RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.

Alans Date Range CalculatorOverview
Setting a date range for backtesting enables you to evaluate your trading strategy under various market conditions. Traders can test a strategy’s performance during specific periods, such as economic downturns, bull markets, or periods of high volatility. This helps assess the trading strategy’s robustness and adaptability across different scenarios.
Specifying years of data instead of just inputting specific start and end dates offers several advantages:
1. **Consistency**: Using a fixed number of years ensures that the testing period is consistent across different strategies or iterations. This makes it easier to compare performance metrics and draw meaningful conclusions.
2. **Flexibility**: Specifying years allows for automatic adjustment of the start date based on the current date or selected end date. This is particularly useful when new data becomes available or when testing on different assets with varying historical data lengths.
3. **Efficiency**: It simplifies updating and retesting strategies. Instead of recalculating specific start dates each time, traders can quickly adjust the number of years to process, making it easier to test strategies over different timeframes.
4. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Broader timeframes defined by years help you evaluate how your strategy performs over multiple market cycles, providing insights into long-term viability and potential weaknesses.
Defining a date range by specifying years allows for more thorough and systematic backtesting, helping traders develop more reliable and effective trading systems.
Alan's Date Range Calculator: A TradingView Pine Script Indicator
Purpose
This Pine Script indicator calculates and displays a date range for backtesting trading strategies. It allows users to specify the number of years to analyze and an end date, then calculates the corresponding start date. Most importantly, users can copy the inputs and function into their own strategies to quickly add a time span feature for backtesting.
Key Features
User-defined input for the number of years to analyze
Customizable end date with a calendar input
Automatic calculation of the start date
Visual display of both start and end dates on the chart
How It Works
User Inputs
Years of Data to Process: An integer input allowing users to specify the number of years for analysis (default: 20, range: 1-100)
End Date: A calendar input for selecting the end date of the analysis period (default: December 31, 2024)
Date Calculation
The script uses a custom function calcStartDate() to determine the start date. It subtracts the specified number of years from the end date's year and sets the start date to January 1st of that year.
Visual Output
The indicator displays two labels on the chart:
Start Date Label: Shows the calculated start date
End Date Label: Displays the user-specified end date
Both labels are positioned horizontally at the bottom of the chart, with the end date label to the right of the start date label.
Applications
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to:
Define specific date ranges for backtesting strategies
Quickly visualize the time span of their analysis
Ensure consistent testing periods across different strategies or assets
Customization
Users can easily adjust the analysis period by changing the number of years or selecting a different end date. This flexibility allows for testing strategies across various market conditions and time frames.
Time Range### Indicator Name: **Time Range**
#### Description:
The **Time Range** indicator allows users to highlight specific time ranges on a chart for each day of the week. It uses customizable time inputs for every day (Monday to Sunday), allowing the user to define trading sessions or any time-based range. These sessions are visualized by shading the background of the chart within the defined periods.
#### Key Features:
- **Custom Sessions**: For each day of the week (Monday to Sunday), the user can define a unique time session by specifying the start time using the input fields.
- **Day-wise Session Activation**: The user can toggle the activation of sessions for each day by using checkboxes. If the session for a particular day is disabled, no background shading will appear for that day.
- **Background Highlighting**: When a session is active, the background of the chart during the specified session period will be shaded in gray with a 70% transparency. This helps the user visually identify active time ranges across multiple days.
#### Use Cases:
- **Highlighting Trading Sessions**: Traders can use this indicator to easily visualize specific market sessions such as the New York or London trading sessions.
- **Visualizing Custom Time Blocks**: Can be used to highlight any custom time blocks that are important for the trader, such as key trading hours, news release periods, or other time-based strategies.
#### Customizable Parameters:
- **Day Toggles**: Checkboxes to activate or deactivate sessions for each day of the week.
- **Time Range Inputs**: Time range inputs allow the user to set start times for each session, which are applied based on the user's selection for the day.
This indicator helps streamline chart analysis by giving clear visual markers for time-based events or trading windows.
ATR Gerchik LightAverage True Range ( ATR ) is a technical analysis indicator that measures volatility in the market. ATR is a moving average of the true range over a period of time.
ATR calculation procedure:
1. Determine the true maximum - this is the highest of the current maximum and yesterday's closing price of the day.
2. Determine the true minimum - this is the smallest of the current minimum and yesterday's closing price.
3. Determine the true range - this is the distance between the true maximum and minimum.
4. We exclude extremely large candles (> x2 ATR) and extremely small ones (< 0.5 ATR) from the obtained true ranges.
5. We calculate the average for the selected period based on the remaining range.
6. We calculate the percentage of the current True Range relative to the average ATR value for the previous period.
Description:
If you analyze it yourself, you will see that 75-80% of the time, the instrument moves only 1 ATR per day. You must understand that if an instrument has, for example, moved 80% of its daily range, it is not advisable to purchase it. This is comparable to a car's fuel tank: if the tank is almost empty, the car won't go far. Most indicators that calculate ATR include anomalous candles, which give unreliable results and lead to incorrect decisions. Because of this, many traders prefer to calculate ATR on their own.
However, the Gerchik ATR indicator accounts for anomalous candles and filters out extremely large candles (> 2x ATR) and extremely small ones (< 0.5x ATR). Additionally, this indicator immediately shows the consumed “fuel” of the instrument as a percentage, so you don't have to calculate the distance traveled yourself. This allows you to make quick, informed decisions. If we see that the tank is almost empty, it is logical not to get into that car today. When building any strategy, you must rely on the average movement.
Key Features:
Anomalous Candle Filtering: Excludes extremely large and small candles to provide more reliable ATR values.
Consumed Fuel Indicator: Shows the percentage of the ATR consumed, helping traders quickly assess the remaining potential movement.
Daily Timeframe Focus: Designed specifically for use on daily charts for accurate long-term analysis.
Practical Applications:
Entry and Exit Points: Use the ATR to determine optimal entry and exit points by assessing market volatility and potential price movement.
Stop-Loss Placement: Calculate stop-loss levels based on ATR to ensure they are placed at appropriate distances, accounting for current market volatility.
Trend Confirmation: Use the percentage of ATR consumed to confirm the strength of a trend and decide whether to enter or exit trades.
Examples of Use:
Trend Following: During strong trends, ATR helps identify periods of increased volatility, signaling potential breakouts or reversals.
Range Trading: In ranging markets, ATR can highlight periods of low volatility, indicating consolidation and potential breakout zones.
Note: The indicator is displayed and works only on the daily timeframe!
The indicator was created according to the instructions, description of the functionality, and strategy of Mr. Gerchik. Thank you so much, Chief!

Average True Range ( ATR , средний истинный диапазон) – это индикатор технического анализа, который измеряет волатильность на рынке. ATR представляет собой скользящее среднее истинного диапазона за определенный период времени.
Порядок расчета ATR:
1. Определяем истинный максимум – это наивысшее из текущего максимума и вчерашней цены закрытия дня.
2. Определяем истинный минимум – это наименьшее из текущего минимума и вчерашней цены закрытия.
3. Определяем истинный диапазон – это расстояние между истинным максимумом и минимумом.
4. Исключаем из полученных истинных диапазонов экстремально большие свечи (> x2 ATR) и экстремально маленькие (< 0.5 ATR).
5. Рассчитываем среднее за выбранный период исходя из оставшегося диапазона.
6 . Рассчитываем процент текущего истинного диапазона (True Range) относительно среднего значения ATR за предыдущий период.
Описание:
Если вы сами проанализируете, то увидите, что 75-80% времени инструмент ходит только 1 ATR. И вы должны понимать, что если инструмент внутри дня прошел, к примеру, 80% своего движения, то этот инструмент больше нельзя покупать. Это можно сравнить с баком машины: если бак почти пустой, машина далеко не уедет. Большинство индикаторов, которые рассчитывают ATR, производят расчет с паранормальными свечами. Это дает недостоверный результат и приводит к неверным решениям. Многие трейдеры из-за этого не используют готовые индикаторы и предпочитают считать ATR самостоятельно. Но индикатор ATR Gerchik учитывает паранормальные свечи и фильтрует экстремально большие свечи (> x2 ATR) и экстремально маленькие (< 0.5 ATR). Также этот индикатор сразу показывает израсходованный "бензин" инструмента в процентах. И вам не надо самостоятельно высчитывать пройденный путь. Вы можете быстро принимать правильные решения. Если мы видим, что бак почти пустой, логично не садиться в эту машину сегодня. Когда вы строите какую-то стратегию, вы должны обязательно полагаться на среднестатистическое движение.
Существует много стратегий, завязанных на ATR, которые учитывают волатильность инструмента, запас хода, точки разворота, места выставления стоп-лоссов (SL) и тейк-профитов (TP) и другие факторы. Я не буду останавливаться на них, так как каждый может найти описание этих стратегий и использовать их на свой выбор.
Индикатор отображается и работает только на дневном таймфрейме!
Индикатор создан по наставлениям, описанию функционала и стратегии господина Герчика. Огромное спасибо, Шеф!
Balance of Force (BOF)The script "Balance of Force" is an indicator that aims to provide insight into the bullish and bearish forces present in the market by analyzing the relationship between bullish and bearish true ranges. The indicator first calculates the bearish and bullish true ranges by taking the absolute difference between the open and close prices for each period and summing these values over a user-specified length. It then calculates the ratio of the bullish true range to the bearish true range and takes the natural logarithm of this value, resulting in the "bullish-bearish ratio".
The script then calculates the standard deviation of this ratio over a user-specified length to create a measure of volatility. Using this deviation and the dominant cycle, it then applies an exponential moving average to smooth the ratio. The indicator plots the smoothed ratio, the raw ratio, and the deviation of the ratio multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 in addition to filling the area between the deviation multiplied by 3 and the log(1) with red and green. The user can use the indicator to identify potential bullish or bearish market conditions by analyzing the relationship between the smoothed ratio and the log(1) and the deviation of the ratio.
Daily/Weekly ExtremesBACKGROUND
This indicator calculates the daily and weekly +-1 standard deviation of the S&P 500 based on 2 methodologies:
1. VIX - Using the market's expectation of forward volatility, one can calculate the daily expectation by dividing the VIX by the square root of 252 (the number of trading days in a year) - also know as the "rule of 16." Similarly, dividing by the square root of 50 will give you the weekly expected range based on the VIX.
2. ATR - We also provide expected weekly and daily ranges based on 5 day/week ATR.
HOW TO USE
- This indicator only has 1 option in the settings: choosing the ATR (default) or the VIX to plot the +-1 standard deviation range.
- This indicator WILL ONLY display these ranges if you are looking at the SPX or ES futures. The ranges will not be displayed if you are looking at any other symbols
- The boundaries displayed on the chart should not be used on their own as bounce/reject levels. They are simply to provide a frame of reference as to where price is trading with respect to the market's implied expectations. It can be used as an indicator to look for signs of reversals on the tape.
- Daily and Weekly extremes are plotted on all time frames (even on lower time frames).
Qullamaggie Daily with ADR% and Compression RangeQullamaggie Daily
This Indicator is a Combination of Moving Averages (Simple and Exponential) as definied from Qullamaggie and used in his TC2000 Setup
Moving Averages:
- The Moving Averages are Guidelines for the current Trend and are not decive for the Entry
- They shall be a quick view and visual assistance to find strong momentum stock that are currently in a Phase of a "Flag Pattern"
ADR% 20 Day:
- Average Daily Range in % should indicate the Momentum of the Stock. It is similar but still works different as the Volalitily indicators.
- A stock is recommend to a have a ADR% above 5-6 to be considered a Momentum Leading Stock.
Consolidation Range:
- This Indicator should help to define Ranges in which the Volumen get compressed(increase) while the price movement is minimal
- A strong breakout is to be expected. The Range should be easier to be identified with this indication.
VWAP Band TrendThis indicator combines two features: VWAP bands for range trading and trends for trend-following.
The white bands offer support/resistance levels ideal for range trading: short when rejecting off the upper band, long when rejecting off the lower. Take profit either when hitting the (faint gray) midline and/or when hitting the band on the far side.
The trend analysis shows green or red ranges above or below the bands to indicate trend strength - larger swaths of green or red indicates strong trend while shorter swathes indicate weak. If the upper trend color doesn't match the lower trend color, the trend is undecided or transitioning.
Optionally, trend initiation indicators can be turned on to show above/below candles where a trend switch is taking place.
Box Range AlertSimple Script for getting alerts on the crossing of Upper & Lower levels either way.
Good for Free users as they can only use 1 alert at a time. So this indicator will be useful to get alerts on both Breakout Or Breakdowns.
Just add input Price manually and set alerts.
Anchored Bollinger Band Range [SS]This is the anchored Bollinger band indicator.
What it does?
The anchored BB indicator:
Takes a user defined range and calculates the Standard Deviation of the entire selected range for the high and low values.
Computes a moving average of the high and low during the selected period (which later becomes the breakout range average)
Anchors to the last high and last low of the period range to add up to 4 standard deviations to the upside and downside, giving you 4 high and low targets.
How can you use it?
The anchored BB indicator has many applicable uses, including
Identifying daily ranges based on premarket trading activity ( see below ):
Finding breakout ranges for intraday pattern setups ( see below ):
Identified pattern of interest:
Applying Anchored BB:
Identifying daily or pattern biases based on the position to the opening breakout range average (blue line). See the examples with explanations:
ex#1:
ex#2:
The Opening Breakout Average
As you saw in the examples above, the blue line represents the opening breakout range average.
This is the average high of the period of interest and the average low of the period of interest.
Price action above this line would be considered Bullish, and Bearish if below.
This also acts as a retracement zone in non-trending markets. For example:
Best Use Cases
Identify breakout ranges for patterns on larger timeframes. For example
This pattern on SPY, if we overlay the Anchored BB:
You want to see it actually breakout from this range and hold to confirm a breakout. Failure to exceed the BB range, means that it is just ranging with no real breakout momentum.
Identify conservative ranges for a specific period in time, for example QQQ:
Worst Use Cases
Using it as a hard and fast support and resistance indicator. This is not what it is for and ranges can be exceeded with momentum. The key is looking for whether ranges are exceeded (i.e. high momentum, thus breakout play) or they are not (thus low volume, rangy).
Using it for longer term outlooks. This is not ideal for long term ranges, as with any Bollinger/standard deviation based approach, it is only responsive to CURRENT PA and cannot forecast FUTURE PA.
User Inputs
The indicator is really straight forward. There are 2 optional inputs and 1 required input.
Period Selection: Required. Selects the period for the indicator to perform the analysis on. You just select it with your mouse on the chart.
Visible MA: Optional. You can choose to have the breakout range moving average visible or not.
Fills: Optional. You can choose to have the fills plotted or not.
And that is the indicator! Very easy to use and hope you enjoy and find it helpful!
As always, safe trades everyone! 🚀
Timed Ranges [mktrader]The Timed Ranges indicator helps visualize price ranges that develop during specific time periods.

Opening Range Gap + Std Dev [starclique]The ICT Opening Range Gap is a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader and is discussed in the videos: 'One Trading Setup For Life' and 2023 ICT Mentorship - Opening Range Gap Repricing Macro
ORGs, or Opening Range Gaps, are gaps that form only on the Regular Trading Hours chart.
The Regular Trading Hours gap occurs between 16:15 PM - 9:29 AM EST (UTC-4)
These times are considered overnight trading, so it is useful to filter the PA (price action) formed there.
The RTH option is only available for futures contracts and continuous futures from CME Group.
To change your chart to RTH, first things first, make sure you’re looking at a futures contract for an asset class, then on the bottom right of your chart, you’ll see ETH (by default) - Click on that, and change it to RTH.
Now your charts are filtering the price action that happened overnight.
To draw out your gap, use the Close of the 4:14 PM candle and the open of the 9:30 AM candle.
How is this concept useful?
Well, It can be used in many ways.

How To Use The ORG
One of the ways you can use the opening range gap is simply as support and resistance
If we extend out the ORG from the example above, we can see that there is a clean retest of the opening range gap high after breaking structure to the upside and showing acceptance outside of the gap after consolidating within it.
The ORG High (4:14 Candle Close in this case) was used as support.
We then see an expansion to the upside.
Another way to implement the ORG is by using it as a draw on liquidity (magnet for price)
In this example, if we looked to the left, there was a huge ORG to the downside, leaving a massive gap.
The market will want to rebalance that gap during the regular trading hours.
The market rallies higher, rejects, comes down to clear the current days ORG low, then closes.
That is one example of how you can combine liquidity & ICT market structure concepts with Opening Range Gaps to create a story in the charts.
Now let’s discuss standard deviations.
---
Standard Deviations
Standard Deviations are essentially projection levels for ranges / POIs (Point of Interests)
By this I mean, if you have a range, and you would like to see where it could potentially expand to, you’d place your fibonacci retracement tool on and high and low of the range, then use extension levels to find specific price points where price might reject from.
Since 0 and 1 are your Range High and Low respectively, your projection levels would be something like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, for the extension from your 1 Fib Level, and -0.5, -1, -1.5, and -2 for your 0 Fib level.
The -1 and 2 level produce a 1:1 projection of your range low and high, meaning, if you expect price to expand as much as it did from the range low to range high, then you can project a -1 and 2 on your Fib, and it would show you what ICT calls “symmetrical price”
Now, how are standard deviations relevant here?
Well, if you’ve been paying attention to ICT’s recent videos, you would’ve caught that he’s recently started using Standard Deviation levels on breakers.
So my brain got going while watching his video on ORGs, and I decided to place the fib on the ORG high and low and see what it’d produce.
The results were very interesting.
Using this same example, if we place our fib on the ORG High and Low, and add some projection levels, we can see that we rejected right at the -2 Standard Deviation Level.
---
You can see that I also marked out the EQ (Equilibrium, 50%, 0.5 of Fib) of the ORG. This is because we can use this level as a take profit level if we’re using an old ORG as our draw.
In days like these, where the gap formed was within a consolidation, and it continued to consolidate within the ORG zone that we extended, we can use the EQ in the same way we’d use an EQ for a range.
If it’s showing acceptance above the EQ, we are bullish, and expect the high of the ORG to be tapped, and vice versa.
---
Using The Indicator
Here’s where our indicator comes in play.
To avoid having to do all this work of zooming in and marking out the close and open of the respective ORG candles, we created the Opening Range Gap + Standard Deviations Indicator, with the help of our dedicated Star Clique coder, a1tmaniac.
With the ORG + STD DEV indicator, you will be able to view ORG’s and their projections on the ETH (Electronic Trading Hours) chart.

Higher Time Frame Average True RangesPurpose: This script will help an options trader asses risk and determine good entry and exit strategies
Background Information: The true range is the greatest of: current high minus the current low; the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close. The Average True Range (ATR) is a 14-day moving average of the true range. Traders use the ATR indicator to assess volatility in stocks and decide when to enter and exit trades. It is important to note the limitations of using True Range and ATR: These indications cannot tell you the direction of your options trade (call vs. put) and they cannot tell you whether a particular trend is about to reverse. However, it can be used to assess if volatility has peaked for a particular direction and time period.
How this script works: This indicator calculates true range for the daily (DTR), weekly (WTR), and monthly (MTR) time frames and compares it to the Average True Range (ATR) for each of those time frames (DATR, WATR, and MATR). The comparison is displayed into a colored table in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. When a daily, weekly, or monthly true range reaches 80% of its respective ATR, the row for that time frame will turn Orange indicating medium risk for staying in the trade. If the true range goes above 100% of the respective ATR, then the row will turn Red indicating high risk for staying in the trade. When the row for a time period turns red, volatility for the time period has likely peaked and traders should heavily consider taking profits. It is important to note these calculations start at different times for each time frame: Daily (Today’s Open), Weekly (Monday’s Open), Monthly (First of the Month’s Open). This means if it’s the 15th of the month then the Monthly True Range is being calculated for the trading days in the first half of the month (approximately 10 trade days).
The script also plots three sets of horizontal dotted lines to visually represent the ATR for each time period. Each set is generated by adding and subtracting the daily, weekly, and monthly ATRs from that time periods open price. For example, the weekly ATR is added and subtracted from Mondays open price to visually represent the true range for that week. The DATR is represented by red lines, the WATR is represented by the green lines, and the MATR is represented by the blue lines. These plots could also be used to assess risk as well.
How to use this script: Use the table to assess risk and determine potential exit strategies (Green=Low Risk, Orange=Medium Risk, Red=High Risk. Use the dotted lines to speculate what a stock’s price could be in a given time period (Daily=Red, Weekly=Green, and Monthly=Blue). And don’t forget the true range’s calculation and plots starts at the beginning of each time period!
Demand VectorCreate lines based on the demand for long/short, extracted from price range.. this lines have nothing to do with volume and liquidity, its just a interpretation of price range.
_CM_BarRange_PercentileI know a Trader that went 18 months without a losing trade. This Trader averaged trading 700-800 contracts per month in the Futures markets.
The was not his only system but here were his rules.
He looked at the 60 minute bar and calculated the ranges of the bars over the last 3 months. IF the range of the Bar was Greater Than the 99th Percentile, He would Fade that move or take the trade in the opposite direction.
Thought process is If the Price Bar is Greater Than the 99th Percentile then typically the market reverses. This happens a lot of times at news events. If you’ve studied the markets long enough you know if a Nes based event causes a Huge Move, which we define as Greater than the 99th Percentile, the Market typically moves in the opposite direction.
***This is dependent on the Instrument your trading and the time frame your trading. Some Instruments and time frames this signals a continuation move.
I also added in the Low of the Range based on the 99th Percentile. Often times Low Range Bars…especially if they appear at the top of a swing move, or the bottom of a swing move…create a high probability entry once the High or Low of the bar is taken out in the opposite direction of the previous move…The Low Range bars show indecision after a strong move and create great reversal opportunities.
Works on All Time Frames…again depending on the instrument your trading.
On instruments that MOVE or have High Volatility like Crude and Oil you can get great signals on 1 minute bars.
***Code includes ability to pick ham many bars you want your Look Back Period To Be.
***You can change the percentages to use the 99th Percentile, or 95th percentile, etc…
***The Green Line is the Value of the High Range Percentile.
***The Red Line is the Value of the Low Range Percentile.
***Plots a Magenta Cross on the Red Line if the Range is Below the Low Range Percentile.
***Plots a yellow Cross on the Green Line if the Range is Greater Than the High Range Percentile.
***The Aqua line is the Midpoint of the Range. Or the Average Price Move.
***Colors the Price Bar Yellow if the Range exceeds the High Range Percentile.
***Colors The Bar Magenta if the Range is Less Than the Low Range Percentile

Candle Range DetectorCandle Range Detector
// Pine Script v6
// Detects candle-based ranges, mitigations, and sweeps with advanced logic
Overview
This indicator automatically detects price ranges based on candle containment, then tracks when those ranges are mitigated (broken) and when a sweep occurs. It is designed for traders who want to identify liquidity events and range breaks with precision.
How It Works
- Range Detection: A range is formed when a candle is fully contained within the previous candle (its high is lower and its low is higher). This marks a potential area of price balance or liquidity.
- Mitigation: A range is considered mitigated when price closes beyond its extension levels (configurable by normal or Fibonacci logic). This signals that the range has been invalidated or "taken out" by price action.
- Sweep Detection: After mitigation, the script watches for a sweep event: a candle that both trades through the range extreme and closes decisively beyond the log-mid of the candle itself. This is a strong sign of a liquidity grab or stop run.
- Alerts & Visuals: You can enable alerts and on-chart labels for sweeps. Only the most recent mitigated range can be swept, and each range can only be swept once.
- Timeframe Sensitivity: On weekly or monthly charts, a candle can both mitigate and sweep a range on the same bar. On lower timeframes, only one event can occur per bar.
Why It Works
- Candle containment is a robust way to identify natural price ranges and liquidity pools, as it reflects where price is consolidating or being absorbed.
- Mitigation marks the moment when a range is no longer defended, often leading to new directional moves.
- Sweeps are powerful signals of stop hunts or liquidity grabs, especially when confirmed by a close beyond the log-mid of the candle, indicating strong intent.
Visual Explanation
Tip: Use this tool to spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones, and to get alerted to key liquidity events in real time.

High and Low in a Given Date/Time RangeThis Pine Script v5 indicator plots horizontal lines at both the highest and lowest price levels reached within a user-defined date/time range.
Description:
Inputs:
The user specifies a start and an end date/time by providing the year, month, day, hour, and minute for each. These inputs are converted into timestamps based on the chart’s timezone.
How It Works:
Timestamp Conversion: The script converts the provided start and end dates/times into timestamps using the chart’s timezone.
Bar Check: It examines every bar and checks if the bar’s timestamp falls between the start and end timestamps.
Price Updates:
If a bar’s time is within the specified range, the indicator updates the highest price if the current bar's high exceeds the previously recorded high, and it updates the lowest price if the current bar's low is lower than the previously recorded low.
Drawing Lines:
A red horizontal line is drawn at the highest price, and a green horizontal line is drawn at the lowest price. Both lines start from the first bar in the range and extend dynamically to the current bar, updating as new high or low values are reached.
End of Range: Once a bar's time exceeds the end timestamp, the lines stop updating.
This tool offers a clear and straightforward way to monitor key price levels during a defined period without any extra fluff.
Relative Strength Index With Range ZoneRSI (Relative Strength Index) with 45-55 Range Zone
1. Introduction and Historical Background
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator developed in 1978 by J. Welles Wilder Jr. It measures the speed and magnitude of price changes to assess overbought and oversold conditions of an asset. This widely used oscillator ranges between 0 and 100.
Historically, the RSI was mainly used to detect trend reversals by identifying extreme levels: above 70 (overbought) and below 30 (oversold). However, its application has evolved, and new approaches refine its interpretation, such as adding a 45-55 neutral zone to identify consolidation (range) periods.
2. RSI Calculation
The RSI is calculated using the following formula:
RSI=100−(1001+RS)RSI=100−(1+RS100)
Where:
RS=Average gain over N periodsAverage loss over N periodsRS=Average loss over N periodsAverage gain over N periods
• RS (Relative Strength) is the ratio between the average gains and the average losses over N periods (typically 14 periods).
• Gains and losses are calculated based on daily price variations.
Example calculation with a 14-day period:
1. Compute daily gains and losses.
2. Take an exponential or simple moving average of these values over 14 days.
3. Apply the formula to get the RSI value.
3. Classic RSI Usage
The RSI is typically interpreted as follows:
• RSI > 70: Overbought → Possible correction or bearish reversal.
• RSI < 30: Oversold → Possible rebound or bullish reversal.
• RSI between 50 and 70: Bullish momentum.
• RSI between 30 and 50: Bearish momentum.
4. Adding the 45-55 Zone to Identify Range Phases
Adding a neutral zone between 45 and 55 helps identify consolidation periods, when price moves sideways without a strong trend.
• RSI between 45 and 55: The market is in a range, meaning neither buyers nor sellers dominate.
• RSI breaking out of this zone:
o Above 55: Indicates the start of a bullish trend.
o Below 45: Indicates the start of a bearish trend.
This zone is particularly useful for:
• Avoiding false signals by waiting for trend confirmation.
• Identifying ranging markets, favoring range trading strategies (buying at support, selling at resistance).
• Filtering trend-based entries, waiting for the RSI to exit the 45-55 zone.
5. Trading Strategies Using RSI with the 45-55 Range Zone
1. Range Trading:
• When the RSI oscillates between 45 and 55, it signals a lack of strong trend.
• Strategy:
o Identify a support and resistance level.
o Buy near support when the RSI touches 45.
o Sell near resistance when the RSI touches 55.
2. Breakout Trading:
• If the RSI exits the 45-55 zone:
o Above 55 → Buy (start of a bullish trend).
o Below 45 → Sell (start of a bearish trend).
• This breakout can be used as a confirmed entry signal.
3. Confirmation with Divergences:
• A bullish divergence (price making lower lows while RSI makes higher lows) is more relevant if the RSI moves above 55.
• A bearish divergence (price making higher highs while RSI makes lower highs) is stronger if the RSI drops below 45.
6. Conclusion
The RSI is a powerful tool for analyzing price momentum. Adding a 45-55 zone enhances its usage by clearly distinguishing:
• Consolidation phases (range markets).
• Trend beginnings when RSI breaks out of this range.
This approach improves RSI reliability by filtering out false signals and allowing traders to adapt their strategy based on market conditions.
