cephxs + fadi / Previous Time Based Dealing RangesPREVIOUS TIME BASED DEALING RANGES
Visualize previous and current higher timeframe dealing ranges with dual-box OHLC representation, extending reference lines, and HTF candle displays.
Open Source Fork of @fadizeidan 's HTF Candles Indicator
OVERVIEW
This indicator displays time-based dealing ranges from higher timeframes directly on your chart. It shows the complete price action structure of previous (or current/forming) periods using a dual-box system: one box for the full High-Low range and another for the Open-Close body. Reference lines extend from key levels to help identify potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones.
Perfect for traders who use ICT concepts, market structure analysis, or any methodology that relies on understanding where price has been relative to previous dealing ranges.
KEY FEATURES
Dual-Box Range Visualization: Each range displays two boxes - the full H-L range (outer) and the O-C body (inner) - giving immediate visual context of candle structure
Multiple Timeframes: Support for 90m, 4H, 6H, 1D, 1W, 1M, and 3M ranges
Previous/Current Mode: View completed ranges (Previous) or the forming range (Current) with real-time updates
Auto Mode: Automatically selects the appropriate range based on your chart timeframe
Reference Lines: Extending lines from High, Mid, Low (or Quadrants: H/75/M/25/L) with trade-into detection
HTF Candle Display: Visual HTF candles positioned to the right of price for context
6H Session Support: Session-aware ranges for Asia, London, NY AM, and NY PM with labeled names
Open Line: Vertical line marking the range's opening price/time
Imbalance Detection: Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances highlighted on HTF candles
MODE OPTIONS
Previous/Current: Previous shows the last completed range. Current shows the forming range with dynamic H/L/C updates
Auto/Manual: Auto selects range by chart TF. Manual lets you choose specific ranges
Extend Box (Current): In Current mode, extends the box's right edge as price develops
AUTO MODE TIMEFRAME LOGIC
Auto mode now selects up to 3 ranges automatically based on chart timeframe, providing multi-timeframe context:
Chart ≤ 3m → 90m + 6H + 1D
Chart 4m-14m → 6H + 1D + 1W
Chart 15m-59m → 1D + 1W (+ 1M available)
Chart 1H-3H → 1D + 1W + 1M
Chart 4H-23H → 1W + 1M + 3M
Chart ≥ 1D → 1M + 3M

TIPS
The Mid (M) level often acts as equilibrium - watch for mean reversion plays
High and Low levels are natural support/resistance zones
In Current mode, watch how price interacts with the forming range boundaries
Combine with your existing analysis for confluence
The Open Line helps identify the "true open" of each range for gap analysis
