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.
