Range Force Impulse The "Range Force Impulse" indicator combines 4 useful indicators into one, freeing up chart real-estate and giving the trader insight into trend health, bull/bear commitment, range and volatility all at a glance.
The indicator consists of the following:
Direction - True Range and Average True Range columns shown above and below 0 depending on direction of the period's price
-- TR (gray) shows the current period's trading volatility
-- ATR (Impulse colors, see below) shows an EMA of TR over a specified length
-- Can be used to determine stops and targets (Example: Stop loss at prev close - ATR, Target at 2x ATR)
Index - Alexander Elder's EMA of (change(close) * volume), shows crosses above 0 (green) and below 0 (red), and intermediate signals
-- Shows bull vs. bear interest/commitment/dominance
-- Elder recommends EMA length of 2 for daily chart buy/sell signals, and 13 for weekly chart bull/bear dominance & trend direction signals
-- Intermediate signals are shown above 0 when falling (salmon), or below 0 when rising (pale yellow)
System - Range columns are colored using Alexander Elder's censorship system (green: do not short, red: do not long, blue: is up to you)
-- Shows overall trend health (Macd histogram and EMA up/down changes)

Range Marker by Vinay SinghThis indicator marks back and forth range on given timeframes. good indicator to test range breakout.
Range EncapsulatorWhen a user selects a start date and the desired duration, the specified date range will be highlighted. High and low data lines corresponding to this range will be drawn. Additionally, quarter-point interval lines from the previous data range will be displayed between the high and low lines of the current range, provided they fall within those boundaries.
Range TableThe Range Table indicator calculates and displays the Daily Average True Range (ATR), the current day's True Range (TR), and two customizable ATR percentage values in a clean table format. It provides values in ticks, points, and USD, helping traders set stop-loss buffers based on market volatility.
**Features:**
- Displays the Daily ATR (14-period) and current day's True Range (TR) with its percentage of the Daily ATR.
- Includes two customizable ATR percentages (default: 75% and 10%, with the second disabled by default).
- Shows values in ticks, points, and USD based on the symbol's tick size and point value.
- Customizable table position, background color, text color, and font size.
- Toggle visibility for the table and percentage rows via input settings.
**How to Use:**
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the table position, colors, and font size in the input settings.
3. Enable or disable the 75% and 10% ATR rows or customize their percentages.
4. Use the displayed values to set stop-loss or take-profit levels based on volatility.
**Ideal For:**
- Day traders and swing traders looking to set volatility-based stop-losses.
- Users analyzing tick, point, and USD-based risk metrics.
**Notes:**
- Ensure your chart is set to a timeframe that aligns with the daily ATR calculations.

Range Filter + ATR Strategy (Low Drawdown)Key Features for Low Drawdown:
Range Filter: Identifies trends while filtering out market noise
ATR-based Position Sizing: Adjusts position size based on volatility to risk a fixed percentage of capital
Trailing Stops: Uses ATR-based trailing stops to lock in profits and limit losses
Conservative Risk Parameters: Defaults to 1% risk per trade (adjustable)
Trend Confirmation: Requires two consecutive closes above/below the range filter
How to Use:
The strategy enters long when price is above the upper range filter for two consecutive bars
Enters short when price is below the lower range filter for two consecutive bars
Uses ATR to size positions appropriately for current volatility
Implements trailing stops based on ATR to protect profits
Optimization Tips:
Adjust the Range Filter period based on your timeframe
Modify the risk percentage (1% is conservative)
Tweak the ATR multiple for trailing stops (1.5 is moderate)
Consider adding a time-based exit if drawdown is still too high
Range Strat - MACD/RSIThis strategy uses a trend based indicator (MACD) for entry/exit signals with a momentum oscillator (RSI) to act as confirmation. Although relying on a trend based indicator this has been created for range bound crypto markets, which have been in a period of chop since June 2022.
Long/Short signals are generated from MACD with the RSI oscillator thresholds suppressing entries at price extremes. This is not a mean reversion RSI strategy! As the indicators are contrary to each other you will need to be generous with the RSI settings in order for signals to trigger.
Strategy is designed for use on the 4h timeframe, it may work well on higher timeframes, but lower time frames will lead to false signals. Use fixed percentage of equity for order size to capture the compounding effect. As a reversal strategy bear in mind that should market trend strongly in either direction stops will be required.
The RSI thresholds can be tailored to provide higher frequency or safer signals. Similarly tweaking MACD settings will provide earlier/more frequent or safer signals. As this is intended to enter near range high / low you should check the visual cues to ensure a ping-pong effect is observed, so that peaks and troughs are captured. Once an observable range is established the strategy works well across a range of crypto markets,
The script is open source, so feel free to amend as you wish. Using a different momentum oscillator may provide better results. I have prior coding experience, but first time using PineScript was last night, so it's not very tidy. I will update this with some additional customisation and TP/SL in the near future.
Usage: Range bound markets
Markets: Cryptocurrency Alts/BTC/ETH
Timeframe: 4h
Range over Volume This is a scalping aid for NQ in the 1 minute time range for the Globex session.
Mathematically, the plot is range in ticks divided by 0.1*volume
This returns a histogram plot for RoV (range over volume)
The idea is that candles that ascribe a larger range with minimal volume does because there is unilateral aggression from the buy side, or sell side, and the subsequent behavioural outcome of this will either be an extension of that aggression unilaterally, or commonly, a counter to that aggression!
Wait for a candle to close with the RoV above 4.00. For that candle which formed the RoV above 4.00, plot the highs and lows of that candle and draw a 1.618x and -0.618x Fibonacci extension across it.
Enter short on the -0.618x and take profits at the -1.618x. Use the low of the ROV > 4 candle as a protective stop
Enter long on the 1.618 and take profits at 2.618. Use the high of the ROV > 4 candle as a protective stop
Range filter v2This version give us signal by the cross of super trend and range filter . since both system try to do the same but calculated different , I was thinking why not to cross them each other by the same way we do with MA length
if you want to see the real trend just remove the // from the plot of super trend and the range finder
alerts and take profit inside
Range Breakout StrategyAfter consecutive candle closes it creates a range, and if price breaks out of it it enters with fixed take profit.
Range Trends Enhanced (eleven11)This indicator automatically draws your Range Trend lines based upon your timeframe. When you select a timeframe, in the options, those lines will be locked in, whenever you switch timeframes on the chart. This allows you to "lock in" a timeframe's trendlines and then view it on different timeframes. But if you want to view the current trendlines for a timeframe then you need to select that "lockdown" timeframe in the settings. The original code was created by eleven11
Range Channel by Atilla YurtsevenThis script creates a dynamic channel around a user-selected moving average (MA). It calculates the relative difference between price and the MA, then finds the average of the positive differences and the negative differences separately. Using these averages, it plots upper and lower bands around the MA as well as a histogram-like oscillator to show when price moves above or below the average thresholds.
How It Works
Moving Average Selection
The indicator allows you to choose among multiple MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, Linear Regression, etc.). Depending on your preference, it calculates the chosen MA for the selected lookback period.
Relative Difference Calculation
It then computes the percentage difference between the source (typically the closing price) and the MA. (diff = (src / ma - 1) * 100)
Positive & Negative Averages
- Positive differences are averaged and represent how far the price typically moves above the MA.
- Negative differences are similarly averaged for when price moves below the MA.
Range Channel & Oscillator
- The channel is plotted around the MA using the average positive and negative differences (Upper Edge and Lower Edge).
- The “Untrended” histogram plots the difference (diff). Green bars occur when price is above the MA on average, and red bars when below. Two additional lines mark the upper and lower average thresholds on this histogram.
How to Use
Identify Overbought/Oversold Zones: The upper edge can serve as a dynamic overbought level, while the lower edge can suggest potential oversold conditions. When the histogram approaches or crosses these levels, it may signal price extremes relative to its average movement.
Trend Confirmation: Compare price action relative to the channel. If price and the histogram consistently remain above the MA and upper threshold, it could indicate a stronger bullish trend. If they remain below, it might signal a prolonged bearish trend.
Entry/Exit Timings:
- Entry: Traders can look for moments when price breaks back inside the channel from an extreme, anticipating a mean reversion.
- Exit: Watching how price interacts with these dynamic edges can help define stop-loss or take-profit points.
Because these thresholds adapt over time based on actual price behavior, they can be more responsive than fixed-percentage bands. However, like all indicators, it’s most effective when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental tools.

Range of body 30min avggives the average range of the past 30bars and indicates when a candle's body is greater than 150% the average.
Range of a source displayed in thirdsThis indicator will take the value of any external source input and display how it has changed over time (the lookback period in settings). For the purposes of display here I'm using the WT1 line from Wavetrend with Crosses by LazyBear to provide a source input.
The highest and lowest value of the source over the lookback period are used to determine the highest and lowest point - the green and red lines at the top and bottom of the bands. This region is then mathematically split into three, such that the source (and its optional moving average line) can be defined as being in the top third, the middle or the bottom third.
Applications for this could be in risk management where you may wish to take on a larger position size when a certain indicator is in the top third, or decide that you want to enter / leave positions when the source crosses in / out of the extreme points.
Range SlicerThis is a tool I quickly put together to work along side of my round number and Quarter Theory Scripts. This script allows you to set a price range between to values and slice them up into equal price zones. Happy Trading!
Range MarkerThis indicator is built for chart traders.
When using price and action to trade, you need to keep the chart scale the same.
So this indicator will help you to mark the range you choose.
Let you keep precise when reading the chart.
Enjoy it!
Range Fib (Nephew_Sam_)This indicator plots Fibonacci values based on a time range
Example: Asian session
If session time is 1700 - 0200, the indicator will find the high and low of that session then plot its fib extension lines and background outside of hours provided.
Currently supports 4 keys levels that can be changed under settings.
If you don't want the lines to display and only the background colors, you can uncheck the lines under the indicator settings -> styles.

BULLISH!! Low High Range Options HelperThis indicator is designed for range-based options trading, where price tends to rotate between a defined low and high rather than trend continuously. Its purpose is not to tell you what to trade, but to provide context for timing, specifically answering the question: if price is at a discount here, how much time should an option realistically have?
The script identifies a recent price range and plots three key levels. The range high represents the upper boundary of recent price action and often acts as a take-profit or resistance area. The range mid is the 50 percent equilibrium of the range and is intended as a confirmation level rather than an entry signal. The range low represents the discount zone, where risk is best defined for bullish options trades. This is the only area where options guidance is displayed.
When price touches the range low, the indicator calculates how long similar range rotations have taken in the past, adjusts that timing to the current chart timeframe, and applies a safety factor to reduce the risk of under-timing an options position. It then displays a suggested days-to-expiration label, such as 3 DTE, 4 DTE, 5 DTE, 6 DTE, 7 DTE, 10 DTE, or 14 plus. Shorter DTE values reflect faster expected rotations, while longer DTE values reflect slower, choppier, or more uncertain conditions. The goal is to help avoid the common mistake of buying options that do not have enough time to work.
A typical way to use this tool is to identify a clearly defined range, wait for price to reach the range low, note the DTE guidance shown on the chart, then wait for confirmation such as a reclaim of the range midpoint before considering a trade. Risk can then be managed with the range structure in mind, often targeting the range high in rotational environments. The indicator is most effective in sideways or mean-reverting markets rather than strong trends.
This script does not place trades, predict direction, or guarantee outcomes. It does not account for news events, earnings, implied volatility changes, or broader macro conditions. It is intended as a contextual tool to support disciplined decision-making, not as a standalone trading system.
Always trade smart. Manage position size, define risk before entering a trade, and avoid over-leveraging short-dated options. The objective is not to predict the market, but to consistently align price structure with realistic time expectations.
Session Opening Bar RangeSession Opening Bar Range (OBR) - Advanced Opening Range Indicator with Statistical Analysis
Overview
The Session First Bar Range (FBR) indicator is a comprehensive tool that captures and projects key levels based on the first bar of a user-defined trading session. Unlike traditional daily opening range indicators, this script allows traders to focus on specific session windows (New York RTH, London, Asia, etc.) and analyze price behavior relative to the initial momentum established in that session's opening bar.
What makes this indicator unique is its combination of three distinct projection methodologies: statistical analysis based on historical range data, Fibonacci extensions, and fixed-point rotation levels commonly used by institutional traders. To our knowledge, this is the only opening range indicator that incorporates statistical standard deviation levels calculated from historical first bar ranges, making it both a technical and probabilistic tool.
Core Concept
The opening range concept is based on the principle that the initial price action of a trading session often sets the tone for the remainder of that session.
Professional traders have long observed that:
The first bar's high and low act as key reference points
Price often respects or breaks these levels with significance
Expansion beyond the opening range tends to occur in measurable increments
This indicator takes these observations and enhances them with:
Historical probability analysis - "Based on the last 60 sessions, price typically extends X standard deviations beyond the opening range"
Proportional projections - Fibonacci-based extensions showing where measured moves typically target
Fixed-point rotations - Institutional rotation levels (e.g., 65 points for NQ, 15 points for ES)
How It Works
Session Detection & First Bar Capture
The indicator uses Pine Script's time() function with timezone support to precisely detect when a trading session begins. When the first bar of the selected timeframe occurs within the session window, the script captures:
High (H): The high of the first bar
Low (L): The low of the first bar
Mid (M): The midpoint (hl2) of the first bar
Critical Detail: These levels are fixed from the first bar only - they do not update as the session progresses. This differs from many "opening range" indicators that use a time period (e.g., first 30 minutes). Here, you select the bar timeframe (default 5-minute), and only that single first bar's range is captured.
Statistical Level Calculation
The indicator maintains a rolling array of the last N session's first bar ranges (default: 60 sessions). For each new session, it calculates:
Average Range: Mean of historical first bar ranges
Standard Deviation: Volatility of those ranges
Projection Levels: High/Low ± (Average Range + Std Dev × Multiplier)
This provides probability-based levels. For example, a +2σ level suggests: "Historically, price extending this far beyond the opening range is a 2-standard-deviation event (approximately 95th percentile)."
Fibonacci Extensions
Using the first bar range as the base unit (100%), the indicator projects Fibonacci levels:
100% extension: One full range above the high / below the low
1.618x extension: (Default) Golden ratio projection
2.618x, 3.618x extensions: Additional Fibonacci levels
Calculation: Range = H - L, then Target = H + (Range × Multiplier) for upside projections.
OR Rotation Levels
These are fixed-point increments from the first bar's high and low. Unlike percentage-based methods, rotations use absolute point values:
NQ traders often use 65-point increments
ES traders often use 15-point increments
Gold/bonds use different values
The indicator draws 5 levels above the high (R+1 through R+5) and 5 below the low (R-1 through R-5), each separated by your specified point increment.

Institutional Level Awareness: OR Rotations at 65 points (NQ) align with levels professional traders watch
Technical Notes
The indicator uses request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to ensure the first bar levels are captured correctly
All drawing objects (lines, labels, fills) are managed in arrays with automatic cleanup to prevent memory issues
The statistical calculations use array.avg() and array.stdev() for accurate probability estimates
Rotation levels use individual line variables (like Fibonacci) rather than loops for reliability
Summary
This indicator is original in its combination of three distinct methodologies for projecting levels from a session's opening range:
Statistical Analysis - No other opening range indicator (to our knowledge) calculates standard deviation projections from historical first bar ranges
Time-Based Session Flexibility - Most OR indicators use only daily or fixed time periods; this allows any custom session window
Multiple Projection Methods - Traders can use statistical, Fibonacci, AND rotation levels together or separately
Custom Time Range HighlightThis indicator highlights specific time ranges on your TradingView chart with customizable background colors and labels, making it easier to identify key trading sessions and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Killzones. It is designed for traders who want to mark important market hours, such as major sessions (Asia, New York, London) or high-volatility Killzones, with full control over activation, timing, colors, and transparency.
Features
Customizable Time Ranges: Define up to 9 different time ranges, including one custom range, three major market sessions (Asia, New York, London), and five ICT Killzones (Asia, NY Open, NY Close, London Open, London Close).
Individual Activation: Enable or disable each time range independently via checkboxes in the settings. By default, only the ICT Killzones are active.
Custom Colors and Transparency: Set unique background and label colors for each range, with adjustable transparency for both.
Labeled Time Ranges: Each active range is marked with a customizable label at the start of the period, displayed above the chart for easy identification.
Priority Handling: If multiple ranges overlap, the range with the higher number (e.g., Asia Killzone over Custom Range) determines the background color.
CET Time Zone: Time ranges are based on Central European Time (CET, Europe/Vienna). Adjust the hours and minutes to match your trading needs.
Settings
The indicator settings are organized into three groups for clarity:
Custom Range: A flexible range (default: 15:30–18:00 CET) for user-defined periods.
Session - Asia, NY, London: Major market sessions (Asia: 01:00–10:00, New York: 14:00–23:00, London: 09:00–18:00 CET).
ICT Killzones - Asia, NY, London: High-volatility periods (NY Open: 13:00–16:00, NY Close: 20:00–23:00, London Open: 08:00–11:00, London Close: 16:00–18:00, Asia: 02:00–05:00 CET).
For each range, you can:
Toggle activation (default: only ICT Killzones enabled).
Adjust start and end times (hours and minutes).
Customize the label text.
Choose background and label colors with transparency levels (0–100).
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the settings to enable/disable specific ranges, adjust their times, or customize colors and labels.
The chart will highlight active time ranges with the selected background colors and display labels at the start of each range.
Use it to focus on key trading periods, such as ICT Killzones for high-probability setups or major sessions for market analysis.
Notes
Ensure your time ranges align with your trading instrument’s session times.
Overlapping ranges prioritize higher-numbered ranges (e.g., Asia Killzone overrides London Session).
Ideal for day traders, scalpers, or ICT strategy followers who need clear visual cues for specific market hours.
