ICT Opening Range GapOpening Range Gap
The Opening Range Gap, also known as the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) Gap, is the distance between the first opening tick of a session and the previous session's close, when looking at a chart's Regular Trading Hours (not to be confused with Electronic Trading Hours). This gap is an important element for Futures Market traders that follow the works of The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). To be more specific, the Opening Range Gap occurs between 4:15pm and 9:30am of the next day.
The Opening Range Gap can be viewed easily when switching the session type to "Regular trading hours".
The image above shows an example of an RTH Gap for Wednesday, June 12, 2024 in CME_MINI:ES1!
How To Use Opening Range Gap
The Opening Range Gap can be used like any other form of a gap by extending it into future price action and looking for it to be filled on the same day or the upcoming days.
Looking for 50% of the gap to be filled as an initial target is one of the methodologies taught by ICT. Additionally, the high and low of the gap (as well as the midpoint) can be used as points of dynamic support & resistance, even if the gap is already filled. Therefore, these gaps do not "expire", and they can be used as key price levels extended through to the end of the week.
Disclaimer
This indicator is mainly intended to work for Futures markets, and specifically the following Index Futures markets: E-mini S&P 500 Futures, E-mini NASDAQ-100 Futures, E-mini DOW Futures.
Given that, the indicator still supports various other markets/assets out-of-the-box, such as other types of Futures Markets, Stocks, Options, and more. The main difference will be that other markets may have RTH Gaps forming at different times, rather than the 4:15pm-9:30am gap that occurs in the Index Futures (Regular trading hours).
Indicator Purpose
While RTH Gaps can be labeled by hand, this indicator allows you to quickly plot multiple RTH Gaps and get a quick glimpse at potential gaps that you may have missed, which could end up being useful in your analysis.
This indicator is 100% custom-built, not using code from any other existing indicators that may plot Opening Range Gaps. The main purpose of this indicator was to overcome many shortcomings from other existing indicators, most notably the problem of displaying RTH Gaps while using ETH as the chart session.
Therefore, this indicator has many UNIQUE features, such as:
Ability to maintain accuracy of the closing/opening prices even when changing chart settings (e.g., toggling ETH/RTH sessions, toggling BACK-ADJUSTMENT on futures contracts, toggling SETTLEMENT prices, etc.).
Draw up to 25 previous Opening Range Gaps, even on ultra-low timeframes like the 1-minute or 1-second chart.
Automatically or manually choose which Opening Range Gaps to hide/show on the chart.
Highly customizable, including a different color scheme to easily distinguish between the Current and Previous RTH Gaps.
Modified price values to correctly display prices that use a format like 109'32 (e.g., Bond Futures or Wheat Futures).
Helpful tooltips to provide more detailed information about the RTH Gaps or about the current Input Settings.
Error Messages
There are some conditions which can cause the script to fail and display an error message (by clicking the red exclamation mark next to the indicator.)
Error messages:
Use a Standard Chart Type : this will occur when using a non-standard chart such as Heikin Ashi, Renko, Point & Figure, etc.
Use a Daily or Lower Timeframe : this error will appear when using a higher timeframe chart like weekly or monthly, because it can clutter the chart since RTH Gaps can form every day.
RTH Gap was not detected : this means that no RTH gap was found, which will occur on markets that don't have the option to toggle between ETH and RTH sessions (e.g., Forex or Crypto).
Exceeded the maximum lookback for Bar Replay mode : when using bar replay mode; this can depend on the amount of historical bars available in different account subscription types.
Unable to Activate Bar Replay mode : if the indicator could not be used in Bar Replay mode.
Restart Bar Replay : if the indicator works in Bar Replay but it detected an error that would cause RTH Gaps to be plotted incorrectly.
This is an example of what a script error would look like.
Indicator Settings
Most settings are self-explanatory or have a tooltip with information on what the setting does, but this section will only briefly cover the available settings.
Extend to End of Day : This setting is enabled by default. It will extend each RTH Gap only up to the end of its day (specifically, to the RTH close of the day). The option can be toggled OFF to automatically extend all RTH Gaps to the right-most candle on the chart.
Previous RTH Gaps : Between 1 and 25 previous RTH Gaps can be displayed. The checkbox can be toggled to quickly hide all previous RTH Gaps (but the same effect would be reached by setting the value to 0).
Hide Current RTH Gap : The Current RTH Gap (most recent one), can be optionally hidden from being plotted.
Beginning Anchor Point : Choose the beginning anchor point for all RTH Gaps. The default is "RTH Close", which means that each gap will be drawn on the chart starting from their previous session's RTH close @ 4:15pm. But it will be a more transparent version of the actual gap; this ghost-like image will extend from 4:15pm all the way up to 9:30am where the gap will then be drawn normally from 9:30am onwards. The other option for this setting is "RTH Open" which means that the gap will be drawn starting from the actual 9:30am opening.
Current RTH Gap Style
These settings are used to customize the visual style of the most recent RTH Gap (also known as the "Current" RTH Gap). Note: the exact same set of settings are available for the Previous RTH Gaps. The text label next to each gap can be optionally hidden to clean the chart a little.
Price Table
These are settings to customize the appearance of the Price Table on the right, including the ability to hide it completely. Note: to actually use the color configurations, you must select "Custom Style" in one of the dropdowns, otherwise it will use "Default Style" which means that the Price Table is automatically styled based on the colors chosen in the Current RTH Gap Style and Previous RTH Gap Style settings.
Overlap Handling
One of 7 available overlap handling options can be used to filter which RTH Gaps are plotted on the chart. By default, the "None" option will be selected, meaning that all valid RTH Gaps are plotted on the chart.
Formatting
Date Format : select the format of the date that is shown next to each RTH Gaps.
Timezone : choose the timezone for the RTH Gap closing/opening date-times that are displayed (only in tooltips when you hover over an RTH Gap label).
RTH Gap Label : choose the details to display next to each gap (e.g., date, or gap number, or both).
Price Format : only two options: Auto/Decimal. "Auto" uses custom processing to allow displaying values such as 109'32 for Bond futures.
Tooltips
The indicator provides additional details about an RTH Gap when you hover over a row in the Price Table.
Note: the same information can be found by hovering over the Text Label that is to the right of each RTH Gap (even when the Text Label is disabled via the Settings).
Overlap Handling
The tooltip next to "Select a Strategy" in the options will provide details on each overlap handling strategy. Additionally, when a strategy is selected, a new row in the Price Table will appear; hovering over that will show details about the currently selected strategy, as well as any suggestions in case the inputs were invalid. When a strategy hides an RTH Gap, the number in the Price Table will be replaced with an "Eye" icon, indicating that it is not currently plotted on the chart.
Available strategies are:
Option 1 (Gradients) : select the percentage opacity to shade RTH Gaps in. The more recent RTH Gaps will be closer to the maximum opacity defined, while the older RTH Gaps will appear more transparent, closer to the minimum opacity defined. Note: only affects previous RTH Gaps, not the current RTH Gap.
Option 2 (Day Extension) : select the number of days to extend each RTH Gap up to. Note: this will override the "Extend to End of Day" setting, regardless whether it is toggled ON or OFF.
Option 3 (Nested Gaps) : hides nested gaps, i.e., RTH Gaps that are enclosed within another RTH Gap. Note: this option is only available when the "Extend to End of Day" setting is disabled .
Option 4 (Intersecting Gaps) : hides intersecting/overlapping gaps, i.e., RTH Gaps that overlap one another (this may also include, but is not limited to, nested gaps). The drop-down next to this option allows choosing the priority of which RTH Gaps to hide first. Note: this option is only available when the "Extend to End of Day" setting is disabled .
Option 5 (Gap Width) : the chart will only show RTH Gaps that have a width/size between the defined parameters.
Option 6 (Close Proximity) : the chart will only show the RTH Gaps that are within a certain range from the market price. This can be useful when plotting multiple RTH Gaps while using auto-scaling on the chart. By only showing nearby RTH Gaps, it will prevent the auto-scaling from having to compress the candles to fit the far-away RTH Gaps onto the screen.
Option 7 (CSV) : this option is used if none of the others suit you well; it allows specifically choosing which RTH Gaps to hide or show on the chart.
This is an example that chooses the Overlap Handling Strategy Option 6. Note that in this example, the tooltip in the price table shows a warning that the Input Number should be increased to plot some RTH Gaps on the chart.
Tips
Chart settings can be toggled to "Scale price chart only" to prevent the auto-scaling of TradingView from compressing the chart if there are RTH Gaps that are far away from the current market action.
If you change a lot of indicator settings such as RTH Gap color schemes, you can save the settings as the Default to prevent your settings from resetting the next time you use the indicator.

Average Session Range [QuantVue]The Average Session Range or ASR is a tool designed to find the average range of a user defined session over a user defined lookback period.
Not only is this indicator is useful for understanding volatility and price movement tendencies within sessions, but it also plots dynamic support and resistance levels based on the ASR.
The average session range is calculated over a specific period (default 14 sessions) by averaging the range (high - low) for each session.
Knowing what the ASR is allows the user to determine if current price action is normal or abnormal.
When a new session begins, potential support and resistance levels are calculated by breaking the ASR into quartiles which are then added and subtracted from the sessions opening price.
The indicator also shows an ASR label so traders can know what the ASR is in terms of dollars.
Session Time Configuration:
The indicator allows users to define the session time, with default timing set from 13:00 to 22:00.
ASR Calculation:
The ASR is calculated over a specified period (default 14 sessions) by averaging the range (high - low) of each session.
Various levels based on the ASR are computed: 0.25 ASR, 0.5 ASR, 0.75 ASR, 1 ASR, 1.25 ASR, 1.5 ASR, 1.75 ASR, and 2 ASR.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots lines on the chart representing different ASR levels.
Customize the visibility, color, width, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) of these lines for better visualization.
Labels for these lines can also be displayed, with customizable positions and text properties.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.

Fibonacci Average Range [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Average Range indicator provides unique insight into key price-action levels within the market that can serve as powerful support and resistance levels. The Fibonacci Average Range is automatically generated purely from price-action; simplifying the decision-making process because price-action focuses on the most critical factor, price.
Through the use of its Fibonacci retracement levels, traders will be able to more accurately predict future direction and price movement of any given commodity.
The Fibonacci Average Range indicator is a powerful trading tool that provides unique insight into the market that can provide value to a wide variety of trading styles.
The aim of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by automatically identifying and displaying price levels that they should be aware of.
█ USAGE
At the beginning of each trading day, the script will use relevant price-action information to calculate an expected range for the current trading day, giving traders unique insight into potential levels of support and resistance within the market.
Depending on current market conditions, the script will either generate from the current day’s high or the current day’s low, depending on whether the market shows bullish or bearish strength.
Within the total projected range, several other levels will be identified and labelled. These levels combine the script’s prediction for the day’s range and key Fibonacci Ratios to identify potentially powerful levels of support and resistance within.
Each line also has a label to identify what it represents, and these labels can be turned off in the settings.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Show Labels: Determines whether labels get drawn.
• Current Day Open: Determines whether a line representing the current day’s open is drawn.
• Display Mode: Determines the number of days the script will load.
Line Settings
• Line Width: Determines the width of lines.
• Line Style: Determines the style of lines.
ATR Price Range Prediction V.2### ATR Price Range Prediction V.2
This script calculates the expected high and low prices for the current day based on the Average True Range (ATR) and displays the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR. Additionally, the script provides an option to adjust the size of the text displayed in the top-right corner of the chart.
#### How It Works
1. **ATR Calculation**: The script calculates the ATR for a specified period (`atrPeriod`). ATR is a measure of volatility that represents the average range between the high and low prices over a specified number of periods.
2. **Expected High and Low Calculation**:
- **Expected High**: Calculated by adding the ATR value to the low price of the current day.
- **Expected Low**: Calculated by subtracting the ATR value from the high price of the current day.
3. **Proportion Calculation**: The script calculates the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This proportion is updated in real-time as new data comes in.
4. **Table Display**: Instead of displaying labels on each candle, the script shows the expected high, expected low, and the calculated proportion in a table located at the top-right corner of the chart. The size of the text in this table can be adjusted using the `Table Size` input.
5. **Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars to yellow if the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value, making it easy to identify these bars visually.
#### How to Use
- **ATR Period (`atrPeriod`)**: Adjust the period for the ATR calculation using the input parameter. The default value is 14.
- **Table Size (`tableSizeOption`)**: Choose the size of the text displayed in the table. Options include `tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, and `huge`.
- **Expected High and Low**: Use the green and red lines to identify potential target prices or stop-loss levels for your trades. The green line represents the expected high, and the red line represents the expected low.
- **Proportion**: The table in the top-right corner of the chart shows the proportion of days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This can provide insight into the volatility of the asset.
- **Color Coding**: Yellow bars indicate days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value.

Grid Range Volatility BasedThis TradingView Pine script implements a grid range volatility based indicator that displays dynamic horizontal lines on the chart. The lines are calculated based on the average true range (ATR) of the security being plotted, and the range can be adjusted using an input parameter. The distance between the top and bottom lines is displayed as a percentage in a dynamic label that updates with each new bar.
The script allows the user to choose whether to use red or black lines, and also provides options to set the number of days for range calculations, and the calculation type (either ATR(1) or ATR(x)). The script is designed to work with stocks, forex, and other securities that have price data.
To use this script, simply attach it to a chart and adjust the input parameters to suit your analysis needs. The dynamic lines and percentage label will be displayed on the chart, providing a visual representation of the range volatility of the security being plotted. The values of the highest and lowest lines can also be displayed as labels on the price axis, providing additional context for the range volatility.
Volume True Range (VTR) and Volume Average True Range (VATR)This indicator uses lower-timeframe cumulative volume delta (CVD) candles to calculate the Volume True Range (VTR) of your instrument. The VTR is calculated similarly to the traditional true range, but uses volume instead (no price is involved in the calculation other than in the lower timeframe bar delta assignments). I haven't seen this concept developed before on TradingView or frankly the Internet, but I thought it seemed fairly intuitive; we can calculate the lower timeframe volume delta candles, so it makes sense to calculate a volume true range, which could show divergences in volume and price.
The VTR is calculated by the following code which uses the lower-timeframe CVD candles:
volumeTR = math.max(cvd_high - cvd_low, math.abs(cvd_high - nz(cvd_close )), math.abs(cvd_low - nz(cvd_close )))
The Volume Average True Range (VATR) is calculated by taking the RMA of the VTR, similarly to the ATR.
I would like to thank TradingView for the calculation of up/down intrabar volumes, which I referenced from their 'CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles' indicator.
How to Use
The VTR and VATR can be used to identify price-volume trends and volatility divergences. A strong VTR (above the VATR of your specified length) can indicate the start or continuation of a trend, which you can identify via the VTR color (determined via price candle colors). Similarly, a rising VATR with most VTR bars of a specific color (green or red) will show that volume is moving in a specific price direction.
Additionally, the VATR plotted next to the ATR of the same length will show you volume volatility divergences. A strong VATR next to a muted/flat ATR indicates strong volume movement, which price might follow in the upcoming bars. Or, for trend reversals, a decreasing ATR after a strong trend combined with a rising VATR of the opposite trend may show a possible reversal.
Hope you all enjoy this.

* Quick note: lower timeframe analysis returns only so much data. If you are on a high timeframe and the indicator is showing only a limited amount of bars, raise the lower timeframe (but still keep it below your current timeframe) so that the arrays can return more bars for you.
Opening Range 5 Min LinesOpening Range Lines Indicator
The Opening Range Lines indicator, abbreviated as "OR Lines," is a tool designed to visualize the price range established during the initial moments of a trading session. It helps traders identify significant levels of support and resistance based on the price action during the opening minutes of the session.
Features:
Customizable Timeframe: Traders can specify the duration of the opening range, typically within the first few minutes of the trading session, using the input parameter.
High and Low Lines: The indicator plots two lines on the chart representing the highest and lowest prices reached during the defined opening range period.
Color-Coded Visualization: The opening range high and low lines are color-coded for easy identification. The high line is typically displayed in green, while the low line is displayed in red.
Usage:
Support and Resistance: Traders often use the opening range lines as dynamic support and resistance levels. Prices that breach the opening range high or low may indicate potential breakout or breakdown opportunities.
Intraday Trading: Day traders can utilize the opening range lines to establish intraday trading strategies. For example, buying when the price exceeds the opening range high and selling when it falls below the opening range low.
Confirmation Tool: The opening range lines can also serve as confirmation tools for other technical indicators or trading signals. A bullish signal accompanied by a breakout above the opening range high may reinforce a buy signal, while a bearish signal combined with a breakdown below the opening range low may strengthen a sell signal.
Notes:
Extended Hours Trading: To accurately display the opening range lines for stocks or ETFs, users should enable extended hours trading on their chart settings.
Customization: Traders can adjust the timeframe and appearance settings of the indicator to suit their specific trading preferences and market conditions.
The Opening Range Lines indicator provides traders with valuable insights into the early price dynamics of a trading session, aiding in decision-making and trade management during intraday trading activities.

Otekura Range Trade Algorithm [Chain Hood]The Range Trade Algorithm calculates the levels for Monday.
On the chart you will see that the Monday levels will be marked as 1 0 -1.
The M High level calculates Monday's high close and plots it on the screen.
M Low calculates the low close of Monday and plots it on the screen.
The coloured lines on the screen are the points of the range levels formulated with fibonacci values.
The indicator has its own Value table. The prices of the levels are written.
Potential Range breakout targets tell prices at points matching the fibonacci values. These are Take profit or reversal points.
Buy and Sell indicators are determined by the range breakout.
Users can set an alarm on the indicator and receive direct notification with their targets when a new range occurs.
Fib values are multiplied by range values and create an average target according to the price situation. These values represent an area. Breakdown targets show that the target is targeted until the area.
Candle Range ExtensionThis script defines an indicator called "Candle Range Extension" that calculates the range of each candle (high minus low) and then multiplies that range by 3 to get the extension distance. It then plots two lines on the chart: one line that extends 3 times the candle range above the candle's high (in green) and another line that extends 3 times the candle range below the candle's low (in red).
Timely Opening Range Breakout Strategy [TORB] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Timely Opening Range Breakout (TORB) indicator builds upon the classic Open Range Breakout (ORB) concept. The ORB strategy is a popular trading setup used to identify trades around the opening range of an asset. It's based on the idea that the first few minutes (15-60 minutes) of trading often set the tone for the rest of the day, with breakouts above or below the opening range signifying potential trends.
TORB refines the concept by stating that a trade is only valid if there is sufficient market activity. This means a breakout beyond the upper or lower range is only of interest during the most active trading hours, as defined by PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume)
█ How It Works
ORB
The indicator works by first defining a session's opening range based on user-specified settings, including the session's start and end times and the applicable time zone. During this session, it calculates the high and low price points, which form the basis for identifying potential breakout levels.
PMMV
PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume) provides a snapshot of the market's activity level at each minute of the trading day. PMMV is calculated by averaging the trading volume in a one-minute interval over a specified number of trading days. This script uses the average volume over the last N periods to determine the PMMV value. This average volume provides a smoother representation of volume activity compared to using a single volume value. It considers the volume over a broader timeframe, filtering out short-term fluctuations and potentially offering a more reliable indicator of underlying market activity.
TORB
TORB works by integrating the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) highs and lows with the Per-Minute Mean Volume (PMMV) metric to assess the validity of breakouts. The objective is to identify breakouts from the opening high and low levels during periods of heightened market activity, as indicated by PMMV.
█ How to Use
To effectively utilize the Timely Opening Range Breakout (TORB) strategy, follow these steps:
Identify Active Hours: Employ PMMV to pinpoint periods of peak activity within the trading day.
Apply Basic ORB Rules: If the price surpasses the upper range (resistance), buy; if it breaches the lower range (support), sell.
Breakouts
The TORB strategy identifies breakout signals when the price moves beyond the established range, supported by volume exceeding a set threshold. This technique aims to eliminate false signals, focusing on price movements during high market activity.
█ Settings
Session
Trading Session: Customize the trading session's start and end times.
Volume
Volume analysis is integral to the TORB strategy, as it uses volume data to confirm the strength and validity of breakout signals.
Period: Sets the number of periods (or bars) to calculate the average volume, which is then used to assess market activity level.
Sensitivity and Significance: Adjusts how responsive the volume analysis is to changes in trading volume. By adjusting the sensitivity, traders can decide how much emphasis to place on volume spikes, potentially reducing false breakouts and focusing on those supported by significant trading activity.
Breakout Threshold
This setting establishes a criterion to identify when the price movement is significant enough.
Threshold: Traders set a threshold level to identify high market activity. If the PMMV is greater than or equal to this threshold, it indicates significant market activity.
Setting the correct threshold is key to balancing sensitivity and specificity. Too low of a threshold may lead to many false positives, while too high of a threshold might filter out potentially profitable breakouts. This setting helps in pinpointing when market activity indicates a strong move, thereby aligning trade entries with moments of heightened market momentum.

Spike RangeGuided by new ICT tutoring, I create this versatile Spike Range
This indicator shows a different way on how to display "Spikes or Shadows" based on their size,
the indicator divides the "Spike or Shadows" into levels 0.5 - 0.75 - 0.25 Fibonacci, giving the possibility of viewing the "Spike or Shadows" with a certain size and being able to use them as continuation or reversal zones
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose the size of the "Spike or Shadows"
- Choose to view "Spike or Shadows" levels
- Choose to show only bullish or only bearish "Spike or Shadows" levels
The indicator should be used as ICT shows in its concepts.
The indicator takes into account the "Spades or Shadows" that have a certain size (based on the minimum range set)
These Spikes can be rated as "FVG" so you can expect reactions on the levels it marks, considering a reversal or continuation based on the range being respected
If the Spike is Bullish and the Price closes by invalidating 50% of the range we can evaluate a possible entry up to the High of the Spike
Below is an example of how to use them:

Bit Rocket - Grid Bot Transactions 1.0DESCRIPTION
A grid bot is an automated trading bot that is designed to execute buy and sell orders based on a pre-defined grid of prices. Grid bots operate within a specified price range, placing trades at set intervals above and below the current market price. The key idea behind a grid bot is to take advantage of price fluctuations and market volatility.
The Grid Bot Transactions Indicator serves as a valuable tool for identifying the most suitable trading pairs and optimizing the grid bot percentage, also known as the grid level configuration. This indicator assists in the selection of pairs that are likely to yield the best results and aids in determining the ideal configuration for grid bot trading.
USAGE
NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS - will calculate the number of times the price moves up and down by the grid level percentage for a particular trading pair. Each move up and down is counted as a transaction, total transactions are then calculated from the date range set by the user.
RANGE - number represents the swing from the highest price to the lowest price during the date range set by the user, this will assist in determining what grid range could be used when configuring the grid bot.
GRID STEP (%) - This is the distance for each buy and sell set by the user, for example if the grid step % is set at 2% then for each 2% move up or down that occurs will count as one transaction. Try different grid step percentages to see what percentage produces the best results, too high and transactions will lower but profit per sell transaction will be greater, too small results in higher trading fees and lower profit per sell transaction. Using 1.5% - 5% for the grid step will make the most sense.
Armed with this knowledge the user can now compare against other pairs, determine the optimum grid level percentage, which pairs have more transactions, and determine transaction trend.

Trading Range FinderThere are 5 horizontal lines printed by this indicator, and they extend from the last bar to a user-defined look-back period (the number of bars back from the last bar). The dark blue lines are the swing high and swing low within the look-back period. The magenta lines are the range high and range low used to define a trading range for the look-back period. The light blue line in the middle is the halfway point within the trading range, or the equilibrium.
The majority of the script logic focuses on the placement of the magenta lines (range high and range low). To do this, a histogram analysis is used. The price difference between the swing high and swing low is broken up into discrete bins which are monitored by an array. The high and low of each bar within the look-back period is used to populate the bins. There is also a toggle to use the midpoint of each bar to populate the bins as well. This means that for every bar two bins (three with the toggle) within the array will increase by a value of 1. The two bins with the highest count are used to print the magenta lines. Around each magenta line are two dotted lines and a shaded area to show the size of the bins used in the analysis.
Regarding bin size:
The bin size is a fraction of the asset price. If the price difference between the swing high and swing low is $1000, and the bin size is 1, then there are 1000 bins. I initially made the bin size a user input, but for a given look-back period the trading range would have wildly different range highs/lows when the bin size was incremented by small amounts. It was also difficult to manage a user input when the asset price is near, or less than 1. I then used a loop to optimize the bin size so it is no longer a user input. The optimization parameter is the maximization of the distance between the range high and range low. I capped the bin size within the script somewhat arbitrarily (but with a lot of testing) at ((swing high - swing low)/50) because sometimes very large bin sizes (one third or one quarter of the difference between swing high and swing low) would maximize the distance between the range high and range low, but with the line placed in the middle of the bin, its level wouldn't always make sense. Besides the maximum bin size, the only other hardcoded part of the script was to test 50 bin sizes, up to and including the maximum bin size. The loop finds the bin size that gives the largest separation between prices, and then uses that bin size to set the up the array with the bin counts.
Toggles for the plots are available to show how the range high, range low, and equilibrium move as new bars are added to the chart. The effects of these plots can most readily be seen in replay mode. There is also to a toggle to show the Fibonacci levels between the range high and range low. I made the midpoint a toggle because sometimes it is detrimental, meaning it contracts the trading range to the point of not being useful on a given chart. If there are periods of very low volatility and the bin size is large enough, the midpoint might end up in the same bin as the high or the low (or both!), and a single bar could unevenly weight a particular bin. The midpoint toggle, along with different lookback periods, will be needed to find a suitable trading range for a given chart.
User Defined Range Selector and Color Changing EMA LineThe "User Defined Range Selector and Color Changing EMA Line," stands out in the crowded field of trading indicators due to its unique blend of visual clarity and customizable functionality. Unlike traditional indicators, this tool not only tracks the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) but enhances it with a user-defined mirrored line to visually denote a range based on a percentage distance from the EMA.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Color-Changing EMA: The EMA line changes color based on its slope, providing instant visual cues about the market trend. Blue signifies an upward trend, red indicates a downward trend, and gray represents a sideways market.
- Customizable Range Selector: A mirrored EMA line is plotted, which can be set at a user-defined percentage away from the primary EMA. This feature allows traders to visualize a potential price range or channel, adding an extra layer of analysis for potential support and resistance zones.
- User-Driven Inputs: With inputs like EMA length, slope length, source, and the percentage distance for the mirrored line, the indicator offers a high level of customization, catering to various trading styles and strategies.
- Enhanced Trading Strategy Development: This combination of trend visualization and range identification aids in refining entry and exit points, making it an invaluable tool for developing more nuanced trading strategies.
Why It's Unique:
- Dual Functionality: The combination of trend indication (via color changes) and range visualization (through the mirrored line) sets this indicator apart from traditional EMA-based tools.
- Customization and Flexibility: The ability to tailor key parameters like EMA length and the percentage away for the mirrored line empowers traders to adapt the tool to fit their specific trading approach and market conditions.
- Visual Simplicity: Despite its multifaceted capabilities, the indicator maintains a clean and intuitive visual presentation, ensuring ease of use and interpretation.

[blackcat] L2 Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) with 3 SMAThe Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) is a technical indicator used in trading to measure the strength of a trend. It compares two simple moving averages (SMAs) to determine the market's momentum.
To calculate RAVI, we subtract the shorter SMA from the longer SMA, and then divide the result by the longer SMA. This value is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
The RAVI indicator helps traders identify whether the market is in a trending or range-bound phase. When the RAVI value is positive, it indicates a bullish trend, suggesting that the market is in an uptrend. Conversely, a negative RAVI value indicates a bearish trend or a downtrend.
Traders can use the RAVI indicator in several ways. Here are a few common strategies:
1. **Trend confirmation**: Traders can use RAVI to confirm the strength of a trend identified by other indicators or price patterns. If the RAVI value aligns with the direction of the trend, it provides additional confirmation.
2. **Overbought and oversold conditions**: Traders can use extreme RAVI values to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market. When the RAVI value reaches high positive or negative levels, it suggests that the market may be due for a reversal or a retracement.
3. **Divergence**: Traders can look for divergences between the RAVI indicator and the price action. For example, if the price makes a higher high, but the RAVI value makes a lower high, it could indicate a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
As with any technical indicator, it is essential to use RAVI in conjunction with other tools and analysis techniques to make informed trading decisions. Traders should also consider factors such as market conditions, risk management, and other supporting indicators to validate their trading strategies.
In this indicator, an additional simple moving average (SMA) is introduced to consider long-term bias. This modification allows the Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) to be used as a volatility filter. By comparing the shorter SMA with this longer SMA, traders can gain insights into the market's volatility and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. This longer SMA helps provide a broader perspective on the market's trend and can be particularly useful for identifying and filtering out periods of high volatility. It is called "L2 Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) with 3 SMA". It calculates the RAVI value based on three simple moving averages (SMA). The code also includes calculations for the upper and lower bands, as well as color gradient settings. Finally, it plots the RAVI values and a midline.
It calculates the Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) using three Simple Moving Averages (SMA). The RAVI measures the difference between two SMAs divided by a third SMA, and then multiplied by 100.
The code starts with defining input parameters such as length, multiplier, and lengths for the three SMAs. Then it assigns the closing price to a variable called "price".
Next, it calculates the three SMAs using the "ta.sma" function from TradingView's built-in technical analysis library. The first SMA uses "sma1Length", the second SMA uses "sma2Length", and the third SMA uses "sma3Length".
After that, it calculates the RAVI by subtracting sma2 from sma1, dividing it by sma3, and multiplying it by 100.
Then it calculates additional values like basis (using another SMA), deviation (using standard deviation), upper band (basis + dev), and lower band (basis - dev).
Finally, it plots these values on a chart using different colors for each line. It also creates an array of gradient colors based on RSI values calculated from another indicator called ALMA. This gradient color is used to colorize the RAVI line.
Overall, this script helps visualize and analyze market trends based on moving averages and their relationship with price movements.
Supertrend x4 w/ Cloud FillSuperTrend is one of the most common ATR based trailing stop indicators.
The average true range (ATR) plays an important role in 'Supertrend' as the indicator uses ATR to calculate its value. The ATR indicator signals the degree of price volatility. In this version you can change the ATR calculation method from the settings. Default method is RMA, when the alternative method is SMA.
The indicator is easy to use and gives an accurate reading about an ongoing trend. It is constructed with two parameters, namely period and multiplier.
The implementation of 4 supertrends and cloud fills allows for a better overall picture of the higher and lower timeframe trend one is trading a particular security in.
The default values used while constructing a supertrend indicator is 10 for average true range or trading period.
The key aspect what differentiates this indicator is the Multiplier. The multiplier is based on how much bigger of a range you want to capture. In our case by default, it starts with 2.636 and 3.336 for Set 1 & Set 2 respectively giving a narrow band range or Short Term (ST) timeframe visual. On the other hand, the multipliers for Set 3 & Set 4 goes up to 9.736 and 8.536 for the multiplier respectively giving a large band range or Long Term (LT) timeframe visual.
A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on equities, futures or forex, or even crypto markets and also on minutes, hourly, daily, and weekly charts as well, but generally, it fails in a sideways-moving market. That's why with this implementation it enables one to stay out of the market if they choose to do so when the market is ranging.
This Supertrend indicator is modelled around trends and areas of interest versus buy and sell signals. Therefore, to better understand this indicator, one must calibrate it to one's need first, which means day trader (shorter timeframe) vs swing trader (longer time frame), and then understand how it can be utilized to improve your entries, exits, risk and position sizing.
Example:
In this chart shown above using SPX500:OANDA, 15R Time Frame, we can see that there is at any give time 1 to 4 clouds/bands of Supertrends. These four are called Set 1, Set 2, Set 3 and Set 4 in the indicator. Set's 1 & 2 are considered short term, whereas Set's 3 & 4 are considered long term. The term short and long are subjective based on one's trading style. For instance, if a person is a 1min chart trader, which would be short term, to get an idea of the trend you would have to look at a longer time frame like a 5min for instance. Similarly, in this cases the timeframes = Multiplier value that you set.
Optional Ideas:
+ Apply some basic EMA/SMA indicator script of your choice for easier understanding of the trend or to allow smooth transition to using this indicator.
+ Split the chart into two vertical layouts and applying this same script coupled with xdecow's 2 WWV candle painting script on both the layouts. Now you can use the left side of the chart to show all bearish move candles only (make the bullish candles transparent) and do the opposite for the right side of the chart. This way you enhance focus to just stick to one side at a given time.

Anchored Three Sigma RangeThis indicator serves to display the standard deviation model based on open price from the selected anchored timeframe. Per statistics the price may stay within the three sigma range most of the time, most significantly within first sigma range 68% of the time.
If price breaks the statistical probabilities and out of the three sigma range entirely it could be considered anomalous and perhaps useful for trade planning, use the fib extensions in various ways to have dynamic profit targets, support or resistance.
How is this different
This indicator differs from others in that I've not really seen any others generating solely horizontal levels, anchored from open price and including fib extensions.
How to use
To use this indicator add to the chart, select anchor timeframe, fib display mode and adjust style to liking. Depending on trade plans use the range breaks, consolidations or fib extensions as required.
One could utilize range consolidation for advanced options neutral trades, range breaks for scalping directionally or high fib extensions for rejection based trades. Based on timeframe anchorage there could be some really amazing combinations for any style of trading, comment any unique findings!
What markets
This indicator can be used on anything that has a price :D
Conditions
Any condition is applicable.
RD Opening Range/Initial BalanceIntroducing the RD Opening Range/Initial Balance indicator. The opening range is the first 60 minutes of trading action for a given day (High, Mid, and Low).
The market tends to put significance in these levels, that's why we use them in our trade system.
There is also a data panel:
Today - Today's opening range value
W-Avg - This weeks average
20D CA-OH - the total number of closes above the opening range over the last 20 days (above high)
20D CA-OL - the total number of closes below the opening range over the last 20 days (below low)
* We do plan to add additional data points.
* Only the last OR has labels, we will not be adding them or an option in the future.
* Full customization in setting panel. Color of lines, background, no display of data panel and more.
How to Use
These levels act as dual magnets. They both attract price and repel price.
You use price action and rules to decipher if price is being attracted or repelled.
You will notice as you use this indicator that price respects these levels. Often when answering the 3Qs one of these levels is in play.
During the cash market these levels play a significant role in price action. Even during the Globex/Overnight session these levels are a factor.
Circle areas are examples of price reactions at OR key levels:
If you trade with the RDTS you already know how to use these levels as reaction and target zones.
For clues on which level price is being repelled or attracted I'd suggest you utilize bias and momentum indicators like the RDA.
Initial Balance vs Opening Range
Before we move on and discuss how to use this indicator I want to mention what I consider the difference between the Opening Range and the Initial Balance.
I've adopted the Opening Range verbiage for the first 60 minutes of trading even though the Opening Range is often defined as the first 15m or first 30m.
The more accurate term for the first 60m should be Initial Balance. I'm not sure exactly where this originated but I learned this term when I was heavily trading TPO-- the IB is the first 2 30m blocks of trading.
Any questions or improvements just comment below.

Open Interest Profile [Fixed Range] - By LeviathanThis script generates an aggregated Open Interest profile for any user-selected range and provides several other features and tools, such as OI Delta Profile, Positive Delta Levels, OI Heatmap, Range Levels, OIWAP, POC and much more.
The indicator will help you find levels of interest based on where other market participants are opening and closing their positions. This provides a deeper insight into market activity and serves as a foundation for various different trading strategies (trapped traders, supply and demand, support and resistance, liquidity gaps, imbalances,liquidation levels, etc). Additionally, this indicator can be used in conjunction with other tools such as Volume Profile.
Open Interest (OI) is a key metric in derivatives markets that refers to the total number of unsettled or open contracts. A contract is a mutual agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. Each contract consists of a long side and a short side, with one party consenting to buy (long) and the other agreeing to sell (short). The party holding the long position will profit from an increase in the asset's price, while the one holding the short position will profit from the price decline. Every long position opened requires a corresponding short position by another market participant, and vice versa. Although there might be an imbalance in the number of accounts or traders holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains balanced at a 1:1 ratio. For instance, an Open Interest of 100 BTC implies that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There might be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer on the other side with larger positions, but the net value of positions on both sides is equivalent - 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario where a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of $30k. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing a short order for 1 BTC at the same price of $30k. When both long and short orders are matched and executed, the Open Interest increases by 1 BTC, indicating the introduction of this new contract to the market.
The meaning of fluctuations in Open Interest:
- OI Increase - signifies new positions entering the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Decrease - indicates positions exiting the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Flat - represents no change in open positions due to low activity or a large number of contract transfers (contracts changing hands instead of being closed).
Typically, we monitor Open Interest in the form of its running value, either on a chart or through OI Delta histograms that depict the net change in OI for each price bar. This indicator enhances Open Interest analysis by illustrating the distribution of changes in OI on the price axis rather than the time axis (akin to Volume Profiles). While Volume Profile displays the volume that occurred at a given price level, the Open Interest Profile offers insight into where traders were opening and closing their positions.

Supply and Demand Visible Range [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator displays areas & levels on the user's chart for the visible range using a novel volume-based method. The script also makes use of intra-bar data to create precise Supply & Demand zones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas and levels displayed by the script are aimed at providing potential supports/resistances for users. The script's behavior makes it recalculate each time the visible chart interval/range changes, as such this script is more suited as a descriptive tool.
Price reaching a supply (upper) area that might have been tested a few times might be indicative of a potential reversal down, while price reaching a demand (lower) area that might have been tested a few times could be indicative of a potential reversal up.
The width of each area can also indicate which areas are more liquid, with thinner areas indicating more significant liquidity.
The user can control the width of each area using the Threshold % setting, with a higher setting returning wider areas. The precision setting can also return wider supply/demand areas if very low values are used and has the benefit of improving the script execution time at the cost of precision.
The Supply and Demand Zones indicator returns various levels. The solid-colored levels display the average of each area, while dashed colored lines display the weighted averages of each area. These weighted averages can highlight more liquid price levels within the supply/demand areas.
Central solid/dashed lines display the average between the areas' averages and weighted averages.
🔶 DETAILS
Each supply/demand area is constructed from volume data. The calculation is done as follows:
The accumulated volume within the chart visible range is calculated.
The chart visible range is divided into N bins of equal width (where N is the resolution setting)
Calculation start from the highest visible range price value for the supply area, and lowest value for the demand area.
The volume within each bin after the starting calculation level is accumulated, once this accumulated volume is equal or exceed the threshold value ( p % of the total visible range volume) the area is set.
Each bin volume accumulation within an area is displayed on the left, this can help indicate how fast volume accumulates within an area.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script execution time is dependent on all of the script's settings, using more demanding settings might return errors so make sure to be aware of the potential scenarios that might make the script exceed the allowed execution time:
Having a chart's visible range including a high number of bars.
Using a high number of bins (high resolution value) will increase computation time, this can be worsened by using a high threshold %.
Using very low intra-bar timeframe can drastically increase computation time but can also simply throw an error if the chart timeframe is high.
Users facing issues can lower the resolution value or use the chart timeframe for intra-bar data.
