Consolidation and Range PatternHello Traders!
The TRN Consolidation and Range Pattern indicator utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition to pinpoint consolidation zones in real-time with unparalleled precision. The rectangle pattern, also known as a trading range or a consolidation pattern, is characterized by horizontal lines that act as support and resistance levels, creating a rectangular shape.
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify consolidations and ranges. The special swing-based pattern recognition and the numerous built-in premium features make this indicator unique. Below, you'll find a list of these features.
Feature List
Real-time consolidation/range detection
Visualization of entry, stop-loss and take-profit levels
Pattern performance statistics
Calculation of risk rewards ratio
Risk Management
Breakout alerts
Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for consolidation patterns, since everything is done automatically for the trader: Finding the consolidation, looking and alerting for a breakout, computing the entry, stop loss and take profit levels as well as handling the risk management and computing the optimal order quantity. Now, we describe how a combination of these features enhances the trading performance of confirmed consolidation patterns.
How to Trade with the TRN Consolidation and Range Pattern
Identify the Pattern
Add the TRN Consolidation and Range Pattern to your chart and look for the pattern on the asset and timeframe of your choice. The pattern is detected in real-time. If the pattern develops further in the next bars, then the indicator updates the consolidation zone until a breakout is confirmed.
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is in the making (Pattern active), confirms a breakout to the upside (B/O Up Confirmed) or confirms a breakout to the downside (B/O Down Confirmed). By selecting the "Unconfirmed" option, you will receive notifications when a pattern breakout occurs, even if it is not yet confirmed. This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities that are still awaiting confirmation.
Check Pattern Statistics
The pattern statistics make it easy for you to see how successful a pattern is on the asset and timeframe you are watching. You should always check them out before entering a trade. The chart displays the statistics in the upper right corner. These statistics are categorized into two sections: "long" for patterns with an upward breakout and "short" for patterns with a downward breakout.
In the initial columns, labeled as "short" and "long", the identified breakouts are further divided based on whether the risk-reward ratio (R) is below a specified value (< x) or equal to/greater than the specified value (>= x). The following columns represent the count of the events:
1. Occ. (Occurrence) categorized according to the values of R from the first column
2. TP1, TP2, TP3 (Take Profit) - targets 1, 2 and 3
3. SL (Stop Loss)
4. T/O (Time Out) - neither stop loss or targets where hit in a certain amount of time
Breakout – Entry, Stop Loss and Targets
The indicator automatically displays the entry price line (EP) in grey et the point where the price breaks through the resistance or support levels, indicating that the consolidation period is over. Once a breakout has been confirmed, place a buy order near the EP level for a long position, or a sell order for a short position. Set your stop-loss at the price level of the red stop-loss line (SL) and set your take-profits at the price level of the green take-profit-lines (TP1, TP2, TP3). Note that your risk-reward ratio (R) was calculated based on TP1.
Risk Management
The TRN Consolidation and Range Pattern comes with a built-in risk management feature. Just go to the settings and scroll down to the section "Risk Management".
Here you can enter your Account Size and the percentage you want to Risk when you enter a position after a pattern breakout.
In the "Trade Management" section, you have the option to define the minimum accepted risk-reward ratio for confirmed rectangles. This means that breakouts of patterns failing to meet the minimum risk-reward ratio will not be considered as confirmed signals.
If a breakout gets confirmed, the indicator automatically calculates the position size (Quantity). You can read the quantity from the gray entry point line (EP), which is located to the right of the risk-reward ratio (R).
Customization and Settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns at the same time. Adjust the consolidation sizes in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger consolidations. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for the consolidation detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss. Look for a tolerance level that leads to favorable statistics and focus on trading patterns with a proven performance history.
Finally, you have the flexibility to customize various visual elements, such as the color of the pattern and whether to display values like price, target, or risk-reward ratio on your chart. You can also choose where these values appear.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the consolidations and ranges utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. Furthermore, the detection of equal lows or highs which form a support or resistance level is based on a dynamic volatility measurement similar to the ATR. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

Consolidation-breakout
Range Finder [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
The "Range Finder " indicator aims at identifying and visualizing price ranges within a specified number of candles. By utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) indicator and Simple Moving Average (SMA), it detects potential breakout conditions and tracks consecutive candles that remain within the breakout range. This indicator offers flexibility by allowing users to customize settings such as range length, method for determining range breaks (based on either candle close or wick), and visualization options for displaying range breaks on the chart.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Ranges: The Range Finder automatically adapts to the market by continuously evaluating the Average True Range (ATR) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA). This helps in dynamically adjusting the range based on market volatility.
Range Length: Users can specify the number of candles to be used for constructing the range via the "Range Length" input setting. This allows for customization based on trading strategies and preferences.
Range Break Method: The indicator offers the flexibility to choose between two methods for identifying range breaks. Users can select between "Close" or "Wick" based on their preference for using the closing price or the highs and lows (including wicks) of candles for defining the breakout.
Show Range Breaks: This option enables visual representation of range breaks on the chart. When activated, labels with the letter "B" will appear at the breakout point, colored according to the breakout direction (upward breakouts in the chosen up range color and downward breakouts in the chosen down range color).
Range Color Customization: The indicator provides the ability to personalize the visual appearance of the range by selecting preferred colors for ranges indicating potential upward and downward breakouts.
🔶 Disclaimer
It's important to understand that the Range Finder indicator is intended for informational purposes only and should not be solely relied upon for making trading decisions. Trading financial instruments involves inherent risks, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
TrendCylinder (Expo)█ Overview
The TrendCylinder is a dynamic trading indicator designed to capture trends and volatility in an asset's price. It provides a visualization of the current trend direction and upper and lower bands that adapt to volatility changes. By using this indicator, traders can identify potential breakouts or support and resistance levels. While also gauging the volatility to generate trading ranges. The indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders navigating various market conditions by providing a sophisticated blend of trend-following and volatility-based metrics.
█ How It Works
Trend Line: The trend line is constructed using the closing prices with the influence of volatility metrics. The trend line reacts to sudden price changes based on the trend factor and step settings.
Upper & Lower Bands: These bands are not static; they are dynamically adjusted with the calculated standard deviation and Average True Range (ATR) metrics to offer a more flexible, real-world representation of potential price movements, offering an idea of the market's likely trading range.
█ How to Use
Identifying Trends
The trend line can be used to identify the current market trend. If the price is above the trend line, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if the price is below the trend line, it indicates a bearish trend.
Dynamic Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands (including the trend line) dynamically change with market volatility, acting as moving targets of support and resistance. This helps set up stop-loss or take-profit levels with a higher degree of accuracy.
Breakout vs. Reversion Strategies
Price movements beyond the bands could signify strong trends, making it ideal for breakout strategies.
Fakeouts
If the price touches one of the bands and reverses direction, it could be a fakeout. Traders may choose to trade against the breakout in such scenarios.
█ Settings
Volatility Period: Defines the look-back period for calculating volatility. Higher values adapt the bands more slowly, whereas lower values adapt them more quickly.
Trend Factor: Adjusts the sensitivity of the trend line. Higher values produce a smoother line, while lower values make it more reactive to price changes.
Trend Step: Controls the pace at which the trend line adjusts to sudden price movements. Higher values lead to a slower adjustment and a smoother line, while lower values result in quicker adjustments.

Consolidation Spotter Multi Time FrameThis tool is designed for traders looking to spot areas of consolidation on their charts across various time frames. It highlights these consolidation areas using visually appealing boxes, making it easier to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones.
How To Use:
Spotting Consolidation: When you see a box form on your chart, this represents a consolidation zone. Within this zone, the price is moving sideways without a strong upward or downward trend.
Anticipating Breakouts & Breakdowns: Watch the price as it approaches the edges of the box. A movement outside the box can signal a potential breakout (if above the box) or a breakdown (if below the box). This is where momentum shifts can happen.
Momentum Confirmation: Once the price clearly moves out of the box, it indicates a momentum shift. If the price moves upwards out of the box, this can be seen as bullish momentum. Conversely, if the price moves downwards out of the box, this can be seen as bearish momentum.
To use the tool effectively, adjust the settings to suit your trading style, choose your preferred visual theme, and watch as the script highlights key consolidation areas on your chart.
Tip: To visualize fractals, consider using multiple instances of the "Consolidation Spotter" indicator, each set to a different timeframe. This approach allows you to observe consolidations nested within larger consolidations, offering deeper insights into market structures. 😉
Consolidation BoxThis script aims to help identify sideways markets. Once price leaves the Box the market will usually start a trending phase. Users can set a percent range to detect markets moving sideways within the range.
Consolidation and Breakout (Inside Bars)Consolidation indicates moments of market indecision when there is no shift in price. It is neither positive nor negative. Usually, after a price burst or strong trend movement that market falls back into a phase when traders are cautious about possible overbought or oversold positions. During this period, market reconciles before another breakout or trend emerges. Once you have identified consolidation, the next step is to keep an eye on a possible breakout.
This indicator would be useful for Breakout traders.
A candle's high and low is marked and if consequent candle fails to close above or below the marked candle, it's considered as an inside bar.
This can help breakout traders in tackling fakeouts since the wick above or below the initial candle are neglected and only the candle close above or below the range are considered as breakout.
Accumulation_&_Distribution_Aka_ConsolidationZone - BasicDear Traders,
It so happens to the traders that once in their lifetime journey they be sure to here the below statement.
1. I got struck in the consolidation zone
2. Signals from technical indicators failed because prices were consolidating.
3. Its pretty tuff to detect consolidation zone. (programmatically)
I don't know about other but I have heard this throughout my trading journey. Hence I started to debug the above 3 statements and came up with this indicator which detects consolidation zones in the chart.
there are 3 inputs settings
1. ATR multiplier = can be used to filter the consolidation box height. higher the value bigger the box (vertical view) and smaller the value smaller the box height.
2. Show Last No of Zones = set the No of previous zones you would like to see.
3. Consolidation Size = If set to small. all kind of sizes will be plotted ( majorly works for day trading) if set to wide, script looks for major consolidation zones (majorly works for higher timeframes). if set to medium, script looks medium size to wide size zones majorly for timeframe with more than 30 min.
What's this indicator is taking into account?
1. Moving Averages
2. Linear Regression curves
3. ATR
4. BB
5. BBW
6. Couple of Math calculation to support the zone identification.
Note: Plz do suggest for any kind of improvements or feedbacks.
Regards

Consolidation Zone Hunter NPR BasedThis script will search for zones where the range between the high and low is lower than avg % nearest rank of last X bars.
After X(=30) bars of consolidating range it will signal that the market is in a range and draw the top, bottom and middle of that range.
When price breaks the consolidating range the range is cleared, this is where you long/short the breakout. After this it will look for the next range and do the same.
Visual Explanation
Three Week Tight Pattern IndicatorThree Week Tight Pattern is a consolidation indicator which give extra buy point on strong fundamental stocks. You can read about it from IBD here: www.investors.com
Support and Resistance V1 This script is based on Range Support and Resistance .
It works by taking the range of the day,week and month calculating them and plotting 3 layers of Support and Resistance , as soon as it gets non directional /range bound , bar color turns GRAY if its in Bullish Trend and Pink if its in Bearish Trend .. As soon as bar turns Aqua it defines BULLISH Trend and RED bar color defines Bearish Trend . This way you can easily visualize the areas of support and resistance .

Consolidation and Breakout detectorExperimental : This script identifies the consolidation of a stock for selected time period. The consolidation period and range can be configured. 2 levels of consolidation levels can be selected. i.e Strong and medium. The range for strong and medium level of consolidation can also be configured by the user.
A movement in the direction of breakout of the consolidation level is observed most of the times. I have also added reversal line/stoploss line, so that the breakout movement is cancelled once that line is crossed by the candle close.
Currently consolidation levels are configured for 5 minute chart NSE:BANKNIFTY OANDA:NAS100USD . Can be reconfigured easily for any timeframe.
Consolidation Zones - LiveHello Traders!
This is the script that finds Consolidation Zones in Realtime.
How it works?
- The script finds highest/lowest bars by using "Loopback Period"
- Then it calculates direction
- By using the direction and highest/lowest bar info it calculates consolidation zones in realtime
- If the length of consolidation area is equal/greater than user-defined min length then this area is shown as consolidation zone
- Then Consolidation Zone extends automatically if there is no breakout
if you increase the Loopback Length then you get bigger consolidation zones:
You have option to "Paint Consolidation Area" or not:
Enjoy!
[astropark] I Love GannDear Followers,
yet another great tool! Gann was historically a great trader, who strictly followed his theory and died so rich!
Gann Fan is a great indicator: it draws a series of trendlines from important highs and lows in the chart and, as you will see from the chart itself, price action feels those trendlines, which acts as support and resistance !
Once a trendline is broken up, price tends to go upper to the next one, while the contrary happens when a trendline is broken down.
Here an example on BTCUSD:
Here an example on EURUSD:
This indicator
draws for you the Gann Fan, you don't need to do anything !
works on both cryptocurrencies, stocks and forex charts
works on every timeframe, but I suggest you to use it on high timeframes, where it's more reliable
lets you select the starting and the ending day-time from which and to which you want to see gann fans
lets you make trendlines be drawn dashed if you like, as well as you can edit their width
Range Indicator - Bitcoin BeatsHello, Hello, Hello,
And welcome back to Bitcoin Beats.
Today I'm going to show you my Ranges Indicator. Designed initially for breakouts but an analysts mind quickly spots the other uses for this indicator.
If we are consolidating (which is most of the time) a good strategy to trade would be to trade ranges. However, as soon as you spot the range it can feel like the range has changed so you lose out on making the monies.
This indicator plots out the average range in a consolidation allowing you to take action and make those monies.
I've highlighted a profitable strategy in the picture that means you can make money on bitcoin when it goes sideways.
Usually if it is appearing volatile, you can go to a higher time frame and find the exact range it's catering to, adjusting your strategy accordingly.
The strategy I've highlighted in accordance with this indicator is longing AND shorting from the center point of a range and cashing out either side until the range breaks.
If you'd like a trial, please leave a comment and I'll add you to the list :)
See you soon,
Goodbye, from Bitcoin Beats.
Chop and explodeThe purpose of this script is to decipher chop zones from runs/movement/explosion
The chop is RSI movement between 40 and 60
tight chop is RSI movement between 45 and 55. There should be an explosion after RSI breaks through 60 (long) or 40 (short). Tight chop bars are colored black, a series of black bars is tight consolidation and should explode imminently. The longer the chop the longer the explosion will go for. tighter the better.
Loose chop (whip saw/yellow bars) will range between 40 and 60.
the move begins with blue bars for long and purple bars for short.
Couple it with your trading system to help stay out of chop and enter when there is movement. Use with "Simple Trender."
Best of luck in all you do. Get money.
