Uses ATR(10) with a multiplier of 2.1, based on HL2.
Supertrend can be toggled ON/OFF from the settings.
Average True Range (ATR)
ATR % Oscillator - DolphinTradeBot1️⃣ Overview
🔸 This is a simplified version of ATR and TR that shows volatility as percentage changes , making it easier to compare two symbols.
🔸 The indicator compares the volatility of two different assets by calculating the percentage-based price ranges and their moving averages .
📌 This is especially useful for pair traders, as it helps identify which symbol is more volatile, allowing for strategic decisions based on relative movement rather than overall market direction.
2️⃣ How Is It Work?
🔸 For each symbol, it calculates the absolute percentage difference between either:
• Close and Open (net price change), or
• High and Low (daily price range).
🔸 The results are visualized as column bars — the taller the bar, the higher the volatility.
🔸 It also plots a moving average line (SMA) based on the selected range length.
📌 These calculations are independent of the chart you're on — they work purely based on the two selected symbols.
If no symbols are selected, it defaults to using the current chart's symbol.
3️⃣ How to Use It?
With this indicator, you can:
🔸 Compare the volatility between two assets.
🔸 Detect sudden volatility spikes that may signal upcoming momentum.
🔸 Support spread, arbitrage, or correlation-based strategies .
🔸 See which symbol is gaining market attention (a larger difference = more activity).
Example: Compare BTC vs ETH to see which one is dominating in terms of price action or volatility.
4️⃣⚙️ Settings
🔸 Symbol Settings
• Symbol-1 / Symbol-2: Choose the two assets to compare.
• Checkboxes: Enable/disable visibility for each symbol's data.
🔸 Calculation Settings
• Range Average: The number of bars used for the moving average.
• Calculation Source:
- Close-Open: Measures net price movement.
- High-Low: Measures total price range.
VoluTility🌊 VoluTility forecasts trend exhaustion, breakout pressure, and structural inflection by measuring volatility within the effort stream. Built on the concept of ATR applied to volume, it doesn’t read raw volume — it reveals whether that volume is stable, chaotic, or compressing ahead of a move. The goal is to detect structural setups before they resolve. The lower the timeframe, the greater the alpha.
🧠 Core Logic
A zero-centered histogram shows the deviation of smoothed volume from its own volatility baseline. Positive bars indicate expansion; negative bars signal compression. Color reflects rate-of-change in volume volatility. Opacity tracks effort/result strength — showing when moves are real or hollow.
The overlaid ribbon (EMA vs HMA) highlights rhythm shifts. Orange fill signals real expansion; yellow shows decay or absorption. Together, they expose pre-breakout compression and exhaustion tails before price reacts.
🏗️ Structural Read
On the 1H BTC chart shown, price coils into a shallow pullback, compressing within a narrow range marked by shrinking candle bodies and muted wick aggression. A sudden expansion candle breaks the coil cleanly, with no immediate rejection or wick reversion. Price holds above the breakout pivot, establishing a baseline for structural acceptance and shifting bias toward continuation.
🔰 Zone Descriptions
🔴 Volatile blowout
🟠 Clean expansion
🟡 Passive or absorbed effort
🟢 Steady-state rhythm
🔵 Compression coil
🧐 Suggested Use
VoluTility is expressly designed as an overlay for sub-pane indicators, where it acts as a second-order rhythm map — exposing hidden structural pressure within volume or volatility streams. When paired with volume (like ZVOL or OBVX), it highlights when flow is expanding with intent versus fading into noise. When layered over volatility signals (like ATR Turbulence or WIRE), it reveals whether expansion has real effort behind it — or is just structural slack.
It pairs especially well with the Relative Directional Index (RDI), where its histogram and ribbon offer early exhaustion signals before traditional trend or momentum fades appear. On raw momentum tools, it acts as a filter: softening false breaks and confirming pressure-backed continuation.
Run on 15m or lower charts for early entry cues or breakout anticipation. On 1H charts, use it to validate compression resolution or detect fatigue before structure turns. It doesn’t react to price — it forecasts readiness.

RSI + ADX + ATR Combo Indicator: RSI + ADX + ATR Combo Filter
This indicator is a confluence filter tool that combines RSI, ADX, and ATR into a single, easy-to-read chart overlay. It is designed to help traders identify low-volatility, non-trending zones with balanced momentum—ideal for strategies that rely on breakouts or reversals.
🔍 Core Components:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Standard RSI with custom upper and lower bounds (default: 60 and 40).
Filters out extreme overbought/oversold regions and focuses on price consolidation zones.
ADX (Average Directional Index)
Measures trend strength.
When ADX is below a custom threshold (default: 20), it indicates a weak or range-bound trend.
ATR (Average True Range)
Represents volatility.
Low ATR values (default threshold: 2.5) are used to filter out high-volatility environments, helping refine entries.
🟣 Signal Logic:
A signal is highlighted with a background color when all three conditions are met:
RSI is between lower and upper bounds (e.g., 40 < RSI < 60) ✅
ADX is below the trend threshold (e.g., ADX < 20) ✅
ATR is below the volatility threshold (e.g., ATR < 2.5) ✅
These combined conditions suggest a low-volatility, low-trend strength, and balanced momentum zone—perfect for anticipating breakouts or strong directional moves.
Open Range Candle [TradeWithRon]This Open Range Break indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels using the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy.

Chonky ATR Levels 2.0Show ATR based high/low projections.
Choose a custom ATR calculation in the indicator's settings.
The default is a 20day RMA based ATR.
----------How projections are calculated----------
To project the ATR High, the ATR value is added to the low of the current candle that matches the ATR's timeframe.
To project the ATR Low, the ATR value is subtracted from the high of the current candle that matches the ATR's timeframe.
Example:
If a 20day RMA ATR is used:
- the ATR High will be the current day's low + the ATR value.
- the ATR Low will be the current day's high - the ATR value.
*However*, if the price action exceeds either ATR projection, the opposite ATR level will be fixed to the extreme of the period.
See the AUDUSD screenshot above for an example.
The ATR Low was exceeded, so the ATR High projection is capped at the high of day.
If the ATR High is exceeded, the ATR Low would be capped at the low of day.
Rachas ATR AssistHey Traders!
This indicator is a simple, it uses Average True Range (ATR) data from the daily chart and the current timeframe to estimate potential range and volatility.
This indicator compares the daily ATR to the current daily wick range (from low to high), helping you gauge how much "room" might be left for price movement within the day. Alongside that, it shows the ATR over the last 14 candles and 5 candles on your current chart for intraday volatility awareness—ideal for setting stops, targets, or position sizing.
Gauge Daily Potential Movement:
The "Day Range Difference" cell shows how much of the expected daily range (based on ATR) is still unfilled. If the market has moved less than the average, there's still potential for expansion. If it's close to or above the ATR, expect a slowdown or reversal.
Position Sizing & Stop Losses:
Use the 14-period ATR and 5-period ATR on your current timeframe to understand recent volatility. This helps in choosing logical stop loss levels and adjusting position sizes based on market conditions.
Volatility Awareness:
Knowing the average daily range and how much of it has been used lets you avoid entering trades too late in the move or placing stops in overly tight spots.
Table Position & Font:
You can adjust the table location (top/bottom left/right) and font size to best fit your chart layout.
Order Block Indicator | DTDHello trader comuunity!
I'm uploading a basic script that I felt necessary to make to help me with some gaps in my day trading. I personally am a visual trader that benefits greatly from automating some the ideas I have in my head. There are awesome builders out there and me creating this script isn't a knock on what's currently available to us, but something I wanted to be able to manage. I am opening up what I've found extremely helpful to my own trading to the community.
Here we have a very simple ATR-based order block (OB) finder. It's not anything original, but I do find consistent opportunities when combined with other tools I use to measure the market. It takes into consideration the previous 25 candles to determine if the OB is significant enough to mark. I use the average of 25 because I simply like it. I use the 25 EMA as part of my "trending" templates and find it to be a hybrid timeframe of sorts. You can find macro and micro trade locations by switching timeframes.
The main elements of the script are:
1. ATR based tracking | A bullish OB is defined as a down close candle that is eclipsed by an up-close candle that closes above its high and sustained for 2 consecutive candles. Inversely, a bearish OB is defined by an up-close candle immediately followed by a down-close candle that closes below the low of the up-close candle and sustains for 2 consecutive candles.
2. Coloring the OB | Though up-close and down-close define bearish and bullish levels, with this script I basically make OBs to switch colors based on where price is relative to the block. So a bullish block can become bearish and bearish can become bullish. Each block also has a dashed midpoint.
3. Order Block Mitigation | When price retests an OB by closing inside of it and retracing back out, that is considered mitigation. You will see price tap into it, but continues to track as a valid block, it's because it didn't close inside the block. This is subject to change in the future, but it's how the script functions for now.
______________
There are nuances to the script that you will see as you use it. Sometimes mitigated OBs act as levels to consider as well. When multiple blocks overlap I consider that a high traffic area. I would never suggest to use an indicator by itself for trade ideas, but blocks that align on multiple timeframes are good to consider.
At the end of the day it's a support and resistance measure. I'll comment an update with a snapshot of the indicator with another proprietary indicator I've made that provides ample intraday trading opportunities.
Cheers,
DTD

Cz ASR indicatorAverage session range indicator built by me. Great tool to gauge volatility and intraday reversal zones. Great for FX as there is an included table that shows range in pips; however, this can be applied across all assets as a volatility measure.
How it works:
The script measures the range of sessions, including Asia, London, and New York. The lookback period could be adjusted so you can find what length works best and is most accurate. This is then averaged out to provide the ASR. This provides us with an upper and lower bound of which the price could potentially fluctuate in based on the past session ranges. I have also added the 50% ASR, which is also a super useful metric for reversals or continuations.
There is also a configurable UTC so that you can adjust the indicator so it can accurately measure the range within certain sessions.
Note - different session start and stop times vary from market to market. I have set the code to the standard forex market opens however, if you wish to change the time ,you are able to do so by editing the variables in the script
Enjoy :)
ATR - Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon🧭 Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)
The Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR) is an enhanced and reimagined version of the standard Average True Range (ATR) indicator. It visualizes not just raw volatility, but the structure, momentum, and efficiency of volatility through a multi-layered visual approach.
It contains two distinct visual systems:
1. A zero-centered histogram that expresses how current volatility compares to its historical average, with intensity and color showing speed and conviction
2. A braided ribbon made of dual ATR-based moving averages that highlight transitions in volatility behavior—whether volatility is expanding or contracting
The name reflects its purpose: to capture asymmetric, evolving turbulence in market behavior, through structure-aware volatility tracking.
_______________________________________________________________
🔧 Inputs (Fibonacci defaults)
ATR Length
Lookback period for ATR calculation (default: 13)
ATR Base Avg. Length
Moving average period used as the zero baseline for histogram (default: 55)
ATR ROC Lookback
Number of bars to measure rate of change for histogram color mapping (default: 8)
Timeframe Override
Optionally calculate ATR values from a higher or fixed timeframe (e.g., 1D) for macro-volatility overlay
Show Ribbon Fill
Toggles colored fill between ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show ATR MAs
Toggles visibility of ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show Crossover Markers
Shows directional triangle markers where ATR EMA and HMA cross
Show Histogram
Toggles the entire histogram display
_______________________________________________________________
📊 Histogram Component: Volatility Energy Profile
The histogram shows how far the current ATR is from its moving average baseline, centered around zero. This lets you interpret volatility pressure—whether it's expanding, contracting, or preparing to reverse.
To complement this, the indicator also plots the raw ATR line in aqua. This is the actual average true range value—used internally in both the histogram and ribbon calculations. By default, it appears as a slightly thicker line, providing a clear reference point for comparing historical volatility trends and absolute levels.
Use the baseline ATR to:
- Compare real-time volatility to previous peaks or troughs
- Monitor how ATR behaves near histogram flips or ribbon crossovers
- Evaluate volatility phases in absolute terms alongside relative momentum
The ATR line is particularly helpful for users who want to keep tabs on raw volatility values while still benefiting from the enhanced visual storytelling of the histogram and ribbon systems.
Each histogram bar is colored based on the rate of change (ROC) in ATR: The faster ATR rises or falls, the more intense the color. Meanwhile, the opacity of each bar is adjusted by the effort/result ratio of the price candle (body vs. range), showing how much price movement was achieved with conviction.
Color Interpretation:
🔴 Red
Strong volatility expansion
Market entering or deepening into a volatility burst
Seen during breakouts, panic moves, or macro shock events
Often accompanied by large real candle bodies
🟠 Orange
Moderate volatility expansion
Heating up phase, often precedes breakouts
Common in strong trending environments
Signals tightening before acceleration
🟡 Yellow
Mild volatility increase
Transitional state—energy building, not yet exploding
Appears in early trend development or pullbacks
🟢 Green
Mild volatility contraction
ATR cooling off
Seen during consolidation, reversion, or range balance
Good time to assess upcoming directional setups
🔵 Aqua
Moderate compression
Volatility is clearly declining
Signals consolidation within larger structure
Pre-breakout zones often form here
🔵 Deep Blue
Strong volatility compression
Market is coiling or dormant
Can signal upcoming squeeze or fade environment
Often followed by sharp expansion
Opacity scaling:
Brighter bars = efficient, directional price action (strong bodies)
Faded bars = indecision, chop, absorption, or wick-heavy structure
Together, color and opacity give a 2D view of market volatility: Hue = the type and direction of volatility
Opacity = the quality and structure behind it
Use this to gauge whether volatility is rising with conviction, fading into neutrality, or compressing toward breakout potential.
_______________________________________________________________
🪡 Ribbon Component: Volatility Rhythm Structure
The ribbon overlays two moving averages of ATR:
EMA (yellow) – faster, more reactive
HMA (orange) – smoother, more rhythmic
Their relationship creates the ribbon logic:
Yellow fill (EMA > HMA)
Short-term volatility is increasing faster than the longer-term rhythm
Signals active expansion and engagement
Orange fill (HMA > EMA)
Volatility is decaying or leveling off
Suggests possible exhaustion, pullback, or range
Crossover triangle markers (optional, off by default to avoid clutter) identify the moment of shift in volatility phase.
The ribbon reflects the shape of volatility over time—ideal for mapping cyclical energy shifts, transitional states, and alignment between current and average volatility.
_______________________________________________________________
📐 Strategy Application
Use the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon to:
- Detect volatility expansions before breakouts or directional runs
- Spot compression zones that precede structural ruptures
- Visually separate efficient moves from noisy market activity
- Confirm or fade trade setups based on underlying energy state
- Track the volatility environment across multiple timeframes using the override
_______________________________________________________________
🎯 Ideal Timeframes
Designed to function across all timeframes, but particularly powerful on intraday to daily ranges (1H to 1D)
Use the timeframe override to anchor your chart in higher-timeframe volatility context, like daily ATR behavior influencing a 1H setup.
_______________________________________________________________
🧬 Customization Tips
- Increase ATR ROC Lookback for smoother color transitions
- Extend ATR Base Avg Length for more macro-driven histogram centering
- Disable the histogram for ribbon-only rhythm view
- Use opacity and color shifts in the histogram to detect stealth energy builds
- Align ATR phases with structure or order flow tools for high-quality setups

Breaking Structures (javieresfeliz)This TradingView script is designed to identify market structure changes, using a break of highs and lows approach, as well as technical indicators such as ATR, RSI, and EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). It is aimed at detecting bullish and bearish trends, signaling possible entry and exit points based on various factors. It also offers additional confirmations to avoid false signals and provides a clear visualization of buy and sell signals.
Main Features:
Indicators Used:
ATR (Average True Range): Used to calculate a volatility range, which helps set stop-loss levels and price targets based on the current market volatility.
EMAs (50 and 200): Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are used to determine the short-term and long-term trends. The 50-period EMA is used to identify the short-term trend, while the 200-period EMA is used to identify the long-term trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market, providing additional buy or sell signals.
Volume: Used to confirm the validity of a signal. An increase in volume can confirm a structure break and provide more reliability to the signal.
Break of Structure Detection (BOS):
Bullish Break: Generated when the price surpasses previous highs.
Bearish Break: Generated when the price falls below previous lows.
Change of Character (CHOCH):
Bullish Trend: Defined by a close above the open and above the 50 EMA.
Bearish Trend: Defined by a close below the open and below the 50 EMA.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy (Long): Activated when several conditions are met, including a bullish change of character, a bullish structure break, the price closing above the previous value plus a multiple of the ATR, and additional confirmations from RSI and volume.
Sell (Short): Activated when several conditions are met, including a bearish change of character, a bearish structure break, the price closing below the previous value minus a multiple of the ATR, with additional confirmations from RSI and volume.
Entry and Exit Signals:
Long Entry (Buy): Executed when the buy conditions are met.
Short Entry (Sell): Executed when the sell conditions are met.
Position Close: Positions are closed when the price crosses below (for long positions) or above (for short positions) the 50 EMA.
Historical Highs and Lows Lines:
The script draws lines of historical highs and lows from the last 288 and 60 periods to show key support and resistance levels on the chart.
Signal Table Across Multiple Timeframes:
The script displays a table in the top-right corner of the chart with indicators like the EMA trend, RSI value, and MACD histogram for timeframes of 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, and weekly.
Precautions:
Does not guarantee profits: Although the script is designed to detect structure breaks and possible trend changes, it does not guarantee 100% profitable signals. The market is always subject to risk and unpredictable volatility.
Requires adjustments for each asset: Parameters such as ATR length and EMA lengths should be adjusted according to the asset being analyzed and market conditions.
Use of additional confirmations: To reduce false signals, the script uses additional confirmations like RSI and volume, but it is always recommended to perform additional analysis before making trading decisions.
Changing trends: The change of character (CHOCH) can be a useful indicator, but it can give false signals in highly volatile markets or during prolonged consolidations.
Relies on historical data: This script relies on historical data to identify highs and lows. It does not consider fundamental events that may significantly impact the market.
Requires constant monitoring: Although the signals are automated, it is important to monitor open positions and make adjustments if market conditions change.
Risk of false signals: In low liquidity markets or consolidations, structure breaks can be false, so it’s recommended to pay attention to any additional confirmation signals or use a proper risk management strategy.
Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.

OG ATR RangeDescription:
The OG ATR Tool is a clean, visualized version of the Average True Range indicator for identifying volatility, stop-loss levels, and realistic price movement expectations.
How it works:
Calculates the average range (in points/pips) of recent candles.
Overlays ATR bands to help define breakout potential or squeeze zones.
Can be used to size trades or set dynamic stop-loss and target levels.
Best for:
Intraday traders who want to avoid unrealistic targets.
Volatility-based setups and breakout strategies.
Creating position sizing rules based on instrument volatility.
Pro Tip: Combine with your trend indicators to set sniper entries and exits that respect volatility.
ATR & PTR TableThe ATR & PTR Table Indicator displays a dynamic table that provides Average True Range (measures market volatility over 1D, 1W, and 1M timeframes), Price trading range (difference between the high and low prices over the same periods) & percentage of the typical range that has been traded. This indicator will help traders identify potential breakout zones and assess volatility across multiple timeframes.
This had been optimized to show ATR and PTR on every time frame. The (1D) represents ATR on whatever timeframe you are currently on.
Price Extreme BandsPrice Extreme Bands Description
This indicator calculates and displays Price Extreme Bands based on an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and True Range Average True Range (TR ATR). It utilizes a custom "Super Smoother" function to smooth the bands, providing a clearer representation of potential price extremes without sacrificing accuracy.
Usage
Built for specifically for intraday timeframes, this indicator identifies short term price extremes and volatility ranges. Traders can observe when price moves towards the outer bands, suggesting strong momentum or potential overbought/oversold conditions. The filled zones highlight areas of increased volatility which can used as exit criteria for a trade, possible reversal points in ranging markets or price ranges where price momentum could slow in trending markets.
Key Features
Length Input: Controls the length of the EMA and TR ATR calculations.
Multiplier Inputs: Uses two fixed multipliers (1.71 and 2.50) to create bands.
Super Smoother: Applies a custom smoothing function to the bands for reduced noise.
Fill Zones: Fills the areas between the inner and outer bands to highlight potential volatility ranges.
Calculation:
1. EMA (Basis): Calculates the Exponential Moving Average of the selected source.
2. TR ATR: Calculates the True Range and then smoothes it using RMA (Rolling Moving Average).
3. Bands: Calculates upper and lower bands using the EMA and ATR, with multipliers of 1.71 and 2.50.
4. Super Smoother: Applies a smoothing function to the calculated bands.
Visuals:
Basis Line: Plots the EMA (basis) (invisible by default).
Inner Bands (1.71 Multiplier): Plots the smoothed bands with a distinct color (e.g., orange) (invisible by default).
Outer Bands (2.50 Multiplier): Plots the smoothed bands with a different color (e.g., purple) (invisible by default).
Fill Zones: Fills the region between the inner and outer upper bands and the inner and outer lower bands with a translucent color (e.g. light blue).
// Note: The plot lines are invisible by default. To view the basis, upper and lower band lines, adjust the visibility settings in the indicator's settings.
Uniqueness: Ready of the box. Code and parameters built specifically for 1m to 15m timeframes provides users with an indicator to easily identify price extremes. The use of TR ATR and addition of the Super Smoother calculation create a easier visualization and implementation compared to existing price band options.
