Volume DensityA group of two indicators:
The "Volume Density" shows how much volume was thrown out relative to the covered price range.
The "Volume Density Bars" shows the same, but with colour on top of the bar chart.
[RS]Detrended Percent Price Over Average on RangeExperimental:
Detrended Price oscillator from price against the average inside the range.
Time rangesThis script visualizes the different time sessions during the day.
The time ranges are set to the default Frankfurt, London, NY, Sydney and Tokyo, but can be
freely modified and turned off (I personally use to display only Tokyo and NY).
If you are a day trader, e.g. you trade with the Market Makers, this tool is a "must have".
It also displays the day of the week, which can be set off as well.

PS I chose this script to belong to the "volatility" category since it can be used to highlight the Asian session,
and there was no suitable category available.
New median and range expansionIndicator for starting chasing the trend early.
Indicates new higher or lower candle median in conjunction with greater range.
Average True Range (ATR %) Stop Loss CalculatorThis indicator takes the average of a series of ATR to calculate what I would consider an optimum stop loss placement represented in percentage (read below for full overview).
While the data is plotted what is most helpful are the actual numbers presented and for my charts I remove most of the plotting.
This indicator is most helpful on the daily timeframe but can be used for all timeframes such as the 4HR, 1HR or even 15M.
This indicator should not be used alone. It should be used in conjunction with proper price action analysis. It’s also a great indicator if you chart using Value Channels. Ideally you want your stop placement to be below at least one core Value Channel boundary range. In addition to standard support and resistance and some key moving averages the market respects. This also works best when trading with the prevailing BIAS of the instrument (bull or bear).
Cryptos: Generally, that means you’re buying on retracements that fit the end of a structured move. The other option is using this in a clear up trending market where the pull backs are clearly being supported with buying.
FOREX: I built another indicator for FOREX search: ATRPIPS with SL
WTI: Helpful but I have different rules for when I trade WTI. I rely upon VCs and diagnal VCs much more when trading this.
Equities: Helpful but with the increase of volatility as well as uncertainty of Bias of the market-- this should be used as more of a guide than
What is most important is the actual percentage numbers but I've found graphing 1-3 of the actual ATRs is helpful. The rest just uncheck the checkbox in the options.
Indicator Overview:
Value 1 - 3 Period ATR (maroon)
Value 2 - 7 Period ATR (green)
Value 3 - 30 Period ATR (blue)
Value 4 - 90 Period ATR (blue, bold)
Value 5 - 1 Period ATR (green)
Value 6 - 1 Period ATR (red)
Value 6 – Prime Stop Loss Placement (maroon). This is the average of all above ATRs multiplied by 1.5
Value 7 - Move Left (red). Experimental value. This is the difference between (prime stop loss) and 1 day period move. Two ways to use this value. Use as a tighter stop loss placement. The other option is to use as a retrace target for purchase and using the Prime Stop Placement value as you’re stop loss.
All ATRs use the LOW price of the period. After testing both the low and close I’ve settled on the low to capture the most volatility you will typically experience.
Once again, this indicator should be used in conjunction with your proven trade system.
Also, by knowing what the values are within the indicator you could just eye ball what would be the best stop placement depending on the ATR or 1 or 2 ATRs you find most represent the volatility of what you are trading.
I will be expanding on this indicator by bringing in average measured moves as well as volume analysis and most likely with color changes and modifications.
Background:
While using and refining my trade system I've noticed that most moves happen in 3 periods. So we start there. The 7 period is good for a 24 hour market such as crypto (although weekend trading can be a hit or miss) and to some extent FOREX. The longer periods of 30 & 90 are to smooth out the data set. The final value of the 1 period is to bring a little more recency to the calculation.
Why multiply the average by 1.5? I've found in my own trading and system I built to be the best placement (in conjunction with VCs) to ensure you're stop isn't to close and is within the instrument you are trading volatility .
I'm looking at making this more intelligent as well as take into account volume and structured moves.
ATR 0.5 & 0.7 rangesIt good to look to ATR on intraday trading.
According to our team research only 4.8% of days security goes out of their ATR.
So we developed ATR indicator which shows Daily ATR ranges on smaller time frames.
When price crosses 70% of previous day ATR is good to look for signal to trade backward.
Breakout Scalper (Session)This is a twist on my on my Breakout Scalper strategy that limits trading to a user-configurable session
Find the original "Continuous" version of the scalper here:
The breakout scalper is based on "slow" and "fast" donchian periods. In this version, the "slow" donchian is in fact the Day's high/low. This important difference means that we will always be entering our trades at the day's high or low, so you are exposed to the price making new highs/lows but not to oscillations within the day's range.
Furthermore, the scalper is modified to only enter trades after the start of the user-configured session. Any open trades are closed at the end of the user-configured session. The default session is set to 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM because that's when I like to trade.
0.382 Fibonacci Line of Trailing 1-year Price RangeYou may try adding this Line to your daily charts. It represents the 0.382 Fibonacci level of the trailing 1-year Price Range.
If price is above this line, then it is in Bullish Territory and long entries can be looked for.
According to backtesting I've done, price being above the 0.382 Fibonacci and/or the 200d sma are the 2 best determinants of
qualifying an equity to be in Bullish Territory on the daily chart.

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.

Opening Range and Market BoundariesOpening Range and Market Boundaries
This versatile and insightful indicator combines two powerful concepts frequently used by professional traders: Opening Range Analysis and Market Boundaries derived from previous high/low levels. It is specifically designed to support intraday trading strategies and helps you identify key price zones for entries, exits, and breakout confirmations.
🔍 Features & Utility
1. Opening Range Box
What it does:
Highlights the high and low of the first candle after market open (9:15 AM IST) with a shaded box. This box spans the full trading session, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, representing the key price range where the initial balance is formed.
Timeframe Compatibility:
The Opening Range box is optimized for 1-minute to 1-hour charts. It is most effective on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m) where intraday price movements and breakout patterns can be clearly observed.
Usage Tips:
Breakouts above or below the Opening Range box can signal potential directional bias for the rest of the trading day.
Price consolidating within the range may indicate a choppy or range-bound session.
Works well with volume and momentum indicators for confirmation.
2. Market Boundaries
What it does:
Plots horizontal lines at:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
Why it matters:
These levels act as natural support and resistance zones, and are commonly watched by institutional traders, making them crucial for:
Spotting reversals or breakouts
Planning stop-loss and target zones
Avoiding trades around high-rejection areas
Customization Options:
Toggle ON/OFF for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels.
Independent colors and line thickness for each level, enabling you to distinguish between different timeframes easily.
🛠️ How to Use Effectively
Use during market open:
Switch to a 5-minute or 15-minute chart during the first few candles of the session. Observe the Opening Range box formation and plan trades based on breakout direction.
Confluence Trading:
Look for price action near previous session highs/lows in confluence with the Opening Range box edges. These intersections often become high-probability zones for breakouts or reversals.
Session Preparation:
Before the market opens, analyze where the price is relative to past high/low boundaries. If it's near a weekly/monthly level, be cautious — those areas can cause whipsaws or false breakouts.
Avoid low-volume breakouts:
Use this indicator in conjunction with volume tools or price action confirmation to validate the strength of a move outside the Opening Range or Market Boundaries.
📌 Summary
This indicator is designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who want a reliable structure to guide their decisions. It visually marks the opening balance of the market and essential higher timeframe boundaries, helping you trade with discipline and precision.
[blackcat] L3 Twin Range Filter ProOVERVIEW
The L3 Twin Range Filter Pro indicator enhances trading strategies by filtering out market noise through a sophisticated dual-range approach. Unlike previous versions, this script not only provides clear visual indications of buy/sell signals but also incorporates a dynamic trend range filter line. By averaging two smoothed exponential moving averages—one fast and one slow—the indicator generates upper and lower range boundaries that adapt to changing market conditions. Traders can easily spot buy/sell opportunities when the closing price crosses these boundaries, supported by configurable alerts for real-time notifications.
FEATURES
Dual-Range Calculation: Combines fast and slow moving averages to create adaptive range boundaries.
Customizable Parameters:
Periods: Adjustable lengths for fast (default 9 bars) and slow (default 34 bars) moving averages.
Multipliers: Coefficients to modify the distance of the trailing lines from the price.
Dynamic Trend Range Filter Line: Visually displays buy/sell signals directly on the chart.
Trailing Stop Loss Logic: Automatically follows price movements to act as a trailing stop loss indicator.
Trade Signals: Clearly indicates buy/sell points with labeled signals.
Alerts: Configurable notifications for buy/sell signals to keep traders informed.
Visual Enhancements: Colored fills and dynamic boundary lines for easy interpretation.
HOW TO USE
Add the L3 Twin Range Filter Pro indicator to your TradingView chart.
Customize the input parameters:
Price Source: Choose the desired price source (e.g., Close).
Show Trade Signals: Toggle on/off for displaying buy/sell labels.
Fast Period: Set the period for the fast moving average (default 9 bars).
Slow Period: Set the period for the slow moving average (default 34 bars).
Fast Range Multiplier: Adjust the multiplier for the fast moving average.
Slow Range Multiplier: Adjust the multiplier for the slow moving average.
Monitor the plotted trend range filter and dynamic boundaries on the chart.
Identify buy/sell signals based on the crossing of price and range boundaries.
Configure alerts for real-time notifications when signals are triggered.
TRADE LOGIC
BUY Signal: Triggered when the price is higher than or equal to the upper range level. The indicator line will trail just below the price, acting as a trailing stop loss.
SELL Signal: Triggered when the price is lower than or equal to the lower range level. The indicator line will trail just above the price, serving as a trailing stop loss.
LIMITATIONS
The performance of this indicator relies on the selected periods and multipliers.
Market volatility can impact the accuracy of the signals.
Always complement this indicator with other analytical tools for robust decision-making.
NOTES
Experiment with different parameter settings to optimize the indicator for various market conditions.
Thoroughly backtest the indicator using historical data to ensure its compatibility with your trading strategy.
