Alans Date Range CalculatorOverview
Setting a date range for backtesting enables you to evaluate your trading strategy under various market conditions. Traders can test a strategy’s performance during specific periods, such as economic downturns, bull markets, or periods of high volatility. This helps assess the trading strategy’s robustness and adaptability across different scenarios.
Specifying years of data instead of just inputting specific start and end dates offers several advantages:
1. **Consistency**: Using a fixed number of years ensures that the testing period is consistent across different strategies or iterations. This makes it easier to compare performance metrics and draw meaningful conclusions.
2. **Flexibility**: Specifying years allows for automatic adjustment of the start date based on the current date or selected end date. This is particularly useful when new data becomes available or when testing on different assets with varying historical data lengths.
3. **Efficiency**: It simplifies updating and retesting strategies. Instead of recalculating specific start dates each time, traders can quickly adjust the number of years to process, making it easier to test strategies over different timeframes.
4. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Broader timeframes defined by years help you evaluate how your strategy performs over multiple market cycles, providing insights into long-term viability and potential weaknesses.
Defining a date range by specifying years allows for more thorough and systematic backtesting, helping traders develop more reliable and effective trading systems.
Alan's Date Range Calculator: A TradingView Pine Script Indicator
Purpose
This Pine Script indicator calculates and displays a date range for backtesting trading strategies. It allows users to specify the number of years to analyze and an end date, then calculates the corresponding start date. Most importantly, users can copy the inputs and function into their own strategies to quickly add a time span feature for backtesting.
Key Features
User-defined input for the number of years to analyze
Customizable end date with a calendar input
Automatic calculation of the start date
Visual display of both start and end dates on the chart
How It Works
User Inputs
Years of Data to Process: An integer input allowing users to specify the number of years for analysis (default: 20, range: 1-100)
End Date: A calendar input for selecting the end date of the analysis period (default: December 31, 2024)
Date Calculation
The script uses a custom function calcStartDate() to determine the start date. It subtracts the specified number of years from the end date's year and sets the start date to January 1st of that year.
Visual Output
The indicator displays two labels on the chart:
Start Date Label: Shows the calculated start date
End Date Label: Displays the user-specified end date
Both labels are positioned horizontally at the bottom of the chart, with the end date label to the right of the start date label.
Applications
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to:
Define specific date ranges for backtesting strategies

About Gauss Indicator
Time series forecasting is quite a scientific task, for which specific econometrical models and methods have been developed.
Who is Gauss and Why his Curve is So Important
Johann Gauss was one of the best mathematicians of all times and he gave us a very specific curve (Gaussian Curve) to explain specifics of random variable behavior (so called Normal Distribution)
Gaussian curve has quite interesting property usually called “3 Sigmas Rule”: in a normal distribution: 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.
But Does It Work in the Financial Markets?
Normal Distribution is extremely typical for price behavior in financial markets: FOREX, stock Market, Commodities, Cryptocurrency market.
How can we forecast future prices based on “3 Sigmas Rule”?
If we know past prices (we actually know), we can calculate Mean and Standard Deviation.
After that following “3 Sigmas Rules” we can calculate the fluctuations range for the present day with a known probability (!).
• If we add 1 sigma to mean we can get the price value that wouldn’t be exceeded with a probability of 68%.
• If we add 2 sigmas to mean we can get the price value that wouldn’t be exceeded with a probability of 95%.
• If we add 3 sigmas to mean we can get the price value that wouldn’t be exceeded with a probability of 99%.
How Can I Get This Information?
Gauss indicator is a practical implementation of “3 sigmas rule” in trading.
Gauss allows to predict the ranges of price fluctuations for the selected time frames (week, day, hour, etc) with certain probabilities: 68%, 95% and 99%.
Gauss can be used to generate Trading signals, Stop-loss parameters, Take-profit parameters, Synthetic Levels (both Support and Resistance).
Actually, ALL information you need to trade.
Structure of the Gauss Indicator
1. Three blue lines – synthetic support lines. They describe 3 different buy zones with certain probabilities of success:
- First blue line (Buy zone #1) - the price today will not fall below this mark with a probability of 68%;
- Second blue line (Buy zone #2) - the price today will not fall below this mark with a probability of 95%;
- Third blue line (Buy zone #3) - the price today will not fall below this mark with a probability of 99%.
2. Three red lines – synthetic resistance lines. They describe 3 different sell zones with certain probabilities of success:
- First red line (Sell zone #1) - the price today will not rise above this mark with a probability of 68%;
- Second red line (Sell zone #2) - the price today will not rise above this mark with a probability of 95%;
- Third red line (Sell zone #3) - the price today will not rise above this mark with a probability of 99%.
3. Green line – shows current price. When it gets close to the red/blue line sell/buy signals are generated.
Trading rules
General rules are as follows: buy at the blue lines, sell at the red lines.
Take-profits for sells are set at the nearest blue line, for buys – at the nearest red line. Stop-losses for sells are set above the last red line, for buys – below the last blue line.
Time Range### Indicator Name: **Time Range**
#### Description:
The **Time Range** indicator allows users to highlight specific time ranges on a chart for each day of the week. It uses customizable time inputs for every day (Monday to Sunday), allowing the user to define trading sessions or any time-based range. These sessions are visualized by shading the background of the chart within the defined periods.
#### Key Features:
- **Custom Sessions**: For each day of the week (Monday to Sunday), the user can define a unique time session by specifying the start time using the input fields.
- **Day-wise Session Activation**: The user can toggle the activation of sessions for each day by using checkboxes. If the session for a particular day is disabled, no background shading will appear for that day.
- **Background Highlighting**: When a session is active, the background of the chart during the specified session period will be shaded in gray with a 70% transparency. This helps the user visually identify active time ranges across multiple days.
#### Use Cases:
- **Highlighting Trading Sessions**: Traders can use this indicator to easily visualize specific market sessions such as the New York or London trading sessions.
- **Visualizing Custom Time Blocks**: Can be used to highlight any custom time blocks that are important for the trader, such as key trading hours, news release periods, or other time-based strategies.
#### Customizable Parameters:
- **Day Toggles**: Checkboxes to activate or deactivate sessions for each day of the week.
- **Time Range Inputs**: Time range inputs allow the user to set start times for each session, which are applied based on the user's selection for the day.
This indicator helps streamline chart analysis by giving clear visual markers for time-based events or trading windows.
ATR Gerchik LightAverage True Range ( ATR ) is a technical analysis indicator that measures volatility in the market. ATR is a moving average of the true range over a period of time.
ATR calculation procedure:
1. Determine the true maximum - this is the highest of the current maximum and yesterday's closing price of the day.
2. Determine the true minimum - this is the smallest of the current minimum and yesterday's closing price.
3. Determine the true range - this is the distance between the true maximum and minimum.
4. We exclude extremely large candles (> x2 ATR) and extremely small ones (< 0.5 ATR) from the obtained true ranges.
5. We calculate the average for the selected period based on the remaining range.
6. We calculate the percentage of the current True Range relative to the average ATR value for the previous period.
Description:
If you analyze it yourself, you will see that 75-80% of the time, the instrument moves only 1 ATR per day. You must understand that if an instrument has, for example, moved 80% of its daily range, it is not advisable to purchase it. This is comparable to a car's fuel tank: if the tank is almost empty, the car won't go far. Most indicators that calculate ATR include anomalous candles, which give unreliable results and lead to incorrect decisions. Because of this, many traders prefer to calculate ATR on their own.
However, the Gerchik ATR indicator accounts for anomalous candles and filters out extremely large candles (> 2x ATR) and extremely small ones (< 0.5x ATR). Additionally, this indicator immediately shows the consumed “fuel” of the instrument as a percentage, so you don't have to calculate the distance traveled yourself. This allows you to make quick, informed decisions. If we see that the tank is almost empty, it is logical not to get into that car today. When building any strategy, you must rely on the average movement.
Key Features:
Anomalous Candle Filtering: Excludes extremely large and small candles to provide more reliable ATR values.
Consumed Fuel Indicator: Shows the percentage of the ATR consumed, helping traders quickly assess the remaining potential movement.
Daily Timeframe Focus: Designed specifically for use on daily charts for accurate long-term analysis.
Practical Applications:
Entry and Exit Points: Use the ATR to determine optimal entry and exit points by assessing market volatility and potential price movement.
Stop-Loss Placement: Calculate stop-loss levels based on ATR to ensure they are placed at appropriate distances, accounting for current market volatility.
Trend Confirmation: Use the percentage of ATR consumed to confirm the strength of a trend and decide whether to enter or exit trades.
Examples of Use:
Trend Following: During strong trends, ATR helps identify periods of increased volatility, signaling potential breakouts or reversals.
Range Trading: In ranging markets, ATR can highlight periods of low volatility, indicating consolidation and potential breakout zones.
Note: The indicator is displayed and works only on the daily timeframe!
The indicator was created according to the instructions, description of the functionality, and strategy of Mr. Gerchik. Thank you so much, Chief!

Average True Range ( ATR , средний истинный диапазон) – это индикатор технического анализа, который измеряет волатильность на рынке. ATR представляет собой скользящее среднее истинного диапазона за определенный период времени.
Порядок расчета ATR:
1. Определяем истинный максимум – это наивысшее из текущего максимума и вчерашней цены закрытия дня.
2. Определяем истинный минимум – это наименьшее из текущего минимума и вчерашней цены закрытия.
3. Определяем истинный диапазон – это расстояние между истинным максимумом и минимумом.
4. Исключаем из полученных истинных диапазонов экстремально большие свечи (> x2 ATR) и экстремально маленькие (< 0.5 ATR).
5. Рассчитываем среднее за выбранный период исходя из оставшегося диапазона.
6 . Рассчитываем процент текущего истинного диапазона (True Range) относительно среднего значения ATR за предыдущий период.
Описание:
Если вы сами проанализируете, то увидите, что 75-80% времени инструмент ходит только 1 ATR. И вы должны понимать, что если инструмент внутри дня прошел, к примеру, 80% своего движения, то этот инструмент больше нельзя покупать. Это можно сравнить с баком машины: если бак почти пустой, машина далеко не уедет. Большинство индикаторов, которые рассчитывают ATR, производят расчет с паранормальными свечами. Это дает недостоверный результат и приводит к неверным решениям. Многие трейдеры из-за этого не используют готовые индикаторы и предпочитают считать ATR самостоятельно. Но индикатор ATR Gerchik учитывает паранормальные свечи и фильтрует экстремально большие свечи (> x2 ATR) и экстремально маленькие (< 0.5 ATR). Также этот индикатор сразу показывает израсходованный "бензин" инструмента в процентах. И вам не надо самостоятельно высчитывать пройденный путь. Вы можете быстро принимать правильные решения. Если мы видим, что бак почти пустой, логично не садиться в эту машину сегодня. Когда вы строите какую-то стратегию, вы должны обязательно полагаться на среднестатистическое движение.
Существует много стратегий, завязанных на ATR, которые учитывают волатильность инструмента, запас хода, точки разворота, места выставления стоп-лоссов (SL) и тейк-профитов (TP) и другие факторы. Я не буду останавливаться на них, так как каждый может найти описание этих стратегий и использовать их на свой выбор.
Индикатор отображается и работает только на дневном таймфрейме!
Индикатор создан по наставлениям, описанию функционала и стратегии господина Герчика. Огромное спасибо, Шеф!
itradesize /\ IPDA Look Back - for any timeframeThe script automatically calculates the 20-40-60 look-back periods and their premium and discount ranges.
The base concept is from ICT’s IPDA which should be applied to the daily timeframe but now you can use that same concept on the lower timeframes .
The higher the timeframes you use the more reliable it will be ( when we are talking about lower timeframes than Daily ).
- With the use of the indicator you can apply it on any timeframe with ease.
- You can customize the coloring of premium & discount, frame lines, and even the look of it.
- Hide or show the EQ levels
Below the IPDA texts the indicator shows the actual percentage of the selected range based on the current price fluctuations.
The script handles the 20-40-60 days look-back as fractals so it can be applied on lower timeframes.
The basics:
- The Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA): The algorithm creates a shift on the daily chart every 20, 40, and 60 trading days.
- These are the IPDA look-back periods. Every 20 trading days or so there is a new liquidity pool forming on both sides of the market based on ICT concepts.
- Determine the IPDA Data Range of the land 20 trading days.
- Note the highest high & lowest low in the past 20 trading days. Identify the institutional order flow and mark the relevant PD arrays in the selected IPDA look-back period we deemed useful for our trading style.
- This is your current dealing range.
- If the price consolidates for 20 days, consider switching to a 40-day look back.
Inside this dealing range, we look for the next draw on liquidity. Is it reaching for a liquidity pool or is it looking to rebalance at a particular PD Array. This is going to the Bias.
Which IPDA data range should you use?
IPDA20 can be our Short Term range - fit for intraday traders at most
IPDA40 can be our Swing Trade range - have a clear indication of the market profile
IPDA60 can be our range for position trading - have a clear indication of the market profile
Balance of Force (BOF)The script "Balance of Force" is an indicator that aims to provide insight into the bullish and bearish forces present in the market by analyzing the relationship between bullish and bearish true ranges. The indicator first calculates the bearish and bullish true ranges by taking the absolute difference between the open and close prices for each period and summing these values over a user-specified length. It then calculates the ratio of the bullish true range to the bearish true range and takes the natural logarithm of this value, resulting in the "bullish-bearish ratio".
The script then calculates the standard deviation of this ratio over a user-specified length to create a measure of volatility. Using this deviation and the dominant cycle, it then applies an exponential moving average to smooth the ratio. The indicator plots the smoothed ratio, the raw ratio, and the deviation of the ratio multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 in addition to filling the area between the deviation multiplied by 3 and the log(1) with red and green. The user can use the indicator to identify potential bullish or bearish market conditions by analyzing the relationship between the smoothed ratio and the log(1) and the deviation of the ratio.
Ultimate Grid Tool + Alerts (DCA & Limit Orders) [enzedengineer]Overview
The "Ultimate Grid Tool + Alerts" script works much like a grid bot from automated trading services such as 3Commas making it a good free alternative with some extra utility.
How it works
The user is prompted to set up a grid by manually defining a lower and upper range and then by selecting how many grid segments they want (max 20). The script will automatically create equally spaced grids within this defined range. The script has built in alerts which are intended to be used in conjunction with a third-party application to execute buy and sell orders on an exchange.
The script has two alert functionalities to choose between:
Limit orders (like traditional grid bots) or;
DCA zones (time-based)
DCA zones:
This is the default selection. Each zone has its own alert condition which is triggered if the price closes within that zone. The frequency of the alert is determined by the user's chart resolution, therefore you can have the alert trigger every day, or 4 hours, or 30 minutes and so on. This allows for flexibility, for example, you could go from DCA'ing at $20 per day at higher prices to $100 per day as the price drops into the lower end of your grid range.
Limit orders:
This mode is selected by checking the "Limit Order" box. As mentioned earlier, this mode works like traditional grid bots with each grid line representing a limit order. The alert condition is met when ta.cross(close, gridline) = true.
Buy and Sell:
This mode is selected by checking the "Buy and Sell" box. This is a visual modification only which changes the colour of the grids to help plan the user's trading. Please note, there is no buying or selling logic within the script itself - this should be built into the alert message to be used with a third-party application for exchange order execution.
Use case: The author of this script has been using it with the default settings to DCA into Bitcoin in the current bear market. Using a chart resolution of 15 minutes the script purchases x-amount of Bitcoin every 15 minutes (Alertatron executes the exchange orders). This method provides a well blended average price and takes away the internal conundrum of "should I buy some today". No matter what, the bot will make a purchase within at least 15 minutes of the ultimate Bitcoin bottom and arguably this gives a psychological edge and reduces FOMO (fear of missing out).
Daily/Weekly ExtremesBACKGROUND
This indicator calculates the daily and weekly +-1 standard deviation of the S&P 500 based on 2 methodologies:
1. VIX - Using the market's expectation of forward volatility, one can calculate the daily expectation by dividing the VIX by the square root of 252 (the number of trading days in a year) - also know as the "rule of 16." Similarly, dividing by the square root of 50 will give you the weekly expected range based on the VIX.
2. ATR - We also provide expected weekly and daily ranges based on 5 day/week ATR.
HOW TO USE
- This indicator only has 1 option in the settings: choosing the ATR (default) or the VIX to plot the +-1 standard deviation range.
- This indicator WILL ONLY display these ranges if you are looking at the SPX or ES futures. The ranges will not be displayed if you are looking at any other symbols
- The boundaries displayed on the chart should not be used on their own as bounce/reject levels. They are simply to provide a frame of reference as to where price is trading with respect to the market's implied expectations. It can be used as an indicator to look for signs of reversals on the tape.
- Daily and Weekly extremes are plotted on all time frames (even on lower time frames).
VWAP Band TrendThis indicator combines two features: VWAP bands for range trading and trends for trend-following.
The white bands offer support/resistance levels ideal for range trading: short when rejecting off the upper band, long when rejecting off the lower. Take profit either when hitting the (faint gray) midline and/or when hitting the band on the far side.
The trend analysis shows green or red ranges above or below the bands to indicate trend strength - larger swaths of green or red indicates strong trend while shorter swathes indicate weak. If the upper trend color doesn't match the lower trend color, the trend is undecided or transitioning.
Optionally, trend initiation indicators can be turned on to show above/below candles where a trend switch is taking place.
Consolidation Zone Hunter NPR BasedThis script will search for zones where the range between the high and low is lower than avg % nearest rank of last X bars.
After X(=30) bars of consolidating range it will signal that the market is in a range and draw the top, bottom and middle of that range.
When price breaks the consolidating range the range is cleared, this is where you long/short the breakout. After this it will look for the next range and do the same.
Visual Explanation
Box Range AlertSimple Script for getting alerts on the crossing of Upper & Lower levels either way.
Good for Free users as they can only use 1 alert at a time. So this indicator will be useful to get alerts on both Breakout Or Breakdowns.
Just add input Price manually and set alerts.

ACR(Average Candle Range) With TargetsWhat is ACR?
The Average Candle Range (ACR) is a custom volatility metric that calculates the mean distance between the high and low of a set number of past candles. ACR focuses only on the actual candle range (high - low) of specific past candles on a chosen timeframe.
This script calculates and visualizes the Average Candle Range (ACR) over a user-defined number of candles on a custom timeframe. It displays a table of recent range values, plots dynamic bullish and bearish target levels, and marks the start of each new candle with a vertical line. All calculations update in real time as price action develops. This script was inspired by the “ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter°” by toodegrees.
Key Features
Custom Timeframe Selection: Choose any timeframe (e.g., 1D, 4H, 15m) for analysis.
User-Defined Lookback: Calculate the average range across 1 to 10 previous candles.
Dynamic Targets:
Bullish Target: Current candle low + ACR.
Bearish Target: Current candle high – ACR.
Live Updates: Targets adjust intrabar as highs or lows change during the current candle.
Candle Start Markers: Vertical lines denote the open of each new candle on the selected timeframe.
Floating Range Table:
Displays the current ACR value.
Lists individual ranges for the previous five candles.
Extend Target Lines: Choose to extend bullish and bearish target levels fully across the screen.
Global Visibility Controls: Toggle on/off all visual elements (targets, vertical lines, and table) for a cleaner view.
How It Works
At each new candle on the user-selected timeframe, the script:
Draws a vertical line at the candle’s open.
Recalculates the ACR based on the inputted previous number of candles.
Plots target levels using the current candle's developing high and low values.
Limitation
Once the price has already moved a full ACR in the opposite direction from your intended trade, the associated target loses its practical value. For example, if you intended to trade long but the bearish ACR target is hit first, the bullish target is no longer a reliable reference for that session.
Use Case
This tool is designed for traders who:
Want to visualize the average movement range of candles over time.
Use higher or lower timeframe candles as structural anchors.
Require real-time range-based price levels for intraday or swing decision-making.
This script does not generate entry or exit signals. Instead, it supports range awareness and target projection based on historical candle behavior.
Key Difference from Similar Tools
While this script was inspired by “ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter°” by toodegrees, it introduces a major enhancement: the ability to customize the timeframe used for calculating the range. Most ADR or candle-range tools are locked to a single timeframe (e.g., daily), but this version gives traders full control over the analysis window. This makes it adaptable to a wide range of strategies, including intraday and swing trading, across any market or asset.

Anchored Bollinger Band Range [SS]This is the anchored Bollinger band indicator.
What it does?
The anchored BB indicator:
Takes a user defined range and calculates the Standard Deviation of the entire selected range for the high and low values.
Computes a moving average of the high and low during the selected period (which later becomes the breakout range average)
Anchors to the last high and last low of the period range to add up to 4 standard deviations to the upside and downside, giving you 4 high and low targets.
How can you use it?
The anchored BB indicator has many applicable uses, including
Identifying daily ranges based on premarket trading activity ( see below ):
Finding breakout ranges for intraday pattern setups ( see below ):
Identified pattern of interest:
Applying Anchored BB:
Identifying daily or pattern biases based on the position to the opening breakout range average (blue line). See the examples with explanations:
ex#1:
ex#2:
The Opening Breakout Average
As you saw in the examples above, the blue line represents the opening breakout range average.
This is the average high of the period of interest and the average low of the period of interest.
Price action above this line would be considered Bullish, and Bearish if below.
This also acts as a retracement zone in non-trending markets. For example:
Best Use Cases
Identify breakout ranges for patterns on larger timeframes. For example
This pattern on SPY, if we overlay the Anchored BB:
You want to see it actually breakout from this range and hold to confirm a breakout. Failure to exceed the BB range, means that it is just ranging with no real breakout momentum.
Identify conservative ranges for a specific period in time, for example QQQ:
Worst Use Cases
Using it as a hard and fast support and resistance indicator. This is not what it is for and ranges can be exceeded with momentum. The key is looking for whether ranges are exceeded (i.e. high momentum, thus breakout play) or they are not (thus low volume, rangy).
Using it for longer term outlooks. This is not ideal for long term ranges, as with any Bollinger/standard deviation based approach, it is only responsive to CURRENT PA and cannot forecast FUTURE PA.
User Inputs
The indicator is really straight forward. There are 2 optional inputs and 1 required input.
Period Selection: Required. Selects the period for the indicator to perform the analysis on. You just select it with your mouse on the chart.
Visible MA: Optional. You can choose to have the breakout range moving average visible or not.
Fills: Optional. You can choose to have the fills plotted or not.
And that is the indicator! Very easy to use and hope you enjoy and find it helpful!
As always, safe trades everyone! 🚀

Mxwll Liquidation Ranges - Mxwll CapitalIntroducing: Mxwll Liquidation Ranges
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges gathers data outside of TradingView to provide the highest quality, highest accuracy liquidation levels and ranges for popular crypto currencies.
Features
Real liquidation ranges and levels calculated outside of TradingView.
Real net position delta
Average leverage for long positions
Average leverage for short positions
Real number of bids for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real number of asks for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real Bid/Ask Ratio
Real Bid/Ask Delta
Real number of long market orders
Real number of short market orders
Real number of long limit orders
Real number of short limit orders
How do we obtain this data?
Using a now deprecated feature called "TradingView Pine Seeds", we are able to calculate the metrics listed above outside of TradingView and, consequently, import the data to TradingView for public use.
This means no indicators on TradingView that attempt to show liquidation levels, limit orders, net position delta, etc. can be as accurate as ours.
Why aren't other liquidation ranges indicators on TradingView as accurate as ours?
Simple: the data required to calculate liquidation levels and ranges isn't available on TradingView. No level 2 data, bids, asks, leverage information, pending limit orders, etc. This means any custom-coded indicator on TradingView attempting to use or show this information is just a guess, and is naturally inaccurate.
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges has access to all of the required data outside of TradingView, to which liquidation levels/ranges and other pertinent metrics are calculated and uploaded directly to TradingView using the Pine Seeds feature. This means that all information displayed by our indicator uses legitimate level 2 data outside of TradingView. Which means no "estimates" are required to produce this information. Consequently, unless a custom-coded indicator has access to the Pine Seeds feature and calculates liquidation levels and other level 2 data metrics outside of TradingView, then that indicator is inaccurate.
Liquidation Heatmap
The above image shows our liquidation heatmaps, which are calculated using level 2 data, in action.
Liquidation ranges are color coded. Purple/blue colored ranges indicate a lower number of net liquidations should the range be violated.
Green/yellow ranges indicate a liquidation range where the net number of liquidated positions, should the price range be violated, is substantial. Expect volatile price action around these areas and plan accordingly.
Yellow labels indicate the four highest liquidation ranges for the asset over the period.
Liquidation Levels
In addition to calculating a liquidation heatmap, Mxwll Liquidation Ranges also calculates liquidation levels by leverage. Level 2 data outside of TradingView is used.
Levels are colored coded by leverage used.
Green levels are 25x leverage liquidation areas.
Purple levels are 50x leverage liquidation areas.
Orange levels are 100x leverage liquidation areas.
Use this information to improve your trading plan and better pinpoint entries, exits, and key levels of expected volatility.
Other Metrics
Mxwll Liquidation Ranges uses level 2 data and the orderbook to calculate various metrics.
Average leverage for long positions
Average leverage for short positions
Real number of bids for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real number of asks for the cryptocurrency by the day
Real Bid/Ask Ratio
Real Bid/Ask Delta
Real number of long market orders
Real number of short market orders
Real number of long limit orders
Real number of short limit orders
How To Use
Understanding and interpreting heatmaps for predicting liquidation levels in trading can provide a significant edge. Here’s a basic guide on how to interpret these charts:
Understanding Liquidation Levels: Liquidation levels indicate where traders who are using leverage might be forced to exit their positions due to insufficient margin to cover their trades. These levels are crucial because they can trigger sudden price movements if many positions are liquidated at once.
Clusters on the Heatmap: On the heatmap, clusters of liquidation levels are represented by color-coded areas. These clusters show where significant numbers of leveraged positions are concentrated. The color intensity often indicates the density of liquidation points – darker or brighter colors suggest higher concentrations of liquidation risks.
Price Movements: By knowing where these clusters are, traders can anticipate potential price movements. For example, if a significant price drop moves the market closer to a cluster of liquidation levels, there’s an increased risk of those levels being triggered, potentially causing a sharp further drop due to cascading liquidations.
Strategic Trading: With this information, traders can strategically place their own stop losses or prepare to enter trades. Knowing where others might be forced to close their positions can help in predicting bullish or bearish movements.
Risk Management: Understanding liquidation levels helps in managing your own risk. Setting stop losses away from common liquidation points can avoid being caught in volatile price swings caused by mass liquidations.

blackOrb PriceblackOrb's Aspiration: Enhancing the Functionality of Area Charts
At its core, an area chart analysis serves as the foundational structure for blackOrb Price. Area charts can be seen as an addition to conventional price charts. Unlike price line charts, which connect closing prices with lines, an area chart fills the space between high and low prices, creating a visual representation of price ranges. This approach can offer several advantages, particularly in assessing price volatility and price dynamics.
A wider area between high and low suggests high volatility, while a narrower area indicates lower volatility. The orientation of the closing price concerning the high-low range provides insights into whether buyers or sellers are exerting influence on the market.
Combined with the following elements, this chart tool can support comprehensive data-driven trading analysis:
- Integrated moving averages for price dynamic insights
- Zigzag pivot identification for price level insights
- Stochastic lookback analysis for turning point insights
- Ghost mode for comparative insights
Technical Methodology
I. Integrated Moving Averages for Price Dynamic Insights
Incorporating various MA alternatives allows traders to gain insights into not only price dynamics but also their underlying strength, which is reflected in trading activity. This strength is visually depicted by the derived price line within blackOrb's Price Area Chart.
Among the array of MA alternatives, VWMA stands out as a suitable implementation choice for integrating volume data. It goes beyond the scope of a simple moving average, considering both price and volume in its calculation, as shown in the following formula:
(C1 x V1 + C2 x V2 + ... + CN x Vn) / (V1 + V2 + ... + Vn)
II. Zigzag Pivot Identification for Price Level Insights
Zigzag Pivot Identification can be a valuable tool for recognizing possible price movements and potential turning points. It operates by pinpointing pivotal moments where prices alter their course. Essential components of this method involve comparing time units both to the left and right within a designated price dynamic phase, effectively defining the search range for pivotal points.
For instance, in the analysis below, the search is for the highest price point that hasn't been surpassed in the last 10 time units to the left and 10 time units to the right:
ta.pivothigh(10, 10)
The lookback variables analyze price points by simultaneously examining a specified number of time units before and after a potential pivot point as the central reference. A pivot is identified when a price point remains unbreached throughout this period.
Note: This method retroactively validates structures, implying that this tool may redraw or adjust its values as price data evolves. This leads to inconsistency and a lack of predictability.
III. Stochastic Lookback Analysis for Turning Point Insights
The stochastic calculation methodology of this feature centers around the following formula:
100 * (close - lowest(low, length)) / (highest(high, length) - lowest(low, length))
This key formula employs a stochastic calculation methodology that assesses the percentage deviation of the closing price from the lowest low over a specified timeframe (length), relative to the span between the highest high and the lowest low. The outcome is normalized within a range of 0 to 100, providing insights into the relative position of the closing price within the high-low range. Traders can define the specific periods over which the stochastic calculation is performed.
Based on this stochastic analysis, the indicator integrates area chart coloring, affording users the flexibility to adjust the sensitivity of area chart coloring according to customized stochastic look-back evaluation phases. Consequently, the coloration by length evaluation can mirror a comprehension of market dynamics.
Note: However, it's important to recognize that the efficacy of evaluation coloring might be compromised during periods of lateral price movement, characterized by less prominent market trends.
IV. Ghost Mode for Comparative Insights
Unveiling convergences and divergences, the Ghost Mode overlays two price charts, which can reveal price trajectories and reactions (e.g. Apple stock's potential response to the NASDAQ 100 Technology Sector Index).
Note: This approach may not capture nuanced correlations during intricate market scenarios.
Note on Usability
This tool is an intricately designed area chart, meticulously created to serve as a fundamental canvas for the seamless integration of other more granular trading indicators.
blackOrb Price can have synergies with blackOrb Candle as both indicators combined can give a bigger picture for supporting comprehensive and multifaceted data-driven trading analysis.
This indicator isn't intended for standalone trading application. Instead, it offers an alternative approach to traditional area charts, serving as a supplementary tool for orientation within broader trading strategies. Irrespective of market conditions, it can harmonize with a wider range of trading styles and instruments/trading pairs/indices like Stocks, Gold, EURUSDSPX500, GBPUSD, BTCUSD and Oil.
Inspiration and Publishing
Taking genesis from the inspirations amongst others provided by TradingView Pine Script Wizard Kodify, blackOrb Price is a multi-encompassing script meticulously forged from scratch. It aspires to furnish a comprehensive area chart approach, borne out of personal experiences and a strong dedication in supporting the trading community. We eagerly await valuable feedback to refine and further enhance this tool.
