Consolidation Ranges [ITA]🟠 OVERVIEW
Consolidation Ranges finds the places where price stopped trending and went sideways, draws the range while it forms, marks the bar that closes outside it, and then keeps watching to see whether that breakout actually held.
Finding a sideways range is the easy half. Every tool in this category draws the box and marks the breakout, and then stops, which is where the trader's real problem starts. The most common complaint about trading ranges is that the breakout fails and price comes straight back in, and almost nothing measures how often that happens.
So this one waits. After a breakout it gives price a set number of bars to stay outside. Close back inside within that window and the breakout is marked Failed. Stay out and it is marked Held. The running count of both sits in the corner.
🟠 CONCEPTS
* Consolidation - A stretch of bars whose full high to low span stays inside a chosen multiple of ATR. Measuring the range in ATR rather than in points means the same setting behaves the same way on a quiet symbol and a volatile one.
* Range Widening - While price stays inside, the box grows to contain each new bar, but only while the result is still narrow enough to count as a range. Without that limit a slow drift never breaks out, it just drags the box along with it.
* Breakout - The first close outside the box. The close matters rather than the wick, because a wick outside a range is the thing that most often reverses.
* Confirmation Window - The number of bars a breakout is given to prove itself.
* Held and Failed - What actually happened. Held means price stayed outside for the whole window. Failed means it closed back inside the range it had just left.
🟠 FEATURES
🔹 Range width measured in ATR, so one setting works across symbols and timeframes rather than needing to be retuned for each
🔹 The box builds live as the range develops and locks on the bar that breaks it
🔹 Breakouts marked in both directions at the price where the close happened
🔹 Every breakout followed to an outcome and labelled Held or Failed
🔹 A running count of held against failed breakouts, with the rate, for the symbol and timeframe on screen
🔹 Separate alerts for a break up, a break down, a failed breakout and a held breakout
🔹 If the settings are strict enough that nothing is found, the chart says so and names the two inputs to change, rather than leaving you looking at an empty chart unable to tell a quiet symbol from a bad setting
🟠 HOW TO USE
Set Range Length first. It decides how significant a consolidation has to be before it is drawn at all. Twenty bars is a reasonable starting point on any timeframe. Raise it for fewer and larger ranges.
Max Width is the second control. If nothing is being found on a volatile symbol, raise it. If the whole chart is boxes, lower it.
Then read the count in the corner before anything else. It is telling you whether breakouts on this symbol and timeframe have been worth taking. A symbol where most breakouts failed is not a symbol to trade breakouts on, and that is worth knowing before the next one rather than after it.
Bars To Confirm decides how patient the measurement is. A short window counts quick reversals as failures. A longer one only counts a breakout as failed if price genuinely came back.
🟠 CONCLUSION
Drawing the range is the part every tool does. The part that decides whether the range was worth trading is what happened after the break, and that is what this one records. อินดิเคเตอร์
Consolidation DNA | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW:
Consolidation DNA is a market structure tool that finds price consolidations and describes what is happening inside them. A consolidation is any stretch where price stops travelling and starts moving sideways in a contained area. Most tools stop at drawing a box around that area. Consolidation DNA draws the box and then measures twelve properties of the price action inside it. Eleven of those measurements are compared against five reference profiles, and the indicator reports which profile the consolidation matches most closely. It has two detection methods, one that builds a range out of consecutive compressed candles and one that builds a range out of a fixed price area that price has stayed inside, and both produce the same output, so a trader can choose whichever suits the instrument and the timeframe.
Once a range is confirmed, the indicator watches for the moment price leaves it. It marks that break, freezes the box at the break bar, and then follows price for a set number of bars afterwards to record how far it travelled away from the range. Those measurements are grouped by consolidation type and shown in a dashboard, so a trader can look at the loaded chart history and see how each type of consolidation behaved after it broke. The five types are Clean Coil, Choppy Range, Directional Pressure, Exhaustion, and High Effort Balance, and each one describes a different kind of sideways market. A Clean Coil and a Choppy Range both look like a box on a chart, but the price action inside them is very different, and the indicator separates them using measurements taken from the candles.
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THE INDICATOR?
Price spends a large part of every session moving sideways. Traders call these areas consolidations, ranges, bases, or coils. The common idea behind all of these names is the same. Buyers and sellers are close to balanced, so price stays inside a contained area for a while before one side takes control and price leaves the area. The problem is that not every sideways area is the same. Two boxes on a chart can look identical in width and height while the candles inside them tell completely different stories.
In one box, the candles are small, they overlap each other heavily, they close near the middle of the area, they alternate direction only occasionally, and volume is quiet. This is the classic picture of a market winding up, and traders call it a coil. In another box of the same size, the candles have long wicks on both sides, closes land near the edges, direction alternates almost every bar, and volume is higher. This is the picture of a market fighting itself, and traders call it chop. A third box holds together while the closes keep drifting toward one edge and the wicks build up on one side, so price is still contained while pressure builds in a direction. A fourth box holds while volume drops away compared with the period before it and directional progress slows down, which is a market running out of participation. A fifth box shows heavy volume, split fairly evenly between rising and falling candles, while price makes almost no net progress, so a large amount of activity is being taken inside a small area.
These five pictures are the reference profiles the indicator uses. Each one is defined by a set of numeric targets across eleven measurements. When a consolidation confirms, the indicator measures the same eleven properties on the live range and finds which of the five profiles sits closest to it in measurement space. The closeness of that match becomes a fit score, and the distance between the best match and the second best match becomes a confidence gap. Both figures describe how closely the structure resembles a profile, and neither one describes what price is likely to do next. The value of this approach is that the description comes from the price action itself. A trader reading the dashboard sees which measurements are high, which are low, and which profile they add up to, and can form a view about the range from that.
The second half of the theory is the record keeping. Once a range breaks, the indicator follows price for a fixed number of bars and records the furthest it travelled away from the range in the break direction. That travel is expressed as a multiple of the range height, so a two point move away from a two point range and a twenty point move away from a twenty point range both record as one times the range. Grouping those records by consolidation type produces a small table describing what happened after each type of consolidation broke on the loaded chart history.

CONSOLIDATION DETECTION
🔹 What is Consolidation Detection?
Consolidation Detection is the part of the indicator that finds the sideways areas and draws boxes around them. It runs on every bar and produces a range that has a start bar, a high, and a low. That range moves through two states. It starts as a developing range, which means the indicator has found the beginning of something but the area has not lasted long enough to be treated as real. It then becomes a mature range once it has lasted for the required number of bars.
The classification measurements run while a range is still developing, and the dashboard may show a provisional type before confirmation. Only the classification calculated at maturity is held and used afterwards, and only mature ranges can produce a break or be added to the statistics.
🔹 Why is Consolidation Detection important?
Every other part of the indicator depends on getting the range right. If the box is drawn around the wrong bars, the measurements inside it describe the wrong price action, the classification is wrong, and the statistics are wrong. Two detection methods are offered because instruments behave differently. A fast futures contract on a low timeframe produces clean runs of small candles, which suits candle based detection. A slower instrument, or a higher timeframe, often produces a contained area made of mixed candle sizes, which suits area based detection.
🔹 How is Consolidation Detection calculated?
The Candles method looks at each candle on its own and decides whether it is a compressed candle. A candle is compressed when two conditions are both true. The body must be smaller than half of the total candle height, measured as the distance from open to close against the distance from high to low. The candle height must also be smaller than the four period Average True Range. A candle that has a small body but a large height is not compressed, and a candle that is short but almost all body is not compressed either. Both conditions must be true together.
When a compressed candle appears, a run starts. The bar it appeared on becomes the start of the range, and its high and low become the first range boundaries. Every following compressed candle extends the run, and the range high and range low widen to include that candle. While a range is still developing, the moment a candle appears that is not compressed, the run ends and is cleared completely. The range must be rebuilt from a new compressed candle.
The Visual Range method works on a fixed area. On each bar the indicator takes the highest high and the lowest low of the last three bars and treats that area as a seed range. If price then trades above the top of that area or below the bottom of it, the area is cleared and a new seed is taken from the most recent three bars. If price stays inside, the area is kept and the count of bars inside it grows. The range boundaries in this method do not widen once the seed is set, because any move outside them clears the range and starts a new one.
In both methods, the number of bars the range has lasted is measured from the start bar to the current bar. When that count reaches the required minimum, the range becomes mature. At that moment the range high and range low are frozen and they no longer move.
While a range is still developing, the indicator checks on every bar that the detection run still starts on the same bar it started on before. If the start bar changes, meaning the run was broken and a new one began, the developing range is cleared and its box is removed. Nothing is recorded for a developing range that never matured. This check stops once a range matures. A mature range holds its fixed boundaries and stays active through candles of any size until price breaks out of it.
After a mature range breaks, a new range cannot open from a detection run that began before the break bar. The indicator waits for a run that starts after the break.
🔹 Settings
Detection Method: Chooses how ranges are found. Candles builds the range from consecutive compressed candles. Visual Range builds the range from a fixed price area that price has stayed inside. This changes the logic of the indicator and the default is Candles.
Min. Consolidating Candles: The number of consecutive compressed candles required before a range becomes mature. Lower numbers produce more ranges and shorter ones. Higher numbers produce fewer ranges that lasted longer. This setting is only active when Detection Method is set to Candles. The default is 4 and the range is 1 to 20.
Min. Candles in Range: The number of bars price must stay inside the seed area before the range becomes mature. This setting is only active when Detection Method is set to Visual Range. The default is 20 and the range is 3 to 160.
🔹 Customization
Developing Boxes: Draws the box while the range is still developing. The default is on.
Mature Boxes: Draws the box once the range has matured, and controls whether the box is kept on the chart after the range breaks. When this is off, a mature range still produces breaks and statistics while no box is drawn for it. The default is on.
Developing: The border and fill color used while the range is developing. The default is a light blue.
Mature: The border and fill color used for a mature range whose type reads Unclear. Ranges with a matched type use that type color. The default is a green.
CONSOLIDATION CLASSIFICATION
🔹 What is Consolidation Classification?
Consolidation Classification is the part of the indicator that describes what kind of consolidation has formed. When a range matures, the indicator measures twelve properties of the price action inside it and compares eleven of them against five reference profiles. The closest profile becomes the type of that consolidation, and the type is shown on the box color, on the label, and in the dashboard.
The five types are Clean Coil, Choppy Range, Directional Pressure, Exhaustion, and High Effort Balance. A sixth outcome, Unclear, appears when no profile is close enough.
🔹 Why is Consolidation Classification important?
A box on a chart tells a trader where a range is, and that is all. It says nothing about whether the market inside that box was winding up quietly, fighting itself, leaning in a direction, running out of participation, or absorbing heavy volume. Those are different situations and traders treat them differently. Classification gives the box a description built from the candles inside it, so the box carries information beyond its own outline.
🔹 How is Consolidation Classification calculated?
The indicator measures twelve properties on every bar. Each one is expressed as a number from zero to one hundred so they can be compared with each other.
The three Structure readings describe how contained the area is. Range Tightness compares the height of the current range against a pool of previously confirmed ranges on the same chart, so a high reading means the current range is small compared with the ranges that came before it. Candle Overlap measures how much price area each bar shares with the bar before it, averaged across the range, and a high reading means the bars sit on top of each other cleanly. Close Containment measures the share of closes that land inside the range after a padding is trimmed from the top and the bottom, and a high reading means closes are staying in the middle area.
The three Pressure readings describe whether the range is leaning in a direction. Trend Drift compares the net move from the first close in the window to the last close against the total of every close to close move in between, and a high reading means most of the movement went in one direction. Close Bias measures how far the average close sits away from the middle of the range, where a reading of zero means closes averaged out at the midpoint and a reading of one hundred means closes sat at one edge. Wick Bias measures the difference between total upper wick and total lower wick as a share of all wick, and a high reading means the wicks are concentrated on one side.
The three Chop / Effort readings describe how much back and forth action the area is taking and how busy it is. Flip Rate measures how often a candle points in the opposite direction to the one before it, and a high reading means direction alternated frequently. Wick Rejection measures the total length of all upper and lower wicks as a share of the total candle height across the range, so a high reading means a large part of the price action was wicks. Effort compares the average volume inside the range against the average volume of the window of equal length that came before it, where a reading of fifty means volume matched the earlier window and a reading above fifty means volume was higher.
The three Balance / Exhaust readings cover volume symmetry, the change in pace, and how long the setup has run. Volume Balance measures how evenly the estimated bullish and bearish volume inside the range are matched, where a high reading means the two sides are close to equal and a low reading means one side dominates, and on a symbol that reports no volume this reading is left blank and the profiles are compared on the remaining ten measurements. Slowdown compares the directional progress of the earlier window against the directional progress of the current one, and a high reading means the market made much less directional progress than it did before. Duration compares how long the current setup has lasted against the number of bars required for confirmation.
The Volume Balance reading is an estimate built from one minute candles when the chart timeframe is above one minute. Each one minute candle is counted as bullish or bearish using its body direction, falling back to its close against the previous close when the body is flat, and a candle that is flat on both counts has its volume split evenly between the two sides. That volume is then scaled by how much of the candle's price range overlaps the consolidation. This approximates how much participation happened inside the area. It is not order flow and it is not volume at price data, so it cannot show which side initiated a trade or where inside a candle the volume changed hands. When one minute data is unavailable the estimate is built from the chart candles directly. This measurement reads the most recent thirty bars of the range.
Each of the five profiles holds a target value for eleven of these measurements. The indicator measures the squared difference between every live reading and its target, averages those differences, takes the square root, and subtracts the result from one hundred. That produces a fit score for each profile. The profile with the highest fit becomes the primary type and the next highest becomes the secondary type. Two thresholds then decide what is displayed. If the highest fit is below fifty five, the type reads Unclear, because no profile was close enough to describe the range. If the highest fit is at least fifty five but the gap between the best and second best is smaller than eight, both names are displayed together separated by a slash, because two profiles describe the range almost equally well. When the fit is at least fifty five and the gap is eight or more, a single type name is displayed.
The Duration measurement is calculated and displayed in the dashboard while the five profiles hold no target for it, so it reports on the setup without affecting which type is chosen. Every other measurement in the dashboard is compared against the profiles. The type is recorded at the moment the range matures and it is held from then on. It does not change while the range waits for a break.
🔹 Reading the five types
Clean Coil sits at high Range Tightness, high Candle Overlap, high Close Containment, low Wick Rejection, low Trend Drift, and low Flip Rate. It describes a small, orderly area where the candles sit on top of each other and the closes stay in the middle.
Choppy Range sits at high Wick Rejection and high Flip Rate with weaker Close Containment. It describes a sideways area where direction changes constantly and a large part of the movement is wicks.
Directional Pressure sits at high Trend Drift and high Close Bias with a lean in Wick Bias and volume leaning to one side. It describes a range that is still holding while the closes keep pushing toward one edge. Trend Drift, Close Bias, and Wick Bias are all measured as magnitudes, so this profile reports that a lean exists while it does not name which side the lean favours. The direction is recorded separately at the moment the range breaks.
Exhaustion sits at low Effort and high Slowdown. It describes a contained area where volume has fallen away compared with the earlier window and directional progress has dropped.
High Effort Balance sits at very high Effort and very high Volume Balance while Trend Drift stays low. It describes an area taking heavy volume that is split fairly evenly between rising and falling candles while price makes almost no net progress.
🔹 Settings
Comparison Lookback: The number of previously confirmed ranges kept as the comparison pool for Range Tightness. A larger number compares the current range against a longer history and a smaller number compares it against recent conditions only. The pool fills up as ranges confirm on the loaded chart, so Range Tightness reads a neutral fifty until the first range has been recorded. The default is 200 and the range is 40 to 1000.
Analysis Window: The largest number of bars used to measure the price action inside a range. A range longer than this number is measured using its most recent bars up to this limit. The default is 200 and the range is 10 to 1000.
Inner Close Padding %: The share of the range height trimmed from the top and the bottom before Close Containment counts which closes are inside. A larger number demands that closes sit closer to the middle before they count as contained. A value of zero counts every close inside the range. The default is 10 and the range is 0 to 40.
🔹 Customization
Clean Coil: The color used for boxes, labels, and dashboard text when the type is Clean Coil. The default is teal.
Choppy Range: The color used when the type is Choppy Range. The default is orange.
Directional Pressure: The color used when the type is Directional Pressure. The default is blue.
Exhaustion: The color used when the type is Exhaustion. The default is amber.
High Effort Balance: The color used when the type is High Effort Balance. The default is purple.
Detection Labels: Draws a label above the box on the bar a range matures, showing the type name and the fit percentage. The label carries a tooltip describing the type and listing the fit and the confidence gap. This option requires Mature Boxes to be on. The default is off.
Developing Labels: Draws a label at the midpoint of the box on the bar a developing range starts. This option requires Developing Boxes to be on. The default is off.
RANGE BREAK DETECTION
🔹 What is Range Break Detection?
Range Break Detection is the part of the indicator that decides when a mature range has ended. Price leaving the range in either direction ends the range. The indicator records the bar it happened on, the direction it happened in, and the height of the range at that moment, then freezes the box so it stops extending to the right.
🔹 Why is Range Break Detection important?
The point at which a range ends is the point a trader cares about, because it is where the contained period stops and directional movement begins. It is also the anchor for every measurement that follows. The expansion travel is measured from the range boundary, and it is expressed as a multiple of the range height, so both numbers must be fixed at the break bar for the statistics to mean anything.
🔹 How is Range Break Detection calculated?
The indicator offers two definitions and the trader chooses one. Under Close Break the range ends when a candle closes above the range high or closes below the range low, so a candle that pushes outside the range during the bar and closes back inside does not end it. Under Wick Break the range ends the moment any part of a candle trades above the range high or below the range low, and the close is not considered at all. Close Break therefore produces fewer breaks, each one requiring a candle to settle outside the area, while Wick Break produces more and catches the first touch outside it.
The direction is recorded as up when the range high was broken and down when the range low was broken, and when both boundaries are exceeded on the same bar the upward break takes priority. At that moment the box stops extending and its right edge is fixed at the break bar, where it stays on the chart as a record of the completed range, while the live range is cleared so the indicator can begin looking for the next one.
The Close Break check reads the current close value, and the Wick Break check reads the current high and low. On a bar that has already closed these are the finalized candle values. On the bar currently forming they are live and still moving, so a break can appear and then disappear while the bar is still open, and it settles when the bar closes. An alert set to fire Once Per Bar Close will report only the breaks that survived to the candle close.
🔹 Bullish Example
A mature range holds for several bars while the dashboard release state reads Waiting. A candle then closes above the range high. With Invalidation Method set to Close Break, the range ends on that candle, the box stops extending and its right edge is fixed at that bar, and a Break Up label is placed at the range high. From that bar the indicator begins measuring how far price travels above the range high, and it continues for the number of bars set in Expansion Window.
🔹 Bearish Example
A mature range holds for several bars while the dashboard release state reads Waiting. A candle then closes below the range low. With Invalidation Method set to Close Break, the range ends on that candle, the box stops extending and its right edge is fixed at that bar, and a Break Down label is placed at the range low. From that bar the indicator begins measuring how far price travels below the range low, and it continues for the number of bars set in Expansion Window.
🔹 Settings
Invalidation Method: Chooses the definition used to end a mature range. Wick Break ends the range on any trade outside the boundaries. Close Break requires a candle to close outside the boundaries. The default is Close Break.
🔹 Customization
Release Labels: Draws a label at the broken boundary on the break bar, reading Break Up or Break Down. The label carries a tooltip listing the method used, the type of the range, the fit percentage, and the range height. The default is off.
Max Stored Boxes: The largest number of completed boxes kept on the chart. Once the count passes this number, the oldest completed box is removed. The default is 80 and the range is 10 to 180.
Max Stored Labels: The largest number of labels kept on the chart across all label types. Once the count passes this number, the oldest label is removed. The default is 120 and the range is 10 to 400.
EXPANSION TRACKING
🔹 What is Expansion Tracking?
Expansion Tracking follows price after a range has broken and records the furthest it travelled away from the range in the break direction. It watches for a set number of bars, records the largest travel it saw, and then adds that record to a running total for the consolidation type.
🔹 Why is Expansion Tracking important?
A break on its own says only that price left the area. It says nothing about how far it went afterwards. Measuring the travel and expressing it as a multiple of the range height makes those measurements comparable across instruments, timeframes, and range sizes, which means they can be grouped and averaged. Grouping them by consolidation type produces a description of how each type behaved after breaking on the loaded chart history.
🔹 How is Expansion Tracking calculated?
When a mature range breaks, the indicator starts a record holding the break direction, the two range boundaries, and the height of the range at that moment, and from that point onward it measures on every bar how far price has travelled away from the broken boundary. For an upward break that travel is the distance from the range high up to the bar high, and for a downward break it is the distance from the range low down to the bar low, so only movement away from the range counts and a bar that trades entirely back inside contributes zero. Each measurement is divided by the range height and compared against the largest value seen so far, and whenever a new largest value appears the indicator records the bar and the price where it occurred so that exact point can be marked on the chart.
The record continues until the window set in Expansion Window has elapsed, counting the break bar itself as the first bar of that window, at which point the largest travel it saw is added to the running total for that consolidation type, the sample count for that type is added to, and the record itself is removed. Records that are still inside their window are held back and they join the averages once their window has finished. Because every measurement is expressed against the height of its own range, a travel equal to one hundred percent of the range height displays as one times, so a range that was ten points tall followed by a move of eighteen points away from the boundary records as one point eight times, which lets ranges of very different sizes be compared on one scale.
Every mature range that breaks is credited to the type profile that scored highest for it, and this includes ranges whose label read Unclear, where the fit sat below the display threshold and no type name was shown. Those breaks are still recorded and they are credited to whichever profile came closest. This is a fixed convention in the indicator, so the counts in the dashboard describe every break that occurred on the loaded chart.
🔹 Settings
Expansion Window: The length of the measurement window, counted from the break bar. The break bar itself counts as the first bar, so a value of 50 covers the break bar and the 49 bars that follow it. A short window records the immediate reaction to the break. A long window records how far the move eventually reached. Changing this number changes every average in the dashboard, because it changes how long each break is followed. The default is 50 and the range is 1 to 500.
🔹 Customization
Expansion Labels: Draws a label showing the travel as a multiple of the range height. It is placed once the window has finished, on the earlier bar where the furthest travel occurred, so it marks a completed outcome in hindsight and it is not present while that move is happening. The default is off.
CONSOLIDATION DASHBOARD
🔹 What is the Consolidation Dashboard?
The Consolidation Dashboard is a table drawn on the chart that reports the current state of the indicator and the history it has recorded. It has three parts. The header reports what state the indicator is in and which type the active setup matches. The middle section reports twelve readings for the active setup, which are the eleven compared against the profiles plus Duration. The lower section groups the recorded breaks by type.
🔹 Why is the Consolidation Dashboard important?
The box and its color report the conclusion. The dashboard reports the measurements the conclusion was drawn from, together with Duration, which describes the setup without feeding it. A trader who can see that Range Tightness is at ninety, Candle Overlap is at eighty five, and Flip Rate is at fifteen understands why the range was described as a Clean Coil, and can also see when a reading is borderline. The type and the fit percentage are held from the moment the range matured while the measurement rows keep updating on every bar, so on a range that has been holding for a while the live readings describe the range as it stands now and the type describes it as it was at confirmation. Every cell in the table carries a tooltip explaining what it measures.
🔹 How is the Consolidation Dashboard calculated?
The header row reports the state of the indicator. It reads No active setup when nothing has been found, Developing while a range is forming, and Mature once a range has confirmed. A range is cleared on the bar it breaks, so from that bar the header returns to No active setup until the next range is found. Beside the state, the header reports the type name and the fit percentage. When a range matched two profiles closely, a second header row appears carrying the second type name and its fit percentage.
The Current Setup row appears while a setup is active. It reports the range low and the range high as a pair, and it reports the release state. The release state reads Not confirmed while the range is still developing and Waiting once it has matured and is holding.
The four measurement rows appear once the active setup has lasted at least a quarter of the bars required for confirmation, and they carry three readings each. Structure reports Range Tightness, Candle Overlap, and Close Containment, which together describe how contained the area is. Pressure reports Trend Drift, Close Bias, and Wick Bias, which together describe whether the range is leaning in a direction. Chop / Effort reports Flip Rate, Wick Rejection, and Effort, which together describe how much back and forth action the area is taking and how busy it is. Balance / Exhaust reports Volume Balance, Slowdown, and Duration. Volume Balance and Slowdown both feed the classification, and Slowdown carries its highest target of any profile in Exhaustion, while Duration describes the setup without feeding it.
The History by Type section lists all five types with two columns. Samples reports how many breaks of that type have completed the full Expansion Window. Avg Max Expansion reports the average of the furthest travel across those completed breaks, shown as a multiple of the range height. Hovering a Samples cell shows the total number of breaks detected for that type, including any that are still inside their window.
Every figure in the History section describes what occurred on the loaded chart history. Loading more history, changing the timeframe, or changing Expansion Window will change these figures.
🔹 Settings
Show Dashboard: Draws the dashboard table on the chart. The default is on.
Position: Places the dashboard at one of nine points on the chart. The options are Top Right, Top Center, Top Left, Middle Right, Middle Center, Middle Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Center, and Bottom Left. The default is Top Right. This dropdown sits beside Show Dashboard and carries no label of its own.
Size: Sets the text size of the dashboard. The options are Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, and Huge. The default is Normal. This dropdown sits beside the position dropdown and carries no label of its own.
ALERTS
🔹 What are the Alerts?
The indicator provides nine alert conditions covering confirmation and range breaks, so a trader can be told when a range confirms, what kind of range it is, and which way it eventually left.
🔹 How are the Alerts calculated?
Consolidation Confirmed fires on the bar a range matures, whatever type it was given. Five further conditions cover the individual types, named Clean Coil Confirmed, Choppy Range Confirmed, Directional Pressure Confirmed, Exhaustion Confirmed, and High Effort Balance Confirmed. Each of those fires on the same bar as the general confirmation when the range matched that type. A range carrying a combined label fires the condition for the profile that scored highest, and a range reading Unclear fires the general confirmation only.
Range Break fires on the bar a mature range is broken in either direction, and Range Break Up and Range Break Down split the same moment by side, so a trader can act on one direction alone. All three follow whichever definition is set in Invalidation Method. Developing ranges that are cleared without maturing produce no alert at all.
Conditions are created through the TradingView alert dialog by selecting the indicator and then choosing one from the condition list.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The Volume Balance measurement is an estimate that reads one minute data through a lower timeframe request, and this happens only when the chart timeframe is above one minute, so on a one minute chart and on any chart where one minute data is unavailable for the symbol the estimate is built from the chart candles themselves, and instruments that publish no volume leave the Volume Balance row blank, in which case the measurement is left out of the profile comparison entirely so the gap cannot push the result toward any one type. The comparison pool used for Range Tightness is built from confirmed ranges on the loaded chart and it starts empty, so Range Tightness reports a neutral fifty until the first range has been confirmed and added, the reading becomes more meaningful as the pool grows toward the number set in Comparison Lookback, and loading more chart history fills the pool faster. Every figure in the History by Type section is built from the chart currently loaded, so scrolling back to load more bars, switching timeframe, switching symbol, or changing Expansion Window will rebuild these figures from scratch, while breaks that are still inside their Expansion Window are held and they join the averages once their window has finished. The type recorded for a range is fixed at the moment the range matures and it is measured from the bars available at that point, meaning a range that changes character after it confirms keeps the type it was given. Ranges that are still developing produce no records of any kind, and if a developing range is cleared before it matures its box is removed and nothing is added to the statistics. Turning Mature Boxes off removes the box drawing for mature ranges while the detection, classification, breaks, alerts, and statistics all continue to run, and with that option off no completed box is left on the chart after a break.
UNIQUENESS:
Most consolidation tools answer one question, which is where the range sits, while Consolidation DNA answers that question and then answers a second one, which is what kind of range it is. The classification is built from twelve measurements of the candles inside the range, eleven of which are compared against five reference profiles, and it is reported with a fit percentage and a confidence gap so a trader can see how strong the match is, and when two profiles describe the range almost equally well the indicator displays both names together, while a range that matches nothing closely enough is reported as Unclear. The measurement set itself covers ground that range tools normally leave out, because alongside the expected structural readings of tightness, overlap, and containment, the indicator measures how often candle direction alternates, how wick length is split between the two sides, how average close location sits against the middle of the range, how current volume compares with the window that came before it, and how much directional progress has slowed, while the bullish and bearish volume split is estimated from one minute candles and scaled by how much of each candle's price range overlaps the consolidation, so candles with less price range overlap carry less weight in the balance reading. The indicator also keeps its own record of what happened after each range ended, where travel away from the range is expressed as a multiple of the range height, which makes measurements from a two point range and a two hundred point range directly comparable, and those measurements are grouped by consolidation type to produce a small table describing how each type of consolidation behaved after breaking on the chart in front of the trader. Historical figures are built from finalized candles, while readings on the bar currently forming remain provisional until it closes. Two detection methods are offered so the tool fits different instruments and timeframes, and both feed the same classification and record keeping, while every measurement in the dashboard carries a tooltip explaining what it means and most drawing categories can be turned on or off separately, with developing and detection labels depending on their matching box setting, so the chart can be reduced to boxes alone or expanded to show labels at detection, at maturity, at the break, and at the point of furthest travel. อินดิเคเตอร์
Range Detectorrange detector is built to identify real consolidation zones directly on the chart.
instead of marking every small pause as a range, the tool waits for price to remain contained between two boundaries for a minimum number of bars. the range must stay compact compared to volatility, avoid strong directional expansion, and remain valid until a confirmed breakout or structural widening occurs.
the goal is simple: help traders separate true sideways compression from normal market noise.
what the indicator detects
range detector searches for market areas where price is moving inside a controlled box instead of trending aggressively. a valid range is built from three main conditions:
price must stay contained between a top and bottom boundary
the height of the box must remain reasonable compared to atr
the structure must last long enough to confirm consolidation
once a range is active, the indicator displays:
top of the range
bottom of the range
midline equilibrium
range size classification
breakout markers
dashboard status
range size classification
each range is classified by height using atr units.
small range
medium range
large range
this helps understand whether the market is compressing tightly or building a wider consolidation structure. a tight range can be useful for breakout preparation, while a wider range can be useful for mean reversion, liquidity sweeps, and boundary reactions.
multi-timeframe detection
one of the most important features is the detection timeframe input.
by default, the detection timeframe is empty. this means the indicator uses the current chart timeframe.
for stronger structure, you can select a higher timeframe.
examples:
on a 5 minute chart, set detection timeframe to 1h to see larger intraday ranges
on a 15 minute chart, set detection timeframe to 4h to track stronger session structures
on a 1h chart, set detection timeframe to 1d to follow major daily compression zones
this is useful because a range detected on a higher timeframe is generally more important than a small range detected only on the chart timeframe.
when using mtf, the range engine runs directly on the selected detection timeframe. this means the boxes are not simply visual approximations from the lower timeframe. the range logic is calculated from the chosen timeframe structure.
how to use mtf correctly
for scalping, use a chart timeframe such as 1m, 3m, or 5m, then set the detection timeframe to 15m, 30m, or 1h.
for intraday trading, use a chart timeframe such as 5m, 15m, or 30m, then set the detection timeframe to 1h or 4h.
for swing trading, use a chart timeframe such as 1h or 4h, then set the detection timeframe to daily or weekly.
the higher the detection timeframe, the fewer ranges will appear, but the zones usually become more meaningful.
basic trading workflow
1. choose the chart timeframe
start with the timeframe you trade most often.
scalpers may use 1m to 5m.
intraday traders may use 15m to 1h.
swing traders may use 4h to daily.
2. set the detection timeframe
leave it empty for chart timeframe detection.
select a higher timeframe when you want cleaner and more structural ranges.
3. wait for an active range
when a range appears, price is currently moving inside a consolidation box. the top acts as upper range resistance, the bottom acts as lower range support, and the midline represents equilibrium.
4. study price behavior inside the box
near the top of the range, traders often watch for rejection, failed breakouts, or liquidity sweeps.
near the bottom of the range, traders often watch for absorption, failed breakdowns, or reversal behavior.
near the midline, price is usually less attractive because it is balanced between both sides.
5. wait for breakout confirmation
breakout markers appear only when price closes beyond the range boundary with the selected atr buffer.
a break above the range suggests upside expansion.
a break below the range suggests downside expansion.
the breakout buffer helps reduce false breaks by requiring extra distance beyond the range boundary.
main inputs explained
detection timeframe
selects the timeframe used to detect ranges. leave empty to use the current chart timeframe. use higher timeframes for cleaner structural ranges.
min consolidation bars
sets the minimum number of bars required before a range can be confirmed. higher values create fewer but stronger ranges. lower values make the tool more reactive.
reference atr length
controls the volatility reference used to evaluate range height and breakout buffer. a longer atr length gives a smoother volatility base.
max range height
defines the maximum allowed range height in atr units. if the box becomes too wide, the structure is no longer treated as a clean range.
breakout buffer
adds confirmation beyond the range boundary before a breakout is validated. increasing this value makes breakouts stricter.
small range threshold
defines the maximum atr height for a small range.
medium range threshold
defines the maximum atr height for a medium range. anything above this level is classified as large.
show small, medium, large
allows each range category to be shown or hidden independently.
show midline
displays the equilibrium level of the range.
show range labels
displays the range class and range height directly on the chart.
show breakout markers
displays breakout markers when price confirms an upside or downside break.
show dashboard
shows the live range dashboard.
dashboard position
moves the dashboard to any side or corner of the chart.
dashboard size
changes the text size of the dashboard.
range colors and opacity
each range category can be customized with its own color. fill opacity, border opacity, midline opacity, and label opacity can also be adjusted to match any chart style.
dashboard
the dashboard gives a fast reading of the current market state.
it shows:
active timeframe
current state
range height
top level
midline
bottom level
when no valid range is active, the dashboard shows that the market is trending or that no range is currently detected.
alerts
the indicator includes alerts for:
range started
range break up
range break down
these alerts can be used to monitor new compression zones and confirmed exits from consolidation.
example setups
scalping setup
chart timeframe: 5m
detection timeframe: 1h
min consolidation: 10 to 20 bars
breakout buffer: 0.20 to 0.35 atr
this setup keeps the chart reactive while using stronger higher timeframe structure.
intraday setup
chart timeframe: 15m
detection timeframe: 4h
min consolidation: 10 to 30 bars
breakout buffer: 0.25 to 0.50 atr
this setup is useful for session ranges and larger intraday breakouts.
swing setup
chart timeframe: 1h or 4h
detection timeframe: daily
min consolidation: 10 to 50 bars
breakout buffer: 0.35 to 0.75 atr
this setup focuses on major compression zones before larger directional moves.
practical interpretation
inside the range, the market is balanced.
above the range, buyers are attempting expansion.
below the range, sellers are attempting expansion.
the midline is the equilibrium zone. reactions near the top and bottom are usually more meaningful than signals in the middle.
range detector is not designed to predict direction by itself. it is designed to map consolidation, structure, compression, and breakout conditions so traders can build cleaner decisions around price behavior.
best used with:
market structure
volume analysis
session timing
liquidity sweeps
support and resistance
trend filters
risk management
risk note
no indicator guarantees a winning trade. always use risk management, wait for confirmation, and avoid trading during unclear market conditions.

Strong Range Breakouts | ProjectSyndicateStrong Range Breakouts
Strong Range Breakouts power-ranks the consolidations your market keeps coiling into — and tells you, before the move, which one is loaded and which way it's likely to break. For every tightening range it builds a clean, equal-logic zone, scores that consolidation 0–10 from real, measurable compression quality, and stamps a directional probability on it (▲ likely UP / ▼ likely DOWN). It then projects Buy-Stop / Sell-Stop breakout levels with a buffer and full SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 targets — and tracks every breakout's outcome live in a win-rate dashboard, so the chart is constantly grading its own edge instead of asking you to take it on faith.
🎯 Power-Ranking System (0–10) — every consolidation earns a live grade from five sign-stable, self-calibrating factors: trend flatness (ADX percentile — is the market genuinely going nowhere?), volatility squeeze (Bollinger-width percentile — is range compressing vs its own recent history?), range tightness (N-bar range percentile — how coiled is price?), volume dry-up (low participation = accumulation), and price balance (RSI sitting near 50 = no directional pressure yet). Each factor is a smooth percentile rank, not a crude on/off flag, so the score spreads cleanly across the full 0–10 range and adapts to any instrument with no re-tuning. Prototyped and validated across FX datasets (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF) — higher-scored ranges produced cleaner, higher-win-rate breakouts than low-scored ones, so the number reflects genuine edge, not decoration.
🧭 Directional Probability — each zone carries a live ▲/▼ breakout bias built from where price sits in the range, top-vs-bottom edge-touch asymmetry, time spent in the upper vs lower half, and momentum lean. In validation this prediction landed correct 77–81% of the time vs a 50% coin-flip — so the bias on the box is a real tell, not a guess.
🏷️ Strength-Rank Label Above Every Box — each range carries its grade on top of the zone, impossible to miss: stars · X.X/10 · tier (FORMING → MODERATE → STRONG → VERY STRONG → ELITE) plus the directional bias. Quality and likely direction read instantly, no separate panel needed.
🎨 Direction-Coloured, Strength-Shaded Zones — boxes are tinted by their predicted break direction (bullish-bias teal, bearish-bias red/purple), and the shade deepens with strength tier, so the chart shows which ranges carry weight and which way they lean before you read a single number. The label freezes tinted to the actual break direction once it fires.
🚧 Buy / Sell Stop & SL / TP Levels — dashed Buy-Stop and Sell-Stop lines sit a configurable buffer beyond each range edge to define a genuine breakout. On a fired breakout the indicator projects a structure- or ATR-based Stop-Loss and TP1 / TP2 / TP3 at your chosen R-multiples, framing the trade the moment it triggers.
📊 Live Win-Rate Dashboard — an institutional gold-on-dark panel that tracks outcomes, not just signals: overall win rate (with █░ meter), total breakouts, wins/losses, Long WR vs Short WR, Strong-Zone WR (≥8), TP1/TP2/TP3 hit counts, expectancy (R per trade), total R, best/worst streak, the live zone score meter, and the current breakout bias. You see the system's measured performance on your symbol and timeframe in real time.
🔒 Non-Repainting — all detection and scoring run only on confirmed candles. A zone forms, extends, and breaks on closed-bar logic; once a breakout fires the level and its label lock in and never repaint.
🔔 Native Alerts — fires on a confirmed Buy breakout and Sell breakout, with the zone's score and entry level embedded in the message, so you're notified the instant a graded range gives way.
🔧 Fully Customizable — minimum score to display, minimum/maximum range span, scoring weights for all five factors, breakout confirmation (close vs wick), stop buffer, SL basis (opposite edge / zone mid / ATR), the three R-multiple targets, what counts as a "win" (TP1/2/3), the full institutional colour palette, transparency, label size, and dashboard position/size — all adjustable.
🎯 Why this is different — most "breakout" tools draw a box and fire an arrow the moment price pokes out, with no sense of whether the range was even worth trading or which way it should go. Strong Range Breakouts quantifies the consolidation first, predicts the direction, frames the trade, and then keeps score — so a high-grade zone with a strong bias is one to trade with, and a low-grade or counter-bias break is one to treat with suspicion. The validation behind the score even informs how you trade each one (see below).
🚀 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Silver, Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any intraday or higher timeframe.
🎯 How To Trade It — Quick Overview
The score decides whether a setup is worth taking; the directional bias decides which way; the levels frame the trade. In validation, high-scored ranges broke cleaner and counter-bias breaks failed more often — so play them differently.
1) Trade-With Breakout (the primary play) — use on STRONG / ELITE zones (≥7) that break with their bias
Best when a range is rated STRONG or ELITE and the breakout fires in the same direction the ▲/▼ bias predicted.
Wait for a confirmed close beyond the Buy-Stop (long) or Sell-Stop (short) line — not a single wick.
Confirmation is strongest when the break direction matches the zone's directional bias (the ~77–81% edge).
Entry: on the close beyond the stop level, or on a retest of the broken edge (broken top flips to support; broken bottom flips to resistance).
Stop: the projected SL (opposite range edge / zone mid / ATR — your choice).
Targets: TP1 first (in testing TP1 hit by far the most often — bank or de-risk there), then trail toward TP2 / TP3 as the move extends.
Use the Buy/Sell breakout alert to catch the trigger the moment a graded range gives way.
2) Fade the False Break — use on WEAK / MODERATE zones, or breaks against a strong bias
Best when a low-scored range pokes out, or price breaks opposite to a high-confidence bias — statistically the more likely failure.
Wait for price to push just beyond the range edge and fail to hold (no decisive close beyond, momentum stalling).
Entry: on the reversal back inside the range (a close back through the broken edge).
Stop: just beyond the level that was swept — if price reclaims and holds it, the fade is wrong and it's a real breakout.
Targets: the opposite range edge first, then the measured range height.
Rule of thumb: ⭐ STRONG/ELITE + break with bias → trade the breakout. ⭐ WEAK/MODERATE, or break against a strong bias → suspect a trap, fade it. Let the dashboard win-rate on your symbol tell you which behaviour is paying on the instrument you actually trade.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator power-ranks consolidations, predicts likely breakout direction, and frames breakout-vs-fade scenarios. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades. The dashboard statistics are measured on historical, closed-bar data and describe past behaviour only. Always combine it with your own strategy, price-action analysis, and risk management to confirm setups. Past statistical behaviour does not guarantee future results. อินดิเคเตอร์

Smooths Trend BreakerSmooths Trend Breaker
Overview
Smooths Trend Breaker is a trend identification and entry timing tool that combines an adaptive ATR-based supertrend, a higher timeframe EMA trend filter, volume confirmation, an RSI gate, a price compression range detector, and FVG-gated star candlestick pattern recognition. Each component was chosen to address a specific weakness in standalone supertrend systems — noise in choppy markets, late entries, and signals that contradict the larger trend — and all components work together as a single decision framework rather than as separate overlapping indicators.
Component Methodology
Adaptive Supertrend Engine
The core engine uses an ATR-based supertrend calculation. True Range is computed on each bar as the maximum of the current high-low range, the absolute distance from the prior close to the current high, and the absolute distance from the prior close to the current low. ATR is then derived using Wilder's smoothing method — a modified exponential moving average with a smoothing factor of 1/N — rather than a simple average, which gives more weight to recent volatility while maintaining memory of past conditions.
The upper and lower bands are calculated as the midpoint of the bar's high-low range plus or minus the ATR multiplied by a user-defined multiplier. Bands are then locked directionally — the lower band can only move upward and the upper band can only move downward — preventing the line from retreating when price moves against the trend. The trend direction flips only when a closing price crosses the opposite band, not on intrabar wicks, ensuring signals are close-confirmed.
Rather than using fixed ATR settings across all timeframes, the indicator auto-selects ATR length and multiplier based on the chart's timeframe in seconds. Shorter timeframes receive a shorter ATR period and higher multiplier to account for proportionally larger noise relative to signal. Longer timeframes receive a longer period and lower multiplier to avoid over-sensitivity on slower-moving instruments. This eliminates the need to manually adjust parameters when switching timeframes.
Higher Timeframe EMA Filter
When enabled, the indicator uses `request.security()` to retrieve a 50-period EMA from a higher timeframe selected automatically based on the chart timeframe — for example a 15-minute EMA is referenced when viewing a 5-minute chart, and a 4-hour EMA is referenced when viewing a 1-hour chart. A Buy label is only confirmed when price closes above this EMA and a Sell label is only confirmed when price closes below it, aligning entries with the larger structural trend.
Volume Confirmation
The volume filter computes a 20-bar simple moving average of volume. A signal is confirmed only when the flip bar's volume exceeds this average by a user-defined threshold, defaulting to 1.2 times the average. This filters out supertrend flips that occur on low-participation bars, which have historically higher failure rates.
RSI Gate
A 14-period RSI using Wilder's smoothing is computed on each bar. Buy signals are blocked when RSI exceeds a user-defined overbought level (default 70) and Sell signals are blocked when RSI falls below a user-defined oversold level (default 30). This prevents chasing exhausted moves at extremes.
Range Breaker
The Range Breaker compares the current N-bar rolling range (highest high minus lowest low) against the prior N-bar rolling range from the equivalent lookback window shifted N bars back. When the current range is less than a defined ratio of the prior range — meaning price has compressed significantly relative to its recent volatility — a consolidation zone is declared. Horizontal lines are drawn at the highest high and lowest low of the active zone and extend forward with the current bar. When a closing price breaks outside either level the zone is sealed and a breakout marker fires.
Star Pattern Detection with FVG Gate
Morning Star, Morning Doji Star, Evening Star, and Evening Doji Star patterns are detected using strict 3-candle criteria. The first candle must be a strong directional bar with a body filling at least 50% of its range. The middle candle — the star — must have a body of 25% or less of its range and a total range smaller than 80% of the first candle's body. The confirmation candle must be directionally opposite to the first candle with a body filling at least 40% of its range, closing past the midpoint of the first candle's body.
Additionally, a Fair Value Gap check is applied to the candle immediately before the star. A bearish FVG exists when the high of bar N is below the low of bar N+2, creating a downward price gap. A bullish FVG exists when the low of bar N is above the high of bar N+2, creating an upward price gap. An Inverse FVG check scans back 45 bars for a prior FVG zone whose price range overlaps with the pre-star candle, indicating price has returned to fill an old imbalance. If neither an FVG nor an IFVG is present on the candle before the star, the pattern does not fire regardless of candle structure. This ensures every star signal is anchored to a real price imbalance.
How to Use It
The highest probability setups occur when the supertrend line has already established direction, the range detector is not showing an active chop zone, and a signal fires with volume and HTF agreement. The Range Breaker lines are a caution flag — while they are active and unbroken, the supertrend will produce lower quality signals due to market compression. The star patterns provide a precision entry trigger that can be used to time entries at reversal points, particularly when a star fires near an active Range High or Range Low level.
Trend continuation
Wait for a pullback toward the supertrend line, then enter when the next Buy or Sell label prints in the direction of the established trend.
Breakout entries
When a range zone has been active for several bars and the supertrend is already pointing in one direction, a range breakout marker firing in that same direction is a high-quality entry trigger.
Star entries
A star pattern firing at or near a Range High or Range Low, with the supertrend already in agreement, represents the highest confluence setup available in the indicator.
What to avoid
Do not enter trend signals while a range zone is active with no breakout. Do not take signals that contradict the HTF EMA. Do not enter late into an extended trend where price is far from the supertrend line.
Settings
ATR Length and Multiplier auto-scale by timeframe but can be manually overridden. Volume threshold multiplier defaults to 1.2× the 20-bar average. RSI overbought and oversold levels default to 70 and 30. Range sensitivity has three modes controlling lookback period, compression ratio, and minimum bar count. Past zones to display defaults to 5, maximum 20.

Prior Day Range BoxPrior Day Range Box
Prior Day Range Box plots the previous trading day’s high and low directly on the current chart and displays that range as a visual box with optional reference lines. The script pulls the prior day’s high and low from the daily timeframe, then projects those levels onto the active chart so traders can track how current price behaves around important higher-timeframe levels.
At the start of each new trading day, the indicator creates a new prior day range using the previous day’s high and low. A box can be drawn between those levels to clearly show the full prior day range, while separate horizontal lines mark the prior day high and prior day low. These levels are widely used by intraday traders as key areas for support, resistance, breakout confirmation, rejection, and liquidity interaction.
An optional midpoint line can also be displayed. This line marks the 50% level of the prior day’s range and can serve as an added reference for balance, mean reversion, or directional bias during the session.
The script also includes an optional historical lookback mode. When enabled, it can display prior day range levels from multiple past sessions, making it easier to study how price reacts to historical daily ranges over time. The number of displayed lookback days can be adjusted to fit the user’s preference.
All visual elements are customizable. Users can choose whether to show the range box, enable the midpoint, extend the prior day high and low across the chart, display historical lookback days, and adjust the colors and line width to match their chart setup.
This indicator is designed for traders who use prior day high and low levels as part of their intraday process and want a clean visual framework for tracking previous session range structure on any intraday chart. อินดิเคเตอร์
ORB AM/PM RangeORB — Opening Range Breakout
What does this indicator do?
Think of it like setting a tripwire on the market. Every trading day, the market opens and establishes a range during the first minutes — this is the Opening Range.
ORB watches two windows for you, records the highest and lowest prices within each, and then tells you the moment price breaks out of those levels. That breakout is often the start of a directional move — and that's when you want to pay attention.
Getting Started
Set the Timezone to match your chart's timezone.
What You'll See on the Chart
During the session windows: A teal shaded box appears during the AM session, growing in real-time as the high and low develop. An orange shaded box does the same during the PM session.
After each session ends: Dashed horizontal lines extend to the right from the final High and Low — these are your breakout levels. Price labels appear showing the exact High and Low values.
When price breaks out from the range: A teal triangle (▲ or ▼) appears if price crosses an AM level. An orange triangle (▲ or ▼) appears if price crosses a PM level. These triangles only appear during the valid time window — you won't see stale signals from yesterday's range, and AM signals disappear once the PM session begins.
Settings Explained
Timezone
UTC+1
All session times are interpreted in this timezone. Make sure it matches your exchange.
Enable AM Session
On
Turn this off if you only care about the closing range. Everything AM-related disappears.
AM Session Start
900
When the morning range starts. Enter in HHMM format — so 900 means 09:00.
AM Session End
930
When the morning range locks in. 930 = 09:30.
Enable PM Session
On
Turn this off if you only care about the opening range. Everything PM-related disappears.
PM Session Start
1530
When the closing range starts. 1530 = 15:30.
PM Session End
1600
When the closing range locks in. 1600 = 16:00.
Tip: The time format is simple — just write hours and minutes together. 900 = 09:00, 1345 = 13:45, 1600 = 16:00.
Important: The AM session must end before the PM session starts. If you enter overlapping times, the indicator will show a red error banner at the top of the chart and stop working until you fix it.
When Do Alerts Actually Fire?
This is the most important thing to understand. The indicator is not just checking "did price cross a level?" — it also checks when the cross happens:
09:00 09:30 15:30 16:00 │ AM Box │ AM alerts are valid │ PM Box │ PM alerts are valid │████████│◄─────────────────────────────►│████████│◄─────────────────────► EOD
AM alerts only fire between AM End and PM Start (same day). Once the PM session begins, AM signals shut off.
PM alerts only fire after PM End until the end of the trading day.
Nothing carries over to the next day. Yesterday's levels won't trigger today's alerts.
This means you only get signals when they're fresh and relevant.
Setting Up Alerts in TradingView
Right-click on the chart → Add Alert (or press Alt+A).
Under "Condition", select the ORB30 indicator.
Choose one of these conditions:
ORB Above AM High
- Price broke above the morning range — potential bullish breakout
ORB Below AM Low
- Price broke below the morning range — potential bearish breakout
ORB Above PM High
- Price broke above the closing range — bullish
ORB Below PM Low
- Price broke below the closing range — bearish
Any Range Cross
- Any of the above — good as a catch-all notification
Set your notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.) and click Create.
The alert messages automatically include the ticker symbol and timeframe.
Common Scenarios
"I only trade the morning breakout"
→ Uncheck Enable PM Session. Only AM range boxes, lines, and alerts will appear.
"I trade US markets from Europe"
→ Set Timezone to America/New_York or UTC-5, then adjust the times. For NYSE, try AM Start 930, AM End 1000, PM Start 1530, PM End 1600.
"The dashed lines are too short / too long"
→ Adjust Extend levels (bars). Shorter timeframes need more bars to cover the same time span.
"I see a red error banner"
→ Your session times are invalid. Check that: (1) each Start is before its End, and (2) AM End doesn't overlap with PM Start.
"I don't see any triangles / alerts"
→ Make sure price actually crossed the level during the valid window. If the cross happened during the session itself or after hours, it won't count — by design.

Range Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Range Oscillator (Zeiierman) is a dynamic market oscillator designed to visualize how far the price is trading relative to its equilibrium range. Instead of relying on traditional overbought/oversold thresholds, it uses adaptive range detection and heatmap coloring to reveal where price is trading within a volatility-adjusted band.
The oscillator maps market movement as a heat zone, highlighting when the price approaches the upper or lower range boundaries and signaling potential breakout or mean-reversion conditions.
Highlights
Adaptive range detection based on ATR and weighted price movement.
Heatmap-driven coloring that visualizes volatility pressure and directional bias.
Clear transition zones for detecting trend shifts and equilibrium points.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Detection
The indicator identifies a dynamic price range using two main parameters:
Minimum Range Length: The number of bars required to confirm that a valid range exists.
Range Width Multiplier: Expands or contracts the detected range proportionally to the ATR (Average True Range).
This approach ensures that the oscillator automatically adapts to both trending and ranging markets without manual recalibration.
⚪ Weighted Mean Calculation
Instead of a simple moving average, the script calculates a weighted equilibrium mean based on the size of consecutive candle movements:
Larger price changes are given greater weight, emphasizing recent volatility.
⚪ Oscillator Formula
Once the range and equilibrium mean are defined, the oscillator computes:
Osc = 100 * (Close - Mean) / RangeATR
This normalizes price distance relative to the dynamic range size — producing consistent readings across volatile and quiet periods.
█ Heatmap Logic
The Range Oscillator includes a built-in heatmap engine that color-codes each oscillator value based on recent price interaction intensity:
Strong Bullish Zones: Bright green — price faces little resistance upward.
Weak Bullish Zones: Muted green — uptrend continuation but with minor hesitation.
Transition Zones: Blue — areas of uncertainty or trend shift.
Weak Bearish Zones: Maroon — downtrend pressure but soft momentum.
Strong Bearish Zones: Bright red — strong downside continuation with low resistance.
Each color band adapts dynamically using:
Number of Heat Levels: Controls granularity of the heatmap.
Minimum Touches per Level: Defines how reactive or “sensitive” each color zone is.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend & Momentum Confirmation
When the oscillator stays above +0 with green coloring, it suggests sustained bullish pressure.
Similarly, readings below –0 with red coloring, it suggests sustained bearish pressure.
⚪ Range Breakouts
When the oscillator line breaks above +100 or below –100, the price is exceeding its normal volatility range, often signaling breakout potential or exhaustion extremes.
⚪ Mean Reversion Trades
Look for the oscillator to cross back toward zero after reaching an extreme. These transitions (often marked by blue tones) can identify early reversals or range resets.
⚪ Divergence
Use oscillator peaks and troughs relative to price action to spot hidden strength or weakness before the next move.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of bars needed to confirm a valid range.
Range Width Multiplier: Expands or contracts range width based on ATR.
Number of Heat Levels: Number of gradient bands used in the oscillator.
Minimum Touches per Level: Sensitivity threshold for when a zone becomes “hot.”

█ Overview
The Opening-Range Breakout strategy is a mechanical, session‑based day‑trading system designed to capture the initial burst of directional momentum immediately following the market open. It defines a user‑configurable “opening range” window, measures its high and low boundaries, then places breakout stop orders at those levels once the range closes. Built‑in filters on minimum range width, reward‑to‑risk ratios, and optional reversal logic help refine entries and manage risk dynamically.
█ How It Works
Opening‑Range Formation
Between 9:30–10:15 AM ET (configurable), the script tracks the highest high and lowest low to form the day’s opening range box.
On the first bar after the range window closes, the range high (OR_high) and low (OR_low) are “locked in.”
Range‑Width Filter
To avoid false breakouts in low‑volatility mornings, the range must be at least X% of the current price (default 0.35%).
If the measured opening-range width < minimum threshold, no orders are placed that day.
Entry & Order Placement
Long: a stop‑buy order at the opening‑range high.
Short: a stop‑sell order at the opening‑range low.
Only one side can trigger (or both if reverse logic is enabled after a losing trade).
Risk Management
Once triggered, each trade uses an ATR‑style stop-loss defined as a percentage retracement of the range (default 50% of range width).
Profit target is set at a configurable Reward/Risk Ratio (default 1.1×).
Optional: Reverse on Stop‑Loss – if the initial breakout loses, immediately reverse into the opposite side on the same day.
Session Exit
Any open positions are closed at the end of the regular trading day (default 3:45 PM ET window end, with hard flat at session close).
Visual cues are provided via green (range high) and red (range low) step‑line plots directly on the chart, allowing you to see the range box and breakout triggers in real time.
█ Why It Works
Early Momentum Capture: The first 15 – 60 minutes of trading encapsulate overnight news digestion and institutional order flow, creating a well‑defined volatility “range.”
Mechanical Discipline: Clear, rule‑based entries and exits remove emotional guesswork, ensuring consistency.
Volatility Filtering: By requiring a minimum range width, the system avoids choppy, low‑range days where false breakouts are common.
Dynamic Sizing: Stops and targets scale with the opening range, adapting automatically to each day’s volatility environment.
█ How to Use
Set Your Instruments & Timeframe
-Apply to any futures contract on a 1‑ to 5‑minute chart.
-Ensure chart timezone is set to America/New_York.
Configure Inputs

Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman) is a market structure tool that identifies and tracks periods of price compression by forming adaptive range boxes based on volatility and price movement. When prices remain stable within a defined band, the script dynamically draws a range box; when prices break out of that structure, the box highlights the breakout in real-time.
By combining a volatility-based envelope with a custom weighted centerline, this tool filters out noise and isolates truly stable zones — providing a clean framework for traders who focus on accumulation, distribution, breakout anticipation, and reversion opportunities.
Whether you're range trading, spotting trend consolidations, or looking for volatility contractions before major moves, the Trend Range Detector gives you a mathematically adaptive, visually intuitive structure that maps the heartbeat of the market.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Formation Engine
The core of this indicator revolves around two conditions:
Distance Filter: The maximum distance between all recent closes and a dynamic centerline must remain within a volatility envelope.
Volatility Envelope: Based on an ATR(2000) multiplied by a user-defined factor to account for broader market volatility trends.
If both conditions are satisfied over the most recent length bars, a range box is drawn to visually anchor the zone.
⚪ Dynamic Breakout Coloring
When price breaks out of the top or bottom of the active range box, the box color shifts in real-time:
Blue Boxes represent areas where price has remained within a defined volatility envelope over a sustained number of bars. These zones reflect stable, low-volatility periods, often associated with consolidation, equilibrium, or market indecision.
Green Boxes for bullish breakouts.
Red Boxes for bearish breakdowns.
This allows traders to visually spot transitions from consolidation to expansion phases without relying on lagging signals.
█ Why Use a Weighted Close Instead of SMA?
A standard Simple Moving Average (SMA) treats all past closes equally, which works well in theory, but not in dynamic, fast-shifting markets. In this script, we replace the traditional SMA with a speed-weighted average that reflects how aggressively the market has moved bar-to-bar.
⚪ Here's why it matters:
Bars with higher momentum (larger price differences between closes) are given more weight.
Slow, sideways candles (typical in noise or low volume) contribute less to the calculated centerline.
This method creates a more accurate snapshot of market behavior, especially during volatile phases. As a result, the indicator adapts to market conditions more effectively, helping traders identify real consolidation zones, not just average lines distorted by flat bars or noise.
█ How to Use
⚪ Range Detection
Boxes form only when price remains consistently close to the speed-weighted mean.
Helps identify sideways zones, consolidations, and low-volatility structures where price is “charging up.”
⚪ Breakout Confirmation
Once price exits the top or bottom boundary, the box immediately highlights the direction of the break.
Use this signal in conjunction with your own momentum, volume, or trend filters for higher-confidence trades.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of candles required for a valid range to form.
Range Width Multiplier: Adjusts the envelope around the weighted average using ATR(2000).
Highlight Box Breaks: Enables real-time coloring of breakouts and breakdowns for immediate visual feedback.

Range Breakout [sgbpulse]Range Breakout
1. Overview
The "Range Breakout " indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify and visually display price ranges on your chart using pivot points. It dynamically draws two distinct boxes – an External Range and an Internal Range – helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance zones. Beyond its visual representation, the indicator offers a comprehensive set of 12 unique breakout alerts, providing real-time notifications for significant price movements outside these defined ranges. Additionally, it integrates RSI and MFI metrics for momentum confirmation.
2. How It Works
The indicator operates by identifying pivot points based on user-defined "left" and "right" bar lengths. A high pivot is a bar with a specified number of lower highs both to its left and right, and similarly for a low pivot.
External Range: Calculated using longer pivot lengths (default: 15 bars left, 6 bars right). This range represents broader, more significant price consolidation areas.
Internal Range: Calculated using shorter pivot lengths (default: 4 bars left, 3 bars right). This range captures tighter, more immediate price consolidations within the broader trend.
The External Range will always be greater than or equal to the Internal Range, as it's based on a wider historical context. Both ranges are displayed as transparent boxes on your chart, dynamically adjusting as new pivots are formed.
3. Key Features and Settings
Customizable Pivot Lengths:
External Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for identifying the broader price range. Longer lengths lead to more stable, but less frequent, range updates.
Internal Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for the tighter, more immediate price range.
Tool Tips: Minimum 6 bars for the External Range, and minimum 2 bars for the Internal Range.
Customizable Range Colors: Easily change the background colors of the External and Internal Range boxes to match your chart's aesthetic.
Dynamic Range Display: The indicator automatically updates the range boxes as new pivot highs and lows are formed, always presenting the most current valid ranges.
RSI / MFI Settings:
Timeframe Source: Select the timeframe for RSI and MFI calculation.
- Chart: Calculation based on the current chart timeframe.
- Daily: Always calculated based on the daily ("D") timeframe, even if the chart is on a lower timeframe.
RSI Length: Period length for RSI calculation (default: 14).
RSI Overbought Level: Overbought level for RSI (default: 70.0).
RSI Oversold Level: Oversold level for RSI (default: 30.0).
MFI Length: Period length for MFI calculation (default: 14).
MFI Overbought Level: Overbought level for MFI (default: 80.0).
MFI Oversold Level: Oversold level for MFI (default: 20.0).
4. Synergy of Ranges & Breakout Strength
The interaction between the External and Internal Ranges provides deep insights into price movement and breakout strength:
Immediate Direction: The movement of the Internal Range (up or down) indicates the short-term directional bias within the broader framework of the External Range.
Strength Confirmation: A breakout of the External Range, followed by a breakout of the Internal Range, confirms the strength of the move and increases confidence in the breakout.
Strong Momentum ("Leaving" Ranges Behind): When price breaks out with exceptionally strong momentum, it continues to move aggressively and does not immediately form new pivots. In such situations, the existing ranges (External and Internal) remain in place while the candles "leave them behind." A "Full Candle" breakout, where the entire candle moves past both ranges, indicates a particularly powerful and decisive move.
Momentum (RSI / MFI) as Confirmation:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements. Extreme values (above 70 or below 30) indicate overbought/oversold conditions respectively, confirming strong momentum in a breakout.
- MFI (Money Flow Index): Similar to RSI but incorporates volume. Extreme values (above 80 or below 20) indicate strong money flow in/out, reinforcing breakout confirmation.
- Importance of Confirmation: If a breakout occurs but momentum indicators do not confirm it (for example, an upside breakout while RSI is declining), this could signal weakness in the move and the risk of a false breakout (Fakeout).
5. Visuals
The indicator provides clear visual representations on the chart:
Range Boxes:
Two dynamic boxes are drawn on the chart: one for the External Range and one for the Internal Range.
These boxes update continuously, displaying the current range boundaries based on the latest pivots. They provide an immediate visual indication of support and resistance levels.
RSI/MFI Status Labels:
Small text labels appear to the right of the current bar, vertically centered.
They display the status of RSI and MFI: RSI OB (Overbought), RSI OS (Oversold), MFI OB, MFI OS, along with the exact value.
Important: The labels remain on the chart as long as the condition holds (indicator is above/below the level), unlike alerts which mark a singular crossover event.
Plotting of Key Values:
The indicator plots six invisible series on the chart, primarily to allow the user to view the exact numerical values of:
- The upper and lower bounds of the External Range (External High, External Low).
- The upper and lower bounds of the Internal Range (Internal High, Internal Low).
- The calculated RSI and MFI values (RSI, MFI).
These values are accessible for viewing through TradingView's Data Window and also via the Status Line when hovering over the relevant candle. This enables more precise quantitative analysis of range levels and momentum.
6. Comprehensive Breakout Alerts
The "Range Breakout " indicator provides 12 distinct alert conditions for breakouts, allowing you to select the required level of confirmation for each alert. All alerts are triggered only upon a fully confirmed bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) to minimize false signals and ensure reliability.
All breakout alerts are configured to detect a Crossover/Crossunder of the levels, meaning a specific event where the price moves from one side of the range to the other.
External Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (min of open/close prices) closes above the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the lowest point of the candle) closes above the External Range.
External Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (max of open/close prices) closes below the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the highest point of the candle) closes below the External Range.
Internal Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes above the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes above the Internal Range.
Internal Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes below the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes below the Internal Range.
7. Ideal Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to clearly identify and monitor price consolidation zones.
Seek confirmation for breakout strategies across various timeframes.
Require reliable and automated alerts for potential entry or exit points based on range expansion.
8. Complementary Indicator
For even more comprehensive market analysis, we highly recommend using this indicator in conjunction with Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS .
This powerful complementary indicator automatically and accurately identifies significant support and resistance levels by locating high and low pivot points, as well as key Pre-Market High/Low levels. Its strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and asset, providing precise and relevant real-time levels while maintaining a clean chart. It also identifies Break of Structure (BoS) to signal potential trend changes or continuations.
Using both indicators together provides a robust framework for identifying defined ranges and potential trend shifts, enabling more informed trading decisions.

Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman) is a precision tool for identifying and trading market consolidation zones, where price contracts into tight ranges before significant movement. It provides dynamic range detection using either ADX-based trend strength or volatility compression metrics, and offers built-in take profit and stop loss signals based on breakout dynamics.
Whether you trade breakouts, range reversals, or trend continuation setups, this indicator visualizes the balance between supply and demand with clearly defined mid-bands, breakout zones, and momentum-sensitive TP/SL placements.
█ How It Works
⚪ Multi-Method Range Detection
ADX Mode
Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect low-trend-strength environments. When ADX is below your selected threshold, price is considered to be in consolidation.
Volatility Mode
This mode detects consolidation by identifying periods of volatility compression. It evaluates whether the following metrics are simultaneously below their respective historical rolling averages:
Standard Deviation
Variance
Average True Range (ATR)
⚪ Dynamic Range Band System
Once a range is confirmed, the system builds a dynamic band structure using a volatility-based filter and price-jump logic:
Middle Line (Trend Filter): Reacts to price imbalance using adaptive jump logic.
Upper & Lower Bands: Calculated by expanding from the middle line using a configurable multiplier.
This creates a clean, visual box that reflects current consolidation conditions and adapts as price fluctuates within or escapes the zone.
⚪ SL/TP Signal Engine
On detection of a breakout from the range, the indicator generates up to 3 Take Profit levels and one Stop Loss, based on the breakout direction:
All TP/SL levels are calculated using the filtered base range and multipliers.
Cooldown logic ensures signals are not spammed bar-to-bar.
Entries are visualized with colored lines and labeled levels.
This feature is ideal for traders who want automated risk and reward reference points for range breakout plays.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Traders
Use the SL/TP signals when the price breaks above or below the range bands, especially after extended sideways movement. You can customize how far TP1, TP2, and TP3 sit from the entry using your own risk/reward profile.
⚪ Mean Reversion Traders
Use the bands to locate high-probability reversion zones. These serve as reference zones for scalping or fade entries within stable consolidation phases.
█ Settings
Range Detection Method – Choose between ADX or Volatility compression to define range criteria.
Range Period – Determines how many bars are used to compute trend/volatility.
Range Multiplier – Scales the width of the consolidation zone.
SL/TP System – Optional levels that project TP1/TP2/TP3 and SL from the base price using multipliers.
Cooldown – Prevents repeated SL/TP signals from triggering too frequently.
ADX Threshold & Smoothing – Adjusts sensitivity of trend strength detection.
StdDev / Variance / ATR Multipliers – Fine-tune compression detection logic.

Dynamic Range Filter with Trend Candlesticks (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Dynamic Range Filter with Trend Candlesticks (Zeiierman) is a volatility-responsive trend engine that adapts in real-time to market structure, offering a clean and intelligent visualization of directional bias. It blends dynamic range calculation with customizable smoothing techniques and layered trend confirmation logic, making it ideal for traders who rely on clear trend direction, structural range analysis, and momentum-based candlestick signals.
By measuring scaled volatility over configurable lengths and applying advanced moving average techniques, this indicator filters out market noise while preserving true directional intent. Complementing this, a dual-trend system (range-based and candle-based) enhances clarity and responsiveness, particularly during shifting market conditions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Scaled Volatility Band Calculation
At the core lies a volatility engine that constructs adaptive range bands around price using smoothed high/low calculations. The bands are dynamically adjusted using:
High/Low Smoothing – Applies a moving average to the raw high and low data before calculating the range.
Scaled Range Volatility – A 2.618 multiplier scales the distance between smoothed highs and lows, forming a responsive volatility envelope.
Band Multiplier – Controls how wide the upper/lower range bands extend from the mean.
This filtering process minimizes false signals and highlights only structurally meaningful moves.
⚪ Multi-Type Smoothing Engine
Users can choose from a wide array of smoothing algorithms for trend construction, including:
HMA (default), SMA, EMA, RMA
KAMA – Adapts to market volatility using efficiency ratios.
VIDYA – Momentum-sensitive smoothing using CMO logic.
FRAMA – Dynamically adjusts to fractal dimension in price.
Super Smoother – Ideal for eliminating aliasing in range signals.
This provides the trader with fine-tuned control over reactivity vs. smoothness.
⚪ Trend Detection (Dual Engine)
The indicator includes two independent trend tracking systems:
Main Trend Filter – Based on adaptive volatility band shifts.
Candle Trend Filter – A second-tier confirmation using smoothed candle data, ideal for directional candles and confirmation entries.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Confirmation
Use the Trend Line and colored candlesticks for high-probability entries in the trend direction. The more trend layers that align, the higher the confidence.
⚪ Reversal Zones
When the price reaches the outer bands or fails to break them, look for candle color shifts or a crossover in the range to anticipate possible reversals or consolidations.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the lookback used to stabilize the base volatility band.
MA Type & Length – Choose and fine-tune the smoothing method (HMA, EMA, KAMA, etc.)
High/Low Smoother – Pre-smoothing for structural high/low banding.
Band Multiplier – Adjusts the width of the dynamic bands.
Trend Length (Candles) – Length used for candle-based trend confirmation.

RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman) is a hybrid momentum and volatility visualization tool that blends enhanced RSI interpretation with ADX-driven consolidation detection. This indicator doesn't just show where RSI is trending — it interprets how strong that trend is, when that strength changes, and where the market may be consolidating in anticipation of breakout movement.
Using a combination of Kalman-filtered RSI, custom-built DMI/ADX, and low-volatility zone recognition, it gives traders a dynamic RSI with strength-based coloring, while also highlighting consolidation zones to spot breakout opportunities.
█ Its uniqueness
Traditional RSI indicators lack context. They may show you when the market is overbought or oversold, but they won’t tell you how strong that condition is, or whether it’s likely to result in continuation or consolidation.
This tool aims to solve that by introducing adaptive strength metrics and structural compression zones, allowing traders to anticipate when the market is likely preparing for a move.
█ How It Works
⚪ Enhanced RSI
Combines traditional RSI and a custom RSI implementation
Smooths both through a Kalman filter for trend direction
Final RSI line reflects smoothed consensus between manual and built-in RSI
Adds an RSI + Strength overlay to show when the directional conviction is increasing
⚪ ADX-Driven Strength Layer
Directional Movement Index (DMI) is calculated both manually and with built-in smoothing
The average ADX value is used to calculate a strength modifier
When ADX exceeds 20, RSI is dynamically enhanced or dampened to reflect directional force
Resulting visual: RSI appears stronger or weaker based on confirmed trend conditions
⚪ Consolidation Zone Detection
When ADX falls below 20, the indicator enters a consolidation zone state
Boxes are drawn dynamically to contain the price within these low-volatility structures
Once the price breaks out of the zone, the indicator plots a breakout signal (▲ or ▼)
⚪ Breakouts
Breakout markers are placed at the first close outside the consolidation box
These signals serve as early indicators for potential trend continuation or reversal
█ How to Use
⚪ Confirm Momentum Strength
Use the RSI + Strength line to determine whether current momentum is backed by trend conviction. If strength expands alongside rising RSI, the move has confirmation.
⚪ Consolidations Zones
When RSI is around the midline, and a consolidation box appears, expect lower volatility and a range-bound market, followed by a breakout.
⚪ Use Breakout Signals for Entry
Look for ▲ or ▼ markers as early triggers. These often coincide with volume expansions or structural breaks.
█ Settings Explained
RSI Length – Number of bars used for RSI. Shorter = more sensitive.
DMI Length – Used in both custom and built-in ADX/DI calculations.
ADX Smoothing – Smooths the trend strength signal. Higher values = smoother strength detection.
Trend Confirmation (Filter Strength) – Adjusts the responsiveness of the Kalman filter.

ORB opening range breakoutThis indicator plots the opening range high and low for a selected period of time in minutes after the market opens on an intraday chart to allow the user to visualize the high and low of the opening range for use in the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy.
The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy is a trading approach that involves identifying the price range within the first few minutes of a market session and then waiting for the price to break out of that range. This indicator facilitates this strategy through the use of shaded regions and/or price levels.
Features
Able to plot the high and low for any opening range above 1 min on any intraday timeframe
Fully customizable ORB region, price level, price axis, label
The inclusion of the Bollinger band along with it's Moving Average serves multiple purposes to assist the user in the opening range breakout strategy
Highlights to the user the deviation from the Moving Average due to an opening range breakout so that the user is better informed on whether to avoid entering a position, exit a position, or monitor the situation more closely
Highlights area of support or resistance formed by the Moving Average of Bollinger Band
Inform the user of the current trend direction to serve as confluence during an opening range breakout
What sets this indicator apart from others
In other ORB indicators, the opening range must be a multiple of the current chart's timeframe, restricting users on the intraday timeframes that can be used. E.g. if the user is using the 15 minutes opening range, they are restricted to use the 1, 3, 5, 15 minute(s) chart.
This indicator gives the user the flexibility to set any opening range above 1 min on any intraday timeframe. E.g. if the user is using the 15 minutes opening range, they are free to use any intraday timeframe on their chart, such as 1 hour or 2 hours chart.

ICT Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG🔵 Introduction
Judas Swing is an advanced trading setup designed to identify false price movements early in the trading day. This advanced trading strategy operates on the principle that major market players, or "smart money," drive price in a certain direction during the early hours to mislead smaller traders.
This deceptive movement attracts liquidity at specific levels, allowing larger players to execute primary trades in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the price to return to its true path.
The Judas Swing setup functions within two primary time frames, tailored separately for Forex and Stock markets. In the Forex market, the setup uses the 8:15 to 8:30 AM window to identify the high and low points, followed by the 8:30 to 8:45 AM frame to execute the Judas move and identify the CISD Level break, where Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones are subsequently detected.
In the Stock market, these time frames shift to 9:15 to 9:30 AM for identifying highs and lows and 9:30 to 9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Concepts such as Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) are crucial in this setup. An Order Block represents a chart region with a high volume of buy or sell orders placed by major financial institutions, marking significant levels where price reacts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to areas where price has moved rapidly without balance between supply and demand, highlighting zones of potential price action and future liquidity.

🔵 How to Use
The Judas Swing setup enables traders to pinpoint entry and exit points by utilizing Order Block and FVG concepts, helping them align with liquidity-driven moves orchestrated by smart money. This setup applies two distinct time frames for Forex and Stocks to capture early deceptive movements, offering traders optimized entry or exit moments.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish Judas Swing setup, the first step is to identify High and Low points within the initial time frame. These levels serve as key points where price may react, forming the basis for analyzing the setup and assisting traders in anticipating future market shifts.
In the second time frame, a critical stage of the bullish setup begins. During this phase, the price may create a false break or Fake Break below the low level, a deceptive move by major players to absorb liquidity. This false move often causes smaller traders to enter positions incorrectly. After this fake-out, the price reverses upward, breaking the CISD Level, a critical point in the market structure, signaling a potential bullish trend.
Upon breaking the CISD Level and reversing upward, the indicator identifies both the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Order Block is an area where major players typically place large buy orders, signaling potential price support. Meanwhile, the FVG marks a region of supply-demand imbalance, signaling areas where price might react.
Ultimately, after these key zones are identified, a trader may open a buy position if the price reaches one of these critical areas—Order Block or FVG—and reacts positively. Trading at these levels enhances the chance of success due to liquidity absorption and support from smart money, marking an opportune time for entering a long position.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish Judas Swing setup, analysis begins with marking the High and Low levels in the initial time frame. These levels serve as key zones where price could react, helping to signal possible trend reversals. Identifying these levels is essential for locating significant bearish zones and positioning traders to capitalize on downward movements.
In the second time frame, the primary bearish setup unfolds. During this stage, price may exhibit a Fake Break above the high, causing a brief move upward and misleading smaller traders into incorrect positions. After this false move, the price typically returns downward, breaking the CISD Level—a crucial bearish trend indicator.
With the CISD Level broken and a bearish trend confirmed, the indicator identifies the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Bearish Order Block is a region where smart money places significant sell orders, prompting a negative price reaction. The FVG denotes an area of supply-demand imbalance, signifying potential selling pressure.
When the price reaches one of these critical areas—the Bearish Order Block or FVG—and reacts downward, a trader may initiate a sell position. Entering trades at these levels, due to increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption, offers traders an advantage in profiting from price declines.
🔵 Settings
Market : The indicator allows users to choose between Forex and Stocks, automatically adjusting the time frames for the "Opening Range" and "Trading Permit" accordingly: Forex: 8:15–8:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 8:30–8:45 AM for capturing the Judas move and CISD Level break. Stocks: 9:15–9:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 9:30–9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive."
