CandelaCharts - OHLC Range Map 📝 Overview
Explore the intricate art of candlestick analysis with the OHLC Range Map!
Elevate your TradingView experience by integrating this dynamic tool into your trading strategies with actionable insights. This cutting-edge indicator transcends standard OHLC visuals, leveraging Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts to dissect accumulation, manipulation, and distribution on a candle-by-candle basis.
ICT traders recognize manipulation through the wick extending opposite the candle’s close. This movement often serves to mislead market participants into taking positions in the "wrong" direction, signaling potential manipulation legs. Analysts can use these insights to anticipate a candle’s distribution phase. During distribution, price extends to higher or lower levels, offering key clues for identifying liquidity draws, potential retracements, or reversals.
These levels offer valuable insights into order flow, highlighting how price interacts with them and the sequence of its delivery.
To enhance price mapping, the tool also charts the average timing for the completion of manipulation and distribution phases. This feature empowers traders to combine historical timing patterns with the price levels associated with manipulation and distribution for a deeper analysis.
Like all tools based on historical data, this indicator does not guarantee that past patterns will replicate in future market conditions. Designed with a data-driven edge, it highlights moments when candles are likely to reverse following manipulation phases or retrace after completing defined distributions, helping analysts spot potential turning points.

Ohlc
Previous Key Levels (fadi)Previous Key Levels indicator is a highly configurable OHLC levels tool designed to provide traders with the ability to plot multiple levels while minimizing screen clutter. This indicator is perfect for those who want to monitor various timeframes simultaneously without overloading their charts with unnecessary information.
How to Use It
This indicator offers traders the flexibility to track up to 6 higher timeframes (HTFs) and multiple candles for each timeframe. For example, a trader can choose to monitor the OHLC of the last four 4-hour candles, providing a comprehensive view of significant price levels over different periods.
Key Features
Highly Configurable: Customize the number of timeframes and candles to suit your trading strategy.
Minimal Screen Clutter: Efficiently plot multiple levels without overwhelming your chart.
Flexible Application: Ideal for identifying support and resistance levels, liquidity sweeps, target levels, and more, adapting to various trading styles.
Traders have diverse trading styles and preferences. Some may use these levels to identify support and resistance zones, while others might look for liquidity sweeps or set target levels. By offering a high degree of customization, the Previous Key Levels indicator caters to the unique needs of individual traders, helping them make informed decisions based on historical price action across multiple timeframes.
Timeframe Settings
Toggle to track 6 HTF settings and the number of candles to track for each.
Limit to next HTFs only can be used to limit the HTF levels displayed based on the current timeframe.
Hide Above will disable the indicator above the specified interval.
Offset to Left and Right are used to specify where the level line starts and ends based on the current candle.
Offset between HTFs extends HTF levels to become more readable.

Label color, background, and size.
Customize using up to 9 configurable parts.
Fading Levels
To prevent clutter, the indicator offers the option to change the transparency of the levels based on their distance from the current price. The distance is calculated based on a configurable Average True Range (ATR).
Change Transparency to a percentage of its current color.
Range should be within X candles will fade any level that is X candles length away from the current price.
ATR length used in calculation will calculate the average size of candles in the calculation.
Weekly OHLC LevelsWeekly OHLC Levels Indicator
This indicator plots the previous week's open, high, low, and close (OHLC) levels on the chart for the entire duration of the current week. These levels can be critical for identifying key support and resistance zones, as they often represent psychological levels that traders watch closely.
Features:
Plots previous week’s High (green), Low (red), Open (blue), and Close (purple).
Levels remain visible throughout the current week, providing consistent reference points.
Helps in visualizing how current price action interacts with last week’s important levels.
How to Use:
Use these levels to gauge potential support and resistance areas.
Monitor price reactions around these levels, especially during the beginning of the week, as they can serve as pivot points.
This indicator is suitable for all markets and timeframes, providing valuable insight into price structure relative to weekly market behavior.
Time and Price Lines and Zones (fadi)
Draw a red line starting from the open at 9:30
Show dotted lines between 11 and 12 and shade it
Mark the ORB high and low from 9:30 to 10:00 and extend it in orange and shade it
In trading, time and price are two crucial elements that help traders make decisions about buying and selling assets like stocks, commodities, or currencies. Forex or futures traders may prefer to trade during the Asia, London, and New York sessions to increase the probability of price moves. Additionally, traders often focus on key levels on the chart to frame their trades.
The Time and Price Lines and Zones indicator allows traders to set an unlimited number of time- and price-based levels on a chart, with full control over how they are displayed. Traders can simply type in their desired settings, and the indicator will interpret the instructions and plot the levels on the chart.
However, as it is a scripted tool, there are some limitations, and traders should keep their inputs relatively straightforward.
How It Works
In the settings, you type in the time and price levels you'd like to see, along with the timeframes for display. Each new line will render a line, a set of lines, or a price zone within a specific time interval. You can specify starting and ending times, price levels such as highs and lows, and details like color, line style, and thickness.
The following are some settings you can use:
Time
Always required, formatted as 0 to 23 for hours (with 0 representing midnight) and 0 to 59 for minutes. You can specify just a start time or both start and end times to "box" a period.
Examples:
1 ( for 1:00 AM)
13 (for 1:00 PM)
13:50 (for 1:50 PM)
Price
Optional. If no price level is provided, the indicator will treat it as an open time window and draw vertical lines at the specified time intervals.
Color
The indicator recognizes the 17 built-in colors from TradingView ( www.tradingview.com ). You also have the option to override or create your own colors to match your color schema under settings. Silver (light gray) is the default if none is specified.
Line Style
There are three available line styles:
Solid (default)
Dashed
Dotted
Line Thickness
Line thickness can also be controlled with the following options:
Thin (default)
Medium
Thick
Fill or No Fill
When specifying two price levels, or two time periods, you can choose to keep the area between them empty or fill it with a semitransparent color. You can set this by specifying "shade," "shaded," "fill," or "filled."
Extend or Not
There are times, such as with the Open Range Breakout (ORB), where you may want to extend the zone without tracking additional price level changes. You can indicate this by specifying whether you want to extend it or not.
Additional Indicator Settings
Ignore lines that start with a defined character to instruct the indicator to ignore the line. For example, if you want to hide a line without deleting it, add # in front of it (default is #).
Hide Above Will hide all lines and zones above a defined timeframe.
Show Next Area Hours in Advance This will plot lines in advance to the right of the current price action, helping traders recognize upcoming points of interest.
Show Last X Days This controls the clutter on the screen by limiting the display to the most recent X number of days.
Fill Transparency The percentage of transparency applied to the background when a fill is specified.
Examples:
12 to 13 gray area shaded with dotted lines
Will result in two vertical lines, one at 12 noon and one at 1 PM, with the area between them shaded gray and a dotted line style.
0:00 vertical line red solid
Adds one vertical red line at midnight.
By specifying the open, high, low, and/or close price components, the indicator will interpret this as an instruction to draw a horizontal line at the specified price level. If two or more price levels are provided, each will be tracked accordingly.
Draw a red line starting from 0 open
Draws a line starting from midnight open until the end of the trading day.
Track high and low starting from 9:30 in a dashed green medium line
Tracks the day’s high and low, adjusting as new highs and lows are drawn in a dashed thicker green line from 9:30 AM until the end of trading hours.
# Asia
20 to 0 green high to low filled
# London
2:00 to 5 blue low and high filled
#New York
8:30 to 11:30 orange zone shaded orange between the high and low dotted
Adds three ICT Kill Zones for Asia, London, and New York based on their respective high and low.
8:30 to 11:30 orange zone shaded orange open close dotted
Will add a second New York zone overlapping the high and low zone.
#Draw Open Range Breakout (ORB)
9:30 to 10:00 purple extended zone
Extends the zone from 9:30 to 10:00 AM with a purple extended zone.
Last Candle OHLC (Ticks or Points)What the Code Does
1. **Draws Lines and Labels**:
- It draws lines on your chart to show the high, low, open, and close prices from the previous period (like the previous day or week).
- It also labels these lines with numbers that tell you how far the current price is from these levels.
2. **Shows Price Movement**:
- You can see how far the price has moved from these levels in terms of small price changes (ticks) or larger units (points).
- This helps you understand price movements and potential levels of support or resistance.
3. **Customizable**:
- You can choose whether to show these lines and labels, and you can select if you want to see the movement in ticks or points.
- The lines can extend into the future on your chart to help you anticipate where prices might be in the coming days.
### How It’s Useful:
1. **Identify Key Levels**:
- It helps you spot important price levels from past periods, which can act as support or resistance.
2. **Understand Price Movement**:
- You get a visual sense of how much the price has moved from key levels, which can help you gauge market volatility.
3. **Plan Trades**:
- By seeing where the price has been and how it has moved, you can better plan your trades, like deciding where to enter or exit based on these levels.
4. **Flexible for Different Markets**:
- It works across various markets, like stocks, futures, and forex, adjusting to the specific characteristics of each instrument.
In short, this tool helps you visualize and understand past price movements and levels on your chart, aiding in your trading decisions.
Candle Color By OHLC ComparisonThis indicator is designed to help you recognize the price movements within a candle/bar more quickly and easily. Typically, candle coloring is based on the opening and closing prices, but in this indicator, I followed the OHLC values in reverse order: starting with closing, low, high, and then opening. Each of these is compared with the value in the previous candle. I assigned the least importance to the opening, hence did not include it in the color determination. To make the colors memorable, I used a rainbow-like color scale; with purple representing the highest value and maroon the lowest. You can also change the colors if you wish. Additionally, if you want to set alarms, I assigned values to the candles; the highest being 16 and the lowest 1. A thicker barchart provides a better visual representation.
For instance, consider the monthly chart of the NASDAQ 100. After a prolonged positive trend, when our indicator shows a negative maroon bar (representing a low value) for the first time, it could signal a change in the trend direction. In this scenario, the appearance of the maroon bar serves as a crucial alert for investors to review their current positions or prepare for a potential downtrend. This indicator provides users with a significant advantage in identifying such critical turning points and assists them in quickly adapting to market dynamics.
itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing
Classic sell setup:
Classic buy setup:
The indicator has a ton of customizable features, the power of the tool is really in there, as you can find or refine your own model with it. Once you're familiar with your setup you will be really feeling the power of the tool, I promise.
Indicator Features:
• M5/M15/H1/H4/D Time frames
• OHLC bar with an offset (you can have a look at the current HTF bar developing or you can use it as a locked previous bar)
• Current time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines to the current time
• Showing the previous time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines and the ability to add labels. The color of the OHLC or OLHC box is based on the candle closing. If it's a bear candle, if it's a bull candle.
• Previous high time frame open / close lines with labels, customisable colours, label sizes
• It has a lot of customisable features, the power of the tool is really in there as you can find or refine your own model with it.
• Every box and bar automatically switches its colors based on the close of the candle whether it's a bear or a bull candle.
• The color of the labels is switching automatically based on the coloring of your chart.
• You can customize each and every box color - OHLC/OLHC based on your taste, and the open and closing lines of the previous HTF.
Additional Information:
You can combine it with my own model. If you are not familiar with it, you can find here .
Or you can combine it with other frameworks for extra confluences like combining it with Daye’s QT in some simple equation:
Open → Q1 , High → Q2, Low → Q3, Close → Q4
Open → Q1, Low → Q2, High → Q3, Close → Q4
itradesize /\ Remaining Time - Candle close countdown A simple tool that displays the remaining time of M15, H1, H4, and D candles until they close.
Moreover, It works on all timeframes with all the exact data of the desired timeframe.
It can be such a useful tool when you using OHLC, AMD, and other theories. As you do not need to scrub back and forth through different timeframes to look for a bar close.
Notes:
• The Remaining Time Table only works in real time. It will show a “-“ sign, when you are in a replay mode.
This indicator has a Watermark section too where you can add your name/title/etc.. additionally, it shows the symbol, current timeframe, current date and you are able to customise them.
OHMLC Lines - Present- Current OHMLC candles
- Show current Open, High, Mid, Low, Close candles levels
Structure High LowsThis indicator identifies and tracks swing highs and lows in any market and timeframe, plotting them as solid lines on a chart. It offers customizable line features and can follow rules to update highs and lows based on bullish or bearish conditions.
In bullish ranges, the indicator updates the high until a swing high forms, while in bearish ranges, it updates the low until a swing low forms. These swings determine the final high or low. The indicator's unique approach incorporates market structure insights to potentially identify price movement trends and validate strategies across timeframes.
In bearish conditions, the indicator updates the low until a swing low forms, while the high adjusts when a candle's body surpasses the prior high. Swing highs entail lower highs on both sides, and swing lows involve higher lows. This indicator's innovation lies in its use of market structure to track price movement and validate trend strategies across timeframes.
Previous OHLC Levels [TradeMaster Lite]In trading, the “Previous Open/High/Low/Close” (or previous OHLC) refers to the opening, high, low and closing price of the instrument in the previous period. These prices are typically used in technical analysis to identify trends and patterns and to make trading decisions. Some traders may also use the differences between the opening, high, low and closing prices to make trading decisions. For example, the difference between the closing and opening price (the so-called “true body”) and the high and low price (the so-called “upper shadow” and “lower shadow”) can indicate the strength of a trend, whether the bulls or bears are controlling the market, and can also give an idea of market volatility, and are also used as support and resistance levels.
Previous Open: shows the opening price of the previous period. It's the price at which the market first started trading in that period.
Previous High: represents the highest price reached during the previous period. It can act as a resistance level for the current period.
Previous Low: indicates the lowest price hit during the previous period. It can serve as a support level in the current period.
Previous Close: the last price at which the asset traded during the previous period. It's often considered the most accurate reflection of the market sentiment at the end of that period.
These values provide a summary of the previous trading period's price action, giving you a baseline for comparing current price movements. They can help in understanding the market's direction and identifying potential support and resistance levels. It is important to keep in mind that, like any other technical indicator, Previous OHLC does not give a definitive indication of future market direction and should be used in conjunction with other analytical tools, as well as fundamental analysis and market sentiment. It is also important to have appropriate risk management in place.
👉 General advice
Confirming Signals with other indicators:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to confirm potential signals with other analytical tools, such as support and resistance levels, as well as indicators like RSI, MACD, and volume. This helps increase the probability of a successful trade.
Use proper risk management:
When using this or any other indicator, it is crucial to have proper risk management in place. Consider implementing stop-loss levels and thoughtful position sizing.
Combining with other technical indicators:
The indicator can be effectively used alongside other technical indicators to create a comprehensive trading strategy and provide additional confirmation.
Keep in Mind:
Thorough research and backtesting are essential before making any trading decisions. Furthermore, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the indicator and its behavior. Additionally, incorporating fundamental analysis and considering market sentiment can be vital factors to take into account in your trading approach.
Limitations:
This is a lagging indicator. Please note that the displayed values are delayed by the chosen timeframe on historical bars and show the values from the previous period on the current bar.
The indicators within the TradeMaster Lite package aim for simplicity and efficiency, while retaining their original purpose and value. Some settings, functions or visuals may be simpler than expected.

Excalibur Trading System [Dare]✦ INTRODUCTION
The core goal in the Excalibur Trading System is attaining an optimal entry - fading the masses, selling others' buys, buying others' sells, and trading along true tops and bottoms where price manipulation commonly occurs. Executions are most successful intraday and when aligned with HTF price action while still maintaining a systematic approach in analysis and risk management. Use of this tool is not recommended for the uninitiated trader; it takes intense focus, dedicated practice, and unwavering confidence to wield this successfully. Please go through the guide I’ve provided which contains comprehensive coverage of all the elements below which, in the context of this post, are meant to depict a general idea of what the indicator is meant to accomplish.

Postscript
✦ SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Type of System
This is a mechanical system which requires zero discretion. While trading with an objective approach offers several advantages, it's important to note that it is not foolproof. Market conditions can change, and indicators can provide false signals. The accuracy is not 100% and even following it perfectly, as with any strategy, one will incur losses.
Objective Decision-making - No emotional bias, no fear.
Consistent - A repeatable approach that eliminates impulsivity.
Easily tested - Strategy performance can be measured universally no matter who is using it, in both forward and backtesting.
No Guesswork - Provides specific entry and exit signals with a systematic procedure.
Predefined Rules - Controls risk and enforces discipline.
Simple and Clear - Reduces complexity and confusion.
Performance in Various Market Conditions
Excalibur is meant to catch reversals and second-stage continuations, but trending days should be avoided. It has been tested and used in live market conditions in Index Futures, during the regular NY Session, on the 1m Timeframe, targeting ≥2.5RR Ratio. Outcomes will vary by trader due to factors such as risk tolerance, entry opportunities taken, human error and psychological barriers. Historical performance is not a guarantee of future results.
✦ SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Setup Schematic
The premise for all setups is the same. We are identifying manipulation above a previous high (bearish) or below a previous low (bullish) in anticipation of a reversal. This indicator is meant to be used as a measuring tool to quantify that manipulation taking place using Hi's and Lo's as identified by the Bar , which is based on a standard deviation calculation. The Fu tag is meant to be used to find Divergence at custom pivots, not predetermined lookback periods - this is similar to SMT - Smart Money Technique, but this Divergence references bodies vs. wicks and the execution of the trade is at the extreme pivot vs. the weak pivot.
Using the Bar as a guide, the trader will set the Hi/Lo tags and the indicator will automatically calculate the Threshold, the point beyond which one’s Entry resides when Divergence is also present. A valid entry plots as a Polaris star below (bullish) and above (bearish) the current bar in their respective scenarios.
Bullish Setup
(1) Place the Lo tag at the current threshold as signified by the Bar.
(2) Search for Divergence with price action below that threshold by using the Fu tag at extreme bodies of recent swing lows.
(3) Wait for a bullish Entry to plot, confirmed at candle close.
Bearish Setup
(1) Place the Hi tag at the current threshold as signified by the Bar.
(2) Search for Divergence with price action above that threshold by using the Fu tag at extreme bodies of recent swing highs.
(3) Wait for a bearish Entry to plot, confirmed at candle close.
The indicator collects the OHLC values of the target asset candles based on the trader’s Hi/Lo placement, compares them to up to two assets, and plots an entry depending on the context of the setup. The entry method, like the setup composition, is based on minute Divergences in price between the assets and other criteria related to how the candles close relative to each other.
✦ INDICATOR SETTINGS
Options
This line controls the colors of the Polaris (✦) and the squares in the Manipulation Bar. Manipulation can be measured using either mathematical calculation (ᴀʟᴘʜᴀ) or OHLC data-points (ʙᴇᴛᴀ). The Polaris denotes a time and price of possible reversal at an extreme low or high - deselect this line to hide it.
⋆ This line controls colors of the Tags and Candles - Bullish, Bearish, and All. To customize, switch to ᴄᴜsᴛᴏᴍ. If the Divergence Candles are not consistently visible, change the Visual Order to Front on the chart by selecting the indicator Title then More. To hide, deselect this line.'
The third and fourth lines controls the visibility of the Manipulation Bar, Matrix Tags, Advisor Arrows and Invalidation Labels.
Time
By default, the times for Hi, Lo and Fu are set to 09:00, 09:30 and 09:15 respectively. The date will need to be manually adjusted at the beginning of each trading day.
Price
By default, the charted Asset is assumed to be ES1! (E-Mini S&P 500 Continuous Contract) . If the trader would like to chart a different Asset, be sure to adjust Assets I and II to valid comparisons so that the indicator can accurately detect price divergences.
Risk
Input the account size and percentage one intends to risk. To pyramid, indicate the quantity the position to be divided into. In MT4 or 5, right-click a symbol then Specification. The Contract Size field contains the Units per Lot. Use the various options to customize the table format and visibility.
The tooltips (i) will be available in the UI in case the trader will ever need to refer to them for the information above.
✦ PLOTTING INTERPRETATION
Matrix Tags
Guided by the manipulation bar, the trader will use Hi and Lo tags to measure the manipulation threshold. The Fu tag measures either bullish or bearish divergences depending on the placement of the Hi/Lo tags.
Manipulation Bar
The squares plotted together form a bar and indicate whether a candle is or isn’t plotting a new manipulation threshold (creating a new Hi or Lo ). The trader should always use the current Hi or Lo .
Advisor Arrows
The arrows are meant to signify a possible valid entry in the temporary period of time between the candle open and close. They give advance notice that the trader should be looking for divergences using the Fu tag to attain a confirmed entry (Polaris) on that particular candle as it is forming.
Entry Signal
The Polaris denotes a time and price of trade execution. As long as the Matrix tags are placed correctly, this is a valid signal to place a position in the direction indicated. Entry price is at the candle close, regardless of the next candle’s open price.
Risk Labels and Table
This is an automatic calculation for Stop placement based on average true range (valid only for indices with a 0.25pt tick value. A future version may allow for customization of this feature for assets not based on ticks, like forex pairs). The table (by default at the bottom right) will display the trader's position size based on the inputs.
Divergence Candles
Using the Fu tag, the trader can select swing highs and lows to determine if divergence is occurring above and below them, respectively. Divergence is maintained as long as the colored candles are printed consecutively. Referring to the charts of Assets I and II in a separate layout window is recommended but not required.
✦ POSTSCRIPT
I forged this sword, Excalibur, in pursuit of my highest aspiration - to create a legacy and provide a gift to my friends, family, and all those burdened by obligations that limit them from living what they would consider to be a fulfilling life. Those free to pursue the ambitions they truly value are the ones who change their communities and even the world for the better.

There are lots of scripts available for this data, however this one plots the levels to the right of price on the chart to keep the chart as clean as possible. The line styles, colors and text can be customised. The offset to the right of the chart for the start of line and label offsets can also be adjusted.
Labels are abbreviated to PDH (previous day high), CMO (current month open), PW50% (previous week 50% from high to low) ..etc
OHLC📕 LIBRARY OHLC
🔷 Introduction
This library is a custom library designed to work with real-time bars. It allows to easily calculate OHLC values for any source.
Personally, I use this library to accurately display the highest and lowest values on visual indicators such as my progress bars.
🔷 How to Use
◼ 1. Import the OHLC library into your TradingView script:
import cryptolinx/OHLC/1
- or -
Instead of the library namespace, you can define a custom namespace as alias.
import cryptolinx/OHLC/1 as src
◼ 2. Create a new OHLC source using the `new()` function.
varip mySrc = OHLC.new() // It is required to use the `varip` keyword to init your ``
- or -
If you has set up an alias before.
varip mySrc = src.new()
===
In that case, your `` needs to be `na`, define your object like that
varip mySrc = na
◼ 3. Call the `hydrateOHLC()` method on your OHLC source to update its values:
Basic
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
mySrc.hydrateOHLC(rsi)
- or -
Inline
rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14).hydrateOHLC(mySrc)
◼ 4. The data is accessible under their corresponding names.
mySrc.open
mySrc.high
mySrc.low
mySrc.close
🔷 Note: This library only works with real-time bars and will not work with historical bars.

- The key levels are constructed using the data received and the selected styles and colours.
- A unique cycle helps to improve the readability of the levels without "polluting" the graph with multiple labels
- In addition, I have left hints in the indicator to help you understand it better.
For Pine coders.
Why did I create it when there are many counterparts?
Simply because counterparts have very large and complex code and modest functionality and flex.
Here I have managed to fit it into 100 lines still readable.
You can learn how to call lots of lines and marks with just one function.
I also created a unique loop that connects labels if they are too close together for better visibility on a plot.
I have left detailed comments for each action.
I would be glad if someone could tell me how to make it more easier.

Williams Vix Fix OHLC candles plot indicator (Tartigradia)OHLC candles plot of the Williams VixFix indicator, which allows to draw trend lines.
Williams VixFix is a realized volatility indicator developed by Larry Williams, and can help in finding market bottoms.
Indeed, as Williams describe in his paper, markets tend to find the lowest prices during times of highest volatility, which usually accompany times of highest fear. The VixFix is calculated as how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
The Williams VixFix indicator is usually presented as a curve or histogram. The novelty of this indicator is to present the data as a OHLC candles plot: whereas the original Williams VixFix calculation only involves the close value, we here use the open, high and low values as well. This led to some mathematical challenges because some of these calculations led to absurd values, so workarounds had to be found, but in the end I think the result was worth it, it reproduces the VIX chart quite well.
A great additional value of the OHLC chart is that it shows not just the close value, but all the values during the session: open, high and low in addition to close. This allows to draw trend lines and can provide additional information on momentum and sentiment. In addition, other indicators can be used on it, as if it was a price chart, such as RSI indicators (see RSI+ (alt) indicator for example).
For more information on the Vix Fix, which is a strategy published under public domain:

Fixing the VIX: An Indicator to Beat Fear, Amber Hestla-Barnhart, Journal of Technical Analysis, March 13, 2015, ssrn.com
Replicating the CBOE VIX using a synthetic volatility index trading algorithm, Dayne Cary and Gary van Vuuren, Cogent Economics & Finance, Volume 7, 2019, Issue 1, doi.org
This indicator includes only the Williams VixFix as an OHLC candles or bars plot, and price / vixfix candles plot, as well as the typical vixfix histogram. Indeed, it is much more practical for unbounded range indicators to be plotted in their own separate panel, hence why this indicator is released separately, so that it can work and be scaled adequately out of the box.
Note that the there are however no bottom buy signals. For a more complete indicator, which also includes the OHLC candles plots present here, but also bottom signals and Inverse VixFix (top signals), see:
Set Index symbol to SPX, and index_current = false, and timeframe Weekly, to reproduce the original VIX as close as possible by the VIXFIX (use the Add Symbol option, because you want to plot CBOE:VIX on the same timeframe as the current chart, which may include extended session / weekends). With the Weekly timeframe, off days / extended session days should not change much, but with lower timeframes this is important, because nights and weekends can change how the graph appears and seemingly make them different because of timing misalignment when in reality they are not when properly aligned.
