Range Trading Entry Signals (Trend Considered)

# Range Market Entry Signal Indicator Guide

## Overview
This indicator is a custom TradingView indicator designed to identify effective entry points in range-bound (sideways) markets. It primarily uses RSI (Relative Strength Index) and visually displays range upper and lower bounds to provide counter-trend trading opportunities.

## Key Features

### 1. Range Identification Function
- **Range Upper/Lower Lines**: Automatically identifies ranges based on the highest and lowest values over a specified period (default 50 periods)
- **70% Line Display**: Shows positions at 30% from the top and bottom of the range, providing more precise entry points

### 2. RSI-Based Signal Generation
- **Buy Signal**: Triggered when RSI reverses after falling below the oversold line (default 30)
- **Sell Signal**: Triggered when RSI reverses after rising above the overbought line (default 80)

### 3. Moving Average Filter (Optional)
- Uses 20-period simple moving average as an auxiliary indicator
- Filtering function that considers trend direction

### 4. Information Display Table
- Current RSI value
- Range upper and lower bound values
- Moving average value
- Supports real-time market condition assessment

## Entry Strategies and Usage Examples

### Basic Entry Methods

#### 🟢 Buy Entry

- (Optional) Current price is above the 20-period moving average

**Example**:
```
1. Price moves near the range lower bound
2. RSI drops to 28
3. Next candle shows RSI rising to 32 → Buy signal generated
4. Enter near the range lower 70% line
```

#### 🔴 Sell Entry
**Conditions**:
- RSI falls below 79 after rising above 80
- (Optional) Current price is below the 20-period moving average

**Example**:
```
1. Price moves near the range upper bound
2. RSI rises to 82
3. Next candle shows RSI falling to 78 → Sell signal generated
4. Enter near the range upper 70% line
```

### Profit-Taking Strategies

#### Pattern 1: Take Profit at Opposite Range Side
- **Long Positions**: Take profit at range upper bound or upper 70% line
- **Short Positions**: Take profit at range lower bound or lower 70% line

#### Pattern 2: Take Profit on RSI Reversal
- **Long Positions**: When RSI reaches 70-80 levels
- **Short Positions**: When RSI reaches 20-30 levels

#### Pattern 3: Take Profit on Moving Average Cross
- Partial profit-taking when price crosses the moving average in the opposite direction

### Risk Management

#### Stop Loss Placement
- **Long Positions**: Clear break below the range lower bound
- **Short Positions**: Clear break above the range upper bound

#### Position Size Adjustment
- Adjust position size according to range height (upper bound - lower bound)
- Larger positions for narrow ranges, smaller positions for wide ranges
