Trading Range FinderWhat is it?
This indicator is a visual representation of the ADX indicator that shows where the areas of weak trends are. Anything shaded in a gray background implicates that the chosen market is experiencing a weak trend.
These areas of weak trends are seen typically when ADX drops below 20-25 but this script is customizable to change where you want that threshold.
Why did I make it?
I made this indicator to be used in combination with other trading indicators to eventually be used to identify when a market is range-bound/sideways.
Since momentum-based indicators can be "thrown off" in sideways market conditions, I will be using this visual indicator to identify when it is best to filter out a trade signal in a momentum-based strategy.

Michigandolf's 30min Opening RangeThis script plots the 30min Opening Range as well as the previous day's high & low.
Description:
Blue Line = Top of the 30min Opening Range for the session
Pink Line = Bottom of the 30min Opening Range for the session
White Line = Mid-Point of the 30min Opening Range for the session
White Transparent Area = The full range of the 30min Opening Range
Green Line = Yesterday's High for the session
Red Line = Yesterday's Low for the session
Use:
The Opening Range will continue to expand until the first 30minutes of trading has passed, at which point the range will lock in place for the remainder of the trading session. Many traders use these important levels to gauge trade entries and exits (e.g. Mark Fisher's ACD strategy).
This script does not work currently work for futures (e.g. ES, NQ, RTY) due to the session start time. Will configure for futures trading in a future update.
RedK_9/30 Trader_v1: aka The MusicianThis is my implementation of a simple trading system inspired by the 9/30 trading strategy, which i came across few years ago. i hope some traders are still using it :)
(please google "9/30 trading strategy" if you're not sure what it is)
- the improvements i added focus on: faster (long/short) signals, discovery of best entry "zone", ride the trend
- no exit option, trader can use a pre-set target, a trailing stop, or any other mechanisms
- i tried to explain some of the definitions and rules on the below chart
- in spite if its simplicity, the 9/30 has a lot to offer - different traders will also use it differently and add their own "do's and don't's"
default settings should be adjusted to suit timeframe, type of trader and what is being traded (Stocks, FOREX,..etc) - the concept itself is very flexible and well-tested for mechanical trading.
code-named "The Musician" due to the 5-line plot :)
i will continue to improve this work whenever i find time - i liked it a lot.. (please tag the idea to receive the updates)
Extras and improvements (compared to the classic 9/30 concept)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* signal line is a smoothed zero-lag WMA of a shorter length (responds faster to trend change = faster signal)
* instead of a single longer MA line, we utilize an "average range" -based channel (not ATR, but provides the same concept) to provide the ideal "entry zones" in both directions - an adjustable multiplier is included in the settings to adjust the channel width
* adds an optional long EMA as additional filter (take longs only above, take shorts only below)
* clearer visualization
What's next:
==============
* clean-up code
* add signals (arrow-up & arrow-dn) for entry and for exit
* tri-color signal line (green on long, red on short, gray on no trade)
* other options for the channel (ATR-based, DC center-line..etc)
* other MA-type options for the Filter MA (SMA, WMA ?)
* maybe: convert to strategy and back-test
Please feel free to explore and test - Comments and feedback are welcome.
Good Luck!
Williams %RHi! WPR is the Williams percentage range indicator in my design. The main idea is that the intersection of the indicator and the moving average in the overbought and oversold zones + color highlighting gives more clear visual signals for making trading decisions based on this indicator.
Trend Type Indicator by BobRivera990Usage:
The purpose of this indicator is to programmatically determine the type of price trend using technical analysis tools.
You can do a quick check on the asset’s higher and lower time frames. For example, if you are trading on an H1 chart, you can check the m5 chart to ensure that the trend is in the same direction and similarly check the H4 chart to ensure that the higher time frame price is also moving in the same direction.
If multiple time frame charts confirm a similar trend, then it is considered a very strong trend and ideal for Trend trading.
Remarks:
By default, the last status is related to 8 periods before the latest closing price.
Related definitions:
The three basic types of trends are up, down, and sideways.
1. Uptrend
An uptrend describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is upward. The uptrend is composed of higher swing lows and higher swing highs.
Some market participants ("long" trend traders) only choose to trade during uptrends.
2. Downtrend
A downtrend refers to the price action of a security that moves lower in price as it fluctuates over time.
The downtrend is composed of lower swing lows and lower swing highs.
3. Sideways
A sideways trend is the horizontal price movement that occurs when the forces of supply and demand are nearly equal. This typically occurs during a period of consolidation before the price continues a prior trend or reverses into a new trend.
How it works:
Step 1: Sideways Trend Detection
In this step we want to distinguish the sideways trend from uptrend and downtrend. For this purpose, we use two common technical analysis tools: ATR and ADX
1. Average True Range (ATR)
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility.
We also use a 20-period moving average of the ATR.
When the ATR is below the average of its last 20-periods, it means that the rate of price volatility has decreased and we conclude that the current trend is sideways
2. Average Directional Index (ADX)
The average directional index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator used by some traders to determine the strength of a trend.
The trend has strength when ADX is above 25.
So when the ADX is less than or equal to 25, there is no strong trend, and we conclude that the current type of trend is sideways.
Step 2: Detect uptrend from downtrend
If it turns out that the current price trend is not sideways, then it is either uptrend or downtrend.
For this purpose, we use plus and minus directional Indicators (+ DI & -DI).
A general interpretation would be that during a strong trend, when +DI is higher than -DI, it is an uptrend. When -DI is higher than +DI, it is a downtrend.
Parameters:
"Use ATR …" ________________________// Use Average True Range (ATR) to detect Sideways Movements
"ATR Length"_______________________ // length of the Average True Range (ATR) used to detect Sideways Movements
"ATR Moving Average Type" ___________// Type of the moving average of the ATR used to detect Sideways Movements
"ATR MA Length" ____________________// length of the moving average of the ATR used to detect Sideways Movements
"Use ADX ..."_______________________ // Use Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect Sideways Movements
"ADX Smoothing”____________________// length of the Average Directional Index (ADX) used to detect Sideways Movements
"DI Length"_________________________// length of the Plus and Minus Directional Indicators (+DI & -DI) used to determine the direction of the trend
"ADX Limit" ________________________// A level of ADX used as the boundary between Trend Market and Sideways Market
"Smoothing Factor"__________________// Factor used for smoothing the oscillator
"Lag"______________________________// lag used to match indicator and chart

Box Range AlertSimple Script for getting alerts on the crossing of Upper & Lower levels either way.
Good for Free users as they can only use 1 alert at a time. So this indicator will be useful to get alerts on both Breakout Or Breakdowns.
Just add input Price manually and set alerts.
User-Inputed Time Range & FibsGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com).
This one is called User-Inputed Time Range & Fibs.
The idea behind this script is to record the Range Highs and Lows of a User Defined Period, and plot potential Targets based on either Fibonacci Extensions or a Multiple of the Range Size. I created this originally for use with the US Session Initial Balance(From 9:30-10:30AM EST), however it can be set to any time period.
What is Initial Balance? In simple words, Initial Balance (IB) is the price data, which are formed during the first hour of a trading session. Activity of traders forms the so-called Initial Balance at this time. This concept was introduced for the first time by Peter Steidlmayer when he presented the market profile to traders(atas.net).
The IB is monitored as a break-out area for Range Extension traders. The IB High is also seen as an area of resistance and the IB Low as an area of support until it is broken(www.mypivots.com).
As a note, depending on the Time Zone you are in, you may need to manually add or subtract from the Timed Range to match the desired Time. For example in NY Eastern Time, I have to use 8:30-9:30AM to Capture the 9:30-10-30AM IB for ES and NQ. Similarly, I must use 14:30-15:30PM to Capture the 9:30-10-30AM IB for BTC. You will need to make adjustments based on the Time Zone you are located in.
I wanted to give a Special Thanks to @PineCoders for the Custom Rounding Function from Backtesting/Trading Engine--> (), Pinecoders.com for help with Tracking the Highs/Lows--> (www.pinecoders.com), and @TradeChartist for allowing me to use some of the code for the Fibonacci Extensions from his script here--> ().

Trend-Range IdentifierTrend trading algorithms fail in ranging market and Swing trading algorithm fail in trending market. Purpose of this indicator is to identify if the instrument is trending or ranging so that you can apply appropriate trading algorithm for the market.
Process:
ATR is calculated based on the input parameter atrLength
Range/Channel containing upLine and downLine is calculated by adding/subtracting atrMultiplier * atr to close price.
This range/channel will remain same until the price breaks either upLine or downLine.
Once price crosses one among upLine and downLine, then new upLine/downLine is calculated based on latest close price.
If price breaks upLine, the trend is considered to be up until the next line break or no lines are broken for rangeLength bars. During this state, candles are colored in lime and upLine/downLine are colored in green.
If price breaks downLine, the trend is considered to be down until the next line break or no lines are broken for rangeLength bars. During this state, candles are colored in orange and upLine/downLine are colored in red.
If close price does not break either upLine or downLine for rangeLength bars, then the instrument is considered to be in range. During this state, candles are colored in silver and upLine/downLine are colored in purple.
In ranging duration, we display one among Keltner Channel, Bollinger Band or Donchian Band as per input parameter : rangeChannel . Other parameters used for calculation are rangeLength and stdDev
I have not fully optimized parameters. Suggestions and feedback welcome.
SuperTrendRange by DGTSuperTrendRange study attempts to determine the state of the market
• whether a well-established bull/bear trend is present
• whether the market is trading in a range
SuperTrendRange (STR) takes into account the volatility of the market - further details regarding volatility can be found in the description of “Volatility Bands by DGT” study
Due to its similarities to SupertTrend (ST) and Parabolic SAR (SAR), I will try to explain by stating differences between them
SuperTrendRange uses both the ATR (Average True Range) and STDEV (Standard Deviation) as part of its calculations - unlike ST and SAR where they use only ATR
Sensitivity of the indicator is adjusted using the multiplier setting of both ATR and STDEV
Additionally, unlike ST, the source of the basis of SuperTrendRange can be selected among the assets price value or its moving average
Source and Length are adjustable too
The SuperTrendRange, like Parabolic SAR indicator, appears on a chart as a series of dots, either above, below or unlike Parabolic SAR both above and below of the asset's price
A dot placed
- below the price when the market is trending upward
- above the price when it is trending downward
- both above and below when the price starts moving sideways – this is a feature that both SuperTrend and Parabolic SAR misses, where they are known to produce false signals and losing trades, whereas SuperTrendRange emphasis the zones of the ranges occurring and in most cases are considered no trade recommended zones. Please note that the range width may vary depending on how the market is volatile. It is up to the users to trade if it fits their trading strategies
Dots plotted above and below can be assumed as Support and Resistance levels

Hancock - Renko Brick ProductionThis is the accompanying script that shows how many renko bricks were produced in each direction per candle. It gives a basic indication of volatility, some might find it useful.
Happy trading
Hancock
Hancock - RenkoThis is the first release of Renko indicator.
Renko is plotted over candles and best calculates the number of Renko bricks printed up or down per candle which can be viewed from the data window. It plots the high and low of a the bricks, if numerous bricks are printed on a candle, as well as the open and close of a Renko brick.
This will be actively developed and improved over the next few months and i will be basing other indicators from this Renko.
Happy trading

Normailzed CandleThis indicator normalizes Day's candle with Open. Idea is to see the daily movement in the context of the Open of the Day.
Larry Williams talks about Open being the most important price of the day. Hence, this indicator.
The Green line is average Open-to-High for occurrences of Red days. The Red line is average Open-to-Low for occurrences of Green days.
Average are not perfect calculations since occurrences(of Red or Green) will vary within the time-span used for averages.
These can used to gauge likelihood of the intra-day price reversal. If the price exceeds green/red line, there is higher likelihood of the price closing above/below open.
The blue lines are average Open-to-close for Green and Red occurrences.
Be careful on days where consecutive 3rd Highest High or Lowest Low day is made and also on the next day after such day. Prices may turn direction at least for a short while.
The precursor to this script of the Candle Infopanel script. That script was just numbers in panel and this is a graphical representation. I
Some of the calculations from original script are commented here because it would make visuals clutters (and probably the left-out calculation are not critical to making trade decisions!)

Azimuth Dynamics
Scalping tool for help finding potentially high probability reactive levels. I suggest using on a 5min chart.
GRAY BAND: yesterday's High-Low range
BLUE BAND: today's Developing Range. Mean of today's High-Low range so far and yesterday's High-Low range, this is calculated for each of today's bars
THIN BLUE LINE: the mean of today's range median and yesterday's range median.
Note: we do not use the DAILY bar via 'security()' to obtain today's high and low. This would essentially be forward looking, instead we use iteration to check from the current bar back to midnight, bar by bar. This then allows a developing range to be established as the day prints new highs and lows.
Inspired by volatility trading textbook.

MG - Range trader - 1.0This one is a bit of an experiment..
The theory is, if you have an asset that you firmly believe will rise in the future for fundamental reasons and are happy to hold until that happens i.e. a be a position trader, you can take advantage of market volatility at the same time in a relatively safe way, so theoretically, you profit when the price goes up or down
E.g. You have $1000, an asset in which you want to become a position trader and you are happy to either make more money or more of the asset as you believe that will make you more money in the future, you could wait until a decent retracement, maybe around a good support level, then buy $500 of the asset and simply sell if it goes up by X, buy if it goes down by X. If you keep doing this, you will end up with either with more of the asset or more money. You have a sure gain either way (if you are happy to have either money or asset)
There are some considerations:
The higher the trade size, the faster profit compounds and the faster you exhaust your available buys and sells
- E.g. If asset is $100, you have $500 and you plan to buy / sell every $10 change, if the asset drops straight to $40, your last buy will be at $50, at which point, the asset is still dropping. But it you only plan to buy / sell $5 every $10 price, you will be able to buy right down to 0.
In times of strong trend, it may be better to avoid this approach altogether as there may not be so much oscillation or at least to use a small if not minimum order size.

True Rolling Pivot Range IndicatorHere is the actual 3 day rolling pivot range indicator as detailed in Mark Fisher's book The Logical Trader.
Renko Price Bars Overlay// Shows the price renko bars (or range bars) instead of the PERIOD renko
// bars that are integrated into Trading View. The normal renko bars that
// Trading View offers only consider the drawing of a new brick when the
// price closes above or below the required brick size. This can produce
// misleading charts since depending on the time interval of a chart, new
// bricks may or may not be drawn. True price renko bars will draw a new
// brick immediately upon the price exceeding the next target brick size.
// When running this script in "Traditional" mode, the painting of the
// brick overlay band is INDEPENDENT of the chart interval. If price
// exceeds the required target price for the next brick, the band is
// updated immediately, instead of waiting for the price bar on the chart
// interval to close first. The brick starting anchor point will attempt
// to be a "nice number" at a round interval for the chart ticker. For
// example, if viewing EURUSD with the box size equal to 50 ticks/pips,
// the open and close prices will take the form of 1.2100, 1.2150, 1.2200,
// 1.2250, and so on. This is the same behavior as the normal traditional
// Renko bars in Trading View and other major trading platforms such as
// Meta Trader.
// Use the tick size in traditional mode to specify the block size, in
// ticks. This may give interesting results in FOREX pairs... as the tick
// size in Trading View may be 0.00001 instead of the normal pip size of
// 0.0001, so a 10 pip block size may be '100', and not the expected '10'.
// FOREX futures should work in the manner expected, a 10 pip block size
// will indeed equal 0.0010.
// The "ATR" mode functions differently than the Trading View built in
// version. The block size is updated each time the range is exceeded.
// In Trading View, when using the ATR mode, the ATR is the last ATR
// value calculated on the ENTIRE data interval, and is applied to all
// past data. You can see this when you press the '+' sign of the ticker
// in the top left of the chart window and you will see the brick size
// as a constant, the brick size is not a function of the ever changing
// ATR value of the price action. The block size of this script is not
// updated for each price candle (i.e. each 1HR on a 1HR chart), instead
// it is updated only when the price thresholds are exceeded requiring a
// the band to be updated. At that point the current ATR is considered
// and the brick size is updated.
// Options exist to show the current high and low of the brick, and to
// show the required levels that the price must exceed to draw a new
// brick and update the band.
Please leave comments if you notice any bugs or would like any new features added. I don't find much use for plotting the H/L of the current renko candle, but I have seen some request it in the past.
Cheers.
Market Meanness Index-Price ChangesThis is the Market Mean index. It is used to identify if the market is really trending or if it is range bound(random). In theory, a random sample will be mean reverting 75% of the time. This indicator checks to see what how much the market is mean reverting and converts it to a percentage. If the index is around 75 or higher than the price curve of the market is range bound and there is no trend from a statistical standpoint. If the index is below 75 this means the price curve of the market is in fact trending in a direction as the market is not reverting as much as it should if it were truly following a random/range bound price curve.
2% candlePart of my strategy involves entering a trade based on a candle on a 5-min chart being < 2% (ignoring major volatility).
I got tired of calculating the range of a single candle either in my head or on a calculator, so I wrote this up. Feel free to share it.
Shows the %move of any single candle, default horizontal lines are 1% & 2%, can be changed by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator after you have added the indicator to your chart. Works on any timeframe, 5m, 1h, 1d, etc , obviously
the higher the timeframe, the larger the move.
