#### **🎯 Core Purpose**

### **⚙️ Key Components**

| **Feature** | **Function** |
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **ATR Filters** | Dual volatility checks (short + long periods) at 13:25 UTC |
| **Tick Range Limit** | Highlights candles with range < user-defined ticks (default: 150) |
| **Time Precision** | Focuses exclusively on 13:30 UTC weekday candles |
| **Visual Markers** | Yellow highlight + tick count label (e.g., "147/150 ticks") |
| **Info Panel** | Real-time display of settings and current tick count |

### **📊 How It Works**
1. **Pre-Open Check (13:25 UTC)**
- Verifies market volatility using 2 ATR values
- Requires both to exceed user-defined thresholds

2. **Open Analysis (13:30 UTC)**
- Measures exact tick count: `(high - low) / instrument_mintick`
- Compares against your max tick limit (adjustable 1-5000)

3. **Visual Trigger**
- Highlights candle yellow if:
```tick_count < your_set_limit```
- Labels show exact performance vs limit (e.g., "142/150 ticks")

### **⚡ Trading Signals**
| **Condition** | **Visual Feedback** |
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| High volatility + tight range | Yellow candle + tick count label |
| All other scenarios | No marking |

### **🛠️ Customization**
```pine
// Key Adjustable Parameters:
maxTicks = input.int(150) // Set 1-5000 ticks
atrPeriod1 = input.int(14) // Short ATR (2-5000)
atrPeriod2 = input.int(161) // Long ATR (2-5000)
candleColor = input.color(color.yellow) // Highlight color
```

### **💡 Practical Use Cases**
1. **Breakout Anticipation**

2. **Session Scalping**
