This indicator plots the CBDR Range on the Chart (Credits go to TFlab)
💎 What Is the Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR)? 💎
In the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Strategy, the CBDR identifies the projected high and low of a trading day. This range is calculated between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM New York time. By observing specific deviations from the average price within this window, traders estimate potential price movements for the next session.
The range is derived from average price action.
Deviation levels above and below this average help forecast price behavior.
These deviations indicate how far prices may extend from the central range.
💎 Ideal Range Parameters for CBDR 💎
To optimize CBDR effectiveness, traders should consider the following:
Range Height: Determined by measuring the highest and lowest price within the CBDR window. It is preferable to use candlestick bodies, although wicks can be considered when body size is minimal.
Optimal Range: The most reliable CBDR measurements occur within a range of 10 to 20 pips, ideally remaining under 40 pips.
Large Ranges: When the range exceeds 40 pips, short-term trades tend to perform more favorably.
💎 Benefits of Implementing CBDR 💎
Using the Central Bank Dealers Range offers multiple advantages:
Improved Price Forecasting: Enhances accuracy in predicting price movements.
Risk Minimization: Enables traders to avoid unfavorable trade conditions.
Higher Success Probability: Identifies high-probability trade setups.
Versatility: Applicable to various assets and timeframes.
💎 How to Apply CBDR in Daily Trading 💎
Each trading day, the market tends to move price 1–2 times the CBDR range against the prevailing trend to gather liquidity. Following this, a directional move in line with the trend often occurs, typically equivalent to four times the CBDR range.
💎 Bearish Market Scenario 💎
On bearish days:
Price may exceed the upper CBDR boundary by a maximum of two units.
A typical move is one unit above the range to collect stop orders.
The projected daily low is often three units below the CBDR, usually forming at the end of the London session.
💎 Bullish Market Scenario 💎
On bullish days:
Price generally drops no more than two units below the CBDR.
A downward movement of one unit is common to gather liquidity.
The projected high of the day appears three units above the CBDR, typically near the London session close.
💎 Best Timeframes for CBDR Strategy 💎
CBDR is most effective on the following intraday timeframes:
15-Minute Chart: Offers precise insight into short-term price fluctuations.
30-Minute Chart: Provides a broader perspective for swing trading and market planning.
💎 Most Suitable Markets and Pairs for CBDR 💎
Originally developed for NASDAQ and S&P 500, the CBDR approach has since been adapted for other financial instruments.
Recommended Currency Pairs:
GBP/USD
EUR/USD
Precious Metals:
XAU/USD
XAG/USD
These markets demonstrate favorable price behavior around the CBDR, making them ideal for this strategy.
Happy Trading!
