Trading Range Detector - [GonzaCam]Strict Market Structure
This indicator provides a highly disciplined approach to identifying Market Structure, Swing Points, and Trading Ranges. Unlike standard fractal indicators that simply look for high/low wicks, this script enforces a "Strict" set of rules combining Fractal Geometry, Candle Color, and Close Prices to filter out noise and identify high-probability structure levels.
It is designed for traders who need precise structural mapping (BOS) and want to avoid the "fake-outs" common with standard swing indicators.
Key Features
Strict Swing Detection : A 3-candle pattern is only valid if it meets three specific criteria:
Wick Fractal: The middle candle has the highest high (for Swing Highs) or lowest low (for Swing Lows).
Close Price Fractal: The Body (Close) of the middle candle must also be the highest/lowest of the pattern, preventing weak "wick-only" pivots.
Color Logic: Enforces specific color flows (e.g., Green → Red for tops) to ensure momentum has actually shifted.
Smart Range Tracking:
Active Range: Shows the current trading range (Top and Bottom) with thick, solid lines.
Historical Structure: Automatically archives broken levels as thin, dashed lines, creating a clean history of market structure.
"True Peak" Logic: When a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs, the script enters a "Seeking" phase. It intelligently tracks the Highest High (in a bearish break) or Lowest Low (in a bullish break) to ensure the new range is drawn from the true pivot, not just the first confirmed swing.
How It Works
1. Swing High Definition
A valid Swing High is confirmed when a 3-candle cluster appears with:
Middle Candle: Green Body.
Right Candle: Red Body.
Geometry: Middle Wick High > Left & Right Wicks AND Middle Close > Left & Right Closes.
Confirmation: Price must subsequently close below the low of the middle candle.
2. Swing Low Definition
A valid Swing Low is confirmed when a 3-candle cluster appears with:
Middle Candle: Red Body.
Right Candle: Green Body.
Geometry: Middle Wick Low < Left & Right Wicks AND Middle Close < Left & Right Closes.
Confirmation: Price must subsequently close above the high of the middle candle.
3. Range & BOS Logic
Break of Structure (BOS): Triggered when a candle closes outside the current Range Top or Bottom.
Seeking Phase: After a BOS, the script waits for a new opposing swing to form.
Example: If the market breaks UP (Bullish BOS), the script searches for the next confirmed Swing High.
Optimization: While seeking, it continuously updates to the Highest High reached, ensuring the Range Top is set at the absolute peak of the move.
Settings & Customization
Current Range Style: Customize the Color, Width, and Style (Solid/Dotted) of the active range lines.
Historical Swings Style: Customize the appearance of past structure levels to distinguish them from active price action.
