence Range: A range is calculated around the Final Fair Value. This range is determined by the standard deviation of the individual fair value components that were actually used (had valid data and positive weights) in the composite calculation. A wider range suggests less agreement between the different valuation methods.
Valuation Signal: The script compares the current closing price to the calculated Final Fair Value and the Confidence Range, using Average True Range (ATR) based thresholds near the fair value:
Very Undervalued: Price is below the Lower Bound of the confidence range.
Undervalued: Price is below the Final Fair Value minus an ATR-based buffer.
Fairly Valued: Price is near the Final Fair Value (within the ATR buffer).
Overvalued: Price is above the Final Fair Value plus an ATR-based buffer.
Very Overvalued: Price is above the Upper Bound of the confidence range.
Features & Customization:
Multi-Metric Analysis: Incorporates P/E, P/B, P/S, P/FCF, P/TBV, EV/EBITDA, and P/CF.
Historical Basis: Choose Median or Mean for historical ratio calculation and set the lookback period (number of quarters).
Flexible Weighting: Customize the importance of each metric. Crucially, set different weights for P/E, P/S, and P/FCF based on profitability (EPS > 0 or EPS ≤ 0).
Forward Data Integration: Blends TTM and forward estimates for P/E and EV/EBITDA.
Risk & Dividend Adjustments: Automatically discounts for high debt/low Altman Z-score and premiums for dividend yield (capped).
Clear Visualization:
Plots the Final Fair Value line on the chart.
Plots the Upper and Lower Confidence Bounds (based on standard deviation).
Fills the area between bounds to show the Confidence Range.
Informative Data Table:
Displays the calculated fair value for key individual metrics, their historical average ratios, and current underlying financial values (like EPS, BVPS).
Shows risk metrics (Debt/Equity, Altman Z).
Clearly presents the Final Composite Fair Value, the Confidence Range, the current Valuation Signal (e.g., "Undervalued"), and the percentage difference between the current price and the fair value.
Simple/Full Mode: Option to display a condensed table with only the summary results or the full detailed breakdown.
Display Options: Adjust table position, text size, and switch between light/dark themes for better readability.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to a stock chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Go into the indicator settings ( Gear Icon ⚙️).
- Calculation Parameters: Set the Number of Quarters to Average (e.g., 20 for 5 years) and choose Use Mean Instead of Median if desired. Adjust Maximum Ratio Cap if needed.
- Valuation Weights: This is crucial. Adjust the weights based on the industry, company maturity, and your valuation philosophy. Consider giving higher weights to metrics commonly used for that sector. Use the separate weights for positive/negative EPS scenarios thoughtfully. For instance, for unprofitable tech stocks, you might assign zero weight to P/E and higher weights to P/S or EV/EBITDA (negative EPS weights).
- Display Options: Choose table mode, position, size, and theme.
Interpret the Output:
- Observe the plotted Fair Value line relative to the current price.
- Note the Confidence Range (shaded area). A wider range indicates more uncertainty or divergence between valuation methods.
- Check the Valuation status in the table (e.g., "Undervalued", "Overvalued").
- Use the % from Fair Value in the table for a quick gauge of deviation.
- Review the individual metric fair values in the full table mode to understand which factors are driving the composite value.
Considerations:
Historical Data Dependence: The model heavily relies on past valuation patterns repeating. Significant changes in a company's business model, market, or industry may make historical ratios less relevant.
Parameter Sensitivity: The calculated fair value is sensitive to the chosen weights and the historical lookback period. Experiment and use values that make sense for your analysis style and the specific stock.
Data Quality: The accuracy of the output depends entirely on the accuracy and availability of the underlying financial data provided by TradingView for the specific ticker. Data may be missing or contain errors for some stocks.
Not Financial Advice: This indicator provides a model-based estimation of fair value. It should be used as one tool among many in your investment decision-making process, not as a sole buy/sell signal. Always conduct thorough due diligence.

Fibonacci Period Range [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Period Range Indicator is a powerful trading tool that draws levels of support and resistance that are based on key Fibonacci levels. The script will identify the high and low of a range that is specified by the user, then draw several levels of support and resistance based on Fibonacci levels.
The script will also draw extension levels outside of the specified range that are also based on Fibonacci levels. These extension levels can be turned off in the indicator settings.
Each level is also labelled to help traders understand what each line represents. These labels can be turned off in the indicator settings.
The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by giving them the ability to customize the time period that is identified, then draw levels of support and resistance that are based on the price action during this time.
█ USAGE
In the indicator settings, the user has access to a setting called Session Range. This gives users control over the range that will be used.
The script will then identify the high and low of the range that was specified and draw several levels of support and resistance based on Fibonacci levels between this range. The user can also choose to have extension levels that display more levels outside of the range.
These lines will extend until the end of the current trading day at 5:00 pm EST.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Display Mode: Determines the number of days that will be displayed by the script.
• Show Labels: Determines whether or not identifying labels will be displayed on each line.
• Font Size: Determines the text size of labels.
• Label Position: Determines the justification of labels.
• Extension Levels: Determines whether or not extension levels will be drawn outside of the high and low of the specified range.
Session
• Session Range: Determines the time period that will be used for calculations.
• Timezone Offset (+/-): Determines how many hours the session should be offset by.
ATR Range Accumulation by Standard Deviation and Volume [SS]So, this is an indicator/premise I have been experimenting with, which mixes ATR with Z-Score and Volume metrics.
What does the indicator do?
The indicator, on the lower timeframes, uses an ATR approach to determine short-term ranges. It takes the average ATR range over a designated lookback period and plots out the levels like so:
It then calculates the Z-Score for these ATR targets (shown in the chart above) and calculates, over the designated lookback period, how often price accumulates at that standard deviation level.
The indicator is essentially a hybrid of my Z-Score Support and Resistance indicator and my frequency distribution indicator. It combines both concepts into one.
You also have the option of sorting by volume accumulation. This will display the accumulation of the ranges by volume accumulation, like so:
Larger Timeframes:
If you want to see the accumulation by volume or standard deviation on the larger timeframes, you can. Simply toggle on your preferred setting:
Show Total Accumulation Breakdown:
This will break down the levels, over the lookback period, by standard deviation. This is similar to the Z-Score support and resistance indicator. It will then show you how often price accumulates at these various standard deviation levels. Here is an example on the daily timeframe using the 1D chart settings:
Inversely, you can repeat this, with the Z-Score levels, but show accumulation by volume. This will print 5 boxes, which are between +3 Standard Deviations and -3 Standard Deviations, like so:
Here we can see that 61% of volume accumulation is between -1 and 1 standard deviation.
Using it to Trade:
For swing trading, I suggest using the larger timeframe information. However, for both swing and day traders, it is also helpful to use the ATR display. You can modify the ATR display to show the levels on any timeframe by selecting which timeframe you would like to see ATR ranges for. If you are trading on the 1 or 5-minute chart, I suggest leaving the levels at no shorter than a 60-minute timeframe.
You can also use these levels on the daily for the weekly levels, etc.
The accumulation being shown will be based on the current chart timeframe. This is a function of Pinescript, but in this case, it's actually advantageous because if you are trading on the shorter timeframe, and a level has 0% recent accumulation, it's unlikely we will see that level soon or overly quickly. Intraday retracements will generally happen to areas of high accumulation.
How this indicator is different:
The difference in this indicator comes from its focus on accumulation in relation to Standard Deviation. There is one thing that is consistent among retail traders, algorithms, market makers, and funds, and that is looking at the market in terms of standard deviation. Each person, market maker, and algorithm may be slightly nuanced in how it conceptualizes standard deviation (whether it be since the inception of the ticker (or IPO), or the previous 500 days, or the previous 100 days, etc.), but the premise remains consistent. Standard Deviation is a really important, if not the most important, metric to pay attention to. Another important metric is volume. Thus, the premise is that combining volume accumulation with standard deviation should, theoretically, be telling. We can see the extent of buying at various standard deviations and whether a stock is really a buy or not.
And that's the indicator! Hope you enjoy it. Leave your comments and questions below.

Mastering Market Structure"Market structure first, always" - Mr. Anderson aka TrueCrypto28 right before he went on to master Kung-Fu
Understanding and identifying market structure is essential for successful and consistent profitability. No system is perfect, but trading in the direction of the prevailing market structure can reduce the likelihood of being caught severely offsides and can yield trades with tighter invalidations and greater risk-to-reward potential.
This script will automatically identify and plot the following:
Market Structure
Pivot highs and lows using the lookback left and right lengths are analyzed to identify major swing highs and lows to identify the current trading range.
Bullish structure is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows.
Bearish Structure is characterized by lower highs and lower lows.
Structure breaks when a bar closes outside the current trading range. Major swing highs and lows will update following these breaks to continue following the current price action
Current market structure bias, bullish or bearish, can be displayed in a table in the location of your choosing.
Structure is fractal, so seeing low time frame structure shift against the high time frame structure can identify the beginning of a pullback. When it realigns with the high timeframe structure, it can identify the beginning of the high time frame trend continuation. You can choose to analyze structure on any timeframe with this script and even add multiple copies of it to your chart each analyzing different a timeframes to easily find high quality trade opportunities.
Fibonacci Levels of the current trading range
These are included to help identify areas of interest for trade execution and profit levels.
We want to buy at a discount and sell at a premium. The "Wholesale Zone" can be considered below the 50% retracement level in bullish structure, or above it in a bearish structure.
When in a bullish structure, "discount" buy opportunities can be found below the 50% retracement level with the expectation of trend continuation.
In a bearish structure, more ideal "premium' sell opportunities can be found above the 50% retracement with the expectation of trend continuation.
Optimal trade entry (OTE) zone, between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement can offer a great risk-to-reward ratio for execution of a new position in trending environments.
When trading sideways in a range, opening new buy positions near the bottom of the range or new sell positions from the top of the range are preferred. Midrange 50% level commonly sees some reaction and can be used as a primary target with further targets either being the opposite end of the range or lower support levels (see order block section).
Order Blocks
New Bullish and bearish order blocks are created and plotted with every respective market structure break. They identify the price level from which the most recent leg of price action that yielded the structure break began.
In strong trending environments, these levels should continue to support or resist price. They are great areas to look to enter new positions.
Order blocks can also be used as targets for your trades to avoid giving back unrealized profits as price tends to react off of these levels.
To keep your chart clean and the order blocks relevant, an order block will be automatically deleted if price trades through and closes beyond it. Otherwise, printed order blocks will remain on your chart until either it's origin bar is out of TradingView's maximum bar history allowance or their maximum box count allowance.
Pairing these with fibonacci levels, retracements into order blocks that are in the Wholesale Zone or even the OTE zone offer higher probability trades with more favorable risk-to-reward potential.
Swing Failure
Swing failure patterns (SFPs) arise when a candle takes out a swing high or low, but fails to close beyond it.
Again, pairing these with other features of this script like range boundaries, wholesale zones, OTE zones, and order blocks can help traders identify the best times to actually execute their trade as SFPs are commonly seen at points of inflection in price action.
Moving Averages
Up to 4 moving averages from the current time frame are available. MA type and lengths can be adjusted to your preference.
Up to 4 MTF MAs. By Default this is an EMA 200 as it is commonly used for trend identification and support/resistance.
These are included for confluence of trend direction and strength.
They can also act as dynamic support and resistance and so can be useful for trade execution if price bounces or rejects off of them or targets as price may do so when it reaches them.
Additionally, alerts have been coded for the following scenarios:
MS Break alerts will trigger on bar close when a break in market structure has been confirmed.
SFP alerts will trigger on bar close when the swing failure pattern has been confirmed.
Entering OB alerts will trigger as soon as price touches the closest order block.
Entering Wholesale Zone alerts will trigger as soon as price cross the 50% retracement level. This can be used as an early alert to identify assets that have undergone a significant pullback before potential continuation in the direction of the main trend.
Entering OTE Zone alerts will trigger as soon as price crosses into the Optimal Trade Entry zone between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement.
This script is unique in the way that it tracks market structure, automatically updates as price action continues to develop, presents high quality areas of interest, and SFPs for trend reversal and continuation. Traders will no longer need to constantly monitor their charts or exhaustively update their alerts to find good trade opportunities. This script takes care of all of it automatically. Collectively, all of the included features can be used to build a complete trading system.
RSI - Dynamic Overbought/Oversold RangeDefault overbought/oversold levels of RSI does not hold good for instruments which are trending well. It happens often that instruments keep trading in single half of the range for prolonged time without even touching the other half. This also came up often in tradingview pine chat discussions where I participate regularly.
Hence, thought of creating this script to help other scriptors in finding different methods to derive dynamic high/low range of RSI. This can also be adopted for other range bound oscillators - though not inlcuded in this script.
⬜ Method
▶ Derive multitimeframe RSI. Parameters - Resolution, Source and Length are pretty straight forward. Repaint when unchecked uses previous bar value.
▶ Dynamic range detection follows below steps.
Get highest and lowest of the oscillator source for Range Length period.
Use Detection method further to refine the highest and lowest range. If detection method is "highlow", then it looks for lowest value for high range and highest value for low range. If not, uses moving average.
◽Note: Detection range length is used only for finding highest and lowest of Oscillator value ranges. Further detection range method of highlow and other moving average types use Oscillator length.
Williams %RHi! WPR is the Williams percentage range indicator in my design. The main idea is that the intersection of the indicator and the moving average in the overbought and oversold zones + color highlighting gives more clear visual signals for making trading decisions based on this indicator.
ICT Time RangesICT Time Ranges is a concept around the fact that price likes to show volatility spikes in certain times of the day.
Although there are many other scripts such as that revolve around this concept, the difference between this one and some of the others out there is the fact that this code specifically focuses on the ranges like New York, London, Asia, and ICTs concept behind having a "True Day Range". Also, prior scripts draw horizontal lines to delineate the High and Low of the Day. Although this is useful in some cases, I find it to clutter up the chart too much for my liking, so this script negates any of that and simply prints a box in the parameters given within the settings pop-up. This also allows you the fact of having a shape and letter(s) marker for when a new day starts at 0:00.
With this script, you can enable / disable times of the day for:
- London Session
- New York Session
- London Close Session
- Asia Session
- "IPDA" True Day
You can also change the times that these sessions will update to, along with the opacity and color that they print to mark out these times / ranges. The same can be said with the "Day of Week" markers, which can be color coded and show different shapes / formats to your liking.
I find that putting the Session boxes opacity to 7-8% and the day of week markers to 20% is best as this makes them visible enough to see while also keeping it easy on your eyes to analyze your charts.
Overall, this script was based around specific concepts I liked from other individuals' scripts such as @BryceWH and @AvniPiro , but that are tweaked to what I personally find as most beneficial. To see others scripts like this one, you can search for "ICT Killzones" in the public script library!
Sideways Money - Bitcoin BeatsHello, Hello, Hello,
And welcome back to Bitcoin Beats.
This is another version of my previous script, "Range Indicator - Bitcoin Beats".
Designed initially for breakouts but shows adaptive ranges and consolidation in XBTUSD(Haven't tested other assets but should do the same thing).
If we are consolidating (which is most of the time) a good strategy to trade would be to trade ranges. However, as soon as you spot the range it can feel like the range has changed so you lose out on making the monies.
This indicator plots out the average range in a consolidation.
It also shows you when the range has broken in a direction that it previously hasn't broken in. This essentially signifies the the trend changing and gives warning that trading the range may no longer be valid.
There are a few ways to trade this indicator and I will explain 2 of them here.
PLEASE TRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOUR FUNDS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IF YOU TRADE WITH THESE STRATEGIES, YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES.
BY USING THIS INDICATOR YOU AGREE THAT I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN THE CASE OF YOU LOSING FUNDS.
Strategy 1:
- Have 2 bitmex accounts open.
- Use on the 30m, 1h, 3h or 12h.
- Long AND Short on both accounts when we hit the middle area. This is called the "Reload Zone".
- When we hit the edge of each side of the plotted range, close the positions in profit.
- You will then have 1 trade underwater.
- If the range is solid, the price will move back to the Reload Zone in which you reload you position that you took profit with.
- You then have both a Long AND Short open after 1 profitable trade.
- Rinse and repeat until you get the "STRATEGY CAUTION" message signifying that the range will most likely break soon.
Strategy 2(least profitable):
- When the "STRATEGY CAUTION" Message appears, you can long or short depending on which side it breaks toward.
- If we break down, short.
- If we break up, Long.
I wouldn't advise this second strategy if you are a beginner as the results are inconclusive and it's more of a hybrid trading strategy, meaning you have to know how to trade with price action flowing.
Usually if it is appearing volatile, you can go to a higher time frame and find the exact range it's catering to, adjusting your strategy accordingly.
See you soon,
