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!

Taylor True Ranges - deviationsDescription:
The Taylor True Ranges - Deviations indicator in Pine Script 5.0 computes various price levels and averages based on Taylor's trading principles. It provides insights into potential buying and selling opportunities by analyzing deviations from average price movements. The indicator calculates and visualizes critical levels such as Decline Average, Buying Under Average, Pivot Brake Sell, Rally Average, Buying High Average, and Pivot Brake Buy. These levels are derived from historical price data and help traders identify key support and resistance zones, trend reversals, and breakout points.
Key Features:
Taylor's Trading Principles: The indicator implements Taylor's methodology to analyze price movements and identify trading opportunities based on deviations from average ranges.
Multiple Price Levels: It calculates and displays various price levels, including Decline Average, Buying Under Average, Pivot Brake Sell, Rally Average, Buying High Average, and Pivot Brake Buy.
Customizable Visualization: Traders can customize the visualization by toggling the display of individual price levels and adjusting the appearance settings such as line style, color, and text size.
Daily Lookback: The indicator supports a customizable daily lookback period, allowing traders to analyze historical price movements over a specified timeframe.
Usage:
Apply the Taylor True Ranges - Deviations indicator to your chart to analyze deviations from average price movements and identify potential trading opportunities.
Customize the indicator settings, including the daily lookback period, line style, color, and text size, to suit your trading preferences and analysis requirements.
Use the calculated price levels and averages as part of your technical analysis to make informed trading decisions, including identifying support and resistance levels, trend reversals, and breakout points.
Example:
Traders can use the Taylor True Ranges - Deviations indicator to analyze deviations from average price movements and identify key support and resistance levels. For instance, observing a Pivot Brake Sell level crossing above the current price might indicate a potential selling opportunity, while a Pivot Brake Buy level crossing below the price could signal a buying opportunity.
itradesize /\ IPDA Look Back - for any timeframeThe script automatically calculates the 20-40-60 look-back periods and their premium and discount ranges.
The base concept is from ICT’s IPDA which should be applied to the daily timeframe but now you can use that same concept on the lower timeframes .
The higher the timeframes you use the more reliable it will be ( when we are talking about lower timeframes than Daily ).
- With the use of the indicator you can apply it on any timeframe with ease.
- You can customize the coloring of premium & discount, frame lines, and even the look of it.
- Hide or show the EQ levels
Below the IPDA texts the indicator shows the actual percentage of the selected range based on the current price fluctuations.
The script handles the 20-40-60 days look-back as fractals so it can be applied on lower timeframes.
The basics:
- The Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA): The algorithm creates a shift on the daily chart every 20, 40, and 60 trading days.
- These are the IPDA look-back periods. Every 20 trading days or so there is a new liquidity pool forming on both sides of the market based on ICT concepts.
- Determine the IPDA Data Range of the land 20 trading days.
- Note the highest high & lowest low in the past 20 trading days. Identify the institutional order flow and mark the relevant PD arrays in the selected IPDA look-back period we deemed useful for our trading style.
- This is your current dealing range.
- If the price consolidates for 20 days, consider switching to a 40-day look back.
Inside this dealing range, we look for the next draw on liquidity. Is it reaching for a liquidity pool or is it looking to rebalance at a particular PD Array. This is going to the Bias.
Which IPDA data range should you use?
IPDA20 can be our Short Term range - fit for intraday traders at most
IPDA40 can be our Swing Trade range - have a clear indication of the market profile
IPDA60 can be our range for position trading - have a clear indication of the market profile
blackOrb PriceblackOrb's Aspiration: Enhancing the Functionality of Area Charts
At its core, an area chart analysis serves as the foundational structure for blackOrb Price. Area charts can be seen as an addition to conventional price charts. Unlike price line charts, which connect closing prices with lines, an area chart fills the space between high and low prices, creating a visual representation of price ranges. This approach can offer several advantages, particularly in assessing price volatility and price dynamics.
A wider area between high and low suggests high volatility, while a narrower area indicates lower volatility. The orientation of the closing price concerning the high-low range provides insights into whether buyers or sellers are exerting influence on the market.
Combined with the following elements, this chart tool can support comprehensive data-driven trading analysis:
- Integrated moving averages for price dynamic insights
- Zigzag pivot identification for price level insights
- Stochastic lookback analysis for turning point insights
- Ghost mode for comparative insights
Technical Methodology
I. Integrated Moving Averages for Price Dynamic Insights
Incorporating various MA alternatives allows traders to gain insights into not only price dynamics but also their underlying strength, which is reflected in trading activity. This strength is visually depicted by the derived price line within blackOrb's Price Area Chart.
Among the array of MA alternatives, VWMA stands out as a suitable implementation choice for integrating volume data. It goes beyond the scope of a simple moving average, considering both price and volume in its calculation, as shown in the following formula:
(C1 x V1 + C2 x V2 + ... + CN x Vn) / (V1 + V2 + ... + Vn)
II. Zigzag Pivot Identification for Price Level Insights
Zigzag Pivot Identification can be a valuable tool for recognizing possible price movements and potential turning points. It operates by pinpointing pivotal moments where prices alter their course. Essential components of this method involve comparing time units both to the left and right within a designated price dynamic phase, effectively defining the search range for pivotal points.
For instance, in the analysis below, the search is for the highest price point that hasn't been surpassed in the last 10 time units to the left and 10 time units to the right:
ta.pivothigh(10, 10)
The lookback variables analyze price points by simultaneously examining a specified number of time units before and after a potential pivot point as the central reference. A pivot is identified when a price point remains unbreached throughout this period.
Note: This method retroactively validates structures, implying that this tool may redraw or adjust its values as price data evolves. This leads to inconsistency and a lack of predictability.
III. Stochastic Lookback Analysis for Turning Point Insights
The stochastic calculation methodology of this feature centers around the following formula:
100 * (close - lowest(low, length)) / (highest(high, length) - lowest(low, length))
This key formula employs a stochastic calculation methodology that assesses the percentage deviation of the closing price from the lowest low over a specified timeframe (length), relative to the span between the highest high and the lowest low. The outcome is normalized within a range of 0 to 100, providing insights into the relative position of the closing price within the high-low range. Traders can define the specific periods over which the stochastic calculation is performed.
Based on this stochastic analysis, the indicator integrates area chart coloring, affording users the flexibility to adjust the sensitivity of area chart coloring according to customized stochastic look-back evaluation phases. Consequently, the coloration by length evaluation can mirror a comprehension of market dynamics.
Note: However, it's important to recognize that the efficacy of evaluation coloring might be compromised during periods of lateral price movement, characterized by less prominent market trends.
IV. Ghost Mode for Comparative Insights
Unveiling convergences and divergences, the Ghost Mode overlays two price charts, which can reveal price trajectories and reactions (e.g. Apple stock's potential response to the NASDAQ 100 Technology Sector Index).
Note: This approach may not capture nuanced correlations during intricate market scenarios.
Note on Usability
This tool is an intricately designed area chart, meticulously created to serve as a fundamental canvas for the seamless integration of other more granular trading indicators.
blackOrb Price can have synergies with blackOrb Candle as both indicators combined can give a bigger picture for supporting comprehensive and multifaceted data-driven trading analysis.
This indicator isn't intended for standalone trading application. Instead, it offers an alternative approach to traditional area charts, serving as a supplementary tool for orientation within broader trading strategies. Irrespective of market conditions, it can harmonize with a wider range of trading styles and instruments/trading pairs/indices like Stocks, Gold, EURUSDSPX500, GBPUSD, BTCUSD and Oil.
Inspiration and Publishing
Taking genesis from the inspirations amongst others provided by TradingView Pine Script Wizard Kodify, blackOrb Price is a multi-encompassing script meticulously forged from scratch. It aspires to furnish a comprehensive area chart approach, borne out of personal experiences and a strong dedication in supporting the trading community. We eagerly await valuable feedback to refine and further enhance this tool.
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.
Ultimate Grid Tool + Alerts (DCA & Limit Orders) [enzedengineer]Overview
The "Ultimate Grid Tool + Alerts" script works much like a grid bot from automated trading services such as 3Commas making it a good free alternative with some extra utility.
How it works
The user is prompted to set up a grid by manually defining a lower and upper range and then by selecting how many grid segments they want (max 20). The script will automatically create equally spaced grids within this defined range. The script has built in alerts which are intended to be used in conjunction with a third-party application to execute buy and sell orders on an exchange.
The script has two alert functionalities to choose between:
Limit orders (like traditional grid bots) or;
DCA zones (time-based)
DCA zones:
This is the default selection. Each zone has its own alert condition which is triggered if the price closes within that zone. The frequency of the alert is determined by the user's chart resolution, therefore you can have the alert trigger every day, or 4 hours, or 30 minutes and so on. This allows for flexibility, for example, you could go from DCA'ing at $20 per day at higher prices to $100 per day as the price drops into the lower end of your grid range.
Limit orders:
This mode is selected by checking the "Limit Order" box. As mentioned earlier, this mode works like traditional grid bots with each grid line representing a limit order. The alert condition is met when ta.cross(close, gridline) = true.
Buy and Sell:
This mode is selected by checking the "Buy and Sell" box. This is a visual modification only which changes the colour of the grids to help plan the user's trading. Please note, there is no buying or selling logic within the script itself - this should be built into the alert message to be used with a third-party application for exchange order execution.
Use case: The author of this script has been using it with the default settings to DCA into Bitcoin in the current bear market. Using a chart resolution of 15 minutes the script purchases x-amount of Bitcoin every 15 minutes (Alertatron executes the exchange orders). This method provides a well blended average price and takes away the internal conundrum of "should I buy some today". No matter what, the bot will make a purchase within at least 15 minutes of the ultimate Bitcoin bottom and arguably this gives a psychological edge and reduces FOMO (fear of missing out).
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.
Consolidation Zone Hunter NPR BasedThis script will search for zones where the range between the high and low is lower than avg % nearest rank of last X bars.
After X(=30) bars of consolidating range it will signal that the market is in a range and draw the top, bottom and middle of that range.
When price breaks the consolidating range the range is cleared, this is where you long/short the breakout. After this it will look for the next range and do the same.
Visual Explanation
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! 🚀
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.
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges - Mxwll CapitalIntroducing: Mxwll Liquidation Ranges
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges gathers data outside of TradingView to provide the highest quality, highest accuracy liquidation levels and ranges for popular crypto currencies.
Features
Real liquidation ranges and levels calculated outside of TradingView.
Real net position delta
Average leverage for long positions
Average leverage for short positions
Real number of bids for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real number of asks for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real Bid/Ask Ratio
Real Bid/Ask Delta
Real number of long market orders
Real number of short market orders
Real number of long limit orders
Real number of short limit orders
How do we obtain this data?
Using a now deprecated feature called "TradingView Pine Seeds", we are able to calculate the metrics listed above outside of TradingView and, consequently, import the data to TradingView for public use.
This means no indicators on TradingView that attempt to show liquidation levels, limit orders, net position delta, etc. can be as accurate as ours.
Why aren't other liquidation ranges indicators on TradingView as accurate as ours?
Simple: the data required to calculate liquidation levels and ranges isn't available on TradingView. No level 2 data, bids, asks, leverage information, pending limit orders, etc. This means any custom-coded indicator on TradingView attempting to use or show this information is just a guess, and is naturally inaccurate.
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges has access to all of the required data outside of TradingView, to which liquidation levels/ranges and other pertinent metrics are calculated and uploaded directly to TradingView using the Pine Seeds feature. This means that all information displayed by our indicator uses legitimate level 2 data outside of TradingView. Which means no "estimates" are required to produce this information. Consequently, unless a custom-coded indicator has access to the Pine Seeds feature and calculates liquidation levels and other level 2 data metrics outside of TradingView, then that indicator is inaccurate.
Liquidation Heatmap
The above image shows our liquidation heatmaps, which are calculated using level 2 data, in action.
Liquidation ranges are color coded. Purple/blue colored ranges indicate a lower number of net liquidations should the range be violated.
Green/yellow ranges indicate a liquidation range where the net number of liquidated positions, should the price range be violated, is substantial. Expect volatile price action around these areas and plan accordingly.
Yellow labels indicate the four highest liquidation ranges for the asset over the period.
Liquidation Levels
In addition to calculating a liquidation heatmap, Mxwll Liquidation Ranges also calculates liquidation levels by leverage. Level 2 data outside of TradingView is used.
Levels are colored coded by leverage used.
Green levels are 25x leverage liquidation areas.
Purple levels are 50x leverage liquidation areas.
Orange levels are 100x leverage liquidation areas.
Use this information to improve your trading plan and better pinpoint entries, exits, and key levels of expected volatility.
Other Metrics
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges uses level 2 data and the orderbook to calculate various metrics.
Average leverage for long positions
Average leverage for short positions
Real number of bids for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real number of asks for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real Bid/Ask Ratio
Real Bid/Ask Delta
Real number of long market orders
Real number of short market orders
Real number of long limit orders
Real number of short limit orders
How To Use
Understanding and interpreting heatmaps for predicting liquidation levels in trading can provide a significant edge. Here’s a basic guide on how to interpret these charts:
Understanding Liquidation Levels: Liquidation levels indicate where traders who are using leverage might be forced to exit their positions due to insufficient margin to cover their trades. These levels are crucial because they can trigger sudden price movements if many positions are liquidated at once.
Clusters on the Heatmap: On the heatmap, clusters of liquidation levels are represented by color-coded areas. These clusters show where significant numbers of leveraged positions are concentrated. The color intensity often indicates the density of liquidation points – darker or brighter colors suggest higher concentrations of liquidation risks.
Price Movements: By knowing where these clusters are, traders can anticipate potential price movements. For example, if a significant price drop moves the market closer to a cluster of liquidation levels, there’s an increased risk of those levels being triggered, potentially causing a sharp further drop due to cascading liquidations.
Strategic Trading: With this information, traders can strategically place their own stop losses or prepare to enter trades. Knowing where others might be forced to close their positions can help in predicting bullish or bearish movements.
Risk Management: Understanding liquidation levels helps in managing your own risk. Setting stop losses away from common liquidation points can avoid being caught in volatile price swings caused by mass liquidations.

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.

True Range OscHey fellow traders! I've just published a new indicator called the True Range Oscillator. It's designed to help you better understand price movements and volatility. The indicator calculates the average true range of the price data and uses a modified z-score-like approach to normalize it. The main difference is that it uses true range instead of standard deviation for normalization.
This oscillator identifies the highest and lowest values within a specified range, excluding any outliers based on standard deviations. It then scales the output between 0 and 100, so you can easily see how the current price action compares to its historical range. You can use the True Range Oscillator to spot potential trend reversals and overbought/oversold conditions.
Here are some features to explore:
Customize your price data source (open, high, low, or close).
Adjust the length and smoothing settings for the average true range calculation.
Find outliers with standard deviations, and tweak the outlier_level and dev_lookback options.
Visualize price action with plotted lines for the upper range (70), lower range (30), and center line (50), along with a shaded area between the upper and lower ranges for added clarity.
I hope you find this indicator useful in your trading journey!
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!
Litt Opening Range BreakoutThe Litt ORB, Opening Range Breakout, is a tool used by many intraday traders to take advantage of short-term momentum. This script plots extensions based on the opening range and then color candles depending on where the closing price of that candle is. The opening range is defined by either the first 30 or 60 minutes of a new trading day. During that time the opening ranges are set. If the opening range time has passed and we start to break above the Opening Range High that is a good indication that a Trend Day to the upside could be forming. When a stock takes out the range high from the first 30 or 60 minutes this is called an Opening Range Breakout.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
You can see the ORH and ORL (Opening Range) lines on the chart. The other lines are extension lines from the Opening Range. These are used as price targets for the end of Opening Range breakouts.
The candles are colored as follows.
If we are above the ORH then we use Bull Color 1.
If we are below the ORL then we use Bull Color 2.
If we are above the ORM, Opening Range Mid or the halfway point between the ORH and the ORL, we color Bull Color 2.
If we are below the ORM then we color Bear Color 2.
If the current time is still within the Opening Range then we color the Opening Range Color.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
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
***All parameters can be turned on or off via Check Boxes in the Inputs Tab
