ATR 0.5 & 0.7 rangesIt good to look to ATR on intraday trading.
According to our team research only 4.8% of days security goes out of their ATR.
So we developed ATR indicator which shows Daily ATR ranges on smaller time frames.
When price crosses 70% of previous day ATR is good to look for signal to trade backward.

0.382 Fibonacci Line of Trailing 1-year Price RangeYou may try adding this Line to your daily charts. It represents the 0.382 Fibonacci level of the trailing 1-year Price Range.
If price is above this line, then it is in Bullish Territory and long entries can be looked for.
According to backtesting I've done, price being above the 0.382 Fibonacci and/or the 200d sma are the 2 best determinants of
qualifying an equity to be in Bullish Territory on the daily chart.
SD - Developing Central Pivot RangeThis script implements a developing version of Central Pivot Range.
Inputs:

Default is 120% ATR.
Trend dealing rangeHi all!
This indicator will help you find the current dealing range according to the trend. If the trend is bullish the indicator will look for a range between the latest low pivot to the latest high pivot. Vice versa in a bearish trend. The code uses my new library 'FibonacciRetracement' () that has the same code as my other indicator 'Fibonacci retracement' ().
It plots 5 lines from the low to the high and labels them 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %. A trendline can be drawn between the two pivots (dashed and gray by default). Firstly you can define the pivot lengths used, this setting is in the 'Market structure' section but it also applies to the dealing range (it defaults to 5 (left) and 2 (right)). You can show prices if you want to (shown in parantheses, off by default). You can change the default labels position (from left) and the font size (12 by default and higher up it's 7 for market structure text). Lastly you can change the alert frequency (defaults to once per bar close) and the price that has to enter a zone for alert to be sent. 'Close' means that the closing price (or current price if you change the alert frequency to all or once per bar) has to be inside the zone and 'Wick' means that the entire candle needs to be inside the zone.
It's very useful for traders to find the current dealing range and this indicator will help you to do so.
So, this indicator will give you the dealing range and basic market structure through break of structures and change of characters.
If you have any input or suggestions on future features or bugs, don't hesitate to let me know!
Best of trading luck!
Daily Distribution Range - Amplitude Probability DashboardSummary
This indicator provides a powerful statistical deep-dive into an asset's daily distribution range, amplitude and volatility. It moves beyond simple range indicators by calculating the historical probability of a trading day reaching certain amplitude levels.
The results are presented in a clean, interactive dashboard that highlights the current day's performance in real-time, allowing traders to instantly gauge if the current volatility is normal, unusually high, or unusually low compared to history.
This tool is designed to help traders answer a critical question: "Based on past behavior, what is the likelihood that today's range will be at least X%?"
Key Concepts Explained
1. Daily Amplitude (%)
The indicator first calculates the amplitude (or range) of every historical daily candle and expresses it as a percentage of that day's opening price.
Formula: (Daily High - Daily Low) / Daily Open * 100
This normalization allows for a consistent volatility comparison across different price levels and time periods.
2. Cumulative Probability Distribution
Instead of showing the probability of a day's final range falling into a small, exclusive bin (e.g., "exactly between 1.0% and 1.5%"), this indicator uses a cumulative model. It answers the question, "What is the probability that the daily range will be at least a certain value?"
For example, if the row for "≥ 2%" shows a probability of 12.22%, it means that historically, 12.22% of all trading days have had a total range of 2% or more. This is incredibly useful for risk management and setting realistic expectations.
Core Features
Statistical Dashboard: Presents all data in a clear, easy-to-read table on your chart.
Cumulative Probability Model: Instantly see the historical probability of the daily range reaching or exceeding key percentage levels.
Real-Time Highlight & Arrow (→): The dashboard isn't just historical. It actively tracks the current, unfinished day's amplitude and highlights the corresponding row with a color and an arrow (→). This provides immediate context for the current session's price action.
Timeframe Independent: You can use this indicator on any chart timeframe (e.g., 5-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour), and it will always fetch and calculate using the correct daily data.
Clean & Professional UI: Features a monospace font for perfect alignment and a simple, readable design.
Fully Customizable: Easily adjust the dashboard's position, text size, and the amount of historical data used for the analysis.
How to Use & Interpret the Data
This indicator is not a trading signal but a powerful tool for statistical context and decision-making.
Risk Management: If you see that an asset has only a 5% historical probability of moving more than 3% in a day, you can set stop-losses more intelligently and avoid being overly aggressive with your targets on a typical day.
Setting Profit Targets: Gauge realistic intra-day profit targets. If a stock is already up 2.5% and has historically only moved more than 3% on rare occasions, you might consider taking profits.
Options Trading: Volatility is paramount for options. This tool helps you visualize the expected range of movement, which can inform decisions on strike selection for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Identifying Volatility Regimes: Quickly see if the current day is a "normal" low-volatility day or an "abnormal" high-volatility day that could signal a major market event or trend initiation.
Dashboard Breakdown
→ (Arrow): Points to the bin corresponding to the current, live day's amplitude.
Amplitude Level: The minimum amplitude threshold. The format "≥ 1.5%" means "greater than or equal to 1.5%".
Days Reaching Level: The raw number of historical days that had an amplitude equal to or greater than the level in the first column.
Prob. of Reaching Level (%): The percentage of total days that reached that amplitude level (Days Reaching Level / Total Days Analyzed).
Settings
Position: Choose where the dashboard appears on your chart.
Text Size: Adjust the font size for better readability on your screen resolution.
Max Historical Days to Analyze: Set the lookback period for the statistical analysis. A larger number provides a more robust statistical sample but may take slightly longer to load initially.
Enjoy this tool and use it to add a new layer of statistical depth to your trading analysis.
Opening Range BreakoutThis indicator is designed for Opening Range Breakout (ORB) traders who want automatic calculation of breakout levels and multiple price targets.
It is optimised for NSE intraday trading, capturing the first 15-minute range from 09:15 to 09:30 and plotting key breakout targets for both long and short trades.
✨ Features:
Automatic daily reset — fresh levels are calculated every trading day.
Opening Range High & Low plotted immediately after 09:30.
Two profit targets for both Buy & Sell breakouts based on the opening range size:
T1 = 100% of range added/subtracted from OR high/low.
T2 = 200% of range added/subtracted from OR high/low.
Clear breakout signals (BUY / SELL labels) when price crosses the OR High or Low.
Custom alerts for both buy and sell triggers.
Designed to work on any intraday timeframe (1min, 3min, 5min, etc.).
📊 How it works:
From 09:15 to 09:30, the script records the highest and lowest prices.
At 09:30, the range is locked in and breakout targets are calculated automatically.
Buy and Sell signals are generated when price breaks above the OR High or below the OR Low.
Targets and range lines automatically reset for the next day.
⚠️ Notes:
This script is tuned for NSE market timings but can be adapted for other markets by changing the session input.
Works best on intraday charts for active traders.
This is not financial advice — always backtest before trading live.
IB with Range PercentageThis Pine Script indicator for TradingView combines several powerful technical analysis tools to give traders a comprehensive view of market action:
Inside Bar Detection: Identifies the classic inside bar candlestick pattern.
Moving Averages: Provides multiple moving averages to help determine trend and potential support/resistance levels.
Information Table: Displays key market data in a concise table format.
1. Inside Bar Detection and Range
The indicator marks inside bars on the chart. An inside bar is a candlestick where its entire range (high and low) falls within the range of the preceding candlestick (often called the "mother bar"). This pattern often signifies market consolidation or indecision.
Customizable Marking: Users can choose the shape and color used to mark the inside bars, such as triangles, squares, or circles.
Range Percentage: A label shows the range of the inside bar as a percentage of the previous bar's low, providing a quantitative measure of its size.
Time Restriction: A setting allows displaying inside bars only for a specified number of past days, focusing analysis on recent price action.
Customizable Label Size: Users can choose the size of the range percentage label for optimal visibility.
2. Moving Averages for Trend Analysis
The indicator can plot up to four moving averages (MAs) on the chart. Moving averages smooth out price data to help identify trends and potential support and resistance levels.
User-Selectable MA Type: For each MA, traders can choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Customizable Length: Users can specify the length (number of periods) for each MA, such as 20, 50, 100, or 200.
Customizable Color: Each MA's line color can be chosen to suit personal preferences.
Trend Identification: When the price is above an MA, it suggests an uptrend, while prices below suggest a downtrend. The slope of the MA also indicates trend momentum.
3. Information Table for Key Data
A customizable information table is displayed on the chart, providing a quick overview of important market data.
Average Daily Range (ADR) Percentage: Shows the average daily range of the asset as a percentage, reflecting its historical volatility.
Distance from EMAs: Displays how far the current price is from the 10, 20, and 50 period Exponential Moving Averages. A positive percentage indicates the price is above the MA, while a negative percentage means it's below.
Customizable Table Elements: Users can choose the table's background color, text color, and text size for optimal readability.
How to Use This Indicator:
This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders using technical analysis:
Inside Bar Breakouts: Inside bars often precede breakouts. Traders can use the inside bar markings and range percentage to identify potential breakout opportunities.
Confirmation of Trends: Moving averages help confirm the direction of the trend, enabling traders to align their inside bar strategies with the prevailing market direction.
Support and Resistance: Moving averages can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can look for inside bars forming near these levels as potential entry or exit points.
Volatility and Range Analysis: The ADR percentage helps assess the normal daily range of an asset, which can be useful for setting realistic price targets and managing risk.
Risk Management: The distance from EMAs can alert traders to potential overextended moves, providing information for setting stop-loss or take-profit levels.
By combining these elements, this indicator provides a layered approach to market analysis, allowing traders to identify potential trading opportunities and manage risk effectively based on both candlestick patterns and trend-following indicators. Remember that no indicator guarantees success, and it's essential to use this tool in conjunction with other analysis techniques and proper risk management practices.
Multi-Timeframe ATR, Range Size, and Ticks DisplayThis PineScript indicator for TradingView displays a multi-timeframe (MTF) table showing ATR values, calculated range sizes (based on a user-defined percentage of ATR), and the number of ticks (R) in each range size for timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h, 8h, and 1D. It also shows the minimum price change (mintick) for the symbol.
Key features:
ATR Calculation: Uses the standard ATR with a configurable period (default 14) fetched via request.security for each timeframe.
Range Size: Computes range as ATR * (percentage / 100), where percentage is user-input (default 10%).
Ticks (R): Divides range size by syminfo.mintick to get the number of ticks, useful for setting range bar sizes (e.g., in NinjaTrader or TradingView range charts).
Table Display: A customizable table at the top-right corner, updated only on the last bar for performance. Includes an option to show/hide the table.
Compatibility: Works on time-based charts; values remain consistent even if switching chart types, as ATR is always pulled from specified timeframes.
To use: Add to TradingView, adjust inputs, and apply to a time-based chart (e.g., 1m or 5m) for scalping BTC/USDT as per your strategy. The script ensures calculations are timeframe-independent, so switching to range/renko/etc. won't alter the displayed MTF data.
Twin Range Filter – Buy/Sell SignalsThe Twin Range Filter is a trend-following indicator that combines two adaptive volatility filters to identify potential market reversals and trend continuations. It uses two configurable smoothing periods (fast and slow) to calculate a dynamic range around price, filtering out market noise and highlighting meaningful shifts in direction.
This indicator plots BUY and SELL signals based on price action in relation to the range filter, as well as internal trend conditions.
✅ How It Works:
Long Signal (BUY) is triggered when:
Price is above the filtered range (showing strength), and
Short-term upward momentum is confirmed.
Short Signal (SELL) is triggered when:
Price is below the filtered range (showing weakness), and
Short-term downward momentum is confirmed.
The signals are highlighted using green "Long" and red "Short" labels on the chart.
Background colors reinforce the current directional bias.
🔔 Alerts:
Long Signal – A new BUY condition has been detected.
Short Signal – A new SELL condition has been detected.
📌 Use Cases:
Entry timing for swing or intraday trades
Trend confirmation filter
Signal generator in automated strategies (when paired with a strategy script)

FVG Range Filter0x278's FVG Range Filter
Overview
The FVG Range Filter is a TradingView indicator designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart. FVGs are areas of price imbalance that often act as significant zones for potential price retracement or reversal. This indicator filters out irrelevant gaps, showing only those that are within a specified price range and time frame, making it easier to focus on high-probability trading opportunities.
This guide is crafted to help both novice and experienced traders understand how to use this indicator effectively, even if you're new to the concept of FVG trading. We'll cover what FVGs are, how the indicator works, how to interpret its visual elements, and how to apply it in various trading scenarios.
What are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps occur when the price of an asset moves so quickly in one direction that it leaves a 'gap' or 'void' on the chart where no trading activity occurred. These gaps represent areas of imbalance between supply and demand, often created by strong buying or selling pressure. Traders use FVGs to identify potential areas where price might return to 'fill' the gap, offering opportunities for entries or exits.
Bullish FVG : This happens when price jumps upward, leaving a gap below. It suggests strong buying pressure and often acts as a support zone when price retraces.
Bearish FVG : This occurs when price drops sharply, leaving a gap above. It indicates strong selling pressure and often acts as a resistance zone when price retraces.
How the FVG Range Filter Works
The FVG Range Filter indicator automatically detects these gaps based on a specific three-bar pattern that identifies significant price imbalances. It then applies filters to ensure only relevant FVGs are displayed:
Range Filter : Only shows FVGs whose midpoint is within a user-defined percentage of the current price. This keeps the focus on gaps that are close enough to be actionable.
Time Filter : Only displays FVGs that are younger than a specified number of bars, ensuring you're looking at recent and relevant price action.
Invalidation : Once the price trades through the midpoint of an FVG, the gap is considered 'filled' or invalidated, and it is removed from the chart.
This filtering mechanism declutters your chart, highlighting only the most pertinent FVGs for your trading decisions.
Indicator Settings
The FVG Range Filter offers customizable inputs to tailor its behavior to your trading style:
Display Range (%) : This sets the percentage range from the current price within which FVGs are shown. A lower value (e.g., 1.0%) shows only gaps very close to the current price, while a higher value (e.g., 5.0%) includes gaps further away. Default is 1.0%.
Look-back Bars : This determines how far back in time the indicator looks for FVGs. It also limits how long a gap remains visible if it hasn't been invalidated. Default is 1000 bars.
Show Bullish FVGs : Toggle to display bullish FVGs (green boxes by default). Default is enabled.
Show Bearish FVGs : Toggle to display bearish FVGs (red boxes by default). Default is enabled.
Box Opacity (0-100) : Adjusts the transparency of the FVG boxes on the chart. A value of 0 is fully transparent (invisible), while 100 is fully opaque. Default is 33 for a subtle appearance.
Visual Elements and Interpretation
The indicator draws rectangular boxes on your chart to represent FVGs. Understanding these visual elements is key to using the indicator effectively:
Green Boxes : Represent bullish FVGs. These are areas where price gapped upward, suggesting potential support zones. If price retraces to this area, it might bounce off as buyers step in to defend the level.
Red Boxes : Represent bearish FVGs. These are areas where price gapped downward, indicating potential resistance zones. If price retraces to this area, it might face selling pressure and reverse downward.
Box Position and Extension : Each box starts at the bar where the FVG was detected and extends to the right, updating dynamically as new bars form. This extension helps maintain visibility until the gap is either invalidated or falls out of the look-back period.
Disappearance of Boxes : A box disappears from the chart in two scenarios:
Price Moves Away : If the midpoint of the FVG moves outside the specified display range percentage from the current price, or if the FVG becomes older than the look-back bars limit, the box is removed (though the gap data persists in memory for potential re-display if conditions are met again).
Invalidation : If price trades through the midpoint of the FVG (i.e., the low of a candle goes below the midpoint for a bullish FVG, or the high goes above the midpoint for a bearish FVG), the gap is considered filled, and the box is permanently removed from the chart.
Trading Scenarios with FVG Range Filter
Below are detailed trading scenarios to help you understand how to use the FVG Range Filter in practical situations. These scenarios assume you're trading with the trend or looking for reversals at key levels.
Scenario 1: Bullish FVG as Support for Long Entry
Setup : You're trading a stock in an uptrend on a 15-minute chart. The FVG Range Filter displays a green box (bullish FVG) after a sharp upward move earlier in the day.
Interpretation : This green box indicates a zone of imbalance where price gapped up, likely due to strong buying interest. Since it's still within the display range and look-back period, it's a relevant support zone.
Action : Wait for price to retrace back to the top edge of the green box. Look for confirmation of support, such as a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., hammer or engulfing) or increased volume, indicating buyers are stepping in.
Entry : Enter a long position near the top of the FVG box, setting a stop-loss just below the bottom of the box to protect against a breakdown.
Target : Aim for the next resistance level or a predefined risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2). If another bullish FVG forms above, consider that as a potential target.
Exit : Exit the trade if price breaks below the bottom of the FVG (invalidation), or if the box disappears due to price trading through the midpoint, signaling the gap is filled.
Scenario 2: Bearish FVG as Resistance for Short Entry
Setup : You're trading a cryptocurrency on a 1-hour chart during a downtrend. The indicator shows a red box (bearish FVG) after a sharp downward move a few hours ago.
Interpretation : The red box marks a zone where price gapped down, indicating strong selling pressure. As long as it's within the display range and look-back period, it remains a potential resistance zone.
Action : Wait for price to rally back to the bottom edge of the red box. Look for signs of rejection, such as a bearish candlestick pattern (e.g., shooting star or engulfing) or decreasing volume, suggesting sellers are defending this level.
Entry : Enter a short position near the bottom of the FVG box, placing a stop-loss just above the top of the box to guard against a breakout.
Target : Target the next support level or a favorable risk-reward ratio. If a new bearish FVG appears below, it could serve as a potential target.
Exit : Exit if price breaks above the top of the FVG (invalidation), or if the box disappears because price has traded through the midpoint, indicating the gap is no longer relevant.
Scenario 3: Filtering Out Irrelevant FVGs During Choppy Markets
Setup : You're trading forex on a 5-minute chart during a period of consolidation with no clear trend. The chart shows frequent small price jumps, but the FVG Range Filter displays very few boxes.
Interpretation : The indicator is filtering out FVGs that are either too far from the current price (outside the display range percentage) or too old (beyond the look-back bars). This helps avoid false signals in a non-trending market.
Action : Recognize that the absence of FVGs on the chart suggests no high-probability setups at the moment. Avoid forcing trades based on minor price movements that don't meet the filter criteria.
Entry : Wait for a clear trend to emerge and for new FVGs to appear within the filter parameters before considering any trades.
Target/Exit : Follow the trend direction once FVGs are displayed, using the edges of the boxes as potential entry or exit zones as described in the previous scenarios.
Scenario 4: Using FVGs for Risk Management
Setup : You're already in a long position on an index futures contract on a 30-minute chart, and the FVG Range Filter shows a green box below your entry point.
Interpretation : The green box represents a bullish FVG that could act as a support zone. Since price hasn't yet reached the midpoint (which would invalidate the FVG), it remains a valid reference point for managing risk.
Action : Adjust your stop-loss to just below the bottom of the green box. This placement uses the FVG as a logical invalidation level, assuming that a break below this support zone negates the bullish premise of your trade.
Entry : No new entry is needed since you're already in the trade.
Target/Exit : Keep your original target unless a new bearish FVG forms above, which might indicate resistance. Exit if price breaks below the FVG or if the box disappears due to invalidation.
Tips for Using the FVG Range Filter
Combine with Trend Analysis : FVGs are most effective when traded in the direction of the prevailing trend. Use higher timeframe analysis or other indicators to confirm the overall market direction before acting on FVGs.
Adjust Settings for Market Conditions : In volatile markets (like cryptocurrencies), you might increase the display range percentage to capture more FVGs. In less volatile markets (like certain stocks), a tighter range might be more appropriate.
Timeframe Selection : The indicator works on all timeframes, but lower timeframes (1-15 minutes) might show more frequent FVGs for scalping, while higher timeframes (1-4 hours) are better for swing trading with larger, more significant gaps.
Confirmation Tools : Don't rely solely on FVGs for entries. Use additional confirmation from price action (candlestick patterns), volume, or other indicators to increase the probability of success.
Monitor Invalidation : If an FVG box disappears from the chart due to price trading through its midpoint, consider it a signal that the gap is no longer relevant. Adjust your strategy accordingly.
Limitations
Not a Standalone System : The FVG Range Filter identifies potential zones of interest but does not provide entry signals, stop-loss, or take-profit levels on its own. It should be used as part of a broader trading strategy.
Market Conditions : FVGs may be less effective in strongly trending markets where price doesn't retrace to fill gaps, or in very choppy markets where too many small gaps are filtered out.
Lag in Detection : Since FVGs are based on a three-bar pattern, there is a slight delay in identifying them after the price movement has occurred.
Good Luck!
The FVG Range Filter is a powerful tool for traders looking to capitalize on price imbalances in the market. By focusing only on relevant Fair Value Gaps within a specified range and time frame, it helps declutter your chart and highlights high-probability zones for potential trades. Whether you're new to FVG trading or an experienced trader, this indicator can enhance your analysis by visually identifying key areas of support and resistance based on market inefficiencies.
Experiment with the settings to match your trading style and market conditions, and always combine the indicator's insights with other forms of analysis for the best results. Happy trading!

True Range eXpansion🕯️ TRX — True Range eXpansion
Clean Candle Bodies · Volatility Bands · Adaptive Range Envelope System
Not your grandfather’s candles. Not your brokerage’s bands.
----------------------------------------------------
TRX begins with a simple concept: visualize the true range of every candle, without the noise of flickering wicks.
From there, it grows into a fully adaptive price visualization framework.
What started as a candle-only visualizer evolved into a modular, user-controlled price engine.
From wickless candle clarity to dynamic volatility envelopes, TRX adapts to you.
There are plenty of band and channel indicators out there — Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian, Envelope, the whole crew.
But none of them are built on the true candle range, adaptive ATR shaping, and full user control like TRX.
This isn’t just another indicator — it’s a new framework.
Most bands and channels are based on close price and statistical deviation — useful, but limited.
TRX uses the full true range of each candle as its foundation, then applies customizable smoothing and directional ATR scaling to form a dynamic, volatility-reactive envelope.
The result? Bands that breathe with the market — not lag behind it.
----------------------------------------------------
🔧 Core Features:
🕯️ True Range Candles — Each candle is plotted from low to high, body-only, colored by open/close.
📈 Adjustable High/Low Moving Averages — Select your smoothing style: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA.
🌬️ ATR-Based Expansion — Bands dynamically breathe based on market volatility.
🔀 Per-Band Multipliers — Fine-tune expansion individually for the upper and lower bands.
⚖️ Basis Line — Optional centerline between bands for structure tracking and equilibrium zones.
🎛️ Full Visual Control — Width, transparency, color, on/off toggles for each element.
----------------------------------------------------
🧠 Default Use Case:
With the included default settings, TRX behaves like an evolved Bollinger Band system — based on True Range candle structure, not just close price and standard deviation.
----------------------------------------------------
🔄 How to Zero Out the Bands (for Minimalist Use):
Want just candles? A clean MA? Single band? You got it.
➤ Use TRX like a clean moving average:
• Set ATR Multiplier to 0
• Set both Band ATR Adjustments to 0
• Leave the Basis Line ON or OFF — your call
➤ Show only candles (no bands at all):
• Turn off "Show High/Low MAs"
• Turn off Basis Line
➤ Single-line ceiling or floor tracking:
• Set one band’s Transparency to 100
• Use the remaining band as a price envelope or support/resistance guide
----------------------------------------------------
🧬 Notes:
TRX can be made:
• Spiky or silky (via smoothing & ATR)
• Wide or tight (via multipliers)
• Subtle or aggressive (via color/transparency)
• Clean as a compass or dirty as a chaos meter
Built by accident. Tuned with intention.
Released to the world as one of the most adaptable and expressive visual overlays ever made.
