FVG Range Filter0x278's FVG Range Filter
Overview
The FVG Range Filter is a TradingView indicator designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart. FVGs are areas of price imbalance that often act as significant zones for potential price retracement or reversal. This indicator filters out irrelevant gaps, showing only those that are within a specified price range and time frame, making it easier to focus on high-probability trading opportunities.
This guide is crafted to help both novice and experienced traders understand how to use this indicator effectively, even if you're new to the concept of FVG trading. We'll cover what FVGs are, how the indicator works, how to interpret its visual elements, and how to apply it in various trading scenarios.
What are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps occur when the price of an asset moves so quickly in one direction that it leaves a 'gap' or 'void' on the chart where no trading activity occurred. These gaps represent areas of imbalance between supply and demand, often created by strong buying or selling pressure. Traders use FVGs to identify potential areas where price might return to 'fill' the gap, offering opportunities for entries or exits.
Bullish FVG : This happens when price jumps upward, leaving a gap below. It suggests strong buying pressure and often acts as a support zone when price retraces.
Bearish FVG : This occurs when price drops sharply, leaving a gap above. It indicates strong selling pressure and often acts as a resistance zone when price retraces.
How the FVG Range Filter Works
The FVG Range Filter indicator automatically detects these gaps based on a specific three-bar pattern that identifies significant price imbalances. It then applies filters to ensure only relevant FVGs are displayed:
Range Filter : Only shows FVGs whose midpoint is within a user-defined percentage of the current price. This keeps the focus on gaps that are close enough to be actionable.
Time Filter : Only displays FVGs that are younger than a specified number of bars, ensuring you're looking at recent and relevant price action.
Invalidation : Once the price trades through the midpoint of an FVG, the gap is considered 'filled' or invalidated, and it is removed from the chart.
This filtering mechanism declutters your chart, highlighting only the most pertinent FVGs for your trading decisions.
Indicator Settings
The FVG Range Filter offers customizable inputs to tailor its behavior to your trading style:
Display Range (%) : This sets the percentage range from the current price within which FVGs are shown. A lower value (e.g., 1.0%) shows only gaps very close to the current price, while a higher value (e.g., 5.0%) includes gaps further away. Default is 1.0%.
Look-back Bars : This determines how far back in time the indicator looks for FVGs. It also limits how long a gap remains visible if it hasn't been invalidated. Default is 1000 bars.
Show Bullish FVGs : Toggle to display bullish FVGs (green boxes by default). Default is enabled.
Show Bearish FVGs : Toggle to display bearish FVGs (red boxes by default). Default is enabled.
Box Opacity (0-100) : Adjusts the transparency of the FVG boxes on the chart. A value of 0 is fully transparent (invisible), while 100 is fully opaque. Default is 33 for a subtle appearance.
Visual Elements and Interpretation
The indicator draws rectangular boxes on your chart to represent FVGs. Understanding these visual elements is key to using the indicator effectively:
Green Boxes : Represent bullish FVGs. These are areas where price gapped upward, suggesting potential support zones. If price retraces to this area, it might bounce off as buyers step in to defend the level.
Red Boxes : Represent bearish FVGs. These are areas where price gapped downward, indicating potential resistance zones. If price retraces to this area, it might face selling pressure and reverse downward.
Box Position and Extension : Each box starts at the bar where the FVG was detected and extends to the right, updating dynamically as new bars form. This extension helps maintain visibility until the gap is either invalidated or falls out of the look-back period.
Disappearance of Boxes : A box disappears from the chart in two scenarios:
Price Moves Away : If the midpoint of the FVG moves outside the specified display range percentage from the current price, or if the FVG becomes older than the look-back bars limit, the box is removed (though the gap data persists in memory for potential re-display if conditions are met again).
Invalidation : If price trades through the midpoint of the FVG (i.e., the low of a candle goes below the midpoint for a bullish FVG, or the high goes above the midpoint for a bearish FVG), the gap is considered filled, and the box is permanently removed from the chart.
Trading Scenarios with FVG Range Filter
Below are detailed trading scenarios to help you understand how to use the FVG Range Filter in practical situations. These scenarios assume you're trading with the trend or looking for reversals at key levels.
Scenario 1: Bullish FVG as Support for Long Entry
Setup : You're trading a stock in an uptrend on a 15-minute chart. The FVG Range Filter displays a green box (bullish FVG) after a sharp upward move earlier in the day.
Interpretation : This green box indicates a zone of imbalance where price gapped up, likely due to strong buying interest. Since it's still within the display range and look-back period, it's a relevant support zone.
Action : Wait for price to retrace back to the top edge of the green box. Look for confirmation of support, such as a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., hammer or engulfing) or increased volume, indicating buyers are stepping in.
Entry : Enter a long position near the top of the FVG box, setting a stop-loss just below the bottom of the box to protect against a breakdown.
Target : Aim for the next resistance level or a predefined risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2). If another bullish FVG forms above, consider that as a potential target.
Exit : Exit the trade if price breaks below the bottom of the FVG (invalidation), or if the box disappears due to price trading through the midpoint, signaling the gap is filled.
Scenario 2: Bearish FVG as Resistance for Short Entry
Setup : You're trading a cryptocurrency on a 1-hour chart during a downtrend. The indicator shows a red box (bearish FVG) after a sharp downward move a few hours ago.
Interpretation : The red box marks a zone where price gapped down, indicating strong selling pressure. As long as it's within the display range and look-back period, it remains a potential resistance zone.
Action : Wait for price to rally back to the bottom edge of the red box. Look for signs of rejection, such as a bearish candlestick pattern (e.g., shooting star or engulfing) or decreasing volume, suggesting sellers are defending this level.
Entry : Enter a short position near the bottom of the FVG box, placing a stop-loss just above the top of the box to guard against a breakout.
Target : Target the next support level or a favorable risk-reward ratio. If a new bearish FVG appears below, it could serve as a potential target.
Exit : Exit if price breaks above the top of the FVG (invalidation), or if the box disappears because price has traded through the midpoint, indicating the gap is no longer relevant.
Scenario 3: Filtering Out Irrelevant FVGs During Choppy Markets
Setup : You're trading forex on a 5-minute chart during a period of consolidation with no clear trend. The chart shows frequent small price jumps, but the FVG Range Filter displays very few boxes.
Interpretation : The indicator is filtering out FVGs that are either too far from the current price (outside the display range percentage) or too old (beyond the look-back bars). This helps avoid false signals in a non-trending market.
Action : Recognize that the absence of FVGs on the chart suggests no high-probability setups at the moment. Avoid forcing trades based on minor price movements that don't meet the filter criteria.
Entry : Wait for a clear trend to emerge and for new FVGs to appear within the filter parameters before considering any trades.
Target/Exit : Follow the trend direction once FVGs are displayed, using the edges of the boxes as potential entry or exit zones as described in the previous scenarios.
Scenario 4: Using FVGs for Risk Management
Setup : You're already in a long position on an index futures contract on a 30-minute chart, and the FVG Range Filter shows a green box below your entry point.
Interpretation : The green box represents a bullish FVG that could act as a support zone. Since price hasn't yet reached the midpoint (which would invalidate the FVG), it remains a valid reference point for managing risk.
Action : Adjust your stop-loss to just below the bottom of the green box. This placement uses the FVG as a logical invalidation level, assuming that a break below this support zone negates the bullish premise of your trade.
Entry : No new entry is needed since you're already in the trade.
Target/Exit : Keep your original target unless a new bearish FVG forms above, which might indicate resistance. Exit if price breaks below the FVG or if the box disappears due to invalidation.
Tips for Using the FVG Range Filter
Combine with Trend Analysis : FVGs are most effective when traded in the direction of the prevailing trend. Use higher timeframe analysis or other indicators to confirm the overall market direction before acting on FVGs.
Adjust Settings for Market Conditions : In volatile markets (like cryptocurrencies), you might increase the display range percentage to capture more FVGs. In less volatile markets (like certain stocks), a tighter range might be more appropriate.
Timeframe Selection : The indicator works on all timeframes, but lower timeframes (1-15 minutes) might show more frequent FVGs for scalping, while higher timeframes (1-4 hours) are better for swing trading with larger, more significant gaps.
Confirmation Tools : Don't rely solely on FVGs for entries. Use additional confirmation from price action (candlestick patterns), volume, or other indicators to increase the probability of success.
Monitor Invalidation : If an FVG box disappears from the chart due to price trading through its midpoint, consider it a signal that the gap is no longer relevant. Adjust your strategy accordingly.
Limitations
Not a Standalone System : The FVG Range Filter identifies potential zones of interest but does not provide entry signals, stop-loss, or take-profit levels on its own. It should be used as part of a broader trading strategy.
Market Conditions : FVGs may be less effective in strongly trending markets where price doesn't retrace to fill gaps, or in very choppy markets where too many small gaps are filtered out.
Lag in Detection : Since FVGs are based on a three-bar pattern, there is a slight delay in identifying them after the price movement has occurred.
Good Luck!
The FVG Range Filter is a powerful tool for traders looking to capitalize on price imbalances in the market. By focusing only on relevant Fair Value Gaps within a specified range and time frame, it helps declutter your chart and highlights high-probability zones for potential trades. Whether you're new to FVG trading or an experienced trader, this indicator can enhance your analysis by visually identifying key areas of support and resistance based on market inefficiencies.
Experiment with the settings to match your trading style and market conditions, and always combine the indicator's insights with other forms of analysis for the best results. Happy trading!

The Quartile Volume portion of the script segments price/volume intervals by quartile.
The image above shows features of the indicator.
For statistics, the following metrics are recorded:
First Quartile
Second Quartile
Third Quartile
90th Percentile

The script colors bars via gradient.
By default, bars are colored lime when volume for the interval is "high" (exceeds upper quartile thresholds). The greener the bar, the higher the volume for the interval.
Bars are colored red when volume for the interval is "low" (fails to exceed lower quartile thresholds). The redder the bar, the lower the volume for the interval.
Naturally, brownish-colored bars reflect a volume interval that concluded near the median.
The image above exemplifies the process. This feature might be useful to categorize / objectively define high-volume clusters, low-volume clusters, high-volume price moves, low-volume price moves, etc.
For greater precision, you can select to color bars by volume quartile they belong to.
The image above shows color-coordinated price bars. More details shown in the image.
Additionally, you can select to plot the quartile/percentile that a price bar belongs to on the chart.
The image above shows price bars numbered by the volume quartile they belong to.
The script will distinguish successive 90th percentile violations, superimpose a linear regression channel atop the data sequence, and record pertinent statistics.
The image above shows the process.
Lastly, the user can plot an anchored VWAP using a built-in time function.
The image above shows the anchored VWAP.
Range US Chart
A Range US chart operates irrespective of time and volume - simply - bars produce after a user-defined price move is achieved/exceeded in either direction. A range us chart produces “trend candles” and “reversal candles”. A reversal candle always moves against the most immediate bar; a trend candle always moves in favor of the most immediate bar. The user defines the dollar amount price must travel up/down for a trend candle to fulfill, and for a reversal candle to fulfill.
Note: if a “down reversal” candle (red) Is produced, it’s impossible for the next candle to also be a down reversal candle - for the downside move to continue the criteria for a down trend candle must be fulfilled. Similarly, if an “up reversal” candle (green) Is produced, it’s impossible for the next candle to also be an up reversal candle - for the upside move to continue, the criteria for an uptrend trend candle must be fulfilled. Consequently, Range US bars frequently trade at the same level for extended periods. This is intentional, as this chart type is theorized to “filter noise” (whether Range US charts fulfill this theory is to your discretion).
Lastly, if an up trend candle (green) is produced, the next candle cannot be up a reversal up candle - only a trend up candle or reversal down candle can produce - vice versa for a trend down candle (the subsequent candle cannot be a reversal down candle). In this sense, an uptrend continues on successive trend up candles; a down trend continues on successive trend down candles.
The image above exemplifies Range US chart functionality.
The lower-right stats table shows the requisite price move for a "Trend" candle to produce and for a "Reversal" candle to produce.
The default settings for this chart time automatically calculate the required "Trend" candle price move and the required "Reversal" candle price move. However, both settings are configurable.
The image above shows manually configured parameters for a trend bar and reversal bar to produce. This feature allows the user to replicate the Range US chart hosted on extrinsic charting platforms.
However, please consider that this script does not use tick data; 1-minute OHLC data is used for calculations.
Consequently, configuring the trend bar and reversal bar requirement too low may return inaccurate data. For instance, if you set trend candles to form after a $1 price move then trend candles will form if price moves up $1 from a green Range US bar or down $1 from a red Range US bar. This is sufficient for lower priced assets; however, if you were trading, for instance, Bitcoin - a $1 price move can happen numerous times in one minute. This script can’t plot bars and record data until a 1-minute bar closes and a new 1-minute bar opens. Further, if Bitcoin moves up $1 twenty times and down $1 twenty times in a 1-minute bar - your Range US chart will record such variations as one price move. This data is inaccurate and likely useless.
To counter this quandary, a warning message will appear if you configure trend bar price moves or reversal bar price moves too low.
The image above shows the concealable warning message.
The image above is a flow diagram (made with shaky hands) illustrating the Range US bar formation process.
A google search will return additional information on the Range US chart type.
Volume Aggregation Bars
TradingView user and member of the TradingView Discord server @ferreirajames informed me of the Volume Aggregation chart type. The user commented in the "Suggestions" channel for the TradingView Discord server asking for the Volume Aggregation chart type. As an interim fix, I tried my hand at recreating the process, which is available in this script.
Similar to the Range US chart type, Volume Aggregation bars aren’t bound to a time-axis; the bars form after a user-defined, cumulative amount of volume is achieved or exceeded. Consequently, once the cumulative amount of volume is achieved or exceeded - a bar is produced at the corresponding price level.
Underlying theory: The chat type is conducive to identifying price levels where traders are “trapped”. Whether the process adequately distinguishes this circumstance is to your discretion.
The image above exemplifies the Volume Aggregation chart type.
Regardless of the current price, Volume Aggregation bars for after a requisite amount of volume is achieved/exceeded. Tick data isn't used; therefore, remainder values are carry over.
By default, the script automatically calculates a proportional cumulative volume total to dictate the formation of Volume Aggregation bars. However, the cumulative threshold is configurable.
The image above shows Volume Aggregation bars forming subsequent a user-defined cumulative volume total being exceeded.
Note: This chart type uses OHLC data from the timeframe of your chart. Therefore, for instance, setting the volume threshold too low will produce inaccurate, useless data.
A warning message will appear for such occurrence.
Gaps
The indicator incorporates a "Gaps" chart type.
The image above shows accompanying features.
A list of all unfilled gaps is accessible - gaps for this list are sorted by distance from current price.
Partially filled gaps are displayed in the corresponding gap box - the percentage amount the gap was filled is also displayed.
Gap statistics show:
# of Gaps
# of Up Gaps
# of Down Gaps
Average # of bars to fill Up Gaps
Average # of bars to dill Down Gaps
Average Gap Up % increase
Average Gap Down % decrease
Cumulative % increase of all Up Gaps
Cumulative % decrease of all Down Gaps
Naturally, there may be gaps formed thousands of bars ago that aren't close to price. Showing these gaps on the chart will "scrunch" the y-axis and make prices indistinguishable.
I've added a setting that allows the user to hide gaps that are "n" % away from the current price. The gap, if unfilled, will reappear when price trades within the user-defined percentage.
The image above shows an example. There's an unfilled down gap that's "hidden" because the current price is a further % away from price than what I've specified in the settings (1%). When prices trade back within 1% of the gap - it will reappear.
The image above shows the process in action. Prices moved back within 1% (can be any %) of the gap; therefore, it reappeared on the chart.
You can also set the % distance a gap must achieve for it to be considered a gap, recorded and plotted. Additionally, you can select to "visualize" gaps. Similar to the Range US chart and the Volume Aggregation chart, this setting will bars reflecting the most recent sequence of gaps - date and percentage distance of the gap are superimposed atop the bar.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like included!
Note: The initial compilation time for this script is.... high. However, once the script's compiled, calculation load times are quick and you can sift through assets and timeframes relatively quick.
There's also a setting to "Improve Load Times" in the user-inputs table. This setting only improves the load times for post-compilation calculations and plots. The initial compilation load time is unchanged. Simply, once the indicator has "first loaded", all subsequent loads are quick.
Thank you! (:

Candle Range 915Candle Range 915 (CR915) is a multi-session visualization tool designed for traders applying Candle Range Theory to intraday decision-making.
This script highlights key range zones formed by the following session-specific candles (based on New York time):
• 9:00 PM – Asia session
• 1:00 AM – London expansion candle
• 5:00 AM – NY continuation/reversal candle
• 8:00 AM – CRT staging candle
• 9:00 AM – CRT decision candle
• 5:00 PM – CBDR (Central Bank Dealers Range)
For each session, the high, low, and optional equilibrium (EQ) levels are plotted with customizable extensions. Labels are placed at the end of each range, and breakout alerts are available for the 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CRT zones.
The script also includes:
Previous Day High/Low reference lines
EQ toggle per session
Dynamic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment
Optional labeling and color control
This tool is built with a time-based narrative in mind and supports traders analyzing structure, order flow, and key liquidity windows across intraday sessions.
Note: This is a visualization tool only. It does not generate signals or make buy/sell recommendations.
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.

Moday Range📈 Monday Range Indicator – A Powerful Tool to Kickstart Your Week
The Monday Range Indicator is designed to help traders identify key price levels established during Monday’s trading session. This range often acts as a crucial zone for price reactions throughout the rest of the week.
What does this indicator do?
🔹 Automatically plots the Monday range
The indicator marks the high and low of Monday, optionally including a midline. This zone helps you spot potential breakouts or rejections in the upcoming sessions.
🔹 Clear visual display on your chart
The Monday range is shown with clean lines or a shaded box, making it easy to see where the market set its initial boundaries.

Why is the Monday Range important?
Monday's price action often sets the tone for the rest of the trading week. It’s when institutions place their early positions and liquidity gets tested. By tracking this range, you can better anticipate potential breakouts, fakeouts, or reversals.
Asia Session Range @mrxautrades🗺️ Asia Session Range by @mrxautrades
🚨 This script is closed-source because it implements a custom logic for session range visualization, deviation projections, and adaptive display based on chart timeframe. No other public script offers this exact functionality.
✅ What does this script do?
This indicator highlights the Asian session range and calculates dynamic extensions during the New York session open. It's designed for traders who rely on price action around key market sessions.
🔧 Unique Features (compared to existing scripts):
Timeframe-aware visibility: The script includes conditional logic to show or hide elements based on the chart timeframe (e.g., only visible on 60-minute or lower charts).
Automatic deviation levels: Calculates and plots extensions above/below the Asian range based on its size, offering projected support/resistance levels in real time.
Adaptive labels: Labels adjust dynamically to chart styling, with options for background, color, and visibility control.
⚙️ Customizable Inputs:
Asian and New York session times
Box, line, and label colors
Number and spacing of deviation levels

Using prior session levels as support/resistance
Intraday traders in Forex, indices, or crypto markets
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

Strong Body Candle (80% of Range)You said:
Strong body candle 80% range
ChatGPT said:
A strong body candle with an 80% range typically refers to a candlestick on a price chart (usually used in technical analysis) where the real body of the candle (the open-to-close price movement) makes up 80% or more of the entire candle’s range (the high-to-low movement).
Breakdown:
Candle Range = High − Low
Body Size = |Close − Open|
Body-to-Range Ratio = (Body Size ÷ Candle Range) × 100
If this ratio is ≥ 80%, the candle is considered to have a strong body.
Interpretation:
A strong bullish candle: Close is near the high, open is near the low — strong buying pressure.
A strong bearish candle: Close is near the low, open is near the high — strong selling pressure.
These candles often signal momentum or trend continuation, especially when occurring after consolidation or at breakout points.
Would you like a script or formula to help detect these on a chart?

🔥 Strong Body Candle (80% Range) — Indicator Description
This indicator highlights candlesticks where the real body constitutes 80% or more of the entire candle's range (High − Low). These candles often represent strong momentum and are useful for identifying potential trend continuations, reversals, or breakout confirmations.
📌 Key Features:
✅ Detects both bullish and bearish strong body candles.
✅ Customizable threshold (default: 80%) for fine-tuning to your strategy.
✅ Visual markers make it easy to spot high-momentum candles on any timeframe.
📊 How It Works:
The script calculates the ratio of the candle's body size (|Close − Open|) to its total range (High − Low). If the ratio is equal to or above 80%, the candle is flagged:
Green Marker = Strong Bullish Candle (Close > Open)
Red Marker = Strong Bearish Candle (Open > Close)
🛠️ Use Cases:
Identify momentum shifts and breakout confirmations.
Use with support/resistance zones or trendlines for stronger signals.
Combine with volume indicators for enhanced precision.

Trend vs Range DetectorMarkets often oscillate between trend phases and range-bound consolidations. Accurately identifying which environment you're in can dramatically improve your strategy's performance — whether you're a breakout trader, trend follower, or mean reversion specialist.
This Pine Script helps do exactly that — with zero clutter, no chart overlays, and a simple, clean table at the top-right corner telling you one thing:
👉 Is the market trending or range-bound?
⚙️ How It Works
The script uses two core metrics to classify the market environment:
1. Slope Sensitivity of Moving Average
A simple moving average (default: 50-period) is used.
The absolute slope of the moving average is calculated.
If the slope exceeds a user-defined sensitivity value, it indicates directional momentum.
2. ATR-to-Price Range Ratio
Measures volatility by comparing Average True Range (ATR) to the total high-low price range over the same period.
A higher ATR relative to the range indicates directional volatility — a trending behavior.
A low ratio signals a choppy or sideways market.
If both conditions are met, the table displays "Trending." If either condition fails, it shows "Range-Bound."
🧠 Why This Matters
Trend Traders: Know when to lean into momentum plays.
Mean Reversion Traders: Avoid whipsaw conditions or capitalize on sideways action.
Volatility Filters: Use this signal to apply different strategies to different market types.
🛠️ User Controls
Moving Average Length: Adjust trend sensitivity by length (default: 50)
Slope Sensitivity: Tune how steep a trend needs to be to qualify
ATR/Range Threshold: Calibrate what defines a volatile enough trend move
Toggle Table On/Off: Keep the chart clean if needed
🧼 Clean Visuals
No lines, no bands, no background colors.
Just a concise table in the top-right corner.
Perfect for scalpers, swing traders, or overlaying on busy strategies.
🔄 Real-Time + Historical
The script dynamically updates with every bar, so it works in real time and shows accurate historical context across any symbol or timeframe.
If you’re someone who wants a minimalist yet powerful insight into market context, this tool can be a game-changer.
Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman) is a precision-built volume-mapping tool designed to help traders visualize where institutional-level activity is occurring within the price range — and how that volume behavior shifts over time.
Unlike traditional volume profiles that rely on fixed session boundaries or static anchors, this tool dynamically calculates and displays volume zones across both the upper and lower ends of a price range, revealing point-of-control (POC) levels, directional volume flow, and a fair value drift line that updates live with each candle.
You’re not just looking at volume anymore. You’re dissecting who’s in control — and at what price.
⚪ In simple terms:
Upper Zone = The upper portion of the price range, showing concentrated volume activity — typically where selling or distribution may occur
Lower Zone = The lower portion of the price range, highlighting areas of high volume — often associated with buying or accumulation
POC Bin = The bin (price level) with the highest traded volume in the zone — considered the most accepted price by the market
Fair Value Trend = A dynamic trend line tracking the average POC price over time — visualizing the evolving fair value
Zone Labels = Display real-time breakdown of buy/sell volume within each zone and inside the POC — revealing who’s in control
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Zones
Upper Zone: Anchored at the highest high in the lookback period
Lower Zone: Anchored at the lowest low in the lookback period
Width is user-defined via % of range
Each zone is divided into a series of volume bins
⚪ Volume Bins (Histograms)
Each zone is split into N bins that show how much volume occurred at each level:
Taller = More volume
The POC bin (Point of Control) is highlighted
Labels show % of volume in the POC relative to the whole zone
⚪ Buy vs Sell Breakdown
Each volume bin is split by:
Buy Volume = Close ≥ Open
Sell Volume = Close < Open
The script accumulates these and displays total Buy/Sell volume per zone.
⚪ Fair Value Drift Line
A POC trend is plotted over time:
Represents where volume was most active across each range
Color changes dynamically — green for rising, red for falling
Serves as a real-time fair value anchor across changing market structure
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Key Control Zones
Use Upper/Lower Zone structures to understand where supply and demand is building.
Zones automatically adapt to recent highs/lows and re-center volume accordingly.
⚪ Follow Institutional Activity
Watch for POC clustering near price tops or bottoms.
Large volumes near extremes may indicate accumulation or distribution.
⚪ Spot Fair Value Drift
The fair value trend line (average POC price) gives insight into market equilibrium.
One strategy can be to trade a re-test of the fair value trend, trades are taken in the direction of the current trend.
█ Understanding Buy & Sell Volume Labels (Zone Totals)
These labels show the total buy and sell volume accumulated within each zone over the selected lookback period:
Buy Vol (green label) → Total volume where candles closed bullish
Sell Vol (red label) → Total volume where candles closed bearish
Together, they tell you which side dominated:
Higher Buy Vol → Bullish accumulation zone
Higher Sell Vol → Bearish distribution zone
This gives a quick visual insight into who controlled the zone, helping you spot areas of demand or supply imbalance.
█ Understanding POC Volume Labels
The POC (Point of Control) represents the price level where the most volume occurred within the zone. These labels break down that volume into:
Buy % – How much of the volume was buying (price closed up)
Sell % – How much was selling (price closed down)
Total % – How much of the entire zone’s volume happened at the POC
Use it to spot strong demand or supply zones:
High Buy % + High Total % → Strong buying interest = likely support
High Sell % + High Total % → Strong selling pressure = likely resistance
It gives a deeper look into who was in control at the most important price level.
█ Why It’s Useful
Track where fair value is truly forming
Detect aggressive volume accumulation or dumping
Visually split buyer/seller control at the most relevant price levels
Adapt volume structures to current trend direction
█ Settings Explained
Lookback Period: Number of bars to scan for highs/lows. Higher = smoother zones, Lower = reactive.
Zone Width (% of Range): Controls how much of the range is used to define each zone. Higher = broader zones.
Bins per Zone: Number of volume slices per zone. Higher = more detail, but heavier on resources.

Focus on breakouts with momentum, using the range as support/resistance.
EMA Price Range by tuanduongEMA Price Range Indicator – Dynamic Range Analysis with Custom EMA (tuanduong2511)
Overview
The EMA Price Range Indicator is designed to help traders visualize the distance between price action and a key Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This indicator dynamically calculates the range from each candle to a user-defined EMA and displays it in a real-time table. By understanding the relationship between price and the EMA, traders can better gauge potential support, resistance, and overextension in the market.
Key Features
✅ Customizable EMA – Allows users to choose the EMA period that best suits their strategy (default: 144).
✅ Real-Time Range Calculation – Computes the absolute difference between the EMA and the price (using the high or low, depending on whether the candle is above or below the EMA).
✅ Minimalist UI – The EMA is plotted directly on the chart, while a small table in the bottom-right corner provides numerical insights, reducing chart clutter.
✅ Versatile Use Cases – Suitable for trend-following traders (identifying pullbacks to EMA) and mean-reversion traders (spotting extended price movements).
How It Works
User-Defined EMA:
The script calculates an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the selected period.
EMA adapts dynamically, giving more weight to recent price movements.
Range Calculation:
If the price is above the EMA, the range is measured from the high point of the candle to the EMA.
If the price is below the EMA, the range is measured from the low point of the candle to the EMA.
This approach ensures that we’re measuring the most relevant distance for price interaction.
Live Table Display:
The current EMA value and the distance (range) from the price are displayed in a small table in the bottom-right corner of the chart.
How to Use It
📌 Trend Traders: Use the indicator to track pullbacks to key EMAs (e.g., EMA 50, 144, or 200). When the price is far from the EMA, it may indicate an overextended trend or potential retracement zone.
📌 Mean Reversion Traders: Look for extreme deviations between price and the EMA. Large distances can signal potential price snapbacks to the mean.
📌 Scalping & Day Trading: Short-term traders can use it with fast EMAs (e.g., EMA 21 or 34) to measure quick price movements relative to short-term momentum.
Why This Indicator?
Unlike traditional EMA indicators, which only plot a moving average, this script provides quantifiable price distance to the EMA, helping traders make data-driven decisions. It allows traders to answer:
✅ Is the price stretched too far from the EMA?
✅ Should I wait for a pullback before entering?
✅ Is the trend strong, or is the price losing momentum?
By integrating EMA-based range analysis, traders gain a clearer understanding of market conditions and can improve their entry, exit, and risk management strategies.

The accuracy of the indicator critically depends on the correct configuration of the times and time zones in the settings. The range label appears near the last bar belonging to the defined session.
Opening Range BreakoutThis is an Opening Range Breakout script. It will plot the opening range high and low (green and red lines, respectively) as determined by the user input (default is a 15 min window from market open, 9:30 - 9:45 am). The time period for the breakout is also configured by a user input (default is from 9:45 am - 2:30 pm).
Alerts are sent for breakouts either above (bullish) or below (bearish) the opening range high and low. An EMA is also used for trend confirmation before sending alerts for breakouts (to avoid false signals).
A bullish breakout is determined by all of the following being true:
- The current price being above the opening range high (green line)
- The EMA trending up (ie the current value of the EMA > prior EMA value)
- The current price is > the EMA
- The EMA is > the opening range high
A bearish breakout is determined by all of the following being true:
- The current price being below the opening range low (red line)
- The EMA trending down (ie the current value of the EMA < prior EMA value)
- The current price is < the EMA
- the EMA is < the opening range low

CandelaCharts - Fractal Range Model📝 Overview
The Fractal Range Model (FRM) is an all-encompassing and sophisticated trading framework that incorporates multiple market dynamics to provide a deeper understanding of price movements.
This model is built around several key principles, including Market Swing Points, Sweeps, Candle Mean, and Change in State of Delivery (CISD), which together offer a nuanced and effective approach to trading.
At its core, the model focuses on Market Swing Points, which represent crucial turning points in the market where price action shifts direction.
These points provide insight into potential reversals and momentum changes, allowing traders to identify key support and resistance areas.
Recognizing these swings is critical in anticipating future price movements and understanding the market’s underlying structure.
The Fractal Range Model (FRM) is a versatile trading strategy that adapts to various styles, whether you're into scalping, day trading, swing trading, or long-term investment. Its flexibility makes it suitable for traders with different time horizons and risk preferences, allowing it to be effectively applied across multiple market conditions.

The Fractal Range Model follows a specific lifecycle, which highlights the current state of the model and determines whether a trade opportunity is valid.
The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:
Formation (grey)
Invalidation (red)
Success (green)
1. Formation
The Formation phase marks the initial setup of the Fractal Range Model. During this stage, the model identifies and plots key components, such as:
Sweeps: Market movements that indicate a potential reversal or strong shift in trend.
CISD (Change In State of Delivery): A structural change that provides insight into trend shifts.
Once these components are detected, the model automatically calculates and displays Projections and Liquidity Levels , offering insights into potential price action movements.
At this stage, the model also identifies and displays the following key elements:
HTF PD Arrays (Higher-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
LTF PD Arrays (Lower-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
If any of these elements are present, they will be automatically displayed on the chart.
2. Invalidation
A Fractal Range Model is considered invalidated when the price does not reach the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level, and when the price breaks above the high that formed the Sweep.
Invalidation signals that the original setup is no longer reliable, and traders should avoid taking action based on the model's original parameters.
Key invalidation conditions:
Price fails to reach the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price fails to reach the first liquidity level.
Price breaks the high/low that initiated the Sweep.
A potentially invalidated model is marked with a purple color above the label, indicating the sweep is invalidated by the next candle, but not the high that formed the sweep.
3. Success
A Fractal Range Model is considered successful when the price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level. This indicates that the model's predictions align with actual market movements, confirming the setup's validity and providing a potential trading signal.
At this stage, alongside Projections and Liquidity levels, you'll also notice the C-area — the region between the current candle's open and the previous candle's mean. If respected, price action will follow the model's direction.
Key success conditions:
Price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price reaches the first liquidity level.
By leveraging these phases, Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can effectively manage their positions, minimize risk, and capitalize on high-probability setups based on the Fractal Range Model.

Smart Range Breakout - SwiftEdgeDescription:
The "Smart Range Breakout - SwiftEdge" indicator is a custom tool designed for identifying potential breakout opportunities on a 1-minute chart, with a focus on volatile markets like the DAX index. This script introduces a unique approach by combining range consolidation detection with volume confirmation and breakout validation, tailored for short-term trading strategies.
How It Works:
The indicator identifies consolidation periods where the price range (difference between the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined length) is below a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This helps detect periods of low volatility, which often precede breakouts.
Once a consolidation is confirmed (minimum number of bars), a green box is drawn on the chart, spanning a fixed length of bars (default 50), representing the potential breakout zone.
Breakouts are signaled only when a candle opens above the upper boundary (box top) or below the lower boundary (box bottom) of the consolidation box, ensuring a clear entry point based on price action at the open.
The script includes a volume filter, requiring volume to exceed a moving average by a specified multiplier, and a confirmation period to validate the breakout over consecutive bars.
To avoid signal clutter, only one breakout signal (up or down) is generated per box, and no further signals are issued until a new consolidation box is formed.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to a 1-minute chart (optimized for DAX or similar volatile indices).
Adjust the "Consolidation Length" (default 5) to set the lookback period for detecting consolidation.
Modify the "Range Threshold (ATR Multiplier)" (default 2.0) to make the consolidation detection more or less strict based on market volatility.
Use "Minimum Consolidation Bars" (default 2) to set the minimum duration of a consolidation phase.
Tune "Confirmation Bars" (default 1) to require more bars to confirm the breakout.
Set "Volume MA Length" (default 5) and "Volume Multiplier" (default 1.1) to filter breakouts with insufficient volume.
Adjust "Max Box Length" (default 50) to control the duration of the breakout zone on the chart.
Look for green triangles below the chart for bullish breakouts and red triangles above for bearish breakouts, occurring when a candle opens outside the box with confirmed volume.
Originality:
This script stands out by integrating a fixed-length consolidation box with an opening-price breakout condition, combined with volume and multi-bar confirmation. Unlike traditional breakout indicators that rely solely on closing prices or simple price thresholds, this approach prioritizes the opening price and limits signals to one per cycle, reducing noise in volatile markets.
Chart Notes:
The accompanying chart displays the indicator's output with green boxes indicating consolidation zones, yellow dots marking consolidation periods, and green/red triangles for breakout signals. No additional scripts or unrelated drawings are included to ensure clarity.
Daily True Range (DTR) vs Average True Range (ATR)Overview
The "DTR vs ATR with Color-Coded Percentage" indicator is a powerful volatility analysis tool designed for traders who want to understand daily price movements in the context of historical volatility. It calculates the Daily True Range (DTR)—the raw measure of a single day’s volatility—and compares it to the Average True Range (ATR), which smooths volatility over a user-defined period (default 14 days). The indicator presents this data in an intuitive table, featuring a color-coded percentage that visually represents how the current day’s move (DTR) stacks up against the average volatility (ATR). This helps traders quickly assess whether the current day’s price action is unusually volatile, average, or subdued relative to recent history.
Purpose
Volatility Comparison: Visualize how the current day’s price range (DTR) relates to the average range (ATR) over a specified period.
Decision Support: Identify days with exceptional movement (e.g., breakouts or reversals) versus normal or quiet days, aiding in trade entry/exit decisions.
Risk Management: Gauge daily volatility to adjust position sizing or stop-loss levels based on whether the market is exceeding or falling short of typical movement.
Features
Daily True Range (DTR) Calculation:
Computes the True Range for the current day as the greatest of:
Current day’s High - Low
High - Previous Close
Low - Previous Close
Aggregates data on any timeframe to ensure accurate daily values.
Average True Range (ATR):
Calculates the smoothed average of DTR over a customizable period (default 14 days) using Wilder’s smoothing method.
Updates in real-time as the day progresses.
Timeframe Flexibility: Works on any chart timeframe (e.g., 1-minute, 1-hour) while always calculating DTR and ATR based on daily data.
Color-Coded Display in either compact or table mode
The percentage value is color-coded in the table based on configurable thresholds:
Safe (default 75): Normal range, within typical volatility
Warning: (default 75-125): Above-average volatility.
Danger (default 125): Exceptionally high volatility
