Candle Range Classifier Dots OnlyCandle Range Classifier (Dots Only) This indicator analyzes the price range of each candle relative to its recent average range to classify market activity into three categories: wide range, narrow range, or normal range. Wide Range Candles (red dots above bars) indicate significant price movement and strong market effort. Narrow Range Candles (blue dots below bars) indicate low volatility and possible market absorption or consolidation. Normal Range Candles are not marked, keeping the chart clean and focused on meaningful range extremes.

✅ VMA Avg ATR + Days to Targets 🎯1) The trend filter: LazyBear VMA You implement the well‑known “LazyBear” Variable Moving Average (VMA) from price directional movement (pdm/mdm). Internally you: Smooth positive/negative one‑bar moves (pdmS, mdmS), Turn them into relative strengths (pdiS, mdiS), Measure their difference/total (iS), and Normalize that over a rolling window to get a scaling factor vI. The VMA itself is then an adaptive EMA: vma := (1 - k*vI) * vma + (k*vI) * close, where k = 1/vmaLen. When vI is larger, VMA hugs price more; when smaller, it smooths more. Coloring: Green when vma > vma (rising), Red when vma < vma (falling), White when flat. Candles are recolored to match. Why this matters: The VMA color is your trend regime; everything else in the script keys off changes in this color. 2) What counts as a “valid” new trend? A new trend is valid only when the previous bar was white and the current bar turns green or red: validTrendStart := vmaColor != color.white and vmaColor == color.white. When that happens, you start a trend segment: Save entry price (startPrice = close) and baseline ATR (startATR = ATR(atrLen)). Reset “extreme” trackers: extremeHigh = high, extremeLow = low. Timestamp the start (trendStartTime = time). Effect: You only study / trade transitions out of a flat VMA into a slope. This helps avoid chop and reduces false starts. 3) While the trend is active On each new bar without a color change: If green trend: update extremeHigh = max(extremeHigh, high). If red trend: update extremeLow = min(extremeLow, low). This tracks the best excursion from the entry during that single trend leg. 4) When the VMA color changes (trend ends) When vmaColor flips (green→red or red→green), you close the prior segment only if it was a valid trend (started after white). Then you: Compute how far price traveled in ATR units from the start: Uptrend ended: (extremeHigh - startPrice) / startATR Downtrend ended: (startPrice - extremeLow) / startATR Add that result to a running sum and count for the direction: totalUp / countUp, totalDown / countDown. Target checks for the ended trend (no look‑ahead): T1 uses the previous average ATR move before the just‑ended trend (prevAvgUp/prevAvgDown). Up: t1Up = startPrice + prevAvgUp * startATR Down: t1Down = startPrice - prevAvgDown * startATR T2 is a fixed 6× ATR move from the start (up or down). You increment hit counters and also accumulate time‑to‑hit (ms from trendStartTime) for any target that got reached during that ended leg. If T1 wasn’t reached, it counts as a miss. Immediately initialize the next potential trend segment with the current bar’s startPrice/startATR/extremes and set validTrendStart according to the “white → color” rule. Important detail: Using prevAvgUp/Down to evaluate T1 for the just‑completed trend avoids look‑ahead bias. The current trend’s performance isn’t used to set its own T1. 5) Running statistics & targets (for the current live trend) After closing/adding to totals: avgUp = totalUp / countUp and avgDown = totalDown / countDown are the historical average ATR move per valid trend for each direction. Current plotted targets (only visible while a valid trend is active and in that direction): T1 Up: startPrice + avgUp * startATR T2 Up: startPrice + 6 * startATR T1 Down: startPrice - avgDown * startATR T2 Down: startPrice - 6 * startATR The entry line is also plotted at startPrice when a valid trend is live. If there’s no history yet (e.g., first trend), avgUp/avgDown are na, so T1 is na until at least one valid trend has closed. T2 still shows (6× ATR). 6) Win rate & time metrics Win % (per direction): winUp = hitUpT1 / (hitUpT1 + missUp) and similarly for down. (This is strictly based on T1 hits vs misses; T2 hits don’t affect Win% directly.) Average days to hit T1/T2: The script stores milliseconds from trend start to each target hit, then reports the average in days separately for Up/Down and for T1/T2. 7) The dashboard table (bottom‑right) It shows, side‑by‑side for Up/Down: Avg ATR: historical average ATR move per completed valid trend. 🎯 Target 1 / Target 2: the current trend’s price levels (T1 = avgATR×ATR; T2 = 6×ATR). ✅ Win %: T1 hit rate so far. ⏱ Days to T1/T2: average days (from valid trend start) for the targets that were reached. 8) Alerts “New Trend Detected” when a valid trend starts (white → green/red). Target hits for the active trend: Uptrend: separate alerts for T1 and T2 (high >= target). Downtrend: separate alerts for T1 and T2 (low <= target). 9) Inputs & defaults vmaLen = 17: governs how adaptive/smooth the VMA is (larger = smoother, fewer trend flips). atrLen = 14: ATR baseline for sizing targets and normalizing moves. 10) Practical read of the plots When you see white → green: that bar is your valid entry (trend start). An Entry Line appears at the start price. Target lines appear only for the active direction. T1 scales with your historical average ATR move; T2 is a fixed stretch (6× ATR). The table updates as more trends complete, refining: The average ATR reach (which resets your T1 sizing), The win rate to T1, and The average days it typically takes to hit T1/T2. Subtle points / edge cases No look‑ahead: T1 for a finished trend is checked against the prior average (not including the trend itself). First trends: Until at least one valid trend completes, T1 is na (no history). T2 still shows. Only “valid” trends are counted: Segments must start after a white bar; flips that happen color→color without a white in between don’t start a new valid trend. Time math: Uses bar timestamps in ms, converted to days; results reflect the chart’s timeframe/market session. TL;DR The VMA color defines the regime; entries only trigger when a flat (white) VMA turns green/red. Each trend’s max excursion from entry is recorded in ATR units. T1 for current trends = (historical average ATR move) × current ATR from entry; T2 = 6× ATR. The table shows your evolving edge (avg ATR reach, T1 win%, and days to targets), and alerts fire on new trends and target hits. If you want, I can add optional features like: per‑ticker persistence of stats, excluding very short trends, or making T2 a user input instead of a fixed 6× ATR.

Opening Range v3 (Dynamic)Opening Range Signals v3 (Dynamic) - Indicator Guide Created by: MecarderoAurum Why This Indicator Exists: An Overview The "Opening Range Signals" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for day traders who focus their strategy on the price action that unfolds during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) of the New York session (09:30 - 16:00 ET). The opening period of the market, often called the "initial balance," is a critical time where institutions and traders establish the early high and low for the day. Trading the breakout of this range is a classic and effective strategy, but it's often plagued by false moves and "head fakes." This indicator was built to solve that problem. It not only identifies the initial range but also incorporates a powerful dynamic expansion feature. This allows the indicator to intelligently adapt to early session volatility, filter out false breakouts, and establish more reliable support and resistance levels for the rest of the trading day. It provides a clear, visual framework for executing opening range strategies with more confidence. Key Features & How to Use Them 1. Customizable Opening Range This is the foundation of the indicator. It draws the high and low of the initial trading period on your chart. What it does: Establishes the initial support and resistance levels for the day. How to use it: In the settings under "Time Settings," you can set the "Opening Range Duration" from 1 to 30 minutes. A shorter duration (e.g., 5 minutes) will be more sensitive and give earlier signals, while a longer duration (e.g., 30 minutes) will establish a wider, more robust range. 2. Dynamic Range Expansion This is the indicator's most powerful and unique feature. It helps you avoid getting trapped in false breakouts. What it does: If the price breaks out of the initial range but then quickly closes back inside, the indicator will automatically expand the range to include the full wick of the failed breakout. This tells you the market is still establishing its true range. How to use it: In the settings under "Dynamic Range," you can: "Enable Dynamic Range Expansion": This is on by default. "Expansion Time Limit (Min)": Set how long the indicator should look for these failed breakouts. After this time, the range will be locked for the day. 3. Clear Visual Trading Signals The indicator provides three distinct signals to help you interpret the price action around the opening range. Breakout Body (Yellow plotshape): What it means: The first confirmation that the price has decisively moved outside the established range. It appears when a candle's body closes entirely above the high or below the low. How to use it: This is your alert that a potential breakout is underway. Do not enter yet; wait for confirmation. Continuation (Green plotshape): What it means: This signal appears on the candle immediately following a breakout if it shows momentum in the same direction. It confirms that the breakout has strength. How to use it: This is a potential entry trigger. A continuation signal suggests the breakout is valid and may continue. Failure (Red plotshape): What it means: This signal appears if, after a breakout and continuation, the price quickly reverses and closes back inside the range. It's a strong indication of a false breakout. How to use it: If you are in a breakout trade, a failure signal is a clear sign to exit. It can also be used as a setup for a reversal trade in the opposite direction. Sample Strategy: The Breakout-Continuation Trade This strategy uses the indicator's signals to trade a classic opening range breakout with added confirmation. Setup: Set the "Opening Range Duration" to your preferred time (e.g., 5 or 15 minutes). Ensure the "Dynamic Range Expansion" is enabled to filter out early noise. Entry Trigger: Wait for a Breakout signal (yellow) to appear. This puts you on high alert. Wait for a Continuation signal (green) on the very next candle. This is your entry trigger. Enter a long trade on a bullish continuation or a short trade on a bearish continuation. Stop-Loss: For a bullish (long) trade, a common stop-loss placement is just below the low of the continuation candle or, for a more conservative stop, just inside the opening range high. For a bearish (short) trade, place your stop-loss just above the high of the continuation candle or just inside the opening range low. Trade Management: If a Failure signal (red) appears after you've entered, it indicates the breakout has failed. This is a strong signal to exit your trade immediately to protect your capital. If the trade moves in your favor, you can manage it by taking profits at key levels or using a trailing stop.
