CRT Trades (turtle soup, A-M-D ranges with inside bars)CRT means Candle Range Theory. Every single candle is a range, on every single timeframe. Ranges may be either manipulated - turtle souped or broken - engulfed - closed above/below and retested.
CRT is usually presented as a 3 candle model. However it may consist of more than 3 candles due to inside bars. Inside bar is the candle where high is not higher then previous candle high and low is not lower then previous candle low.
First candle represents accumulation (may consist of more candles - inside bars), second candle represents manipulation (turtle soup) and third candle represents distribution. The abbreviation for that is A-M-D.
In accumulation the range with specific high and low is created. In manipulation (turtle soup) the high or low of the range is manipulated - liquidity taken and price should usually reverse back to the range. In distribution price is reversing back to the opposite side of the range. On higher timeframe it looks like manipulation candle wick is higher/lower than previous range high/low (may consist of 1 or more inside bar candles) but the body must not close above/below previous range high/low. Otherwise it is not manipulation (turtle soup) most likely and price should continue in direction of the candle close. Distribution candle should touch opposite side of range and it is mostly heavy and fast candle.
CRT model can be found on higher timeframe (e.g. 4h) and entries can be found on lower timeframe (e.g. 15m). You always use only lower timeframe on your chart because CRT model on the higher timeframe is shown on the lower one and also you can plan entries on the lower timeframe. You are able to change CRT model higher timeframe in the indicator settings.
There are two types of entries:
simple - wait for manipulation candle to close on higher timeframe (HTF) and then enter on lower timeframe (LTF) above open of the distribution candle on HTF if it is short or on LTF below open of the distribution candle on HTF if it is long. These entries can be done by market order.
advanced - wait for the break of previous range high/low and enter by limit order when price reverses back to the range and retraces to the order block or fair value gap created by the breaker candle.
Stop loss can be placed above/below of the top/bottom created by manipulation candle. First take profit should be placed in 1/2 of the accumulation range and second take profit should be placed at the opposite range of accumulation range.
It is possible to filter only particular accumulation (range) and manipulation (turtle soup) candles depending also on timezone set in the settings. For example on 4h CRT model if you fill input "indices" for section "range" like 1,2 and input "indices" for section "turtle soup" like 3,4 then you are awaiting the range to form during asia session and manipulation during london session if the timezone is somewhere around "UTC+2".
Dotted lines represent turtle soup of previous range and solid lines represent engulfing candle of the breaker candle on lower timeframe. When the engulfing is closed you can look for entries either by market order after closing or by limit order when the price retraces to order block (created by breaker candle) or fair value gap (created by engulfing).
Recommendations for combining lower (entries) and higher (crt model) timeframes:
1D CRT model => 1h entries,
4h CRT model => 15m entries,
1h CRT model => 5m entries,
15m CRT model => 1m entries.

Impulse Range Compression & Expansion (IRCE)📌 Impulse Range Compression & Expansion (IRCE) – Visualizing Price Traps Before Breakouts
📖 Overview
The IRCE Indicator is a precision breakout detection tool designed to identify consolidation traps and price coil zones before expansion moves occur. Unlike traditional volatility indicators that rely solely on statistical thresholds (e.g., Bollinger Bands or ATR), IRCE focuses on behavioral price compression, detecting tight-range candle clusters and validating breakouts through body expansion and/or volume surges.
This makes it ideal for traders looking to:
• Catch breakouts from range traps
• Avoid choppy and premature signals
• Spot early-stage momentum moves based on clean price behavior
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. Impulse Range Compression Detection
• Measures the high-low range of each candle
• Compares it to a user-defined average range (default 7 bars)
• Flags candles where the range is significantly smaller (e.g., <60% of average)
• Groups these into tight clusters, indicating compression zones or potential “trap ranges”
2. Cluster Box Construction
• When a valid cluster (e.g., 3 or more tight candles) is detected, the indicator:
• Marks the high and low of the cluster
• Draws a shaded box over this “trap zone”
• This helps visually track where price has coiled before a breakout
3. Breakout Confirmation Logic
A breakout from the trap zone is only validated when:
• Price closes above the cluster high (bullish) or below the cluster low (bearish)
• One or both of the following confirm strength:
• Body Expansion: Current candle body is 120%+ of recent average
• Volume Expansion: Volume exceeds recent volume average
4. Optional Trend Filter
• An optional EMA filter (default: 50 EMA) ensures breakout signals align with trend direction
• Helps filter out countertrend noise in ranging markets
5. Signal Cooldown
• Prevents repeated signals by enforcing a cooldown period (e.g., 10 bars) between entries
⸻
🖥️ Visual Elements
• 📦 Yellow compression boxes represent tight price traps
• 🟢 Buy labels appear when price breaks above the trap with confirmation
• 🔴 Sell labels appear when price breaks below with confirmation
• All visuals are non-repainting and updated in real-time
🧠 How to Use
1. Wait for a yellow trap box to appear
2. Watch for a confirmed breakout from the trap zone
3. Take the trade in the direction of the breakout:
• Only if it satisfies body or volume confirmation
• And if trend alignment is enabled, it must match EMA direction
4. Place stops just outside the opposite end of the trap zone
5. Use risk/reward ratios or structure levels for exits
This logic works great on:
• Lower timeframes (scalping breakouts)
• Higher timeframes (detecting price coiling before major moves)
• Any market: Stocks, Crypto, FX, Commodities
⸻
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ No repainting
• ✅ No future-looking logic
• ✅ Suitable for both discretionary and systematic traders
• ✅ Built in Pine Script v6
Dynamic Auto RangesBrief Overview:
The "Dynamic Auto Ranges" indicator automatically detects and displays dynamic price range levels around the current market price. This indicator was initially designed and optimized for price movements on Nasdaq, but may also be useful for other instruments with input adjustments. Its purpose is to help traders identify potential support/resistance zones or other key price levels in an adaptive manner. All range lines and their labels are displayed in red for clear visibility.
Key Features:
Automatic Main Range Detection: The indicator intelligently calculates a primary price range block (e.g., 21600-21800) based on the real-time price.
Adjustable Main Range Block Size: Users can select the size of this main range block via settings (e.g., 50, 100, 200, 500 points, etc.), allowing flexibility for various instruments and trading styles.
Automatic Subdivisions: Within the detected dynamic main range, the indicator automatically draws subdivision lines at intervals that are also user-configurable (e.g., every 25 points).
Full Horizontal Lines: All range lines are displayed as full horizontal lines extending to both the left and right sides of the chart (extend.both), providing a clear visualization of levels across history and into the future.
Informative Price Labels: Each subdivision line is accompanied by a clear price label, positioned below the line for easy readability. The label text size has also been adjusted to be larger and more visible (size.small).
Contrasting Red Visuals: Lines and price label text are displayed in red to ensure they stand out on your chart.
Line Style Configuration: Users can customize the line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and the line width for general subdivisions, as well as for the main boundaries of the range block.
Real-time Updates: The range levels and their subdivisions will automatically shift and update as the market price moves into new main range blocks.
How to Use:
Add the "Dynamic Auto Ranges" indicator to your chart (optimized for Nasdaq, but can be tested on other instruments).
Open the indicator's settings (the gear icon next to the indicator name).
Adjust the "Main Range Block Size" to determine how large you want the primary range block to be around the current price.
Set the "Subdivision Step" to determine the interval for the lines within that main range.
Use the displayed lines as a reference for your price action analysis.
Customizable Settings:
Main Range Block Size: Choose the size of the main range block.
Subdivision Step: Set the interval for subdivision lines.
Style: Select the line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted).
Width: Set the line width for subdivisions.
Main Boundary Width: Set a specific width for the main range block boundary lines.
Note:
This indicator is designed to provide visual guidance based on mathematical calculations of price movements. Like all trading tools, it should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as the sole basis for making trading decisions.

REVE Cohorts - Range Extension Volume Expansion CohortsREVE Cohorts stands for Range Extensions Volume Expansions Cohorts.
Volume is divided in four cohorts, these are depicted in the middle band with colors and histogram spikes.
0-80 percent i.e. low volumes; these get a green color and a narrow histogram bar
80-120 percent, normal volumes, these get a blue color and a narrow histogram bar
120-200 percent, high volume, these get an orange color and a wide histogram bar
200 and more percent is extreme volume, maroon color and wide bar.
All histogram bars have the same length. They point to the exact candle where the volume occurs.
Range is divided in two cohorts, these are depicted as candles above and below the middle band.
0-120 percent: small and normal range, depicted as single size, square candles
120 percent and more, wide range depicted as double size, rectangular candles.
The range candles are placed and colored according to the Advanced Price Algorithm (published script). If the trend is up, the candles are in the uptrend area, which is above the volume band, , downtrend candles below in the downtrend area. Dark blue candles depict a price movement which confirms the uptrend, these are of course in the uptrend area. In this area are also light red candles with a blue border, these depict a faltering price movement countering the uptrend. In the downtrend area, which is below the volume band, are red candles which depict a price movement confirming the downtrend and light blue candles with a red border depicting price movement countering the downtrend. A trend in the Advanced Price Algorithm is in equal to the direction of a simple moving average with the same lookback. The indicator has the same lagging.as this SMA.
Signals are placed in the vacated spaces, e.g. during an uptrend the downtrend area is vacated.
There are six signals, which arise as follows:
1 Two blue triangles up on top of each other: high or extreme volume in combination with wide range confirming uptrend. This indicates strong and effective up pressure in uptrend
2 Two pink tringles down on top of each other: high or extreme volume in combination with wide range down confirming downtrend. This indicates strong and effective down pressure in downtrend
3 Blue square above pink down triangle down: extreme volume in combination with wide range countering uptrend. This indicates a change of heart, down trend is imminent, e.g. during a reversal pattern. Down Pressure in uptrend
4 Pink square below blue triangle up: extreme volume in combination with wide range countering downtrend. This indicates a change of heart, reversal to uptrend is imminent. Up Pressure in downtrend
5 single blue square: a. extreme volume in combination with small range confirming uptrend, b. extreme volume in combination with small range countering downtrend, c. high volume in combination with wide range countering uptrend. This indicates halting upward price movement, occurs often at tops or during distribution periods. Unresolved pressure in uptrend
6 Single pink square: a extreme volume in combination with small range confirming downtrend, b extreme volume in combination with small range countering uptrend, c high volume in combination with wide range countering downtrend. This indicated halting downward price movement. Occurs often at bottoms or during accumulation periods. Unresolved pressure in downtrend.
The signals 5 and 6 are introduced to prevent flipping of signals into their opposite when the lookback is changed. Now signals may only change from unresolved in directional or vice versa. Signals 3 and 4 were introduced to make sure that all occurrences of extreme volume will result in a signal. Occurrences of wide volume only partly lead to a signal.
Use of REVE Cohorts.
This is the indicator for volume-range analyses that I always wanted to have. Now that I managed to create it, I put it in all my charts, it is often the first part I look at, In my momentum investment system I use it primarily in the layout for following open positions. It helps me a lot to decide whether to close or hold a position. The advantage over my previous attempts to create a REVE indicator (published scripts), is that this version is concise because it reports and classifies all possible volumes and ranges, you see periods of drying out of volume, sequences of falter candles, occurrences of high morning volume, warning and confirming signals.. The assessment by script whether some volume should be considered low, normal, high or extreme gives an edge over using the standard volume bars.
Settings of REVE Cohorts
The default setting for lookback is ‘script sets lookback’ I put this in my indicators because I want them harmonized, the script sets lookback according to timeframe. The tooltip informs which lookback will be set at which timeframe, you can enable a feedback label to show the current lookback. If you switch ‘script sets lookback’ off, you can set your own preferred user lookback. The script self-adapts its settings in such a way that it will show up from the very first bar of historical chart data, it adds volume starting at the fourth bar.
You can switch off volume cohorts, only range candles will show while the middle band disappears. Signals will remain if volume is present in the data. Some Instruments have no volume data, e.g. SPX-S&P 500 Index,, then only range candles will be shown.
Colors can be adapted in the inputs. Because the script calculates matching colors with more transparency it is advised to use 100 percent opacity in these settings.

EMA + ATR Support/Resistance Auto-Boxed Range + Take profitUnveiling the 'EMA + ATR Support/Resistance Auto-Boxed Range + Take profit signal' tool, an innovative resource engineered for discerning traders to pinpoint crucial dynamic support and resistance levels (not like the common pivot based support and resistance indictors). The tool ingeniously amalgamates the power of EMA and ATR indicators to delineate these levels as green and red bands, offering invaluable insights into potential trading windows.
The real game-changers in this tool are the newly incorporated 'Auto Boxed Range Detector' and the 'Bull Bear Tug of War' detector. The Auto Boxed Range Detector is at the core of this update, illuminating price ranges to give you the upper hand in detecting breakouts or breakdowns. This feature has been designed meticulously to automate the identification of trading ranges, thereby increasing the accuracy and speed of your decision-making process. Also, this helps avoiding fake breakouts. If the top of the boxed range is near resistance line it is less likely to breakout unless we are on a trend day.
Simultaneously, the Bull Bear Tug of War detector (the little red and green triangles at the bottom) introduces an entirely new dimension of market dominance visualization. This detector embodies market power struggles through vivid red and green triangles, supplemented by translucent colors for transitional periods or potential false-outs. It's a dynamic, real-time pictorial representation of the ceaseless tug of war between bulls and bears captured by a combination of RSI, CCI, MACD, STOCHASTIC, AND VWAP, enabling you to anticipate market swings better. You can change the position of the triangles in the setting and move the red ones to top and keep the green ones in the bottom.
Customization options are plentiful, including the ability to tweak the EMA and ATR lengths, with default values set at 20 and 14 respectively. Additionally, you can modify the ATR multiplier in the S/R length setting, defaulted at 2, and the line width for optimal visibility. The EMA line can be made visible in the settings, while support and resistance lines are color-coded in green and red for instant recognition.
When prices make contact with these levels, the tool generates visual cues in the form of crosses above or below the price bars, thus serving as potential take profit or entry/exit points. Should you prefer, take profit signals can be deactivated in the settings.
To leverage this tool to its maximum potential:
- Fine-tune the EMA and ATR lengths to resonate with your trading strategy. Longer lengths yield smoother lines but may trail current prices.
- Determine the S/R length to govern the spacing of support and resistance lines from the EMA line.
- Stay alert for crosses above or below the price bar, signaling when prices have met support or resistance levels. These are key indicators for potential take profit or entry/exit decisions.
- For best results, this tool should be used in conjunction with other indicators to corroborate signals and minimize false alerts. The ultimate aim is to utilize other indicators to initiate a trade and rely on this tool to provide timely take profit reminders.
Bear in mind, this tool should not be the sole determinant in your investment decisions. Comprehensive research and a multifaceted approach are indispensable when contemplating any trades.

CAT Month Opening RangeA trading range which is formed during the first three trading day of any month sets an important "Month Opening Range".
The lowest price made during the first three trading days can be considered the Monthly Support level (see the green line drawn by the indicator).
The highest price made during the first three trading days can be considered the Monthly Resistance level (see the red line drawn by the indicator).
In an Up trending market price tends to break over the upper edge of the Month Opening Range and keep moving higher at the very least until the middle of that month.
In an Up trending market once price broke out of the Month Opening Range, the Monthly Resistance level tends to work as a support.
In a Down trending market price tends to break under the lower edge of the Month Opening Range and keep moving higher at the very least until the middle of that month.
In a Down trending market once price broke under the Month Opening Range, the Monthly Support level tends to work as a resistance
There are may ways to use that instrument:
(1) Trend Confirmation.
The first three days of a month tends to bring volatile trading. The market sets boundaries for the following four trading weeks.
Once the range has been set, swing traders may wait for the market to break out of the range and consider that direction of the prevailing trend direction.
(2) Short "Failed Breakout" setup
Quite often price breaks out of the Month Opening Range on the fourth or fifth trading day of a month but then drops back into the range.
That failed breakout quite often is followed by decline back down to the Month Support level (the lower edge of the Month Opening Range).
(3) Long "Failed Breakdown" setup
Quite often price breaks down under the Month Support on the fourth or fifth trading day of a month but then pops back up over the Monthly Support.
That failed breakdown quite often is followed by a rally targeting to retest the Monthly Resistance (the red line).

Price Range Retrace statisticks [HERMAN]📈 Price Range Retrace Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders quantify how often price retraces to a selected equilibrium level (e.g., 50%) after sweeping the high/low of a defined time-based range.
It is especially useful for modeling sessions such as the London Opening Range (e.g., 02:00–03:00 NY time), checking if price sweeps that range in a subsequent window (e.g., 03:00–04:00), and returns to its 50% level.
✅ What does it do?
Lets you define multiple time ranges (e.g. London, NY Open, custom ranges).
Draws the range box for the selected session time.
Calculates and plots the retracement level (default 50%).
Checks if price sweeps the high/low of the range before retracing.
Tracks success rate, average distance, sample size and displays these stats in a table.
⚙️ Key Features:
Fully customizable time windows (range box time and retracement check time).
-Configurable retracement % (default 50% equilibrium).
-Optional sweep condition (only count retracements if price sweeps the high/low first).
-Clean, theme-adaptive stats table with success rates and averages.
-Supports two independent levels (e.g. London and NY sessions).
📊 Why use it?
This tool turns session-based setups into statistical models:
Backtest session strategies over many days.
Quantify edge with % success over time.
Validate trading ideas with data.
Use probabilities instead of gut feeling.
Example insight you can track:
“Between 3–4 AM NY time, price swept the high/low of the 2–3 AM London Opening Range and returned to its 50% equilibrium level in 64% of 234 sessions.”
📌 Ideal for:
ICT concepts (Opening Range, Sweep, Equilibrium Return).
Algo developers wanting probabilities.
Anyone who wants data-driven confirmation for session range mean-reversion.
Instructions:
1️⃣ Enable the desired Price Range (1 or 2).
2️⃣ Set your Range Time (e.g. 02:00–03:00).
3️⃣ Set your Retracement Check Time (e.g. 03:00–04:00).
4️⃣ Choose retracement % (e.g. 50%).
5️⃣ Watch the box and retrace line plot on chart.
6️⃣ Review the success statistics in the table.
Candle Range Detector [UAlgo]The "Candle Range Detector " is a Pine Script™ indicator designed to identify trading opportunities based on the concept of price consolidation and breakout. It analyzes the price range of a specified number of previous candles and detects when subsequent candles stay within that range (consolidation). The indicator then highlights potential breakouts above or below the range and provides calculated Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels based on your chosen method (percentage or Average True Range - ATR).
🔶 Key Features
Configurable Range: Define the minimum number of candles required to establish a valid price range.
Breakout Detection: Identify potential breakouts above or below the established range based on your selection (close price or wick).
Take Profit & Stop Loss Levels: The indicator calculates TP and SL levels based on your chosen method (percentage or ATR) and user-defined multipliers. The calculated TP and SL levels are visualized as horizontal lines with corresponding labels ("Take Profit" and "Stop Loss").
Optional Count Display: You can choose to display the number of candles currently within the range.
🔶 Disclaimer:
Not Financial Advice: This indicator is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any financial instruments.
Use at Own Risk: Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Users of this indicator should exercise caution and conduct their own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.
Performance Not Guaranteed: Past performance is not indicative of future results. While the indicator aims to assist traders in analyzing market trends, there is no guarantee of accuracy or success in trading operations.

Buyers & Sellers / RangeBuyers & Sellers / Range
Volatility oscillator that measures the relationship of Buying & Selling Pressure to True Range.
In other words, how much % Buyers and Sellers separately occupy the Bar
BSP is a part of Bar Range. Entire bar metrics will always have bigger value than its composite elements (body and wicks).
Since there will be NO chance of BP or SP being more than ATR, their ratio would serve crucial Volatility details.
Hence, we can relate each of them to the overall range.
As a result we have simultaneous measurements of proportions buyers and sellers to the bar.
Default mode shows BP/ATR and SP/ATR mirrored. When one rises, the other falls to compensate.
Buying Pressure / True Range ⬆️🟢 ⬇️🔵
Selling Pressure / True Range ⬆️🔴 ⬇️🟠
They are being averaged in 2 different ways:
Pre-average first, then relate as ratio
Related first, then Averaged
Enable "Preaveraged" to use already averaged BSP and Ranges in ratio instead of averaging the ratio of BSP to individual bar. For example, we're looking BP/ATR, in calculation of buyers / Range it will use "MA(Buying Pressure) / MA(True Range)" instead of "MA(Buying Pressure / True Range)".
Due such calculation, it is going to be more lagging than in off mode. Nevertheless, it reduces noise from the impact of individual bar change.
Second way of noise reduction is enabling "Body / Range"
BSP Body / Range where Bullish & Bearish Body = Buying & Selling Pressure - Relevant Wick
Buying Body = Buying Pressure - Lower Wick
Selling Body = Selling Pressure - Upper Wick
And only then it is divided to ATR.
Note that Balance line differs because body is less than it used to be with wicks. So change in wicks won't play any role in computing the ratio anymore. Thus, signals of their crossings will be more reliable than in default mode.

Gradient Range [BigBeluga]
This indicator highlights range-bound market conditions by dynamically plotting gradient-colored candlesticks within a defined price box. It detects whether the market is ranging or trending using ADX and can identify mean reversion points when price steps outside the established range.
🔵KEY FEATURES:
Range Detection Box:
➣ A transparent box is drawn based on the highest and lowest price close over a user-defined period.
➣ Helps visualize range boundaries and the midline for support/resistance reference.
Gradient Candlestick Coloring:
➣ Candles inside the range are colored with a gradient from top to bottom based on proximity to the midline.
➣ Top range candles are shaded with bearish tones, while bottom range candles use bullish tones.
Ranging/Trending State Detection:
➣ Uses ADX to determine if the market is currently in a ranging or trending state.
➣ A label in the bottom right corner shows a real-time status (🟢 Ranging / 🟡 Trending).
Mean Reversion Signal Circles:
➣ When the market is ranging, white circles are plotted at highs/lows that breach the box boundary, indicating potential mean reversion points.
➣ These levels can act as fade trade setups or exhaustion markers.
🔵USAGE:
Range Trading: Trade between the upper and lower boundaries during range-bound conditions with clearer visual feedback.
Mean Reversion Plays: Use circle signals as early alerts to identify when price extends beyond the range and may revert to the mean.
Visual Trend Strength: Instantly recognize where price is concentrated inside the range via the color gradient system.
Ranging Filter: Use the ADX label to avoid false setups during strong trending periods.
Gradient Range provides an elegant and data-driven approach to range-bound market analysis. With its gradient visualization and smart reversion detection, it empowers traders to better time entries and exits within consolidation zones.
Hourly Ranges @joshuuuThis indicator creates a statistic to track the average range per hourly candle.

It has the option to filter specific days to see if price behaves differently depending of the day of the week. monday in the menu is 2, tuesday number 3, wednesday number 4, ...
It has the option to show the range in pips (for forex) or points (for indices).
One can use that data to find the hour with the biggest range to try to catch the greatest range.
Range Bound - Rev NR - 12-25-22RangeBound - Code tracks price action within a user specified range (lookback), and tracks/charts overall high/lows, open high/lows, and close high/lows. Code resets certain parameters based on break of range to assist with determine price action - Can be useful to determine resistances to movement regardless of S&R levels. Code also uses the previous 5X Close High/Lows ranges as will chart as support and resistance to assist with determine resistance to price action
Note if using "redraw" shorter lookback periods will take additional time to compile due to multiple "redraws/deletes of previous lines" Uncheck redraw to reduce compile time

ICT Anchored IPDA RangesThis script is an anchored variation of my "ICT IPDA Look Back" script. Similarly, it calculates ICT's daily IPDA look back time intervals and their respective discount / equilibrium / premium; however, it also applies the Forward Cast IPDA daily ranges.
The Forward Cast can be used to estimate the time at which IPDA might initiate a change in institutional order flow. This depends on several factors such as time of the year, and time of daily structure break.
> IPDA Basics:
IPDA stands for Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm. Said algorithm appears to be referencing the past 20, 40 , and 60 days intervals as points of reference to define ranges and related PD arrays.
Intraday traders can find most value in the 20 Day Look Back box, by observing imbalances and points of interest.
Longer term traders can reference the 40 and 60 Day Look Back boxes for a clear indication of current market conditions.

Azimuth Dynamics
Scalping tool for help finding potentially high probability reactive levels. I suggest using on a 5min chart.
GRAY BAND: yesterday's High-Low range
BLUE BAND: today's Developing Range. Mean of today's High-Low range so far and yesterday's High-Low range, this is calculated for each of today's bars
THIN BLUE LINE: the mean of today's range median and yesterday's range median.
Note: we do not use the DAILY bar via 'security()' to obtain today's high and low. This would essentially be forward looking, instead we use iteration to check from the current bar back to midnight, bar by bar. This then allows a developing range to be established as the day prints new highs and lows.
