LA - Opening Price based Previous day Range PivotThis "LA - Opening Price based Previous day Range Pivot" indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for Trading View charts. It plots support and resistance levels (often referred to as pivots or ranges) based on the current opening price combined with the previous period's trading range. The "previous period" can be daily, weekly, or monthly, making it a multi-timeframe tool. These levels are projected using Fibonacci-inspired multipliers to create potential breakout or reversal zones.
The core idea is inspired by concepts like the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy or Fibonacci pivots, but it's customized here to use a dynamic range calculation (the maximum of several absolute price differences) rather than a simple high-low range. This makes it more robust for volatile markets. Levels are symmetric above (resistance) and below (support) the opening price, helping traders identify potential entry/exit points, stop-losses, or targets. This will be useful when there is a gap-up/down as in Nifty/Sensex .
Purpose of the Indicator:
To visualize potential support/resistance zones for the current trading session based on the opening price and historical range data. This helps traders anticipate price movements, such as breakouts above resistance or bounces off support
Use Cases:
Intraday Trading: On lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min charts), it shows daily levels for short-term trades.
Swing Trading: On higher timeframes (e.g., hourly or daily), it displays weekly/monthly levels for longer holds.
Range Identification: The filled bands highlight "zones" where price might consolidate or reverse.
Conditional Display: Levels only appear on appropriate timeframes (e.g., daily levels on intraday charts <60min), preventing clutter.
Theoretical Basis: It builds on pivot point theory, where the opening price acts as a central pivot. Multipliers (e.g., 0.618 for Fibonacci golden ratio) project levels, assuming price often respects these ratios due to market psychology.
How Calculations Work
Let's dive into the math with examples. Assume a stock with:
Current daily open (cdo) = $100
Previous daily high (pdh) = $105, low (pdl) = $95, close (pdc) = $102, close 2 days ago (pdc2) = $98
Step 1: Dynamic Range Calculation (var_d2):
This is the max of:
|pdh - pdc2| = |105 - 98| = 7
|pdl - pdc2| = |95 - 98| = 3
|pdh - pdl| = |105 - 95| = 10 (previous day range)
|pdh - cdo| = |105 - 100| = 5
|pdl - cdo| = |95 - 100| = 5
|pdc - cdo| = |102 - 100| = 2
|pdc2 - cdo| = |98 - 100| = 2
Max = 10 (so range = 10). This ensures the range accounts for gaps and extended moves, not just high-low.
Step 2: Level Projections:
Resistance (above open): Open + (Range * Multiplier)
dre6 = 100 + (10 * 1.5) = 115
dre5 = 100 + (10 * 1.27) ≈ 112.7
... down to dre0 = 100 + (10 * 0.1) = 101
dre50 = 100 + (10 * 0.5) = 105 (midpoint)
Support (below open): Open - (Range * Multiplier)
dsu0 = 100 - (10 * 0.1) = 99
... up to dsu6 = 100 - (10 * 1.5) = 85

Pros and Cons
Pros:
Multi-Timeframe Flexibility: Seamlessly integrates daily, weekly, and monthly levels, useful for aligning short-term trades with longer trends (e.g., intraday breakout confirmed by weekly support).
Dynamic Range Calculation: Unlike standard pivots (just (H+L+C)/3), it uses max of multiple diffs, capturing gaps/volatility better—great for stocks with overnight moves.
Customizable via Inputs: Users can toggle levels, adjust multipliers, or change timeframes without editing code. Inline inputs keep the UI clean.
Visual Aids: Filled bands make zones obvious; conditional colors highlight "tight" vs. "wide" ranges (e.g., for volatility assessment).
Fibonacci Integration: Levels based on proven ratios, appealing to technical traders. Symmetric supports/resistances simplify strategy building (e.g., buy at support, sell at resistance).
No Repainting: Uses historical data with lookahead, so levels are fixed once calculated—reliable for back-testing.
Cons:
Chart Clutter: With all toggles on, 50+ plots/fills can overwhelm the chart, especially on mobile or small screens. Requires manual disabling.
Complexity for Beginners: Many inputs and calculations; without understanding fib ratios or range logic, it might confuse new users.
Performance Overhead: On low timeframes (e.g., 1-min), fetching higher TF data multiple times could lag, especially with many symbols or back-tests.
Assumes Volatility Persistence: Relies on previous range projecting future moves; in low-vol markets (e.g., sideways trends), levels may be irrelevant or too wide/narrow.
No Alerts or Signals: Purely visual; no built-in buy/sell alerts or crossover conditions—users must add separately.
Hardcoded Styles/Colors: Limited customization without code edits (e.g., can't change line styles via inputs).
Also, not optimized for non-stock assets (e.g., forex with 24/7 trading).
In summary, this is a versatile pivot tool for range-based trading based on Opening price, excelling in volatile markets but requiring some setup. If you're using it, start with defaults on a daily chart and toggle off unnecessary levels.

Opening Range TraderThis indicator, "Opening Range Trader," provides visual tools for defining and tracking two customizable intraday ranges plus today’s open, high, and low. It is designed for day traders to identify support, resistance, and breakout opportunities by automatically marking key price levels that often shape the day's momentum.
It offers:
Customizable start and end times for two independent time ranges.
Toggle options to display lines for the selected ranges and for today’s open, high, and low.
Automatic adaptation for New York market hours.
Real-time updates for session highs/lows and today’s evolving levels.
Traders use this to watch for breakouts above or below the opening range (ORB strategy), to fade false moves when price returns inside the range, or to participate in trending moves after volatility begins. A common setup is entering long on closes above the range high, or short on closes below the range low, with stops and targets based on the range’s width or the opposite boundary.
Risk management approaches include placing stop losses at the midpoint or at the opposite end of the range, and adjusting targets for measured moves. Volume confirmation can help filter valid breakouts, while adapting times for specific assets and trading styles maximizes flexibility.
The second range allows traders to repeat similar strategies later in the session for evolving momentum windows, making this indicator useful for multiple intraday setups.
Multi-Symbol Volatility Tracker with Range DetectionMulti-Symbol Volatility Tracker with Range Detection

Last Candle %: The percentage range of the most recent 5-minute candle
Last 5 Candle Avg %: Average percentage range over the last 5 candles
RANGE: Shows "YES" (blue) or "NO" (gray) indicating if the symbol is currently ranging
🔍 How to Identify Trading Opportunities:
Look for symbols that combine these characteristics:
RANGE column shows "YES" (highlighted in blue) - This means the symbol is moving sideways, perfect for range trading
VOLATILITY shows "HIGH" or "EXTREME" - Ensures there's enough movement for profitable scalping
Higher candlestick percentages - Indicates larger candle ranges, meaning more profit potential per trade
⚡ Optimal Usage:
Best Timeframe: Works optimally on 5-minute charts where the ranging patterns are most reliable for scalping
Trading Strategy: When you find a symbol with "YES" in the RANGE column, switch to that symbol and look for opportunities to buy near the lows and sell near the highs of the ranging pattern
Risk Management: Higher volatility symbols offer more profit potential but require tighter risk management
⚙️ Settings:
ATR Length: Adjusts the Average True Range calculation period (default: 14)
Range Sensitivity: Fine-tune range detection sensitivity (0.1-2.0, lower = more sensitive)
💡 Pro Tips:
The indicator updates in real-time, so monitor for symbols switching from "NO" to "YES" in the RANGE column
Combine HIGH/EXTREME volatility with RANGE: YES for the most profitable scalping setups
Use the candlestick percentages to gauge potential profit per trade - higher percentages mean more movement

Perfect for day traders and scalpers who want to quickly identify which symbols offer the best ranging opportunities for consistent buy-low, sell-high strategies.
Ighodalo Gold - CRT (Candles are ranges theory)This indicator is designed to automatically identify and display CRT (Candles are Ranges Theory) Candles on your chart. It draws the high and low of the identified range and extends them until price breaks out, providing clear levels of support and resistance.
The Candles are Ranges Theory (CRT) concept was originally developed and shared by a trader named Romeotpt (Raid). All credit for the trading methodology goes to him. This indicator simply makes spotting these specific candles easier.
What is a CRT Candle & How Is It Used?
A CRT candle is a single candle that has both the highest high AND the lowest low over a user-defined period. It is identified by analysing a block of recent candles and finding the one candle that contains the entire price range of that block.
Once a CRT candle is formed, its high and low act as an accumulation range.
A break above or below this range is the manipulation phase.
A reclaim of the range (price closing back inside) signifies a potential distribution phase.
On higher timeframes, this sequence can be interpreted as:
Candle 1: Accumulation
Candle 2: Manipulation
Candle 3: Distribution
Reversal (Turtle Soup):
A sweep of the high or low, followed by a quick reclaim (price closing back inside the range), can signify a reversal. According to the theory’s originator, Romeo, this reversal pattern is called “turtle soup.”
After a bearish reversal at the high, the target becomes the CRT low.
After a bullish reversal at the low, the target becomes the CRT high.
How to Use This Indicator
The indicator is flexible and can be adapted to your trading style. The most important settings are:
Max Lookback Period: Number of past candles ("n") the indicator checks within to find a CRT.
CRT Timeframe:
Select a timeframe (e.g., 1H): The indicator will look at the higher timeframe you selected and plot the most recent CRT range from that timeframe onto your current chart. This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis.
Enable Overlapping CRTs:
False (unchecked): Shows only one active CRT range at a time. The indicator won’t look for a new one until the current range is broken.
True (checked): Constantly searches for and displays all CRT ranges it finds, allowing multiple ranges to appear on the chart simultaneously.
Disclaimer & Notes
-This is a visualisation tool and not a standalone trading signal. Always use it alongside your own analysis and risk management strategy.
-All credit for the "Candles are Ranges Theory" (CRT) concept goes to its creator, Romeotpt (Raid).
"On the journey to the opposite side of the range, price often provides multiple turtle soup entry opportunities. Follow their footprints." — Raid, 2025
Opening Range Suite by SBSniperOpening Range Suite
An all-in-one opening-range tool suite. It draws the 30-second, 5-minute, and 30-minute opening ranges for the AM session (09:30 NY). Each range is highlighted with a rectangle (high/low with midpoint) and can display a full pack of projection levels.
⸻
What it draws
• AM 09:30 ORs: 30s, 5m, 30m ranges.
• Midpoint line inside each box.
• Projections from the opening range (measured both High→Low and Low→High) at:
−0.5, −1, −1.5, −2, −2.5, −3, −3.5, −4.
• Text labels inside rectangles (fixed text):
AM — “OR 30sec / OR 5min / OR 30min”; PM — “PM 30sec / PM 5min / PM 30min”.
⸻
Smart behavior
• Today always extends to the current bar (so the current session’s box grows with price/time).
• Previous 5 days of each selected range are shown and, by default, extend to 12:00 NY for AM and 16:00 NY for PM (2.5h span).
Toggle available to extend previous 5 out to the current bar instead.
• Projection day cap: You choose how many recent days (including today) draw projection lines. This prevents chart clutter and avoids TradingView object limits.
• Weekend skip: Automatically ignores Saturdays and Sundays based on New York time.
• Single label toggle: Turn all labels on/off; styling and text are fixed for clarity and consistency.
⸻
How ranges are calculated
• The script anchors to New York local time and detects:
• AM session: 09:30 → grabs the 30s/5m/30m bar(s) that open at 09:30:00 NY.
• Each range uses the bar’s high/low, draws a rectangle spanning the selected time window, and plots the midpoint.
⸻
Notes & best practices
• The 30-second OR requires a symbol/data plan that provides 30-second bars. If your feed doesn’t have 30s, keep the 30s toggles off and use 5m/30m.
• Use on intraday charts. The tool relies on bar times to align with NY session opens.
• For non-US symbols or 24/7 markets, NY anchoring still works; just be aware that “open” is tied to 09:30 New York time.

Combined Predictive Indicator### Combined Predictive Zones & Levels
This indicator is a powerful hybrid tool designed to provide a comprehensive map of potential future price action. It merges two distinct predictive models into a single, cohesive view, helping traders identify key levels of support, resistance, and areas of high confluence.
#### How It Works: Two Models in One
This script is built on two core components that you can use together or analyze separately:
**Part 1: Classic Range & Fibonacci Prediction**
This model uses classic technical analysis principles to project a potential range for the upcoming price action.
* **Highest High / Lowest Low:** It identifies the significant trading range over a user-defined lookback period.
* **Fibonacci Levels:** It automatically plots key Fibonacci retracement levels (e.g., 38.2% and 61.8%) within this range, which often act as critical support or resistance.
* **ATR & Average Range:** It calculates a "predicted" upper and lower boundary based on the average historical range and current volatility (ATR).
**Part 2: Advanced Predictive Ranges (Self-Adjusting Channels)**
This is a dynamic model that creates adaptive support and resistance zones based on a smoothed average price and volatility.
* **Dynamic Average:** It uses a unique moving average that only adjusts when the price moves significantly, creating a stable baseline.
* **ATR-Based Zones:** It projects multiple levels of support (S1, S2) and resistance (R1, R2) around this average, which widen and narrow based on market volatility. These zones often signal areas where price might stall or reverse.
#### Key Features:
* **Hybrid Model for Confluence:** The true power of this indicator lies in finding where the levels from both models overlap. A Fibonacci level aligning with a Predictive Range support zone is a much stronger signal.
* **Comprehensive Data Table:** A clean, on-chart table displays the precise values of all key predictive levels, allowing for quick reference and precise trade planning.
* **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:** The Advanced Predictive Ranges can be calculated on a higher timeframe, giving you a broader market context.
* **Fully Customizable:** All lengths, multipliers, and levels for both models are fully adjustable in the settings to fit any asset or trading style.
* **Clear Visuals:** All zones and levels are color-coded for intuitive and easy-to-read analysis.
#### How to Use:
1. Look for areas of **confluence** where multiple levels from both models cluster together. These are high-probability zones for price reactions.
2. Use the Predictive Range zones (S1/S2 and R1/R2) as potential targets for trades or as areas to watch for entries and exits.
3. Pay attention to the on-chart table for exact price levels to set limit orders or stop-losses.
**Disclaimer:** This script is an analytical tool for educational purposes and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading strategy with proper risk management.

Option Range Projector PRO (with Alerts)Indicator Name: Option Range Projector PRO (with Alerts)
Short Description
This is a powerful and flexible tool for traders that visualizes expected price movement ranges based on option pricing principles and statistical deviations. The indicator plots standard deviation levels (Sigmas) and boundaries calculated from the price of an options Straddle, providing a unique insight into market volatility expectations.
It is ideal for options traders, as well as those who trade futures or spot assets and want to gain an edge by understanding where the market anticipates price boundaries on a specific date.
Core Concepts
The indicator is based on three key ideas:
Standard Deviation (Sigma, σ): In statistics, this is a measure of value dispersion. In trading, when applied to prices, standard deviation levels show the probable range within which the price is expected to remain until a specific date (expiration).
±1σ (1 Sigma): Approximately 68.2% probability that the price will stay within this range.
±2σ (2 Sigmas): Approximately 95.4% probability. These levels often act as strong support/resistance.
±3σ (3 Sigmas): Approximately 99.7% probability. Reaching these levels is a statistically rare event.
Implied Volatility (IV): This is a key component. IV is the market's forecast of the asset's future volatility. It is derived from current option prices and reflects how significant the price movements are expected to be by traders. The higher the IV, the wider the calculated ranges will be.
Straddle-Based Levels: A straddle is an options strategy involving the simultaneous purchase of a Call and a Put option with the same strike price and expiration date. The cost of this combination (Call + Put) directly reflects the market's expected price movement in points. Our indicator uses this value to construct alternative, highly accurate boundaries of the expected range.
Key Features
Flexible Expiration Choice: Easily switch between standard contracts (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly) or set any custom number of days to expiration (DTE).
Dual Volatility Calculation Mode: Use automatic calculation based on historical data or enter a precise IV value manually (e.g., from your broker's terminal) for maximum accuracy.
Two Types of Predictive Levels: Visualize classic standard deviations (Sigmas) and/or levels calculated from the Straddle price for a comprehensive analysis.
Expiration Comparison: Enable the display of additional levels for a different expiration date to visually compare short-term and long-term market expectations.
"Greeks" Calculation: The indicator calculates and displays key option Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega), helping to deepen the understanding of an option position's characteristics.
Informative Table: All key data—ATM price, IV, DTE, level prices, Greeks, and option prices—are consolidated into one clear table for quick analysis.
Customizable Alerts: Get instant notifications directly in TradingView when the price crosses any of the important levels (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ).
Full Visual Customization: Control colors, line thickness, labels, and zone fills to adapt the indicator to your trading style.
How to Use (Settings)
Price Settings:
Auto-detect ATM Price: When enabled, the indicator will use the current closing price as the At-The-Money (ATM) price.
Manual ATM Price: If auto mode is disabled, you can set a precise ATM price manually.
Volatility Settings:
Auto-calculate IV: Calculates historical volatility over a specified period. Useful if you don't have access to real-time IV.
Manual IV Value: (Recommended for accuracy). Enter the Implied Volatility (IV) value for the desired strike from your brokerage terminal or analytical services here.
Expiration:
Contract Type: Choose one of the standard terms (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly) or "Custom" to use a manual day input.
Days to Expiration: Active only for the "Custom" type.
Show Multiple Expirations: Enables a second set of levels with a different term for comparison.
Straddle Boundaries:
Use Manual Input: Allows you to enter the precise Call and Put Settle prices from the official exchange summary (e.g., from the CME website). This provides the most accurate boundaries based on real market prices.
Trading Ideas and Application
Mean Reversion Trading: The ±2σ and ±3σ levels often act as strong overbought/oversold zones. A price reaching these extreme values has a high statistical probability of reversing or correcting back towards the central ATM price.
Trend Confirmation and Breakouts: A confident close outside the ±1σ range can indicate the beginning of a strong directional move.
Risk Management: Use the levels to set stop-losses or determine profit targets. For example, when opening a trade near the +1σ level, you might consider a target at +2σ and place a stop-loss behind the ATM level.
Volatility Analysis: By comparing the width of the ranges for different expirations, you can assess how the market is pricing short-term versus long-term risks. A narrow range suggests low expectations, while a wide range indicates high ones.
Disclaimer: This indicator is an analysis tool and does not provide direct financial advice or trading signals. All trading decisions are your own. Use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis methods.
ATR RopeATR Rope is inspired by DonovanWall's "Range Filter". It implements a similar concept of filtering out smaller market movements and adjusting only for larger moves. In addition, this indicator goes one step deeper by producing actionable zones to determine market state. (Trend vs. Consolidation)
> Background
When reading up on the Range Filter indicator, it reminded me exactly of a Rope stabilization drawing tool in a program I use frequently. Rope stabilization essentially attaches a fixed length "rope" to your cursor and an anchor point (Brush). As you move your cursor, you are pulling the brush behind it. The cursor (of course) will not pull the brush until the rope is fully extended, this behavior filters out jittery movements and is used to produce smoother drawing curves.
If compared visually side-by-side, you will notice that this indicator bears striking resemblance to its inspiration.
> Goal
Other than simply distinguishing price movements between meaningful and noise, this indicator strives to create a rigid structure to frame market movements and lack-there-of, such as when to anticipate trend, and when to suspect consolidation.
Since the indicator works based on an ATR range, the resulting ATR Channel does well to get reactions from price at its extremes. Naturally, when consolidating, price will remain within the channel, neither pushing the channel significantly up or down. Likewise, when trending, price will continue to push the channel in a single direction.
With the goal of keeping it quick and simple, this indicator does not do any smoothing of data feeds, and is simply based on the deviation of price from the central rope. Adjusting the rope when price extends past the threshold created by +/- ATR from the rope.
> Features & Behaviors
- ATR Rope
ATR Rope is displayed as a 3 color single line.
This can be considered the center line, or the directional line, whichever you'd prefer.
The main point of the Rope display is to indicate direction, however it also is factually the center of the current working range.
- ATR Rope Color
When the rope's value moves up, it changes to green (uptrend), when down, red (downtrend).
When the source crosses the rope, it turns blue (flat).
With these simple rules, we've formed a structure to view market movements.
- Consolidation Zones
Consolidation Zones generate from "Flat" areas, and extend into subsequent trend areas. Consolidation is simply areas where price has crossed the Rope and remains inside the range. Over these periods, the upper and lower values are accumulated and averaged together to form the "Consolidation Zone" values. These zones are draw live, so values are averaged as the flat areas progress and don't repaint, so all values seen historically are as they would appear live.
- ATR Channel
ATR Channel displays the upper and lower bounds of the working range.
When the source moves beyond this range, the rope is adjusted based on the distance from the source to the channel. This range can be extremely useful to view, but by default it is hidden.
> Application
This indicator is not created to provide signals, or serve as a "complete" system.
(People who didn't read this far will still comment for signals. :) )
This is created to be used alongside manual interpretation and intuition. This indicator is not meant to constrain any users into a box, and I would actually encourage an open mind and idea generation, as the application of this indicator can take various forms.
> Examples
As you would probably already know, price movement can be fast impulses, and movement can be slow bleeds. In the screenshot below, we are using movements from and to consolidation zones to classify weak trend and strong trend. As you can see, there are also areas of consolidation which get broken out of and confirmed for the larger moves.
Author's Note: In each of these examples, I have outlined the start and end of each session. These examples come from 1 Min Future charts, and have specifically been framed with day trading in mind.
"Breakout Retest" or "Support/Resistance Flips" or "Structure Retests" are all generally the same thing, with different traders referring to them by different names, all of which can be seen throughout these examples.
In the next example, we have a day which started with an early reversal leading into long, slow, trend. Notice how each area throughout the trend essentially moves slightly higher, then consolidates while holding support of the previous zone. This day had a few sharp movements, however there was a large amount of neutrality throughout this day with continuous higher lows.
In contrast to the previous example, next up, we have a very choppy day. Throughout which we see a significant amount of retests before fast directional movements. We also see a few examples of places where previous zones remained relevant into the future. While the zones only display into the resulting trend area, they do not become immediately meaningless once they stop drawing.
> Abstract
In the screenshot below, I have stacked 2 of these indicators, using the high as the source for one and the low as the source for the other. I've hidden lines of the high and low channels to create a 4 lined channel based on the wicks of price.
This is not necessary to use the indicator, but should help provide an idea of creative ways the simple indicator could be used to produce more complicated analysis.
If you've made it this far, I would hope it's clear to you how this indicator could provide value to your trading.
Thank you to DonovonWall for the inspiration.
Enjoy!
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.
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.
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

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
IDWM Master StructureExecutive Summary
The IDWM Master Structure is a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) trading tool designed to force discipline by aligning traders with the "Parent" trend. It functions by locking onto the "Completed Auction" of a higher timeframe candle (like a Daily or Weekly bar) and projecting that structure onto your lower timeframe chart. Its primary goal is to define the "Dealing Range"—the hard boundaries where value was previously established—so you don't get lost in the noise of smaller price movements.
1. The Principle of Completed Auctions (Hierarchy)
Most technical indicators curve dynamically with every price tick. This script acts differently because it relies on "Settled Arguments." A closed Daily candle represents a finished battle between buyers and sellers; the High and Low are the historical results of that battle.
To enforce this, the script automatically selects a "Parent" timeframe based on your view:
Scalping (charts below 15 minutes) uses the 4-Hour Auction.
Intraday trading (15 minutes to 4 Hours) uses the Daily Auction.
Swing trading (Daily chart) uses the Weekly Auction.
2. Liquidity Pools & The Sticky Range
The High and Low lines drawn by the indicator are not just support and resistance; they represent Liquidity Pools. In market theory, stop-losses (Sell Stops below Lows, Buy Stops above Highs) accumulate at these edges.
Smart money often pushes price just past these lines to grab this liquidity (a "Stop Hunt") before reversing direction. To account for this, the script uses a "Sticky Range" mechanism. It refuses to redraw the box simply because price touched the line. Instead, it uses an Average True Range (ATR) Buffer. A new structure is only formed if the candle closes decisively outside the range plus this volatility buffer. This ensures you are trading real breakouts, not liquidity sweeps.
3. Internal Range Mechanics (Premium vs. Discount)
Inside the Master Box, the script applies Equilibrium Theory to help with trade location.
The most important internal line is the Equilibrium (EQ), which marks the exact 50% point of the range.
Premium Zone (Above EQ): Price is mathematically "expensive" relative to the recent range. Algorithms generally look to establish Short positions here.
Discount Zone (Below EQ): Price is considered "cheap." Algorithms generally look to establish Long positions here.
It also plots the Master Open, which acts as a "Line in the Sand." If price is currently trading above the Master Open, the higher timeframe candle is Green (Bullish), suggesting longs have a higher probability. If below, the candle is Red (Bearish).
4. Wick Theory (Failed Auctions)
The script places special emphasis on the wicks of the Master Candle because a wick represents a "Failed Auction"—a price level the market tried to explore but ultimately rejected.
The indicator highlights the background of the wick area (from the High to the Body). On a retest, these zones often act as supply or demand blocks because the market remembers the previous failure.
It also calculates the "Consequent Encroachment," which is the 50% midpoint of the wick. The rule of thumb here is that if a candle body can close past 50% of a wick, the rejection is nullified, and price will likely travel to fill the entire wick.
5. Energy Expansion (Breakout Targets)
Market energy transfers from Consolidation (inside the box) to Expansion (the breakout). When the price finally breaks the "Sticky Range" (confirming via the ATR buffer), the script projects where that energy will go.
It uses the height of the previous range to calculate Fibonacci extensions. Specifically, it targets the 1.618 Extension, often called the "Golden Ratio." This is a statistically significant level where expansion moves tend to exhaust themselves and reverse.
6. Safety Protocol: Live Detection
A dashboard monitors the state of the parent candle. If the text turns Magenta with a warning symbol, it means the Higher Timeframe candle is "Live" (still forming).
Trading off a live structure is considered higher risk because the "Auction" isn't finished—the High or Low can still shift. The safest approach is to trade when the dashboard indicates a standard, locked, historical structure.

Highest High & Lowest Low Extreme Range @MaxMaserati Highest High & Lowest Low @MaxMaserati
════════════════════════════════════════════
Every day, retail traders stare at charts wondering where the real support and resistance levels are, while institutions effortlessly identify the exact range boundaries that control price action. The mystery of institutional range identification has finally been solved with a revolutionary approach that transforms chaotic price movements into crystal-clear trading opportunities.
⚡ CORE INNOVATION
Range Boundary Detection System
This groundbreaking indicator automatically identifies the highest high and lowest low over your specified lookback period, creating an institutional-grade range box that reveals exactly where smart money expects price to respect key levels. No more guessing where the real boundaries are.
Smart Market Intelligence
The system automatically detects your market type and displays range measurements in the proper units - pips for forex, points for futures and indices, dollars for stocks. This precision eliminates confusion and provides instant context for your trading decisions.
Institutional Midline Precision
The 50% retracement level is automatically calculated and displayed as a dotted midline within the range box, revealing the exact equilibrium point where institutional algorithms expect price to find balance. This is where the smart money often makes their move.
Visual Clarity System
Clean pink range boxes with black labels eliminate chart clutter while highlighting only the most critical levels. The minimalist design ensures you focus on what matters most - the institutional range boundaries that drive price action.
Tips
**Look when the market break a swing, wait for pullback at the 50 level or at the order block where the movement started for entry.
**When the market is trending, it tends to stick to the line creating constant lower low or high highs
⚡ PRECISION TRADING SYSTEM
Phase 1: Range Identification
The indicator scans your chosen lookback period and identifies the absolute highest and lowest points, creating an institutional range box that represents the current market structure. This becomes your primary reference framework for all trading decisions.
Phase 2: Midline Analysis
Monitor price action around the 50% midline level. Institutions often use this equilibrium point for entries, exits, and position sizing decisions. When price approaches this level, heightened attention is required.
Phase 3: Boundary Respect Confirmation
Watch how price reacts at the range boundaries. Strong rejections indicate institutional support or resistance, while clean breaks suggest range expansion and potential trend continuation opportunities.
Phase 4: Range-Based Position Management
Use the range measurements to calculate proper position sizes and risk-reward ratios. The automatic unit conversion ensures precise risk management regardless of your trading instrument.
⚡ UNIVERSAL INTEGRATION
This indicator enhances every trading methodology without replacing your existing strategy. ICT traders use it to identify premium and discount ranges. SMC analysts leverage it for market structure confirmation. Supply and demand traders utilize it for zone validation. Fibonacci enthusiasts find the 50% midline invaluable for retracement analysis.
The beauty lies in its simplicity - it works flawlessly across all timeframes, from scalping on the 1-minute chart to position trading on the weekly. Every market respects these institutional range boundaries because they represent genuine supply and demand imbalances.
⚡ INSTITUTIONAL RANGE MASTERY
Market statistics reveal that 78% of significant price moves originate from range boundary interactions. While retail traders chase breakouts without context, institutions patiently wait for price to reach these predetermined levels before deploying their capital.
Training Your Market Vision
This indicator rewires your brain to see markets the way institutions do - as ranges with clear boundaries and equilibrium points rather than chaotic price movements. After consistent use, you'll naturally identify these levels even without the indicator, giving you a permanent edge in market analysis.
The institutional advantage becomes clear when you realize that these range boundaries often align with key psychological levels, previous day highs and lows, and algorithmic trading zones. This convergence creates powerful reversal and continuation signals that smart money exploits repeatedly.
Do not use it as a standalone indicator, backtest it and learn about swings before using it.

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.

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.
