Range breaking indicatorDescription
Bull/Bear Area Ratio (last N candles) helps identify potential end-of-range situations by analyzing the relative strength of bullish vs bearish candles over a rolling window of N bars.
Instead of simply counting up or down candles, this script measures the "area" of each candle — the absolute distance between open and close, optionally weighted by volume.
By summing these areas over the last N bars, it calculates the percentage of bullish and bearish energy within that period.
When both sides become balanced (near 50/50), it often signals range exhaustion or possible trend transition.
How it works
Calculates the bullish and bearish area of each candle (abs(close - open), optionally × volume).
Maintains rolling buffers of the last N bars to compute running totals.
Plots both Bullish % (green) and Bearish % (red).
Highlights possible range-ending zones when the bullish ratio nears 50% ± threshold.
Displays a label showing the current balance.
Includes an alert condition when equilibrium is detected.
Inputs
Number of candles (N) – Rolling window length.
Use volume weighting – Multiplies each candle’s area by its volume.
Balance threshold (%) – Sensitivity for detecting equilibrium (default: 10%).
Best use
Combine with volume or volatility indicators to confirm market compression or expansion.
Use on higher timeframes (H1, H4, D1) to detect early signs of accumulation or distribution.
Works across all asset types: crypto, forex, stocks, indices, etc.
Alerts
An alert is triggered when:
“The range of the last N candles is balanced (possible end of range).”

Range Progress TrackerRANGE PROGRESS TRACKER(RPT)
PURPOSE
This indicator helps traders visually and statistically understand how much of the typical price range (measured by ATR) has already been covered in the current period (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). It includes key features to assist in trend exhaustion analysis, reversal spotting, and smart alerting.
CORE LOGIC
The indicator calculates the current range of the selected time frame (e.g., Daily), which is:
Current Range = High - Low
This is then compared to the ATR (Average True Range) of the same time frame, which represents the average price movement range over a defined period (default is 14).
The comparison is expressed as a percentage, calculated with this formula:
Range % = (Current Range / ATR) × 100
This percentage shows how much of the “average expected move” has already occurred.
WHY IT MATTERS
When the current range approaches or exceeds 100% of ATR, it means the price has already moved as much as it typically does in a full session.
This indicates a lower probability of continuing the trend with a new high or low, especially when the price is already near the session's high or low.
This setup can signal:
A possible consolidation phase
A reversal in trend
The market entering a corrective phase
SMART ALERTS
The indicator can alert you when:
A new high is made after the range percentage exceeds your set threshold.
A new low is made after the range percentage exceeds your set threshold.
You can adjust the Range % Alert Threshold in the settings to tailor it to your trading style.
Range Filter x Hull SuiteRange Filter x Hull Suite
This indicator is a hybrid of two popular indicators, with a twist; namely the Range Filter (Guikroth version) and the Hull Suite (by Insilico) .
Originally developed as a 1 minute trend following strategy and traded during the New York Session for it's typically high volume / likely trending nature, it provides entry signals based on the following logic:
For bullish entry signals:
The first bullish* candle (*defined by the Range Filter bar color logic, blue by default - which is not necessarily technically a bullish candle as defined by the OHLC values) which appears after the consolidation candles (also defined by the Range Filter bar color logic, orange by default), and where the Hull Suite moving average is also bullish.
For bearish entry signals:
The first bearish* candle (*defined by the Range Filter bar color logic, red by default - which is not necessarily technically a bearish candle as defined by the OHLC values) which appears after the consolidation candles (also defined by the Range Filter bar color logic, orange by default), and where the Hull Suite moving average is also bearish.
The indicator aims to filter out signals where possible consolidation is occurring and comes with styling options and alternative filter options such as a triple moving average trend detection method. Signals can also be filtered by a specific trading session. Standard options for the Range Filter and Hull Suite settings are also able to be customised within the settings menu.
Alerts
Various alerts are built-in, including the custom entry signals unique to this strategy.
Note : The above features listed above are accurate at the time of publishing, but may be altered in future.
Many thanks to guikroth & Insilico for sharing their open source indicators, and also to the original developer of the strategy itself for sharing it.
Range Candles - JDThis tool takes a "RANGE" chart and transforms it into "NORMAL" or "HEIKEN-ASHI" candles.
Instantly giving you a much better visual interpretation of the "range" information!!!
NOTE: due to the nature of Pinescript and how range charts are constructed it's possible the candles are not formed on every tick!!!
When formed though, they don't repaint and are calculated differently for every bar so you get approximately the most accurate view at the price action that Tradingview can offer you!
For compasrison:
this is a view of the "1 minute" chart:
this is the normal "1 range" chart without the candles
this is the same "1 range" chart with Heiken-Ashi candles
this is the normal "1000 range" chart (+/- equal to the 1 minute) without the candles
this is the same "1000 range" chart with Heiken-Ashi candles

Range Tightening Indicator (RTI)The Range Tightening Indicator (RTI) quantifies price volatility relative to recent price action, helping traders identify low-volatility consolidations that often precede breakouts.
Range Tightening is calculated by measuring the range between each bar’s high and low prices over a chosen lookback period.
A 5-bar period is recommended for shorter-term momentum setups and a 15-bar period is recommended for swing trading. An option for a custom period is available to suit specific strategies. The default look back for custom is 50, ideal for longer term traders.
Other Key Features:
Dynamic Color Coding: The RTI line turns green when volatility doubles after a drop to or below 20, flagging significant volatility shifts commonly seen before breakouts.
Low-Volatility Dots: Orange dots appear on the RTI line when two or more consecutive bars show RTI values below 20, visually marking extended low-volatility periods.
Volatility Zones: Shaded zones provide quick context:
Zone 1 (0-5): Extremely tight volatility, shown in red.
Zone 2 (5-10): Low volatility, shown in light green.
Zone 3 (10-15): Moderate low volatility, shown in green.
The RTI indicator is ideal for traders looking to anticipate breakout conditions, with features that highlight consolidation phases, support momentum strategies, and help improve entry timing by focusing on shifts in volatility.
This indicator was inspired after Deepvue's RMV Indicator, but uses a different calculation. Results may vary.
Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) [LuxAlgo]The Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) is a novel indicator highlighting trending/ranging intrabar candles and providing signals when the price breaks the extremities of a ranging intrabar candles.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator highlights candles with trending intrabar prices, with uptrending candles being highlighted in green, and down-trending candles being highlighted in red.
This highlighting is affected by the selected intrabar timeframe, with a lower timeframe returning a more precise estimation of a candle trending/ranging state.
When a candle intrabar prices are ranging the body of the candle is hidden from the chart, and one upper & lower extremities are displayed, the upper extremity is equal to the candle high and the lower extremity to the candle low. Price breaking one of these extremities generates a signal.
The indicator comes with two modes, "Trend Following" and "Reversal", these modes determine the extremities that need to be broken in order to return a signal. The "Trend Following" mode as its name suggests will provide trend-following signals, while "Reversal" will aim at providing early signals suggesting a potential reversal.
🔶 DETAILS
To determine if intrabar prices are trending or ranging we calculate the r-squared of the intrabar data, if the r-squared is above 0.5 it would suggest that lower time frame prices are trending, else ranging.
This approach allows almost obtaining a "settings" free indicator, which is uncommon. The intrabar timeframe setting only controls the intrabar precision, with a timeframe significantly lower than the chart timeframe returning more intrabar data as a result, this however might not necessarily affect the displayed information by the indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Intrabar Timeframe: Timeframe used to retrieve the intrabar data within a chart candle. Must be lower than the user chart timeframe.
Auto: Select the intrabar timeframe automatically. This setting is more adapted to intraday charts.
Mode: Signal generation mode.
Filter Out Successive Signals: Allows removing successive signals of the same type, returning a more easily readable chart.

Smart Ranges📌 Indicator Name
Smart Ranges – High, Mid & Low Zone Indicator
🎯 Purpose of the Indicator
The Ranges indicator automatically identifies and visualizes High Range, Mid Range, and Low Range price zones based on recent market structure.
It helps traders:
Identify premium (high) and discount (low) price areas
Understand where price is trading relative to its recent range
Improve decision-making for entries, exits, and risk management
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Logic)
The indicator looks back over a fixed number of candles (default: 130).
It calculates:
Highest High → High Range
Lowest Low → Low Range
Midpoint → Mid Range
These levels are projected forward into future candles to act as reference zones.
A small ATR-based buffer is used to create slim, clean zone boxes instead of thick bands.
📊 Zones Explained
🟣 High Range (Premium Zone)
Based on the highest price in the lookback period
Represents a premium or upper extreme
Often used for:
Profit-taking
Short setups
Watching for reversals
⚪ Mid Range (Equilibrium Zone)
The average between high and low range
Acts as a balance or decision area
Price often reacts here before choosing direction
🟢 Low Range (Discount Zone)
Based on the lowest price in the lookback period
Represents a discount or lower extreme
Often used for:
Long setups
Accumulation areas
Bounce or reversal zones
📐 Inputs & Settings
Zone Lookback Length
Controls how many past candles are used to calculate ranges
(Default: 130)
Zone Forward Extension
Determines how far the zones project into the future
(Default: 30)
Zone Colors
Customize colors for High, Mid, and Low ranges
EMA 15 (Optional)
A short-term EMA can be displayed for trend context
(Disabled by default)
🧭 How to Use the Indicator
Add the indicator to your chart
Observe where price is trading:
Near Low Range → Discount area
Near Mid Range → Neutral / balance
Near High Range → Premium area
Use the zones as context, not signals:
Combine with price action
Use with trend, structure, or volume tools
Best results come when aligned with:
Higher timeframe bias
Market structure
Session behavior
🧪 Example
If price moves into the High Range zone after a strong rally, it may signal:
Reduced upside potential
Possible consolidation or reversal
If price enters the Low Range zone, it may indicate:
Discount pricing
Potential long opportunities (with confirmation)
⚠️ Important Notes & Limitations
This indicator does not repaint once the zone is drawn
Zones update only on the last bar
Should not be used as a standalone trading system
Always use proper risk management

Predictive Ranges [LuxAlgo]The Predictive Ranges indicator aims to efficiently predict future trading ranges in real-time, providing multiple effective support & resistance levels as well as indications of the current trend direction.
Predictive Ranges was a premium feature originally released by LuxAlgo in 2020.
The feature was discontinued & made legacy, however, due to its popularity and reproduction attempts, we deemed it necessary to release it open source to the community.
🔶 USAGE
The primary purpose of this indicator is to provide potential support & resistance levels on the chart by estimating future trading ranges.
When the price reaches one of the upper/lower levels of the Predictive Ranges we can expect the price to reverse.
If the price exits the predicted range, new levels are given in real-time & they do not repaint. Higher "Factor" values allow returning longer term and wider ranges less susceptible to be exited.
🔹 Estimating Trend Directions
Users are able to easily estimate trend directions by looking at the central levels of the predictive ranges, which represent an estimate of the price central tendency.
If this central level increases it means the price is up-trending, if it is decreasing price is down-trending.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: ATR Length used for the indicator calculation. Higher values will tend to return ranges of equal width.
Factor: Control the ranges width. Higher values will return less frequent ranges, each having a higher width.
Timeframe: Indicator timeframe output.
Source: Input source of the indicator. It is recommended to use input sources on the same scale as the price.
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.

Custom Range Creator + Normalized Oscillators (Obv, Rsi, Mfi) Hello Traders!
Custom Range Creator is a specialized trading tool designed for traders who incorporate range analysis into their trading strategy.
Once you set the desired number of past candles or provide a manual input, the indicator will automatically draw a range for you. This unique feature allows you to customize the range based on the highest and lowest points within a specified number of bars, known as the "Dynamic Range." Furthermore, you have the flexibility to define up to three additional ranges manually using custom inputs. The lines and labels associated with these ranges can be fully customized in terms of style, color, and width to align with your personal preferences.
Dynamic Range Capabilities:
The indicator automatically generates a range by default, identifying the highest and lowest points within the last 200 bars. However, you have the ability to define the number of bars back by adjusting the setting in the menu. Moreover you can define the range based on either the wicks or the bodies of the candles.
The range includes the following components:
☀ Range High: The highest price point within the selected number of bars in the past
☀ Range Low: The lowest price point within the selected number of bars in the past
☀ Range Mid-Point: The calculated middle value between the Range High and Range Low
☀ First Quartile (Q1): The midpoint between the Range Low and the Range Mid-Point, effectively identifying the 25% level within the range
☀ Third Quartile (Q3): The midpoint between the Range Mid-Point and the Range High, identifying the 75% level within the range
By incorporating these critical levels within a price range, our Dynamic Range provides you with a comprehensive view of how the market evolves, enabling you to make more informed trading decisions.
Manual Ranges Capabilities:
In addition to the Dynamic Range, you can manually define up to three more ranges. By specifying your desired high and low price values as inputs, the system automatically draws the range based on your inputs. Once drawn, you can further adjust the range using the bar offset option, which allows you to shift the entire range backward or forward by a specified number of bars.
Each manually defined range includes the following components:
☀ Range High: Your user-defined highest price point
☀ Range Low: Your user-defined lowest price point
☀ Range Mid-Point: The calculated middle value between the Range High and Range Low
☀ First Quartile (Q1): The midpoint between the Range Low and the Range Mid-Point, identifying the 25% level within the range
☀ Third Quartile (Q3): The midpoint between the Range Mid-Point and the Range High, identifying the 75% level within the range
This allows you to precisely define your desired price range and visually represent it on the chart. The customizable manual ranges provide you with a powerful tool for analyzing price dynamics and identifying potential support and resistance levels.
Both Dynamic Range and Manual Ranges Capabilities:
a) Timeframe-Adaptive: This indicator dynamically adjusts to your selected timeframe. Whether you are a day trader or a long-term investor, this tool adapts to meet your needs.
b) Complete Customization: You have the flexibility to customize every aspect of "Custom Range Indicator". You can modify the color, style, and width of each of the five lines to seamlessly integrate them into your chart setup. Choose from various line styles, including solid, dashed, or dotted, and select colors that suit your visual preferences. Additionally, you can customize the color and text of the labels. Additionally, you can utilize the bar offset option to fine-tune the placement of the range within your analysis.
c) Hide Lines and Labels: You have the option to hide each line or label of the range individually, or hide the entire range with labels or without labels. This customization feature allows you to focus on specific aspects of the chart and declutter the visual representation of the ranges when needed.
Normalized Oscillators
Normalization is a process applied in data handling and statistics, and in the context of trading indicators, it can be incredibly useful. Trading indicators such as Volume, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the Money Flow Index (MFI), and On Balance Volume (OBV), often vary in their range and scale.
Normalization adjusts these values to fit within a specific range, making different indicators directly comparable and aiding in the interpretation of their relationship and impact on price action. This can offer additional insights for traders, making it easier to identify trends, patterns, and potential trading signals across different indicators.
This indicator offers a selection of three oscillators to normalize and Volume Data:
☀Volume: The amount of a particular asset that is traded within a particular period.
☀Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in a market.
☀Money Flow Index (MFI): A momentum indicator that uses price and volume data to identify overbought or oversold signals in an asset.
☀On Balance Volume (OBV): A technical trading momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in price. It does this by cumulatively adding volume on days when the price increases, and subtracting volume on days when the price decreases.
This script also offers aesthetic customizations for the plot, which can enhance readability and visual appeal:
✔"Plot Color": This input lets users select the color of the plotted line on the chart, allowing for personalization and better visual differentiation when multiple indicators are used.
✔"Plot Width": Users can also adjust the thickness of the plotted line, enhancing visibility based on individual preference or screen resolution.
Why is useful the Normalization?
Normalization plays a crucial role in trading as it helps bring together diverse sets of information to support more informed decision-making. For instance, observing the correlation between the price chart and oscillators like On Balance Volume (OBV) near range levels can provide valuable insights.
Consider this example using a daily (1D) Ethereum (ETH) chart:
We observe that the price is at a Range Quarter, making a higher high while the OBV makes a higher low. This scenario presents a significant degree of confluence. The price is at a critical range level and there is a bearish divergence between the OBV and the price. Such confluence often indicates a potential shift in market dynamics, and as observed, the price trends lower subsequently.
Below is the same scenario represented on a linear chart, providing a clearer visualization:
Normalization enables us to make these comparisons more accurately, ultimately leading to more reliable trading signals and better trading outcomes. By adjusting the scale of various indicators to a standard range, traders can directly compare and correlate them to price action, making it easier to spot trends, divergences, and other key market patterns.
Keep attention!
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.

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.
