Chart Box Session Indicator [The Quant Science]This indicator allows highlighting specific time sessions within a chart by creating colored boxes to represent the price range of the selected session. Is an advanced and flexible tool for chart segmenting trading sessions. Thanks to its extensive customization options and advanced visualization features, it allows traders to gain a clear representation of key market areas based on chosen time intervals.
The indicator offers two range calculation modes:
Body to Body: considers the range between the opening and closing price.
Wick to Wick: considers the range between the session's low and high.
Body To Body
Wick to Wick
Key Features
1. Session Configuration
- Users can select the time range of the session of interest.
- Option to choose the day of the week for the calculation.
- Supports UTC timezone selection to correctly align data.
2. Customizable Visualization
- Option to display session price lines.
- Ability to show a central price line.
- Extension of session lines beyond the specified duration.
3. Design Display Configuration
- Three different background configurations to suit light and dark themes.
- Two gradient modes for session coloring:
- Centered: the color is evenly distributed.
- Off-Centered: the gradient is asymmetrical.
How It Works
The indicator determines whether the current time falls within the selected session, creating a colored box that highlights the corresponding price range. Depending on user preferences, the indicator draws horizontal lines at the minimum and maximum price levels and, optionally, a central line.
During the session:
- The lowest and highest session prices are dynamically updated.
- The range is divided into 10 bands to create a gradient effect.
- A colored box is generated to visually highlight the chosen session.
If the Extend Lines option is enabled, price lines continue even after the session ends, keeping the range visible for further analysis.
This indicator is useful for traders who want to analyze price behavior in specific timeframes. It is particularly beneficial for strategies based on market sessions (e.g., London or New York open) or for identifying accumulation and distribution zones.

Price AltimeterThis indicator should help visualize the price, inspired by a Digital Altimeter in a Pilots HUD.
It's by default calibrated to Bitcoin, with the small levels showing every $100 and the larger levels setup to display on every $1000. But you can change this to whatever you want by changing the settings for: Small and Large Level Increments.
The default colors are grey, but can be changed to whatever you want, and there are two cause if you want they work as a gradient.
There are options to fade as the values go away from the current price action.
There are options for Forward and Backward Offsets, 0 is the current price and each value represents a candle on whatever time frame your currently on.
Other Options include the Fade Ratio, the Line Width and Style, which are all self explanatory.
Hope you Enjoy!
Backtest it in fast mode to see it in action a little better...
Known Issues:
For some reason it bug's out when either or are displaying more than 19 lines, unsure why so its limited to that for now.
Extra Note on what this may be useful for: I always wanted to make this, but didn't realize how to put things in front of the price action... Offset! Duh! Anyways, I thought of this one because I often it's hard on these charts to really get an idea for absolute price amounts across different time frames, this in an intuitive, at a glance way to see it because the regular price thing on the right always adds values between values when you zoom in and you can sometimes get lost figuring out the proportions of things.
Could also be useful for Scalping?
PriceCatch - Previous Hour RangeHi Tradingview community,
Recently I stumbled upon a video on Youtube where the Youtuber was talking about Intraday trading based on 1 hour price range.
Anyone requesting the code was asked to contact over email for the code. So, I thought, this is such a simple script and has no special complex coding involved and why such a show off instead of just sharing it.
So, I decided to write the code myself and it took me under 10 minutes to do it. So, here's the PriceCatch - Previous Hour Range script. It is open source, so you can check it and apply it in your trading strategy.
Remember, this is just a simple range plotter and does not give any signals.
If you want 2 hours range, then simply change 60 to 120. Simple.
So, all the best with your trades.
PriceCatch
Static price-range projection by symbolThis indicator shows you a predefined range to the right of the last candle of your chart. This range is custom and can be changed for a handful of symbols that you can choose. This scale will help you determining if the market is providing a reasonable range before you enter a trade or if the market isn't actually moving as much as you might think. This is particularly useful if you are into scalping and have to consider commission or spread in your trades.
Since all symbols have different price ranges in which they move this indicator doesn't make sense to just have "a one size fits all" approach. That's why you can choose up to 6 symbols and set the range that you want to have shown for each when you pull it up on the chart. Using my default values that means for when the NQ (Nasdaq future) is on the chart you will see a range of 20 handles projected. When you change the the ES (S&P500 future) you will instead see 5 handles. While the number is different that is somewhat of an equal move in both symbols.
There also is an option to set a default price range for all other symbols that are not selected if it is needed. However the display of the scale on anything else than the 6 selected symbols can also be turned off.
There are options provided on how exactly you want to indicator to determine if the chart symbol matches one of the selected symbols.
You can enable it to make sure the exchange/broker is the exact same as selected.
It can check for only the symbol root to match the selection. Specifically for futures this means that while ES1! might be selected, anything ES (ES1!, ES2!, ESH2025, ESM2025, ESM2022, ...) will be a match to the selection)
On the painted scale it is possible to not just show this range extended into each direction once. Per default you will have 3 segments of it in each direction. This can be reduced to just 1 or increased.
If you chose a high number of segments or a large range make sure to use the "Scale price chart only" option on your chart scale to not have the symbols price candles squished together by the charts auto scaling.
And last but not least the indicator options provide some possibilities to change the appearance of the printed price range scale in case you disagree with my design.
Multi-Timeframe RangeThe Multi-Timeframe Range Indicator is designed for traders looking to monitor key price levels across various timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly) directly on their charts. This indicator draws boxes and mid-lines for each timeframe’s high, low, and midpoint, enabling users to visualize price ranges and assess potential areas of support and resistance more effectively.
Features:
Dynamic Range Boxes: Displays the high, low, and midpoint levels for each specified timeframe, with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Visual Cues for Monday’s Levels: Highlights Monday’s high, low, and midpoint levels each week to support intraday trading setups and weekly trend analysis.
Multi-Timeframe Flexibility: Easily toggle between timeframes to view ranges from daily to yearly, making this indicator suitable for both short-term and long-term traders.
Ideal Use Cases:
Identify key support and resistance zones based on multiple timeframes.
Assess weekly and monthly trends using the Monday range levels.
Gain insights into market structure across various timeframes.
Delayed Opening Price Line with GuardrailsThis Delayed Opening Price Line with Guardrails indicator will draw 5 price level lines on the chart each day, beginning at the open of the first candle after a delay period specified by the user in the indicator settings. The default delay is 30 minutes from market open.
The lines are drawn at the open price of the first candle after the delay period, and then a specified increment above and below that price level. These increments default to 80 and 100, and can be adjusted in the indicator settings.
Most markets, indices, and equities have a finite and consistent range of price movement within a trading day. Eg. a particular stock may usually move no more that $50 up or down in a given day, which can be proven by looking at a historical chart. This indicator allows the user to quickly display that range on the chart once it's been defined.
Important note: This indicator is designed to be used on an intra-day chart - eg. minutes, or hourly. It will give an error if used on a longer time-frame chart.
Range SlicerThis is a tool I quickly put together to work along side of my round number and Quarter Theory Scripts. This script allows you to set a price range between to values and slice them up into equal price zones. Happy Trading!
lefrog_Price Range WaveformThe Price Range Waveform calculated the difference from the open to close in percentage based.
The "Critical Range" input field lets you calibrate the zone above which a background color will be triggered.
Very useful in evaluating price expansion/contraction cycles and probable bottoms.
Works on any ticker and any timeframe.
Modification of the "Critical Range" default value may be mandatory.
