Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar)
Sep 26, 2023
The Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) indicator is an innovative tool designed to assist traders in identifying trending and ranging intrabar candles. It offers insightful signals when the price surpasses the extremities of these ranging intrabar candles.
How to Trade with the Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) Indicator?
This indicator enhances trading strategies by highlighting candles based on their intrabar price trends. Candles with uptrending prices are marked in green, while those with down-trending prices appear in red. This feature empowers traders to make accurate predictions by visualizing market momentum.
The precise display of these trend highlights is influenced by the selected intrabar timeframe. Choosing a lower timeframe results in a more accurate estimation of whether a candle is trending or ranging, allowing for a nuanced analysis.
When candle intrabar prices are ranging, the indicator conceals the candle body from the chart, displaying only the upper and lower extremities, equivalent to the candle's high and low. When the price crosses one of these extremities, a signal is generated, providing timely alerts for potential price movements.
The indicator is versatile, offering two modes: "Trend Following" and "Reversal." "Trend Following" mode generates signals that align with current trends, guiding traders to ride the wave of market momentum. Conversely, the "Reversal" mode aims to identify early signals indicative of potential market reversals, offering traders the opportunity to capitalize on trend changes.
Technical Details
To distinguish between trending and ranging intrabar prices, the indicator calculates the r-squared value of the intrabar data. An r-squared value above 0.5 suggests trending intrabar prices, while a value below indicates a ranging market. This calculation is close to being "settings" free, simplifying the trading process for users. While the intrabar timeframe setting controls precision, selecting a significantly lower timeframe than the chart timeframe yields a more comprehensive dataset without necessarily altering the indicator's display.
Configuration Settings
- Intrabar Timeframe: This setting allows users to specify the timeframe for retrieving intrabar data within a chart candle. It must be lower than the chart’s primary timeframe.
- Auto: Automatically selects the intrabar timeframe, ideal for intraday trading.
- Mode: Choose between "Trend Following" or "Reversal" modes for signal generation.
- Filter Out Successive Signals: This feature helps remove consecutive signals of the same type, resulting in a more readable chart.
