Volatility Range Breakout Strategy [wbburgin]The "Volatility Range Breakout Strategy" uses deviations of high-low volatility to determine bullish and bearish breakouts.
HOW IT WORKS
The volatility function uses the high-low range of a lookback period, divided by the average of that range, to determine the likelihood that price will break in a specific direction.
High and low ranges are determined by the relative volatility compared to the current closing price. The high range, for example, is the (volatility * close) added to the close, the low range is this value subtracted by the close.
A volatility-weighted moving average is taken of these high and low ranges to form high and low bands.
Finally, breakouts are identified once the price closes above or below these bands. An upwards breakout (bullish) occurs when the price breaks above the upper band, while a downwards breakout (bearish) occurs when the price breaks below the lower band. Positions can be closed either by when the price falls out of its current band ("Range Crossover" in settings under 'Exit Type') or when the price falls below or above the volatility MA (default because this allows us to catch trends for longer).
INPUTS/SETTINGS
The AVERAGE LENGTH is the period for the volatility MA and the weighted volatility bands.
The VOLATILITY LENGTH is how far the lookback should be for highs/lows for the volatility calculation.

ATR+ Advanced Sessions ATR for DaterangeATR+ Advanced Sessions ATR for Daterange
The ATR+ adds the following additional filters to the stock ATR indicator by Tradingview:
- Calculates the overall average ATR for a user defined daterange, optionally filtered by trading session and selected weekdays, presented as a secondary line over the standard ATR line.
- Basic ATR line, with colour highlight to indicate the selected sessions, days and timeframe being calculated by the average ATR+ line.
- Average ATR+ line indicating the average of all ATRs within the defined timeframe, optionally filtered by instances of a selected trading session and selected weekdays.
- Customisable appearance.
- The ATR+ also includes the basic ATR configuration options typically found in the standard ATR by Tradingview, including period length and smoothing type. Defaults are set to the factory standards: 14 length, RMA smoothing type.
What Is the Average True Range (ATR)?
The ATR is a technical analysis tool that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range asset price for that period. Investopedia describes the ATR as follows:
"The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges."
For more information on the ATR and its calculations and use cases, see here:
Investopedia link here.
Tradingview link here.
Note
The indicator may time out if the number of bars being calculated is too long. If this happens, you will need to reduce the datetime range, or increase the chart timeframe in order to reduce the number of bars being calculated and the indicator will attempt to recalculate.
Dual Fibonacci Zone & Ranged Vol DCA Strategy - R3c0nTraderWhat does this do?
This is for educational purposes and allows one to backtest two Fibonacci Zones simultaneously. This also includes an option for Ranged Volume as a parameter.
Pre-requisites:
First off, this is a Long only strategy as I wrote it with DCA in mind. It cannot be used for shorting. Shorting defeats the purpose of a DCA bot which has a goal that is Long a position not Short a position. If you want to short, there are plenty of free scripts out there that do this.
You must have some base knowledge or experience with Fibonacci trading, understanding what is ADX, +DI (and -DI), etc.
You can use this script without a 3Commas account and see how 3Commas DCA Bot would perform. However, I highly recommend inexperienced uses get a free account and going through the tutorials, FAQ's and knowledgebase. This would give you a base understanding of the settings you will see in this strategy and why you will need to know them. Only then should you try testing this strategy with a paper bot.
Background
After I had created and released "Fibonacci Zone DCA Strategy", I began expanding and testing other ideas.
The first idea was to add Ranged Volume to the Fibonacci Zone DCA strategy which I wanted for providing further confirmation before entering a trade. The second idea was to add a second Fibonacci Zone that was just as configurable as the first Fibonacci Zone. I managed to add both and they can be easily enabled or disabled via the strategy settings menu.
Things Got Real Interesting
Things got real interesting when I started testing strategies with two Fibonacci zones. Here's a quick list of what I found I was able to do:
Mix and match exit strategies. I could set the Fib-1 zone strategy to exit with a take profit % and separately set the Fib-2 zone strategy to exit when the price crosses the top-high fib border
Trade the trend. A common phrase amongst traders is "the Trend is your friend" and with the help of an additional Fib Zone, I was able to trade the trend more often by using two different Fib Zone strategies which if configured properly can shorten time to re-deploy capital, increase number of closed trades, and in some cases increase net profit.
Trade both bull market uptrends and bear market downtrends in the same strategy. I found I could configure one Fib Zone strategy to be really good in uptrends and another Fib Zone strategy to be really good in downtrends. In some cases, with both Fib Zone strategies enabled together in a single strategy I got better results than if the strategies were backtested separately.
There are many other trade strategies I am finding with this. One could be to trade a convergence or divergence of the two different Fib Zones. This could possibly be achieved by setting one strategy to have different Fibonacci length.

Rescaled RangeRescaled Range is an implementation of the fractal rescaled ranges developed by Harold Edwin Hurst and Benoit Mandlebrot.
Settings include:
“Window Size” - the number of time periods in a window over which price changes are analyzed. This will generally correspond to your trading horizon and defaults to 15.
“Number of Windows” - the number of “Window Size” intervals to average the rescaled range value over. By looking at a number of such periods, the study captures potential volatility that may have occurred in the recent past. This should be set long enough to capture the current trend (defaults to 63), but not so long to include volatility regimes no longer in play.
Each window in the average is offset by 1 time period from the the others - like a moving average.
This study plots two lines - “Rescaled Range High” which indicates overbought conditions when the price moves above it and “Rescaled Range Low” which indicates oversold conditions when the price moves below it.
This study builds upon the bridge range work of Joe Catanzaro (joecat808) and Caleb Sandfort (calebsandfort). Bridge ranges are used to position the rescaled range with respect to the closing price.
Note: Your time series must have (Window Size + Number of Windows) or more periods of data to complete this study. For example, using the defaults, your time series should have (15+63) = 78 periods or more of data.

Volume Range EventsChanges in the feelings (positive, negative, neutral) in the market concerning the valuation of an instrument are often preceded with sudden outbursts of buying and selling frenzies. The aim of this indicator is to report such outbursts. We can see them as expansions of volume, sometimes 10 times more than usual. and as extensions of the trading range, also sometimes 10 times more than usual (e.g. usual range is 10 cent suddenly a whole dollar.) The changes are calculated in such a way that these fit between plus and minus 100 percent, the bars are scaled in some sort of logarithmic way. The Emoline is the same as the one in the True Balance of Power indicator, which I already published
ONLY RISES ARE EVENTS
Sometimes analysts are tempted to give meaning to low volume or small ranges. These simply mean that the market has little interest in trading this instrument. I believe that in such cases the trader needs to wait for expansion and extension events to happen, then he can make a better guess of where the market is heading. As events often mark the beginning or ending of a trend, this indicator provides an early and clear signal, because it doesn’t bother us about non-events.
WHAT IS USUAL?
If the algorithm would use an average as a normal to scale volume or range events, then previous peaks will act as spoilers by making the average so high that a following peak is scaled too small. I developed a function, usual() , that kicks out all extremes of a ‘population of values’ and which returns the average of the non-extreme values. It can be called with any serial. This function is called by both algorithms that report volume and range peaks, which guarantees that the results are really comparable. As this function has a fixed look back of 8 periods, we might state that ‘usual’ is a short lived relative value. I think this doesn’t matter for the practical use of the indicator.
COLORING AND INTERPRETATION
I follow the categories in the ‘Better Volume Indicator’, published by LeazyBear, these are:
1. Climactic Volumes, event >40 % (this means peak is 1.5 X usual)
LIME: Climax Buying Volume, direction up, range event also > 30 %
RED: Climax Selling Volume, direction down, range event also > 30 %
AQUA: Climax Churning Volume, both directions, range event < 30%
2. Smaller Volumes, event <40 %
GREEN: Supportive Volume, both directions, if combined with range event
BLUE: Churning Volume, both directions, if not combined with range event (Professional Trading)
3. Just Range Events

5-Minute Opening Range Breakout (ORB) - NY Session IndicatorThis TradingView indicator identifies and plots the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) based on the first 5-minute candle of the New York trading session.
Key Features:
Automatic Detection: Automatically detects the NY session open (default 9:30 AM ET, fully customizable) and captures the high/low of the first 5-minute bar
Multi-Timeframe Support: Works on any chart timeframe (1-min, 3-min, 15-min, etc.) by requesting 5-minute data
Dynamic Price Targets: Calculates both bullish (above ORB high) and bearish (below ORB low) price targets based on the opening range size
Configurable Targets: Set up to 10 price target levels on each side, with targets spaced proportionally to the ORB range
Extended Lines: All lines automatically extend ahead of the current bar by a configurable number of minutes for better forward visibility
Price Labels: Optional price labels display exact values at the end of each level
Midpoint Line: Optional dashed midpoint line shows the center of the opening range
Custom Styling: Fully customizable colors and transparency for all lines and labels
How It Works:
The indicator measures the distance between the ORB high and midpoint, then projects additional targets at equal intervals above the high (bullish targets in green) and below the low (bearish targets in red).
Why Use a 5-Minute ORB?
Tighter Range: The 5-minute opening range is typically smaller than the 15-minute range, providing more precise entry and exit levels
Earlier Signals: Breakouts are identified sooner, allowing for faster reaction times
Scalping-Friendly: Ideal for day traders and scalpers who prefer shorter timeframes and quicker price movements
Higher Probability Zones: The narrower range often creates more reliable support/resistance levels for intraday trading
Best Practices:
Works best on liquid instruments with high volume during NY session open
Combine with volume analysis to confirm breakout validity
Consider using the first target as a take-profit level for quick scalps
Watch for false breakouts within the first 15-30 minutes of the session
ADR - Average Daily Range [KasTrades]This is an Average Daily Range (ADR) indicator.

Two Look back period ADR range (e.g. 7 and 14 days)
One Look back period ADR (e.g. 5 days only)
Two day ADR ranges are typically used in equities and index futures whereas one day ADR is typically used in forex.
The opening time by default is 17:00 New York (Eastern) time. The ranges are always calculated from the opening price of the first bar on the respected timeframe.
Monday's Range Superpowerkyu🔔 Settings
You can customize the colors and toggle ON/OFF in the indicator settings.
Works on daily, hourly, and minute charts.
Easily visualize Monday’s high, low, and mid-line range.
📌 1. Support & Resistance with Monday’s Range
Monday High: Acts as the first resistance of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks above Monday’s high after Tuesday, it signals potential bullish continuation → long setup.
Monday Low: Acts as the first support of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks below Monday’s low, it signals bearish continuation → short setup.
📌 2. Mid-Line Trend Confirmation
Monday Mid-Line = average price of Monday.
Price above mid-line → bullish bias.
Price below mid-line → bearish bias.
Use mid-line breaks as entry confirmation for long/short positions.
📌 3. Breakout Strategy
Break of Monday’s High = bullish breakout → long entry.
Break of Monday’s Low = bearish breakout → short entry.
Place stop-loss inside Monday’s range for a conservative approach.
📌 4. False Breakout Strategy
If price breaks Monday’s high/low but then falls back inside Monday’s range, it is a False Breakout.
Strategy: Trade in the opposite direction.
◽ False Breakout at High → short.
◽ False Breakout at Low → long.
Stop-loss at the wick (extreme point) of the failed breakout.
📌 5. Range-Based Scalping
Use Monday’s high and low as a trading range.
Sell near Monday’s High, buy near Monday’s Low, repeat until breakout occurs.
📌 6. Weekly Volatility Forecast
Narrow Monday range → higher chance of strong trend later in the week.
Wide Monday range → lower volatility expected during the week.
📌 7. Pattern & Trend Analysis within Monday Range
Look for candlestick patterns around Monday’s High/Low/Mid-Line.
◽ Example: Double Top near Monday’s High = short setup.
◽ Repeated bounce at Mid-Line = strong long opportunity.
✅ Summary
The Monday’s Range (Superpowerkyu) Indicator helps traders:
Identify weekly support & resistance
Confirm trend direction with Mid-Line
Trade breakouts & false breakouts
Apply range scalping strategies
Forecast weekly volatility
⚡ Especially, the False Breakout strategy is powerful as it captures failed moves and sudden sentiment reversals.
Objective Doji Highlight (Range-Relative)This indicator highlights Doji candles using an objective, mathematics-based rule: a bar is Doji when the absolute difference between its open and close is less than or equal to a user-defined fraction (x) of that bar’s high–low range.
How it works:
Compute body size as the absolute difference between open and close.
Compute the bar’s range as high minus low.
Classify as Doji when body size ≤ x × range.
Only Doji candles are colored; non-Doji bars remain unchanged.
Inputs
Doji threshold (x of range): tolerance (0–1) controlling how small the body must be relative to the range.
Doji Candle Color: visual color for detected Doji candles.
Example:
If x = 0.10 and a candle has high = 100 and low = 90 (range = 10), the maximum allowed body is 1.
If the difference between open and close is ≤ 1, the candle is marked as Doji.
Why it can be useful
Doji candles are often studied as signs of market indecision. This tool provides a clear, parameter-based way to identify them consistently across any timeframe, without discretionary interpretation.
Notes & limitations
Works with standard candlesticks (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other synthetic bar types).
Visualization and research only: it does not produce buy/sell signals and makes no performance claims.
No repainting from future data; the logic uses only the current bar’s prices.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.
Open Range Breakout Strategy With Multi TakeProfitHello everyone,
For a while, I’ve been wanting to develop new scripts, but I couldn’t decide what to create. Eventually, I came up with the idea of coding traditional and well-known trading strategies—while adding modern features such as multi–take profit options. For the first strategy in this series, I chose the Open Range Strategy .
For those unfamiliar with it, the Open Range Strategy is a trading approach where you define a specific time period at the beginning of a trading session—such as the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour—and mark the highest and lowest prices within that range. These levels then act as reference points for potential breakouts: if the price breaks above the range, it may signal a long entry; if it breaks below, it may indicate a short entry. This method is popular among day traders for capturing early momentum in the market.
Since this strategy is generally used as an intraday strategy , I added a Trade Session feature. This allows you to define the exact time window during which trades can be opened. Once the session ends, all positions are automatically closed, ensuring trades remain within your chosen intraday period.
Even though it’s a relatively simple concept, I’ve come across many different variations of it. That’s why I created a highly customizable project. Under the Session Settings, you can select the time window you want to define as your range. Whether it’s the first 15-minute candle or the entire first hour, the choice is entirely yours.
For stop-loss placement, there are two different options:
Middle of the Range – The stop loss is placed at the midpoint between the high and low of the defined range, offering a balanced buffer for both bullish and bearish setups.
Top/Bottom of the Range – The stop loss is placed just beyond the range’s high for short trades or just below the range’s low for long trades, providing a more conservative risk approach.
I’ve always been a big fan of the multi take-profit feature, so I added two different take-profit targets to this project. Take profits are calculated based on a Risk-to-Reward Ratio, which you can adjust in the settings. You can also set different position sizes for each target, allowing you to scale out of trades in a way that suits your strategy.
The result is a flexible, user-friendly strategy script that brings together a classic approach with modern risk management tools—ready to be tailored to your trading style
NFP RangesPlots the NFP daily ranges for NFP days. Includes extended hours ranges when the time frame is sub 1D, otherwise, only the daily range is taken.
NFP Dates are pre-populated through 2029 and historically through 2022. Will update script to include farther-out dates before they become necessary.
Euclidean Range [InvestorUnknown]The Euclidean Range indicator visualizes price deviation from a moving average using a geometric concept Euclidean distance. It helps traders identify trend strength, volatility shifts, and potential overextensions in price behavior.
Euclidean Distance
Euclidean distance is a fundamental concept in geometry and machine learning. It measures the "straight-line distance" between two points in space. In time series analysis, it can be used to measure how far one sequence deviates from another over a fixed window.
euclidean_distance(src, ref, len) =>
var float sum_sq_diff = na
sum_sq_diff := 0.0
for i = 0 to len - 1
diff = src - ref
sum_sq_diff += diff * diff
math.sqrt(sum_sq_diff)
In this script, we calculate the Euclidean distance between the price (source) and a smoothed average (reference) over a user-defined window. This gives us a single scalar that reflects the overall divergence between price and trend.
How It Works
Moving Average Calculation: You can choose between SMA, EMA, or HMA as your reference line. This becomes the "baseline" against which the actual price is compared.
Distance Band Construction: The Euclidean distance between the price and the reference is calculated over the Window Length. This value is then added to and subtracted from the average to form dynamic upper and lower bands, visually framing the range of deviation.
Distance Ratios and Z-Scores: Two distance ratios are computed: dist_r = distance / price (sensitivity to volatility); dist_v = price / distance (sensitivity to compression or low-volatility states)
Both ratios are normalized using a Z-score to standardize their behavior and allow for easier interpretation across different assets and timeframes.
Z-Score Plots: Z_r (white line) highlights instances of high volatility or strong price deviation; Z_v (red line) highlights low volatility or compressed price ranges.
Background Highlighting (Optional): When Z_v is dominant and increasing, the background is colored using a gradient. This signals a possible build-up in low volatility, which may precede a breakout.
Use Cases
Detect volatile expansions and calm compression zones.
Identify mean reversion setups when price returns to the average.
Anticipate breakout conditions by observing rising Z_v values.
Use dynamic distance bands as adaptive support/resistance zones.
Notes
The indicator is best used with liquid assets and medium-to-long windows.
Background coloring helps visually filter for squeeze setups.

Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.
Gold ORB Strategy (15-min Range, 5-min Entry)The Gold ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Strategy is designed for day traders looking to capitalize on the price action in the early part of the trading day, specifically using a 15-minute range for identifying the opening range and a 5-minute timeframe for breakout entries. The strategy trades the Gold market (XAU/USD) during the New York session.
Opening Range: The strategy defines the Opening Range (ORB) between 9:30 AM EST and 9:45 AM EST using the highest and lowest points during this 15-minute window.
Breakout Entries: The strategy enters trades when the price breaks above the ORB high for a long position or below the ORB low for a short position. It waits for a 5-minute candle close outside the range before entering a trade.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The stop loss is placed at 50% of the ORB range, and the take profit is set at twice the ORB range (1:2 risk-reward ratio).
Time Window: The strategy only executes trades before 12:00 PM EST, avoiding late-day market fluctuations and consolidations.
True Range & ATRDescription : This indicator plots both the True Range (TR) and the Average True Range (ATR) in a separate pane below the main chart.
- TR represents the absolute price movement range within each candle.
- ATR is a smoothed version of TR over a user-defined period (default: 14), providing insight into market volatility.
- TR is displayed as a histogram for a clearer view of individual candle ranges.
- ATR is plotted as a line to show the smoothed trend of volatility.
This indicator helps traders assess market volatility and potential price movements.
Real-Time Custom Candle Range Color Indicator
The script allows the user to input a custom range value (default set to 100 points) through the userDefinedRange variable. This value determines the minimum range required for a candle to change color.
Calculating Candle Range:
The script calculates the range of each candle by subtracting the low from the high price.
Determining Bullish or Bearish Candles:
It checks whether the close price is higher than the open price to determine if a candle is bullish (isBullish variable).
Coloring Candles:
Based on the custom range input, the script changes the color of the candles:
If the candle's range is greater than or equal to the custom range and it is bullish, the candle color is set to blue (bullishColor).
If the range condition is met and the candle is bearish, the color is set to orange (bearishColor).
If the range condition is not met, the color is set to na (not applicable).
Plotting Colored Candles:
The plotcandle function is used to plot candles with colors based on the custom range and bullish/bearish conditions. The candles will have a higher z-order to be displayed in front of default candles.
Displaying High and Low Price Points:
Triangular shapes are plotted at the high and low price levels using the plotshape function, with colors representing bullish (blue) and bearish (orange) conditions.
In trading, this indicator can help traders visually identify candles that meet a specific range criteria, potentially signaling strength or weakness in price movements. By customizing the range parameter, traders can adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading strategies. It can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions based on candlestick patterns and price movements.

Average True Range with Price MAATR with Price Moving Average Indicator
This custom indicator combines the Average True Range (ATR) with a Price Moving Average (MA) to help traders analyze market volatility in percent to the price.
Key Components:
Average True Range (ATR)
Price Moving Average (MA)
ATR/Price in Percent
ATR/Price in Percent
Purpose: This ratio helps traders understand the relative size of the ATR compared to the current price, providing a clearer sense of how significant the volatility is in proportion to the price level.
Calculation: ATR is divided by the current closing price and multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage. This makes it easier to compare volatility across assets with different price ranges.
Plot: This is plotted as a percentage, making it easier to gauge whether the volatility is proportionally high or low compared to the asset's price.
Usage:
This indicator is designed to help identify the most volatile tokens, making it ideal for configuring a Grid Bot to maximize profit. By focusing on high-volatility assets, traders can capitalize on larger price swings within the grid, increasing the potential for more profitable trades.
Features:
Customizable Smoothing Method: Choose from RMA (Relative Moving Average), SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), or WMA (Weighted Moving Average) for both ATR and the Price Moving Average.
Dual Perspective: The indicator provides both volatility analysis (ATR) and trend analysis (Price MA) in a single view.
Proportional Volatility: The ATR/Price (%) ratio adds a layer of context by showing how volatile the asset is relative to its current price.
