Range Budget [AFD]
Range Budget answers one question at a glance: **how much of a
typical session's range has today already used?**
A day that has spent 40% of its typical range and a day that has spent 130% are different trading environments. This indicator measures which one you are in, from this chart's own price history, and says so in one number, onecolour, and one word.
###What it does###
- **Headline percentage** — today's realized range so far, divided by thetypical completed-session range. Never clamped: a wide day reads 130%, not100%.
- **State word and meter** — ROOM → PAST HALF (50%) → NEAR FULL (80%) → OVER
TYPICAL (100%). The word, the meter and every state colour come from the same thresholds, so they cannot disagree.
- **Envelope levels** — session low + typical range, and session high − typicalrange, drawn as glowing lines with a gradient band between them. Aconditional identity, not a projection: IF the session finishes at itstypical size AND the low holds, the high lands exactly on the upper level. Once the day crosses its typical range, the levels take the state colour.
- **Percentile ladder** (optional) — where a finished day of each size (p25 /p50 / p75 / p90 of the lookback window) would top out, measured up fromtoday's low. Nearest-rank percentiles: every rung is a session range thatactually occurred, never an interpolation.
- **Dashboard** — distance left to (or past) typical in both price points andpercent, how many of the last N sessions ran wider than typical, and optional detail rows (range so far, typical range, percentile standing,widest/narrowest, envelope and ladder values). Compact by default; everycryptic cell explains itself on hover; the whole panel can be switched off.
###How it works###
- **Typical range is user-selectable**, and the chart always names the activestatistic:
- **ADR** — the average of the last N completed session ranges (high − low).
- **ATR RMA** — the average true range, so overnight gaps count. Seeded withthe first true range rather than an initial SMA, which is why it is labelled "ATR RMA" and will not match `ta.atr()` to the last digit. Under ATR the numerator is the live session's true range too, so the percentageis never a ratio of two different measures.
- **Median** — the middle completed session range, which is also theladder's p50 rung.
- The three are identical on a symbol that never gaps and diverge as gaps grow — on heavily gapping symbols ATR can run near 2.5× ADR. That is why the choice exists and why the active one is named on the chart.
- **Completed sessions only.** The live day never feeds its own denominator —a partial day would drag the typical range down as the day progressed and bias the percentage upward with no symptom. Statistics update when a session completes; the live day contributes only its running range.
- **One session rule for everything.** Regular hours or regular + extended:history and the live day follow the same rule, and if the filter cannot change anything on your chart (no extended-hours bars loaded), the dashboard says so instead of staying silent.
- **The sample is what your chart holds.** n is capped by the sessions actually loaded — roughly 64 completed regular-hours sessions on a 5-minute chart from 5,000 bars on a Basic plan, more on higher plans and higher timeframes. The dashboard shows the n actually in use, plus a spread figure ((p90 − p25) ÷ p50) that says whether recent sessions were similar in size
or mixed.
- Eleven plotted values sit in the Data Window (percentage, ranges, envelope percentiles, sample size and more), so every number on the panel can be read, checked and exported.
###How to use it###
1. Add it to a liquid intraday chart. The defaults are the intended reading: compact dashboard, ADR(20), regular hours.
2. Read the headline first. ROOM means the day is still small next to its recent finished sessions; OVER TYPICAL means it has already run further than a typical one.
3. Use the envelope as context for the day's remaining room under the stated conditions — the tooltip on every input spells those conditions out.
4. Turn on the ladder to see today against the whole recent distribution instead of one average: price between p50 and p75 means today has already matched a mid-sized finished day.
5. Hover the bottom row of the dashboard whenever a figure is unclear — the statistic, the sample and any active caveat (gap counted, filter inert, no completed session yet) are explained there.
###What it deliberately does not do###
**Realized range from OHLCV — not an implied or expected move.** Every number is measured from this chart's own price history. Nothing comes from options pricing, and the typical range describes completed sessions — a description of what happened, not a statement about what happens next.
- No alerts, no signals, no entries or exits.
- Counts stay counts — "Sessions over typical: 4 of last 20" describes this chart's history, and the indicator never converts a count into odds.
- The percentage is never capped at 100%, because a day past its typical range is the most informative reading the tool produces.
###Why it is original###
Range tools usually hand you one number (an ADR level pair) or one overlay (an ATR band). Range Budget treats the session range as a budget and reports its consumption: one percentage against a user-chosen, chart-named statistic, computed from completed sessions only, with its sample size, its spread and every degeneracy disclosed on the panel itself. The three statistics are not interchangeable and the tool is built around that fact rather than hiding it: the active one is named on the chart, the ATR path measures true range on both sides of the ratio, and the ladder shows the whole recent distribution so one average never has to stand in for it.

AlgoStorm Expected Move Levels (EML)AlgoStorm Expected Move Levels (EML)
A precision options-implied range mapping tool that plots daily and weekly ±1σ and ±2σ expected-move bands from the ATM straddle, from implied volatility, or from an automatic average-range fallback — with a live meter showing how much of the average daily and weekly range has already been consumed.
The AlgoStorm Expected Move Levels (EML) indicator is designed for index and futures traders who trade with the options market's own forecast. The at-the-money straddle is the market's priced bet on how far the underlying travels before expiry; the expected move derived from it defines the range the market is paid to defend. Gamma levels show where dealers defend — the expected move shows how far the market is priced to travel . Together they form the complete options-informed map for index futures, and EML is the second half of that pair.
DATA INPUT — READ BEFORE LOADING
This indicator carries no built-in options data feed. Setup is a single paste. Our free browser-based GEX dashboard includes an Expected Move calculator that auto-fills spot and the ATM straddle from delayed CBOE quotes and emits one CSV line — 1,anchor,dailyStraddle,weeklyStraddle,multiplier (example: 1,6350.25,44.30,94.80,0.85). Drop that line into the EM Data field and every value is populated at once; the leading 1 is a format version the script validates, so a malformed or mismatched paste is flagged on the chart instead of silently plotting nonsense.
Prefer to work from your own options chain? The Manual Entry group still accepts an ATM straddle price (call + put at the strike nearest spot) or an annualized implied-volatility figure, and a valid paste simply takes precedence over it. With the paste field empty and both manual inputs at zero, the script runs standalone on its average-range fallback, so it works out of the box. Refresh the paste once per session, before the open.
Symbol Mode: SPX / ES plots pasted values as-is — SPX options are struck at the same levels ES trades. SPY mode divides the pasted anchor and straddles by 10. Scaling is applied to pasted values only; manual entries are always read in chart units.
Technical Architecture: Triple-Source Expected Move Pipeline
Versioned Paste Decoder: One string input carries anchor, daily straddle, weekly straddle and multiplier — validated on version and field count, with every absent slot decoding to zero so it falls through to the manual entries and then to the range fallback. The info table reports whether the live values came from the paste, from manual entry, or from the automatic fallback.
Straddle Conversion Engine: EM(1σ) = ATM straddle × 0.85. A straddle's price is its expected payout; under a normal approximation, roughly 85% of that payout equals the 1σ price range. The multiplier is exposed as an input — set 1.0 to use the raw straddle convention instead. A pasted line carries its own multiplier and takes precedence; when using the paste workflow, adjust the multiplier on the dashboard before copying.
Volatility Mode: EM(daily) = anchor × IV × √(1/252) and EM(weekly) = anchor × IV × √(5/252), the trading-day convention. Useful when you track IV but not option prices.
Automatic Fallback Cascade: Any zeroed input degrades gracefully — daily falls back to the Average Daily Range (default 14 days), weekly to the Average Weekly Range (default 8 weeks), and a missing weekly straddle first derives from the daily straddle × √5. The info table always displays which source is live, so there is never ambiguity about what the bands represent.
Chart-Side Lock Engine: The script contains zero request.security calls. Anchors and bands compute from the chart's own session boundaries and lock at the day/week open — they cannot move intraday, and there is no repaint path by construction.
Range Consumption Meter: Completed daily and weekly ranges feed fixed-length rolling windows; the current period's range is expressed as a percentage of its average ("today has used 78% of its average range") — the continuation/exhaustion filter the EM bands are read with.
Features & Functionality
Daily Expected Move Bands: ±1σ and optional ±2σ steplines around a configurable anchor — prior close (the desk-quoting convention, default), today's open, or the spot price carried in the paste.
Weekly Expected Move Bands: The identical structure anchored at the weekly boundary, off by default for chart cleanliness.
Anchor Lines: Dimmed reference steplines marking the exact price the bands are centred on.
Live Info Table: Effective daily and weekly EM with source labels, ADR/AWR values, day/week range-consumption percentages that highlight when a range is fully spent, and an EM Data row reporting paste / manual / fallback status.
Symbol Mode: SPX / ES one-to-one, or SPY with pasted values auto-scaled ÷10 — a chart label confirms whenever scaling is active.
Alert Suite: Seven conditions — daily ±1σ break, daily ±2σ break (tail move), weekly ±1σ break, and ADR exhausted (day range reaches 100% of average). All fire on confirmed closes; a crossed band cannot move away afterward.
Honest limitations: the expected move is model context, not a boundary — roughly one day in three closes outside the ±1σ band by construction, because that is what 1σ means . Straddle and IV inputs are static: re-enter them when the session rolls or the volatility regime shifts. ADR/AWR use chart-session ranges, which on continuous futures include the overnight session — usually what you want on full-Globex instruments, but know your convention.

Average Daily Range ProjectionWHAT IT DOES
The Average Daily Range (ADR) Projection converts a historical average range into live price levels based on the range already realized during the current session.
Rather than anchoring fixed ADR bands to the session open or another single reference price, the indicator conditions each projection on the session's developing high and low. It answers a specific question: given the range already traded, where would price need to reach for this session to equal its recent average range?
Two independent sets let you compare separate baselines, such as the regular trading session versus the full futures session or a short lookback versus a longer one. This shows when price has satisfied one definition of its typical range while remaining below another.
CALCULATION
For each set, the indicator averages high minus low over up to the most recent N completed session windows. The ADR is fixed at the start of a new session; only the projected prices change as the current high and low develop. A partial session encountered when the script first loads is excluded.
Let ADR be the historical average, H the current session high, and L the current session low:
remaining = max(ADR - (H - L), 0)
upper projection = H + remaining
lower projection = L - remaining
Before the session has completed its ADR, these reduce to:
upper projection = L + ADR
lower projection = H - ADR
These are conditional range-completion thresholds. A new high raises the lower projection, while a new low lowers the upper projection. As realized range expands, the additional movement required to equal ADR decreases. A reached threshold freezes and is labeled FILLED.
HOW TO READ IT
An open projection marks the price that would complete the configured average range in that direction, assuming the opposite session extreme does not change first. Its distance from price represents remaining range relative to the benchmark, not a prediction that price will reach it.
A FILLED label means the session range has reached or exceeded that set's trailing mean. If one set is filled while the other remains open, the session has satisfied one baseline but not the other.
Previous-session lines may be retained to review completed thresholds on the selected instrument and timeframe.
INPUTS
ADR Period sets the maximum number of completed sessions in each average. During initial data collection, the indicator starts after one complete session and uses the available sample until the selected period is populated.
Session Start, Session End, and Timezone define each measurement window; overnight windows are supported. Set 1 and Set 2 may use different windows, ADR periods, and styling. Show Previous Sessions retains completed levels, while Max Previous Sessions limits their number. Other controls manage labels, first-fill emphasis, and the optional information table.
The default Pacific-time windows are:
Set 1: 06:30 to 13:55, 14-session ADR
Set 2: 15:00 to 13:55, 14-session ADR
ALERTS
Four alert conditions cover upper and lower fills for both sets.
LIMITATIONS AND CALCULATION BEHAVIOR
ADR is a trailing sample mean, not a percentile, confidence interval, forecast, or estimate of reversal probability. Reaching it does not establish that a move is rare, exhausted, or likely to reverse. Outliers and volatility-regime changes can materially affect the average.
The script does not use future data or lookahead and does not repaint completed levels from future information. Active projections intentionally update as the session high or low changes, including during an open realtime bar. Completed-session lines show final or filled levels, not every level occupied intraday. Label Offset moves labels to the right for readability only; it does not reference future prices.
Calculations use extended-hours data so a full-session window remains intact on a regular-hours chart. Results depend on the data supplied by the symbol's feed, and an off-chart fill may already be marked when the next visible bar opens.
Designed for intraday charts with standard candles. Synthetic chart types can produce ranges and alerts based on synthetic prices rather than actual traded OHLC values. Indicator
Ultimate Risk Manager - Position Sizing and Trade LevelsUltimate Risk Manager is a pre-trade risk planner built around one idea: sizing and stop placement should
be decided before the trade, from the market's own volatility, on any instrument you trade. It aims to be
the last position-sizing tool you need to install — one engine for FX (both 5-decimal and JPY 3-decimal
pairs), crypto, stocks, metals, index CFDs and futures.
It does not generate buy or sell signals and it does not predict anything. You bring the analysis; it
draws the map and does the arithmetic.
WHAT IT DOES
You choose a direction, an execution mode (Market, Limit or Stop order) and — for pending orders — an
entry price taken from your own analysis: an order block, a session high or low, a fair value gap, a
support level, whatever your process produces. The tool then:
- derives the stop from the Average Daily Range (ADR) of completed daily bars, at a configurable share
of that range (default 33%);
- projects up to three take-profit levels at the R multiples you choose;
- sizes the position from your account balance, risk percentage and the instrument's contract
specifications, converting the quote currency into your account currency automatically;
- shows how much of an average day the market has ALREADY travelled today (the "range budget"), so you
can judge whether there is room left for the plan;
- draws every level on the chart with its price, distance and suggested size, and summarises the whole
plan in one panel.
HOW THE SIZING WORKS
One formula covers every asset class:
size = (balance x risk%) / (stop distance x units per lot x quote-to-account rate)
Units per lot are auto-detected (100,000 for FX, point value for futures, 1 for shares and coins) and can
be overridden, because brokers differ — gold is 100 oz at most brokers and 10 at some. The value in use
and the conversion rate applied are always printed in the panel so you can verify both against your
broker's specifications in seconds. If the conversion rate is unavailable, the size reads "—" and the
panel says why: this tool never shows a silently wrong number.
Pip distances are derived from the quote currency, not from a list of ticker names, so every JPY cross is
handled correctly regardless of broker symbol suffixes.
FREEZE MODE
By default the plan follows price — it is a moving ruler. Enable "Freeze setup until SL / TP" to lock the
current plan into a tracked setup: entry, stop, targets and size stay put, anchored at the bar where you
froze them. The freeze resolves only when price touches the stop or a target, and then a fresh plan is
captured automatically. Fill, stop and target alerts exist only in freeze mode, because alerting on a
moving ruler would be noise.
The freeze lifecycle runs on confirmed bars using completed OHLC, so it does not repaint. On a bar whose
range spans both the stop and a target, the stop is scored first — the conservative reading.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Set your account balance, account currency and risk percentage. The script cannot read your broker
equity; you own the balance number and should update it each session.
2. Pick a direction and an execution mode. For Limit or Stop orders, set the entry price from your own
analysis. The panel will flag an entry placed on the wrong side of price for its mode.
3. Read the plan: stop, targets, size, money at risk, and the range budget.
4. Optionally freeze the setup and create the three freeze alerts ("entry filled", "stop hit",
"target hit") using PulseWire's alert dialog.
5. Verify the units-per-lot and the conversion rate shown in the panel against your broker before
placing any real order.
CALIBRATING THE STOP — READ THIS BEFORE JUDGING THE DEFAULTS
The 33% ADR default is calibrated for PRECISION trading: limit entries placed at premium or discount
extremes of the range, where the location of the entry itself absorbs most of the adverse travel. If that
is your style, a third of an average day is meaningful room.
Entries taken mid-flow are a different situation. Stop orders and instant market executions typically
need a LARGER share of the ADR to survive ordinary intraday noise, because they enter where the market is
already moving. If you trade breakouts or at-market, widen the stop percentage before concluding anything
about the tool.
The ADR itself is measured over completed daily bars only (never the forming day), with a selectable
basis: the classic High-Low range, or Close-to-Close drift for methods calibrated to it.
WHAT IT IS NOT
This is a planning and sizing tool, not a strategy and not advice. It will not tell you where to enter —
that is your analysis, and the quality of the plan depends entirely on the quality of the level you feed
it. Average ranges describe the past; any given day can exceed or fall short of them. Position sizes are
suggestions computed from the inputs you set, and contract specifications vary by broker: always verify
against your broker before trading.

DTC Intra - Intraday Momentum and Context for Day TradersWhat it does
DTC Intra+ is an intraday momentum tool for day traders working the regular session. Its job is to surface momentum days early and keep the day's context in view while a move develops. The core is a set of readings that judge whether today is a real momentum day — a strict gap-and-hold flag, relative volume, an unusual-move profile, and time-of-session structure — supported by the moving averages, volume-weighted average price and a multi-market minicharts panel you use to trade once a momentum day is confirmed.
The parts that are specific to this tool
- Strong Start (gap and hold). Instead of a raw gap-up alert, this flags a day only when the stock gaps up and then holds the gap: the open is above the prior close and the day's low never breaks back below that prior close by more than a tolerance you set. A gap that holds behaves very differently from one that fills, so this is a stricter and more actionable read than a plain gap alert.
- Burst ranker. Counts how many large single-day moves (up 5%, 10% and 17% or more) a stock has produced over a chosen lookback and summarizes the result as a Great / Good / Low read on a daily chart. This describes the stock's momentum regime — whether it is the kind of name that produces the explosive days an intraday momentum trader is looking for — rather than just its state today.
- Multi-market minicharts panel. Up to three mini candlestick panels of any symbols and timeframes you choose are drawn on the chart, so you can watch an index, a sector benchmark or a related market without leaving your main chart. Each mini panel is rescaled to fit its own compact frame, so a very different price scale never distorts your main chart's axis, and each can show its own moving average and volume-weighted average price. The panel is off by default; turn it on with its master switch. If you enable it on a higher timeframe than a panel's own setting (for example viewing a Daily chart with a panel set to 5 minutes), the panel automatically falls back to the chart's timeframe instead of loading excessive intrabar data.
Credit: this panel is adapted from the open-source "Minicharts Multi Market" engine by PulseWire user helman13 (Herman Trading), used under its Mozilla Public License 2.0. Several markets side by side with trend and value context on each — which is what an intraday trader watching related instruments needs. Credit for the minicharts engine goes to helman13; the rest of the tool is original to DTC Intra.
Momentum and context readings
A single, repositionable table gathers the numbers that tell you whether today matters:
- Relative volume — today's volume against its historical average.
- Daily average range percentage — a quick read on the stock's typical daily travel.
- The burst ranking and Strong Start flag described above.
- Sector/industry lookup and a session-in-progress readout.
Session structure and volume behavior
- Intraday session boxes (morning, mid-day and afternoon by default, matched to NSE trading hours) with fully editable time ranges, timezone and colors, so you can see at a glance which part of the session a move happened in — participation and reliability differ sharply between the open, the lunch lull and the close.
- Volume-based candle coloring that flags candles trading at 150% and 200%-plus of a configurable average volume, split by direction, so you can see whether a move has participation behind it without a separate pane.
- Daily divider labels to separate trading days on an intraday chart.
Trading tools (used once a momentum day is confirmed)
- Four configurable moving averages (10/20/50/200, choice of simple, exponential, weighted or Hull) and a session volume-weighted average price for intraday trend and mean-reversion reference.
How to use it
- Add it to an intraday chart.
- At the open, watch the Strong Start flag and the relative-volume reading: a held gap on above-average volume early in the session is the setup this tool is built to surface, and the burst ranking tells you whether the stock is the type that follows through.
- Use the session boxes to set expectations for the current window, and the volume candle colors to confirm participation before acting.
- Use the moving averages and volume-weighted average price to time entries and stops, and enable the multi-market minicharts panel to keep an index or related market in view for confirmation.
- Every block has its own on/off toggle, so you can reduce the tool to only the parts you use.
Notes
- Volume-based readings depend on the symbol having reliable intraday volume and are weaker where that data is poor.
- Session times default to NSE market hours in the Asia/Kolkata timezone and are meant to be edited to your own market and location.
- Tables and colors adapt to a light or dark chart automatically.
- Open source. Every input has a plain-language label and tooltip, so you do not need to read Pine to use it.
- For educational and informational purposes only. Not financial advice.

HTF Candle TerminalTitle: HTF Candle Terminal: Advanced Institutional Volume & Range Engine
Description:
Welcome to the HTF Candle Terminal – a complete, institutional-grade toolkit designed to bridge the gap between Higher Timeframe (HTF) market structure and Lower Timeframe (LTF) execution.
This indicator acts as a real-time trading terminal directly on your chart, projecting higher timeframe data, volume clusters, volatility bands, and dynamic price zones so you never lose track of the macro trend while executing on the micro level.
What does it do?
Instead of switching back and forth between timeframes, the HTF Candle Terminal anchors itself to a Higher Timeframe of your choice (e.g., 4-Hour, Daily). Once a new HTF session begins, the terminal starts mapping the battlefield in real-time, calculating institutional volume, statistically probable ranges, and liquidity sweeps.
🔥 Core Features (A to Z)
1. Live HTF Candle Projection
To the right of the current price action, the indicator draws a live, constantly updating "Macro Candle." This gives you an instant visual representation of what the higher timeframe candle looks like (Open, High, Low, Close) without ever leaving your current chart. Accompanying the candle is a real-time trend status (e.g., "Very Strong Bullish" or "Bearish") based on how price is behaving relative to the HTF Open and Volume Nodes.
2. Dynamic Volume Profiling & POC (Point of Control)
The terminal tracks every drop of volume from the moment the HTF candle opens.
Bull/Bear Zones: It creates distinct bullish (above open) and bearish (below open) volume zones.
Split POC: It isolates the highest volume node for buyers (Short Line) and sellers (Long Line).
Zone Breakouts: If price decisively breaks and closes through a POC line from the opposite side, it invalidates that volume node, dynamically clearing the map to signal a strong directional shift.
Auto Row Size: The script includes an intelligent algorithm that automatically calculates the perfect row/tick size for the volume profile based on the volatility of the previous HTF candle.
3. Statistical Range Projections (Excursions)
How far did the last HTF candle travel from its open? The terminal mathematically measures the percentage expansion of the previous HTF candle and projects those exact percentages (e.g., +1.25%, -0.80%) onto the current candle's open. This gives you highly accurate, historically-backed target zones for the current session.
4. HTF ATR & ADR Projections (Volatility Boundaries)
Knowing where price should stop is just as important as knowing where it is going.
ATR (Average True Range): Projects the HTF's current True Range (+/- 0.5 ATR by default) from the open price, giving you realistic daily/session volatility boundaries.
ADR (Average Daily Range): Projects the chart's average daily movement anchored to the HTF open. When price hits these outer bands, it signals mathematical exhaustion—perfect for take-profit targeting or mean-reversion setups.
5. Liquidity Sweep Detection (PH & PL)
The script draws dashed lines representing the Previous HTF High (PH) and Previous HTF Low (PL). If the current price action pokes through these levels but fails to hold, the terminal instantly marks the chart with a precise "✖" label, alerting you to a potential liquidity sweep/hunt.
6. HTF Anchored VWAP
An optional (toggleable) Volume Weighted Average Price anchored precisely to the start of the HTF candle. This acts as the ultimate institutional "fair value" baseline. If price is above the VWAP, momentum is confirmed bullish; if below, bearish.
💡 How to Use the Terminal in Your Trading
Trade the Open: The most critical level is the dashed HTF Open line. Treat it as the equator. Longs above, shorts below.
Target the Extremes: Use the Excursion lines, ATR, and ADR bands as your primary Take-Profit (TP) zones. When price reaches these levels, the market is mathematically overextended.
Watch the POCs: The Bull and Bear POC lines act as heavy magnets. If price is returning to the open, watch for bounces off the POC. If a POC is broken, ride the momentum in the direction of the break.
Trade the Sweeps: Look for an "✖" marker at the PH or PL lines. A sweep combined with a rejection back into the HTF Open zone is one of the highest probability reversal setups available.
⚙️ Full Customization
Every element is built to be customized. Change the colors of the HTF candle, adjust global label sizes, toggle VWAP/ATR/ADR on or off, and tweak the transparency of historical boxes to keep your chart perfectly clean.
Developed with precision for structural and quantitative traders.

ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily RangeThis indicator provides a clean and flexible way to monitor Average Daily Range (ADR) with two distinct calculation modes, along with visual levels and a detailed historical table.
Calculation Modes
- Classic Mode: Uses the standard daily candle range (high minus low of regular daily bars). This is the traditional daily range calculation.
- Midnight Mode: Calculates the daily range from midnight to midnight in America/New_York time. This provides a true calendar-day range independent of session opens.
You can switch between the two modes instantly using the dropdown in the settings. All table values, percentages, and 80% ADR levels update dynamically based on the selected mode.
The indicator plots the following levels from a session anchor point:
- Full ADR (above and below)
- 1/3 ADR (Judas levels)
- 80% ADR measured from the current daily high and low (two lines) - user selectable %
All lines are dynamically managed to avoid duplication and update cleanly as new sessions begin. Labels on the right side display price levels and can be toggled on or off.
Historical Table
A customizable table displays the following information for the selected number of days:
- Day or Date (user selectable)
- 5-Day ADR value for each historical day
- 80% of that day's 5-Day ADR
- Actual daily Range
- Percentage of the 5-Day ADR reached that day
The current/live row shows Today's Range compared against the active 5-Day ADR, including the percentage reached and the 80% target level. The table supports multiple sizes and positions.

Auto Range / Lateral Consolidation Box DetectorAuto Range / Lateral Consolidation Box Detector
Overview
The Auto Range / Lateral Consolidation Box Detector is designed to automatically identify and draw price ranges where a stock is moving sideways after a prior advance.
Instead of manually drawing rectangle boxes around consolidation areas, this indicator detects them objectively using price containment, range width, prior trend movement, ADR, moving-average structure, and optional volume/RSI filters.
The purpose is to help traders identify:
lateral consolidations
tight launch shelves
continuation bases
range breakouts
failed ranges
breakout/retest zones
early momentum continuation structures
This tool is especially useful for traders who look for stocks that have already shown strength, pause in a controlled range, and then attempt to continue higher.
Core Concept
Many strong momentum moves do not happen randomly. They often follow a repeatable structure:
Prior advance → sideways range → breakout → continuation
This indicator attempts to locate that sideways range automatically.
The blue dashed boxes show detected consolidation zones. When price breaks above a completed range, the indicator can mark the breakout and preserve the prior box so the trader can review the structure historically.
The goal is not to predict breakouts blindly. The goal is to make range structure easier to detect, measure, and trade with defined risk.
What the Indicator Detects
The indicator identifies two main types of structures:
1. Standard Rectangle Range
This is a broader lateral consolidation that usually forms over a larger number of candles.
It is useful for detecting:
multi-week consolidations
continuation bases
sideways digestion after an advance
breakout/retest setups
controlled pullbacks above moving averages
A standard rectangle is best used when price has already advanced and then begins moving sideways in a defined box.
2. Tight Launch Shelf
This is a shorter, tighter range that often forms just before a momentum expansion.
It is useful for detecting:
short pauses near highs
high-tight continuation shelves
pre-breakout compression
momentum names that do not build long bases
stocks that pause briefly before expanding again
This feature was added because some of the strongest stocks do not consolidate for weeks. They may only pause for several sessions before breaking out.
How the Boxes Work
The indicator measures the range using completed prior candles only.
This is important because the breakout candle itself should not distort the range.
For example, if a stock breaks out above a tight rectangle, the breakout candle may be much larger than the range. If the script included that candle in the box calculation, it would make the range look wider than it actually was.
This script avoids that issue by asking:
“Before the current breakout candle, was there a valid sideways range?”
That allows the indicator to draw the actual consolidation area more accurately.

How I Use It in My Strategy
This indicator fits into a continuation-style trading strategy built around strength, structure, and timing.
The process is:
1. Find a stock with prior strength
I want to see that the stock has already proven demand.
That may include:
strong prior advance
relative strength versus the market
rising moving averages
reclaim or hold above the 200 SMA
improving volume profile
strong sector or theme participation
recent earnings, catalyst, or institutional attention
The indicator is not used to find random sideways stocks. It is used to find sideways ranges after strength has already appeared.
2. Let the stock build a range
Once a stock has moved, I want to see whether it can hold gains.
A clean range tells me:
buyers are defending higher prices
sellers are not fully taking control
price is digesting instead of collapsing
moving averages may be catching up
risk can be defined around the box
This is where the auto box becomes useful.
Instead of manually drawing every range, the indicator highlights areas where price is compressing or consolidating.
3. Use the box for trade planning
The box gives me three major trade locations:
Trade LocationUse CaseRange lowSupport-defense entryRange highBreakout triggerBreakout retestPreferred continuation entry
I generally do not want to enter randomly in the middle of the box unless I have another strong reason.
The best trades usually come from:
range-low defense,
breakout through range high,
or breakout followed by a retest that holds.
4. Confirm with other tools
This indicator identifies structure, but it is not a standalone buy signal.
Before taking a trade, I still want confirmation from:
relative strength
catalyst/news/earnings context
sector/theme strength
ADR/movement potential
volume expansion
VWAP/AVWAP location
volume profile levels
option-chain liquidity if using options
broader market regime
The box tells me where the trade may be forming.
The rest of the process tells me whether it deserves capital.
How Other Traders Can Use It
This indicator can be adapted to several trading styles.
Momentum Traders
Momentum traders can use it to identify stocks that are pausing after a strong move and preparing for another push.
Best use:
breakout above range high
breakout with volume
tight launch shelf breakouts
high-relative-volume names
strong sector/theme participation
Swing Traders
Swing traders can use it to locate multi-day or multi-week continuation bases.
Best use:
buy breakout/retest
enter near range support with defined risk
use the box low as invalidation
use the box height for measured-move targets
combine with daily/weekly trend structure
Breakout Traders
Breakout traders can use the box high as an objective breakout level.
Best use:
price closes above the range high
volume expands above average
range is not too wide
stock is above key moving averages
market regime supports continuation
Mean-Reversion Traders
Mean-reversion traders can use the range boundaries in the opposite way.
Best use:
fade weak breakouts back into the range
buy range low if buyers defend
sell/avoid failed range highs
use the midpoint as a decision level
Position Traders
Position traders can use detected boxes as add zones during a larger trend.
Best use:
add after a valid base forms above rising moving averages
trail risk below higher base lows
identify where trend continuation is being accepted
avoid adding after emotional vertical moves without digestion

RSI Settings
RSI filters can be used to avoid ranges that are either too weak or too extended.
Suggested use:
PurposeSettingAvoid weak rangesMinimum RSI 40Allow momentum leadersMaximum RSI 80–85Stricter resetMax RSI 70–75
For strong momentum stocks, I prefer leaving RSI control flexible because strong names can remain elevated before breaking out.
Require Price Above 200 SMA
When enabled, the script only accepts ranges where price is above the 200 SMA.
This is useful for trend-following and continuation strategies.
Turn this off if you want to scan:
bottoming structures
early reversals
200 SMA reclaim attempts
accumulation ranges below the 200 SMA
Require Prior Advance
When enabled, the script requires price to have moved up before forming the range.
This is best for continuation traders.
Turn this off if you want to study:
accumulation bases
bottoming ranges
reversal setups
sideways structures before a first move
Require Volume Control
When enabled, the range must have controlled volume relative to average volume.
This helps filter out chaotic ranges.
However, for volatile small caps or active momentum names, I often leave this off because strong stocks can consolidate with active volume.
Require RSI Control
When enabled, RSI must remain within the selected range.
This can help avoid weak or overextended setups.
However, momentum leaders can remain strong for longer than expected, so this setting is optional depending on the strategy.
Setup Score
The label displays an Auto Range Score out of 10.
The score considers:
prior move
price above 200 SMA
containment inside the range
range width versus ADR

The score is not a buy signal. It is a structure-quality score.
General interpretation:

Trading Notes
A detected box is only a location tool.
It does not replace:
market regime analysis
risk management
catalyst research
relative strength checks
liquidity checks
options-chain review
trade planning
The highest-quality setups usually combine:
strong prior move + clean box + range containment + volume expansion on breakout + supportive market conditions.
Risk Management
The box can help define risk.
Common invalidation methods:
stop below range low
stop below breakout candle low
stop below retest low
stop below rising 20 EMA or 50 SMA
exit if breakout fails back into range
avoid if price breaks below the box with volume
The cleanest setups are usually those where the box gives a tight, logical invalidation level.

Description & user manual
Credits
The weekly psychological level calculation in this indicator is based on open-source code originally published on PulseWire. The original script was created by plasmapug. Continued development was done by infernixx, Peshocore, and xtech5192 in collaboration with TradersReality. Significant modifications have been made to integrate this component into the Compass framework.
Why this indicator is different
Most indicators answer one question. A moving average tells you the trend direction. An oscillator tells you momentum. A session box tells you the time. A volume indicator tells you participation. Each one is useful. None of them tells you where you are.
Before placing a trade, a trader needs to answer several questions simultaneously. What session is active and what does that mean for the type of price action to expect? Where does the macro trend stand? Is volume confirming the move or contradicting it? Are there open imbalances nearby that price may return to? How much of the day's expected range has already been consumed? Where are the key structural levels — pivots, the daily open, prior week references?
Answering each of these questions separately requires stacking tool after tool until the chart becomes unreadable. Compass answers all of them at once.
It is not a signal indicator. It does not fire arrows or tell you when to buy or sell. What it does is something more fundamental: it gives you a complete read of the market environment before any decision is made. Sessions, trend, volume, imbalances, range levels, pivots, psychological references — all in one overlay, all configurable, all on one chart.
The design philosophy is orientation first. Decision second. Compass tells you where you are. What you do with that is your responsibility.

1. Overview
Compass is a comprehensive market context indicator that combines eleven independent analysis frameworks into one unified overlay. Every component is individually toggleable. Six presets are included for different trading styles, from fast scalping to full multi-component analysis.
What it includes:
- Five-EMA suite with adaptive cloud around the EMA 50
- EMA crossover system with configurable signals and candle coloring
- Stochastic RSI background alerts with four alert types and RSI divergence detection
- PVSRA volume vector candle analysis with zone tracking and configurable thresholds
- Eight global market sessions with automatic DST awareness
- Average daily, weekly, and monthly range levels with 50% midpoints
- Classic pivot points with mid-point levels
- Daily open reference line with historical opens
- Fair value gap detection with partial absorption tracking
- Weekly psychological level tracking
- Live dashboard with eighteen data points across all active components
2. EMA suite
Five exponential moving averages are plotted simultaneously: EMA 5, EMA 13, EMA 50, EMA 200, and EMA 800. Together they cover short-term momentum, medium-term trend direction, macro trend, and long-term structural bias.
The EMA 50 is wrapped in a dynamic cloud calculated from two standard deviations of price. The cloud expands during volatility and contracts during consolidation. A widening cloud indicates active price discovery. A thinning cloud indicates equilibrium or compression before a directional move.
The EMA 200 is the primary macro bias filter. Price above it defines a broadly bullish environment. Price below it defines a broadly bearish environment. This is shown in the dashboard at all times.
The EMA 800 provides long-term structural context, particularly useful on mid to higher timeframes where it marks the gravitational center of multi-month price structure.
All five EMA lengths are configurable. Each has individual color and transparency controls. An EMA label option displays the current value at the right edge of each line.
3. EMA cross system
The EMA cross tracks a configurable fast EMA crossing a configurable slow EMA and marks the crossover bar. All candles after a cross continue in the direction of that cross until the opposite cross fires.
Three display modes are available: show both the fast and slow EMA lines, show a single consolidated EMA line, or hide the EMA lines entirely while keeping the crossover signals visible.
This component is a trend state indicator, not a trade trigger. A bull cross does not mean buy. It means the short-term trend has shifted upward relative to the medium-term average.
Signals and candle coloring can be toggled independently.
4. Stochastic RSI
The stochastic RSI component runs a standard stochastic RSI calculation and generates background color alerts based on crossover conditions at configurable band levels.
Four alert types are available, each independently toggleable:
Middle band crossover — K line crosses D line near the 50 level. Indicates a possible trend shift in momentum.
Overbought/oversold crossover — K line crosses D line from overbought or oversold territory. Indicates a potential reversal from an extreme.
Entering overbought — K line crosses above the upper band. Indicates that momentum has moved into overbought territory.
Entering oversold — K line crosses below the lower band. Indicates that momentum has moved into oversold territory.
The dashboard displays the current stochastic RSI state and the RSI value. RSI appears in green when above the midline and in red when below. Regular bullish and bearish divergence is detected automatically and shown in the dashboard as a directional label. When divergence is active, a thin reference line appears on the price chart marking the divergence candles.
5. PVSRA volume vector analysis
PVSRA analysis colors candles based on volume relative to the 10-bar average and the relationship between volume and candle spread.
Four vector types:
Green vector — bullish bar where volume is at or above the green/red threshold (default 200% of the 10-bar average), or where volume multiplied by spread is the highest of the last 10 bars. Indicates strong bullish institutional participation.
Red vector — same conditions on a bearish bar. Indicates strong bearish institutional participation.
Blue vector — bullish bar where volume is at or above the blue/violet threshold (default 150% of average). Indicates elevated bullish volume below the institutional threshold.
Violet vector — same conditions on a bearish bar. Indicates elevated bearish volume.
Grey — no vector conditions met. Normal volume.
Both thresholds are configurable directly from the settings panel. Blue and violet signals are strictly exclusive from green and red — a bar cannot qualify for both simultaneously.
Vector candle zones draw boxes at each vector candle location and remain active until price moves through the zone, marking areas where elevated institutional activity was detected at the time the candle formed.
The PVSRA override input allows a different symbol to be used for the volume calculation. This is useful when the charted instrument has unreliable volume data, such as CFDs, perpetual swaps, or instruments where the primary volume is on a related market.
6. Market sessions
Eight global trading sessions are tracked simultaneously, each with automatic DST awareness. Sessions are displayed as expanding boxes with high and low lines and a real-time label showing the session open.
Sessions included:
- London: 08:00–16:30 UTC
- New York: 14:30–21:00 UTC
- Tokyo: 00:00–06:00 UTC
- Hong Kong: 01:30–08:00 UTC
- Sydney: 22:00–06:00 UTC
- EU brinks: 08:00–09:00 UTC
- US brinks: 14:00–15:00 UTC
- Frankfurt: 07:00–16:30 UTC
DST is handled automatically for London, New York, and Sydney. No manual adjustment is needed. Each session can be toggled individually, and box color, transparency, and label color are fully configurable per session.
Session context matters because market behavior differs significantly depending on which participants are active. London and New York overlap produces the highest volume and fastest price movement. Tokyo and Sydney sessions tend to consolidate. The brinks windows mark the transition periods where session highs and lows often form.
7. Range levels
Three statistical range frameworks measure the expected price range for the current period based on historical averages.
Average daily range (ADR) — the expected high and low for the current trading day. When price reaches the ADR level, the day's expected range has been consumed. Moves beyond the ADR are extension moves that occur with lower statistical probability and often mean-revert. The dashboard shows ADR % used — how much of today's expected range has already been consumed. Above 80% indicates the day is approaching its expected limit.
Average weekly range (AWR) — the same concept applied to the current week. Useful for assessing how much room the week has left to move.
Average monthly range (AMR) — the same concept applied to the current month. Provides macro context for position sizing and target expectations.
Each framework includes a 50% midpoint level marking the center of the expected range. The ADR measure from daily open option calculates the range starting from that day's open price rather than the statistical high, making the levels static for the entire day.
All three frameworks have individual lookback period inputs, color controls, line styles, and label toggles.
8. Pivot points
Classic pivot points are calculated from the prior day's high, low, and close. Levels include PP, R1/S1, R2/S2, R3/S3, and M mid-point levels between each major level.
Pivot points provide structural reference for the current session. Price above PP defines a broadly bullish day structure. R levels act as potential resistance targets. S levels act as potential support targets. M levels provide intermediate precision references between major pivots.
All levels can be toggled individually. Lines extend rightward from the prior session and can optionally extend in both directions. Each level has individual color and line style controls.
9. Daily open
A horizontal line marks the current day's opening price. This is one of the most referenced structural levels among short-term traders because it defines the starting point for the day's price discovery.
Price above the daily open reflects a bullish session bias. Price below reflects a bearish session bias. When price oscillates around the daily open without committing direction, the session is in balance — a lower probability environment for trend trades.
Historical daily opens can optionally be shown as reference for prior day context.
10. Fair value gaps
A fair value gap is a three-bar imbalance where price moved through a range without leaving two-sided trade — the low of the upper candle is above the high of the lower candle (bullish gap) or vice versa (bearish gap). These areas represent unfinished business where the market may return to achieve balance.
Gaps are filtered by a minimum width threshold expressed as a multiple of ATR. Gaps narrower than the threshold are excluded. Partial absorption is tracked — as price returns into the gap, the fill color changes to show how much of the imbalance has been recovered.
Fully mitigated gaps can be kept on the chart as historical reference or deleted automatically to maintain a clean view.
11. Psychological levels
Weekly psychological levels mark the prior week's high and low as calculated by a specific session-anchored method. These levels represent deliberate structural references where participants have previously committed size — breakouts and rejections around these levels tend to be more intentional than random price noise.
Three GMT offset options accommodate the session anchor calculation for different global market structures. Two mode options are available: crypto (weekly reset on Saturday Sydney open) and forex (weekly reset on Monday Tokyo open).

13. Dashboard reference
The dashboard provides eighteen live data points across all active components:
Session — the currently active market session.
EMA cross — current EMA cross direction: bull or bear.
EMA 200 — whether price is above or below the EMA 200.
Stoch RSI — current stochastic RSI condition.
RSI — current RSI value, colored green above midline and red below.
RSI divergence — active bullish or bearish divergence, or none.
PVSRA — current candle vector type.
ADR % used — how much of today's expected daily range has been consumed.
FVG active — count of open unmitigated fair value gaps and mitigation percentage.
Psy level — whether price is above or below the prior week's psychological level.
Timezone — active session timezone setting.
VCZ active — count of active vector candle zones above and below current price.
Pivot PP — current pivot point value.
Daily open — current daily open price and direction.
14. How to use
14.1 Initial setup
Select a preset that matches your primary trading style. Adjust the session timezone to match your location or your primary exchange. If you trade an instrument with unreliable volume data, enable the PVSRA override and set it to a correlated liquid instrument. Set the ADR lookback period to your preference — 14 days is a standard starting point. For FVGs, set the width filter to 0.5 or higher to exclude minor gaps.
14.2 Reading the dashboard
The dashboard is the fastest way to orient yourself on a new chart or a new session. Check session, EMA cross direction, EMA 200 position, stoch RSI state, and ADR consumed before anything else. Five seconds to a full picture of where the market stands.
14.3 Reading the chart
Check EMA alignment. When EMA 13, EMA 50, and EMA 200 are stacked in the same direction, the trend is more significant than a single crossover. Divergence between them reflects a transition or competing timeframe pressures.
Check ADR percentage. Below 50% means the day has statistical room to move. Above 80% means the day is near its expected limit and extension moves are less probable.
Look for open FVGs near current price. An unmitigated FVG in the direction of the prevailing trend is a precision reference area where price has historically returned.
Check the psy level. If price is approaching the prior week's high or low, be aware that participant behavior around those references tends to be deliberate.
14.4 Timeframe guide
1 minute to 3 minutes — clean scalper preset, candle coloring set to EMA cross.
5 minutes to 15 minutes — clean scalper or signal focus preset.
30 minutes to 1 hour — full context preset, use ADR and pivot points.
4 hours to daily — full context or minimal preset.
14.5 Tips
PVSRA override — use when your broker's volume data is unreliable, when you trade a CFD or derivative with synthetic volume, or when you want spot market volume for a futures chart.
Master opacity offset — adding 10 to 20 increases overall transparency and dims the chart if it feels cluttered. Subtracting 10 to 20 makes all elements more prominent. This shifts all transparency values simultaneously without changing individual settings. Only active in custom preset.
Not every component needs to be active at once. Most traders will find three to four components provide the context they need for their specific setup.

Entry Gate - ADR% / ADV / ATR MultipleThree critical pre-trade filters, always visible right on your chart.
Before entering any swing trade, three questions determine whether the setup is even worth considering: is this stock volatile enough to move my account, is it liquid enough to trade cleanly, and is it too extended to enter now? Entry Gate answers all three at a glance, in a single corner of your chart.
ADR% (Average Daily Range) measures how much a stock moves on an average day. Too low and it won't move your portfolio. Too high and daily noise will stop you out randomly.
ADV (Average Dollar Volume) measures how much money flows through the stock each day. Liquid stocks respect key levels, pull back cleanly to moving averages, and don't gap on low volume. Illiquid stocks do the opposite.
ATR Multiple measures how extended the price is above its 50-day moving average, expressed in ATR units. The further extended, the higher the probability of a pause or reversal. Based on jfsrev's published formula: % Gain from MA divided by ATR%.
ATR% rounds out the dashboard with the raw volatility number for context.
All values are color-coded against your thresholds:
🟢 Green — within your ideal range
🟠 Orange — borderline, proceed with caution
🔴 Red — outside your criteria
A yellow dot also plots above the bar when the ATR Multiple exceeds your trigger level, marking historically extended zones at a glance.
Fully customizable:
Independent thresholds for ADR%, ADV, and ATR Multiple
Warning zones for borderline values
Lookback periods for each calculation
Font size, table position, dot size and offset
Color customization for good / warning / bad / ATR / dot
All values are pulled from the daily timeframe via request.security, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're on a daily, weekly, or intraday chart.
Default thresholds are calibrated for swing traders running mid-sized accounts. Adjust to match your strategy.

Average Daily Range Percentage (ADR%) and Average Daily VolumeTwo critical pre-trade filters, always visible right on your chart.
Before entering any swing trade, you need to know two things: is this stock volatile enough to move your account, and is it liquid enough to trade cleanly? This indicator answers both questions at a glance.
**ADR% (Average Daily Range)** measures how much a stock moves on an average day. Too low and it won't move your portfolio. Too high and the daily noise will stop you out randomly. The color tells you where you stand instantly.
**ADV (Average Dollar Volume)** measures how much money flows through the stock each day. Liquid stocks respect key levels, pull back cleanly to moving averages, and don't gap randomly on low volume. Illiquid stocks do the opposite.
Both values are color-coded against your thresholds:
🟢 Green — within your ideal range
🟠 Orange — borderline, proceed with caution
🔴 Red — outside your criteria, skip it

Average Daily Range by BlemAverage Daily Range (ADR) Indicator
Displays the Average Daily Range of any instrument directly on your chart as a clean, screen-anchored overlay — accurate on any timeframe from 1-minute to weekly.
What it shows:
1. Average Daily Range — the N-day average of daily high-low ranges (default 14 days)
2. ADR Remaining — how much of today's average range is still uncovered, useful for setting intraday targets (optional, can be toggled off)
How it works:
ADR is calculated using actual daily candle data regardless of the timeframe you are viewing, so the value is always consistent and accurate.
Fully customizable:
• ADR lookback period
• Screen position (9 combinations — top/middle/bottom × left/center/right)
• Background color, text color, text size
• ADR Remaining color thresholds (green when range remains, red when nearly exhausted)
• Toggle ADR Remaining on/off
How to use:
Traders use ADR to understand how much movement to expect in a session. When ADR Remaining is high, there is still room for the move to continue. When it approaches zero, the daily range is nearly complete and momentum may fade.
ADR is a statistical generalization based on past price behavior.
On any given day, price may fall short of the average, or exceed it significantly. It should never be treated as a guaranteed target or a hard boundary.
Use it as a general reference for expected daily movement, not as a precise prediction. Indicator

#heistrader Indicator
Indicator
Average Volatility ZonesDisplays the average volatility range directly on the chart as horizontal levels projected from the current period's open.
The indicator calculates the average candle size (High-Low or True Range) over a configurable period and timeframe (default: Daily, 20 bars), then draws upper and lower lines at that distance from the current timeframe open — showing how far price typically moves within one period.
Key features:
- Multi-timeframe support — measure volatility from any timeframe (M15 to Monthly)
- Scalable levels — optional 2x, 3x, and custom multiplier levels for extended volatility zones
- Zone mode — converts lines into shaded bands based on a percentage of the average volatility
- Automatic pip detection for forex pairs (supports 5-digit and 3-digit brokers)
- Each level is labeled with its timeframe, period, and value in pips
- Fully customizable colors, line styles, label positioning, and zone transparency
Useful for gauging intraday range potential, setting realistic targets, identifying overextended moves, and filtering entries near volatility extremes. Indicator

ADR**Overview**
This indicator displays the **Average Daily Range (ADR)** and **ADR Percentage** in a customizable table on your chart.
While the standard ATR (Average True Range) is a popular metric for volatility, it accounts for price gaps (e.g., overnight moves). **ADR**, on the other hand, strictly measures the average distance between the **High** and **Low** of price bars, completely ignoring gaps.
**Why use ADR instead of ATR?**
* **Day Trading:** For intraday traders (Forex, Crypto, Futures), ADR is often preferred because it calculates the "tradable" range of the day. It answers the question: *"On average, how much does this asset move from High to Low?"*
* **Target Setting:** ADR is excellent for projecting daily highs and lows. If price has already moved 100% of its ADR, the statistical probability of further extension decreases.
* **Pure Volatility:** It filters out the noise of overnight gaps to show pure intraday volatility.
**Calculation Logic**
* **ADR:** Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the `High - Low` range over the specified length.
* Formula: `SMA(High - Low, Length)`
* **ADR%:** Shows the ADR relative to the current price.
* Formula: `(ADR / Current Close) * 100`
**Features**
* **Clean Dashboard:** A minimalist table displays the ADR value and the ADR %.
* **Customizable:** You can change the calculation length (default is 14) and move the table to any corner of the chart (Top/Bottom, Left/Right) to fit your workspace.
**Settings**
* **ADR Length:** The lookback period for the average (Default: 14).
* **Display Position:** Choose where the table appears on your screen. Indicator
