OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
sideways market for strangle

This Pine Script is designed to identify **sideways or range-bound markets**, which are often ideal conditions for trading **options strangle strategies**. Here's a breakdown of what the script does:
---
### 🛠 **Purpose:**
To **detect low-volatility, sideways market conditions** where price is not trending strongly in either direction — suitable for **neutral options strategies like short strangles**.
---
### 📌 **Key Components:**
#### 1. **Inputs:**
- `RSI Length`: Default 14 — used for calculating the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
- `ADX Length`: Default 14 — used for calculating the Average Directional Index (ADX), DI+ (positive directional movement), and DI- (negative directional movement).
#### 2. **RSI Calculation:**
- `rsiValue` is calculated using the built-in `ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)`.
- A **sideways market** is expected when RSI is in the **40–60 range**, indicating lack of strong momentum.
#### 3. **ADX and Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-):**
- `diPlus` and `diMinus` are calculated based on recent price movements and the True Range.
- `dx` (Directional Index) measures the strength of trend direction using the difference between DI+ and DI-.
- `adx` is a smoothed version of `dx` and represents **overall trend strength**.
#### 4. **Sideways Market Conditions:**
- **RSI Condition**: RSI is between 40 and 60.
- **ADX Condition**:
- `adx <= 25` → Weak or no trend.
- `adx < diPlus` and `adx < diMinus` → Confirms ADX is lower than directional components, reducing likelihood of a trending market.
#### 5. **Signal Plot:**
- A **green label below the bar** (`shape.labelup`) is plotted when both conditions are met.
- Indicates potential sideways market conditions.

### ✅ **Use Case:**
- This signal can help identify **low-volatility zones** suitable for **short strangles** or **iron condors**, where you profit from time decay while expecting the price to stay within a range.
