# ICT CBDR - Central Bank Dealers Range

This indicator identifies and displays the Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR), a concept from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. The CBDR represents the consolidation period between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM New York time, during which major financial institutions establish their positions.

## Features

- **Customizable Time Range:** Default setting is the standard 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM NY time, but can be adjusted to any session
- **Timezone Selection:** Choose your preferred timezone while maintaining accurate CBDR tracking
- **Visual Range Box:** Clearly displays the high and low range established during the selected session
- **Equator (EQ) Line:** Shows the 50% mid-point of the range for potential support/resistance
- **Projection Lines:** Automatically projects extensions of the range for potential targets
- **Adjustable Multiplier:** Option for 0.5× or 1× range projections
- **Range Type Selection:** Use price wicks or bodies to establish the range

## How to Use This Indicator

The CBDR forms a consolidation zone that often precedes significant price movements. After this range is established, markets tend to move away from this area with directional bias. Trading strategies commonly involve:

1. **Breakout Trading:** Enter when price breaks above/below the CBDR
2. **Range Trading:** Fade moves from the edges of the range back to the EQ line
3. **EQ Line Support/Resistance:** Use the mid-range as a pivot point
4. **Extension Targets:** Utilize the projection lines as potential take-profit levels

## Settings

- **Show CBDR:** Toggle the visibility of the range box
- **Range Type:** Select whether to use candle wicks or bodies for range calculation
- **Timezone:** Choose your preferred timezone (default is America/New York)
- **Session Time:** Adjust the session time in 24-hour format (default is 1400-2000)
- **EQ Line:** Toggle and customize the equator line
- **Projections:** Toggle and adjust the number and appearance of projection lines
- **Use 0.5 Deviation:** When enabled, uses half-sized projections
- **Hide Above __ Minutes:** Controls on which timeframes the indicator is displayed

## Notes

- The traditional CBDR is specifically the 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM NY time range
- This indicator is most effective on lower timeframes (1-15 minute charts)
- Remember to combine this tool with proper risk management and additional confirmation
- Works best on forex and highly liquid markets
