Range Detector [PQ_MOD]This multi-functional Range Detector indicator dynamically identifies and visualizes significant price ranges and predictive zones by combining traditional range analysis with advanced market structure concepts. Initially, it computes a baseline range using a moving average and an ATR-derived threshold over a user-defined period; if the price remains within this range for the specified number of bars, the indicator draws and continuously updates a range box and corresponding average line. Simultaneously, it calculates predictive range levels—upper and lower bounds derived from an extended ATR window and multiplier—to project potential future price boundaries. Beyond simple range detection, the script incorporates a comprehensive suite of market structure tools by detecting swing highs/lows, order blocks, fair value gaps, and premium/discount zones, and it supports multi-timeframe analysis with customizable visual styles, labels, and alerts. This robust design enables traders to monitor real-time market structure and range dynamics, providing clear visual cues and automated alerts for significant breakout or reversal events.

VWAP StrategyVWAP and volatility filters for structured intraday trades. How the Strategy Works 1. VWAP Anchored to Session VWAP is calculated from the start of each trading day. Standard deviations are used to create bands above/below the VWAP. 2. Entry Triggers: Al Brooks H1/H2 and L1/L2 H1/H2 (Long Entry): Opens below 2nd lower deviation, closes above it. L1/L2 (Short Entry): Opens above 2nd upper deviation, closes below it. 3. Volatility Filter (ATR) Skips trades when deviation bands are too tight (< 3 ATRs). 4. Stop Loss Based on the signal bar’s high/low ± stop buffer. Longs: signalBarLow - stopBuffer Shorts: signalBarHigh + stopBuffer 5. Take Profit / Exit Target Exit logic is customizable per side: VWAP, Deviation Band, or None 6. Safety Exit Exits early if X consecutive bars go against the trade. Longs: X red bars Shorts: X green bars Explanation of Strategy Inputs - Stop Buffer: Distance from signal bar for stop-loss. - Long/Short Exit Rule: VWAP, Deviation Band, or None - Long/Short Target Deviation: Standard deviation for target exit. - Enable Safety Exit: Toggle emergency exit. - Opposing Bars: Number of opposing candles before safety exit. - Allow Long/Short Trades: Enable or disable entry side. - Show VWAP/Entry Bands: Toggle visual aids. - Highlight Low Vol Zones: Orange shading for low volatility skips. Tuning Tips - Stop buffer: Use 1–5 points. - Target deviation: Start with VWAP. In strong trends use 2nd deviation and turn off the counter-trend entry. - Safety exit: 3 bars recommended. - Disable short/long side to focus on one type of reversal. Backtest Setup Suggestions - initial_capital = 2000 - default_qty_value = 1 (fixed contracts or percent-of-equity)

VWAP with Bank/Psychological Levels by TBTPH V.2This Pine Script defines a custom VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) indicator with several additional features, such as dynamic bands, bank levels, session tracking, and price-crossing detection. Here's a breakdown of the main elements and logic: Key Components: VWAP Settings: The VWAP calculation is based on a source (e.g., hlc3), with an option to hide the VWAP on daily (1D) or higher timeframes. You can choose the VWAP "anchor period" (Session, Week, Month, etc.) for adjusting the VWAP calculation to different time scales. VWAP Bands: The script allows you to plot bands above and below the VWAP line. You can choose the calculation mode for the bands (Standard Deviation or Percentage), and the bands' width can be adjusted with a multiplier. These bands are drawn using a gray color and can be filled to create a shaded area. Bank Level Calculation: The concept of bank levels is added as horizontal levels spaced by a user-defined multiplier. These levels are drawn as dotted lines, and price labels are added to indicate each level. You can define how many bank levels are drawn above and below the base level. Session Indicators (LSE/NYSE): The script identifies the open and close times of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) sessions. It limits the signals to only appear during these sessions. VWAP Crossing Logic: If the price crosses the VWAP, the script colors the candle body white to highlight this event. Additional Plot Elements: A background color is applied based on whether the price is above or below the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). The VWAP line dynamically changes color based on whether the price is above or below it (green if above, red if below). Explanation of Key Sections: 1. VWAP and Band Calculation: pinescript Copy = ta.vwap(src, isNewPeriod, 1) vwapValue := _vwap stdevAbs = _stdevUpper - _vwap bandBasis = calcModeInput == "Standard Deviation" ? stdevAbs : _vwap * 0.01 upperBandValue1 := _vwap + bandBasis * bandMult_1 lowerBandValue1 := _vwap - bandBasis * bandMult_1 This code calculates the VWAP value (vwapValue) and standard deviation-based bands (upperBandValue1 and lowerBandValue1). 2. Bank Levels: pinescript Copy baseLevel = math.floor(currentPrice / bankLevelMultiplier) * bankLevelMultiplier The base level for the bank levels is calculated by rounding the current price to the nearest multiple of the bank level multiplier. Then, a loop creates multiple bank levels: pinescript Copy for i = -bankLevelRange to bankLevelRange level = baseLevel + i * bankLevelMultiplier line.new(x1=bar_index - 50, y1=level, x2=bar_index + 50, y2=level, color=highlightColor, width=2, style=line.style_dotted) label.new(bar_index, level, text=str.tostring(level), style=label.style_label_left, color=labelBackgroundColor, textcolor=labelTextColor, size=size.small) 3. Session Logic (LSE/NYSE): pinescript Copy lse_open = timestamp("GMT", year, month, dayofmonth, 8, 0) lse_close = timestamp("GMT", year, month, dayofmonth, 16, 30) nyse_open = timestamp("GMT-5", year, month, dayofmonth, 9, 30) nyse_close = timestamp("GMT-5", year, month, dayofmonth, 16, 0) The script tracks session times and filters the signals based on whether the current time falls within the LSE or NYSE session. 4. VWAP Crossing Detection: pinescript Copy candleCrossedVWAP = (close > vwapValue and close <= vwapValue) or (close < vwapValue and close >= vwapValue) barcolor(candleCrossedVWAP ? color.white : na) If the price crosses the VWAP, the candle's body is colored white to highlight the cross.

This strategy is particularly useful for traders who aim to capitalize on trend-following setups while avoiding choppy, ranging market conditions. --- ### **2. Key Components of the Strategy** #### **A. Range Filter (Trend Determination)** - The **Range Filter** smooths price fluctuations and helps identify clear trends. - It calculates an **adjusted price range** based on a **sampling period** and a **multiplier**, ensuring a dynamic trend-following approach. - **Uptrends:** When the current price is above the range filter and the trend is strengthening. - **Downtrends:** When the price falls below the range filter and momentum confirms the move. #### **B. RSI (Relative Strength Index) as Momentum Confirmation** - RSI is used to **filter out weak trades** and prevent entries during overbought/oversold conditions. - **Buy Signals:** RSI is above a certain threshold (e.g., 50) in an uptrend. - **Sell Signals:** RSI is below a certain threshold (e.g., 50) in a downtrend. #### **C. ADX (Average Directional Index) for Trend Strength Confirmation** - ADX ensures that trades are only taken when the trend has **sufficient strength**. - Avoids trading in low-volatility, ranging markets. - **Threshold (e.g., 25):** Only trade when ADX is above this value, indicating a strong trend. #### **D. ATR (Average True Range) for Risk Management** - **Stop Loss (SL):** Placed **one ATR below** (for long trades) or **one ATR above** (for short trades). - **Take Profit (TP):** Set at a **3:1 reward-to-risk ratio**, using ATR to determine realistic price targets. - Ensures volatility-adjusted risk management. --- ### **3. Entry and Exit Conditions** #### **📈 Buy (Long) Entry Conditions:** 1. **Price is above the Range Filter** → Indicates an uptrend. 2. **Upward trend strength is positive** (confirmed via trend counter). 3. **RSI is above the buy threshold** (e.g., 50, to confirm momentum). 4. **ADX confirms trend strength** (e.g., above 25). 5. **Volatility is supportive** (using ATR analysis). #### **📉 Sell (Short) Entry Conditions:** 1. **Price is below the Range Filter** → Indicates a downtrend. 2. **Downward trend strength is positive** (confirmed via trend counter). 3. **RSI is below the sell threshold** (e.g., 50, to confirm momentum). 4. **ADX confirms trend strength** (e.g., above 25). 5. **Volatility is supportive** (using ATR analysis). #### **🚪 Exit Conditions:** - **Stop Loss (SL):** - **Long Trades:** 1 ATR below entry price. - **Short Trades:** 1 ATR above entry price. - **Take Profit (TP):** - Set at **3x the risk distance** to achieve a favorable risk-reward ratio. - **Ranging Market Exit:** - If ADX falls below the threshold, indicating a weakening trend. --- ### **4. Visualization & Alerts** - **Colored range filter line** changes based on trend direction. - **Buy and Sell signals** appear as labels on the chart. - **Stop Loss and Take Profit levels** are plotted as dashed lines. - **Gray background highlights ranging markets** where trading is avoided. - **Alerts trigger on Buy, Sell, and Ranging Market conditions** for automation. --- ### **5. Advantages of the Enhanced Range Filter Strategy** ✅ **Trend-Following with Noise Reduction** → Helps avoid false signals by filtering out weak trends. ✅ **Momentum Confirmation with RSI & ADX** → Ensures that only strong, valid trades are executed. ✅ **Volatility-Based Risk Management** → ATR ensures adaptive stop loss and take profit placements. ✅ **Works on Multiple Timeframes** → Effective for day trading, swing trading, and scalping. ✅ **Visually Intuitive** → Clearly displays trade signals, SL/TP levels, and trend conditions. --- ### **6.
