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.

15Min Opening Range & Midline (UTC+2) This TradingView script draws the 15-minute Opening Range of the day based on a user-defined start time and plots the high, low, and midline of this range. It works by capturing the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the session, and then extending them for the rest of the trading day. The midline is calculated as the average of the high and low values.
Key Features:
User-configurable start time: Define the hour and minute for when the opening range should start based on your local time zone.
Line customization: Choose the color and line style (solid, dashed, dotted) for the high, low, and midline.
Easy-to-read visual representation: The high and low lines extend across the chart from the range start, with the midline placed in the center.
Dynamic updates: The indicator resets at the start of each new trading day and updates the opening range lines accordingly.
Perfect for:
Traders looking to monitor the initial market range during the first 15 minutes of trading.
Identifying key support and resistance levels based on early price action.
Providing a midline to assess market bias and potential breakouts.
Notes:
The indicator calculates everything based on the local time zone you define and automatically adjusts to your desired start time.
It will not redraw lines; once drawn, they remain on the chart until the next session.
HTF Candle Range Box (Fixed to HTF Bars)### **Higher Timeframe Candle Range Box (HTF Box Indicator)**
This indicator visually highlights the price range of the most recently closed higher-timeframe (HTF) candle, directly on a lower-timeframe chart. It dynamically adjusts based on the user-selected HTF setting (e.g., 15-minute, 1-hour) and ensures that the box is displayed only on the bars that correspond to that specific HTF candle’s duration.
For instance, if a trader is on a **1-minute chart** with the **HTF set to 15 minutes**, the indicator will draw a box spanning exactly 15 one-minute candles, corresponding to the previous 15-minute HTF candle. The box updates only when a new HTF candle completes, ensuring that it does not change mid-formation.
---
### **How It Works:**
1. **Retrieves Higher Timeframe Data**
The script uses TradingView’s `request.security` function to pull **high, low, open, and close** values from the **previously completed HTF candle** (using ` ` to avoid repainting). It also fetches the **high and low of the candle before that** (using ` `) for comparison.
2. **Determines Breakout Behavior**
It compares the **last closed HTF candle** to the **one before it** to determine whether:
- It **broke above** the previous high.
- It **broke below** the previous low.
- It **broke both** the high and low.
- It **stayed within the previous candle’s range** (no breakout).
3. **Classifies the Candle & Assigns Color**
- **Green (Bullish)**
- Closes above the previous candle’s high.
- Breaks below the previous candle’s low but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened above** the previous high.
- **Red (Bearish)**
- Closes below the previous candle’s low.
- Breaks above the previous candle’s high but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened below** the previous low.
- **Orange (Neutral/Indecisive)**
- Stays within the previous candle’s range.
- Breaks both the high and low but closes inside the previous range without a clear bias.
4. **Box Placement on the Lower Timeframe**
- The script tracks the **bar index** where each HTF candle starts on the lower timeframe (e.g., every 15 bars on a 1-minute chart if HTF = 15 minutes).
- It **only displays the box on those bars**, ensuring that the range is accurately reflected for that time period.
- The box **resets and updates** only when a new HTF candle completes.
---
### **Key Features & Advantages:**
✅ **Clear Higher Timeframe Context:**
- The indicator provides a structured way to analyze HTF price action while trading in a lower timeframe.
- It helps traders identify **HTF support and resistance zones**, potential **breakouts**, and **failed breakouts**.
✅ **Fixed Box Display (No Mid-Candle Repainting):**
- The box is drawn **only after the HTF candle closes**, avoiding misleading fluctuations.
- Unlike other indicators that update live, this one ensures the trader is looking at **confirmed data** only.
✅ **Flexible Timeframe Selection:**
- The user can set **any HTF resolution** (e.g., 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr), making it adaptable for different strategies.
✅ **Dynamic Color Coding for Quick Analysis:**
- The **color of the box reflects the market sentiment**, making it easier to spot trends, reversals, and fake-outs.
✅ **No Clutter – Only Applies to the Relevant Bars:**
- Instead of spanning across the whole chart, the range box is **only visible on the bars belonging to the last HTF period**, keeping the chart clean and focused.
---
### **Example Use Case:**
💡 Imagine a trader is scalping on the **1-minute chart** but wants to factor in **HTF 15-minute structure** to avoid getting caught in bad trades. With this indicator:
- They can see whether the last **15-minute candle** was bullish, bearish, or indecisive.
- If it was **bullish (green)**, they may look for **buying opportunities** at lower timeframes.
- If it was **bearish (red)**, they might anticipate **a potential pullback or continuation down**.
- If the **HTF candle failed to break out**, they know the market is **ranging**, avoiding unnecessary trades.
---
### **Final Thoughts:**
This indicator is a **powerful addition for traders who combine multiple timeframes** in their analysis. It provides a **clean and structured way to track HTF price movements** without cluttering the chart or requiring constant manual switching between timeframes. Whether used for **intraday trading, swing trading, or scalping**, it adds an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔹 **Best for traders who:**
- Want **HTF structure awareness while trading lower timeframes**.
- Need **confirmation of breakouts, failed breakouts, or indecision zones**.
- Prefer a **non-repainting tool that only updates after confirmed HTF closes**.

Futures Weekly Open RangeThe weekly opening range ( high to low ) is calculated from the open of the market on Sunday (1800 EST) till the opening of the Bond Market on Monday morning (0800 EST). This is the first and most crucial range for the trading week. As ICT has taught, price is moving through an algorithm and as such is fractal; because price is fractal, the opening range can be calculated and projected to help determine if price is trending or consolidating. As well; this indicator can be used to incorporate his PO3 concept to enter above the weekly opening range for shorts if bearish, or entering below the opening range for longs if bullish.
This indicator takes the high and low of weekly opening range, plots those two levels, plots the opening price for the new week, and calculates the Standard Deviations of the range and plots them both above and below of the weekly opening range. These are all plotted through the week until the start of the new week.
The range is calculated by subtracting the high from the low during the specified time.
The mid-point is half of that range added to the low.
The Standard deviation is multiples of the range (up to 10) added to the high and subtracted
from the low.
At this time the indicator will only plot the Standard deviation lines on the minutes time frame below 1 hour.
Only the range and range lines will be plotted on the hourly chart.
Previous Day and Week RangesI've designed the "Previous Day and Week Ranges" indicator to enhance your trading strategy by clearly displaying daily and weekly price levels. This tool shows Open-Close and High-Low ranges for both daily and weekly timeframes directly on your trading chart.

Potential Support and Resistance: The indicator highlights previous day and week ranges that may serve as key support or resistance levels in subsequent trading sessions.
Customizable Display Options: Offers the flexibility to show or hide daily and weekly ranges based on your trading needs.
Color Customization: Adjust the color settings to differentiate between upward and downward movements, enhancing visual clarity and chart readability.
This indicator is ideal for traders aiming to understand market dynamics better, offering insights into potential pivot points and zones of price stability or volatility.
Shadow Range IndexShadow Range Index (SRI) introduces a new concept to calculate momentum, shadow range.
What is range?
Traditionally, True Range (TR) is the current high minus the current low of each bar in the timeframe. This is often used successfully on its own in indicators, or as a moving average in ATR (Average True Range).
To calculate range, SRI uses an innovative calculation of current bar range that also considers the previous bar. It calculates the difference between its maximum upward and maximum downward values over the number of bars the user chooses (by adjusting ‘Range lookback’).
What is shadow range?
True Range (TR) uses elements in its calculation (the highs and lows of the bar) that are also visible on the chart bars. Shadow range does not, though.
SRI calculates shadow range in a similar formula to range, except that this time it works out the difference between the minimum upward and minimum downward movement. This movement is by its nature less than the maximums, hence a shadow of it. Although more subtle, shadow range is significant, because it is quantifiable, and goes in one direction or another.
Finally, SRI smoothes shadow range and plots it as a histogram, and also smoothes and plots range as a signal line. Useful up and down triangles show trend changes, which optionally colour the chart bars.
Here’s an example of a long trade setup:
In summary, Shadow Range Index identifies and traces maximum and minimum bar range movement both up and down, and plots them as centred oscillators. The dynamics between the two can provide insights into the chart's performance and future direction.

4H RangeThis script visualizes certain key values based on a 4-hour timeframe of the selected market on the chart. These values include the High, Mid, and Low price levels during each 4-hour period.
These levels can be helpful to identify inside range price action, chop, and consolidation. They can sometimes act as pivots and can be a great reference for potential entries and exits if price continues to hold the same range.
Here's a step-by-step overview of what this indicator does:
1. Inputs: At the beginning of the script, users are allowed to customize some inputs:
Choose the color of lines and labels.
Decide whether to show labels on the chart.
Choose the size of labels ("tiny", "small", "normal", or "large").
Choose whether to display price values in labels.
Set the number of bars to offset the labels to the right.
Set a threshold for the number of ticks that triggers a new calculation of high, mid, and low values.
* Tick settings may need to be increased on equity charts as one tick is usually equal to one cent.
For example, if you want to clear the range when there is a close one point/one dollar above or below the range high/low then on ES
that would be 4 ticks but one whole point on AAPL would be 100 ticks. 100 ticks on an equity chart may or may not be ideal due to
different % change of 100 ticks might be too excessive depending on the price per share.
So be aware that user preferred thresholds can vary greatly depending on which chart you're using.
2. Retrieving Price Data: The script retrieves the high, low, and closing price for every 4-hour period for the current market.
The script also calculates the mid-price of each 4-hour period (the average of the high and low prices).
3. Line Drawing: At the start of the script (first run), it draws three lines (high, mid, and low) at the levels corresponding to the high,
mid, and low prices. Users can also change transparency settings on historical lines to view them. Default setting for historical lines
is for them to be hidden.
4. Updating Lines and Labels: For each subsequent 4-hour period, the script checks whether the close price of the period has gone
beyond a certain threshold (set by user input) above the previous high or below the previous low. If it has, the script deletes the
previous lines and labels, draws new lines at the new high, mid, and low levels, and creates new labels (if the user has opted to
show labels).
5. Displaying Values in the Data Window: In addition to the visual representation on the chart, the script also plots the high, mid, and
low prices. These plotted values appear in the Data Window of TradingView, allowing users to see the exact price levels even when
they're not directly labeled on the chart.
6. Updating Lines and Labels Position: At the end of each period, the script moves the lines and labels (if they're shown) to the right,
keeping them aligned with the current period.
Please note: This script operates based on a 4-hour timeframe, regardless of the timeframe selected on the chart. If a shorter timeframe is selected on the chart, the lines and labels will appear to extend across multiple bars because they represent 4-hour price levels. If a longer timeframe is selected, the lines and labels may not accurately represent high, mid, and low levels within that longer timeframe.
Visible RangeA quick and easy "at a glance" display for the viewable candles. It does repaint, but that is a non-issue, as it is simply a quick and handy tool to visually see a quick peek at the visible range.
The highest, lowest, and average are displayed, with labels for the percentage distance from the current close value and total range.
Automatic color for each based on relative distance for consistency in stable or volatile conditions.
Opening Range with Infinite Price TargetsOpening Range with Infinite Price Targets is an ORB indicator that automatically generates price targets into infinity based on a user-defined % of range.
This indicator includes many nice-to-have features missing from other indicators. Such as:
Price Target Labels with Price tooltip, want to know exactly what price pt3 is at? Hover over it and see.
Custom Defined Range time, Set your Range Start and end time to whatever you need, Doesn't have to be pinned to opening range!. Note: Time is in chart time.
Historical View (Default off), Tired of your chart looking messy with a ton of lines from historical data? No problem! You can choose to view or not view historical data.
Alerts for Range Breaks, First Range Breaks, and Discovery Price Target hits. As well as Exported Values for Range High, Low, and Mean to set your own alerts from custom sources.
Custom Price Targets, set your price targets to a % of the range based on your own strategy.
Last but not Least, Infinitely Generating Price Targets. They just keep building. New Targets will be generated when the price closes above/below the current farthest target.
Enjoy!
Market Profile Visible RangeSup TV, 2 important points .
1) surprisingly, it's the first MP Visible Range script on TV;
2) This one doesn't use any bagging/binning*, instead each row represents the time spent on the actual minimal price steps (aka ticks).
The script will be further extended with usual market profile related functionally in future updates. At this point we have:
- Profile itself (each row represents how many bars touch the given price);
- Mode of the profile (called POC)**;
* Still it will be introduced in future when I will find / design the proper aggregating technique. It is vital for processing very wide price ranges (for example, 500 days on ES futures).
** The script correctly calculates POC by finding all the modes in the data & choosing the closest one to data's midrange.
For this kind of technical instrument finally it was more convenient to use Pine Script 5 (btw it's my first Pine 5).
Basically this script is a side-effect of another R&D I'm doing, the stuff is useful tho so let's go.
By choosing length we both specify the amount of data to be processed & the profile's location screen-wise. It's pretty cool and & useful, on my screen it's always almost touching the left side and still always visible.
The code is heavily commented in order to be understood fast, nothing fantastic, just a lil patience required this time.
Rationale
Market & volume profiles are well known concepts, lotta info available, the most important point of all that is that MP is just another way of visualizing data that lets you notice things you don't usually notice on sequential charts. From my side I can only add that it's better to use your own brain for thinking and reconsidering using volume profile in all the cases, especially on decentralized markets (unless you're aggregating ALL the volume data from everywhere, including options, OTC etc).
Here is it, for you
IPDA operating range by makuchakuDetermining operating range is critical for trading.
You *need* to sell in premium & buy in discount.
This script determines an operating range by stepping back on an HTF timeframe to calculate that HTF candle's range. If the current candle in HTF breaks out, the range expands accordingly.
The timeframe mapping I've used is
Intraday & <= 2H : use Daily as HTF range
Intraday & > 2H : use Weekly as HTF range
Daily : use Monthly as HTF range
Weekly : use 6 Months as HTF range
The HTF mapping is my own personal preference. If you prefer, you can easily copy the indicator and create your own mapping.
Once the HTF range is known, the indicator also plots 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% levels.
Narrow Range (NR) IndicatorNarrow Range (NR) trading strategy is a breakout-based method that assumes that the price of security trends up or down after a brief consolidation in a narrow range. This indicator can plot:
1. Narrow Range (NR) 4, 7, and 21
2. Narrow Range (NR) 4, 7, and 21 + Inside Bars (IB)
NR 4/NR 7/NR 21 day acts as a confirming factor on where the price will move further. Breakout of NR 4/NR 7/NR 21 candle with high volumes indicates bullishness, while the breakdown candle indicates bearishness.
Dynamic Range here comes open source version of notorious JFT Indicator ( the indicator access you can get in some bucks ) on various telegram channels however they will not give code.
Now how it works
1. 2 ranges derived from indicator are supposed to be a consolidation zone and any close above or below is supposed to give a good move.
2. I personally consider it as may be addition to price analysis. ( i don't believe much in indicators,even simple MA gives fruitful results when there is good move in market )
3. Range can be drawn on chart with various resolution ( Daily/Monthly/Weekly )
PS: I coded myself based on data analysis shown by access only indicator. In case you use it for your publication don't forget to give credits.

RTH and ETH RangesKey Functions :
Visualizes Regular Trading Hours (RTH) and Extended Trading Hours (ETH) price ranges
Tracks session highs, lows, and 50% levels where significant market reactions occur
Detects breakouts beyond previous session extremes
Trading Applications :
Exposes potential liquidity raids at session boundaries where smart money targets stop orders
Identifies critical price thresholds where institutional activity concentrates
Highlights divergences between RTH and ETH behavior that precede directional moves
Provides measurement of session volatility differences
Maps key price levels for objective entry and exit parameters
Reveals market dynamics at session transitions where institutional positioning changes
Average Range LinesThis Average Range Lines indicator identifies high and low price levels based on a chosen time period (day, week, month, etc.) and then uses a simple moving average over the length of the lookback period chosen to project support and resistance levels, otherwise referred to as average range. The calculation of these levels are slightly different than Average True Range and I have found this to be more accurate for intraday price bounces.
Lines are plotted and labeled on the chart based on the following methodology:
+3.0: 3x the average high over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
+2.5: 2.5x the average high over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
+2.0: 2x the average high over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
+1.5: 1.5x the average high over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
+1.0: The average high over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
+0.5: One-half the average high over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
Open: Opening price for the chosen time period.
-0.5: One-half the average low over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
-1.0: The average low over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
-1.5: 1.5x the average low over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
-2.0: 2x the average low over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
-2.5: 2.5x the average low over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
-3.0: 3x the average low over the chosen timeframe and lookback period.
Look for price to find support or resistance at these levels for either entries or to take profit. When price crosses the +/- 2.0 or beyond, the likelihood of a reversal is very high, especially if set to weekly and monthly levels.
This indicator can be used/viewed on any timeframe. For intraday trading and viewing on a 15 minute or less timeframe, I recommend using the 4 hour, 1 day, and/or 1 week levels. For swing trading and viewing on a 30 minute or higher timeframe, I recommend using the 1 week, 1 month, or longer timeframes. I don’t believe this would be useful on a 1 hour or less timeframe, but let me know if the comments if you find otherwise.
Based on my testing, recommended lookback periods by timeframe include:
Timeframe: 4 hour; Lookback period: 60 (recommend viewing on a 5 minute or less timeframe)
Timeframe: 1 day; Lookback period: 10 (also check out 25 if your chart doesn’t show good support/resistance at 10 days lookback – I have found 25 to be useful on charts like SPX)
Timeframe: 1 week; Lookback period: 14
Timeframe: 1 month; Lookback period: 10
The line style and colors are all editable. You can apply a global coloring scheme in the event you want to add this indicator to your chart multiple times with different time frames like I do for the weekly and monthly.
I appreciate your comments/feedback on this indicator to improve. Also let me know if you find this useful, and what settings/ticker you find it works best with!

Trading range display with BoxThis script is just for reference to see the trading range.
Do not use this strategy logic, it is just Test strategy.
The trading range is colored depending on whether it is profitable or not.
You can change the color if you want.
When you declare the strategy, put (process_orders_on_close=true,calc_on_every_tick=true, max_boxes_count=500) in your script.
Then it can show you current open trading as well.
If you use switching strategy (e.g longposition to shortposition right away), it may not show you the range properly.
In that case, reduse the test period.
IT IS Repainting Reference.
If you want to see your strategy result visually,
Just copy and paste from line 22 in my script.
Good Luck everyone.

Intraday Range CalculatorThis indicator shows an easy way to determine if the stock, index or ETF ended within a configurable intraday range.
This solution is ideal for those who study and like Iron Condors or Iron Butterflies strategies.
Results:
If the square is red, it means that the selected deviation limits have been exceeded within the chosen times.
If the square is green, the price stayed within the pre-set limits.
A yellow circle marks the moment when the price leaves the range, either by the upper band or by the lower band.
In the last bar a label with the test results will be displayed.
Settings:
In the configuration there are three fields:
1. Deviation : is the range in percentage that the price can move up or down from the start time to the end time.
2. Begin Time: is the time (in 24h or military format) where the process begins.
3. End Time: is the time (in 24h or military format) where the process ends.
Example:
* for the time 11:00 am, you must enter "1100"
* for the time 2:45pm, you must enter "1445"
Important:
The selected timeframe must be less than 1 hour and Extended Trading Hours in the lower left corner), otherwise the indicator may not show results.
Later I will make an improvement to solve these inconveniences.

[FN] Session Range & Date Range For BacktestingThis has been done before in different ways, however, my goal is to publish a single, simplified copy/paste version of the idea so you can quickly and easily incorporate it into your strategy backtesting.
You can designate weekdays, weekdays + weekends for 24/7 markets, and also session range.
So, you trade bitcoin? It works. CME futures? It works. You are a discretionary trader so the only signals that matter are the ones that happen when you're awake? It works. Copy and paste.
The goal is that its that easy. You'll have to let me know if it is. glhf everyone.
If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to copy/paste this directly into your strategy script (Paste it in before your entry declarations). Just leave out the last 2 lines where the bgcolor() is declared... unless you want the background color lit up, that's up to you. It's just for demonstration purposes in this script.
After you've pasted it in, then in your strategy.entry() function you are adding: to the strategy.entry() function.
e.g:
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty=1, when = ENTRY_SIGNAL and signal_backtest())
Shoutouts to @zenandtheartoftrading and @allanster for providing the basis of this code that I put together here. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
High-Low RangeThis script just shows a histogram of the daily range. You can change the interval to view the high/low range of any period, but I use it just to see what the day's range is and how it compares to prior days. Simple and straightforward.
Session RangeSimple script for showing the high/low/midrange of a session. By default configured to do the Daily range using the "regular" session. But it's configurable. For example on this chart I am showing the Weekly range.
Relative Range at Time/ Relative volatility / High−Low This script is designed to help you compare the size of the current price candle (the difference between the highest and lowest prices in a given time period) to the average size of the last several candles. It does this by calculating the average range of a certain number of previous candles (you can set how many with the "Length" input) and then dividing the current candle's range by this average. The result is plotted on the chart as a bar: if the current candle's range is larger than the average, the bar is green; if it's smaller, the bar is red. A horizontal line is also drawn at the value of 1, so you can easily see whether the current candle's range is above or below the average. If there’s an issue with the data, the script will show an error message to let you know.
