Control Candle Range

The Control Candle Range is a powerful trading tool that automatically identifies control candles in real time. The versatile ranges drawn by this indicator can be used in a variety of trading strategies because they can be used as ranges as well as areas of support and resistance.

The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by automatically identifying and displaying Control Candle Ranges.


USAGE

A Control Candle is a candle that is followed by two consecutive inside candles. When this pattern is detected, this indicator will automatically identify it and draw a range in real time. This range will continue to extend as long as candles continue to close within the range of the Control Candle. It is important to note that a Control Candle is still valid if the price action exits its range as long as it closes within its range.

This script also supports higher time frame mapping, allowing you to draw Control Candle Ranges from higher timeframes onto lower timeframe charts. This is a powerful feature that allows users to see multiple timeframes worth of information at a glance on one single chart.

Each Control Candle Range will also be displayed with a label to allow users to understand at a glance which timeframe the range is being drawn from. These labels can be turned off in the settings.

The user also has the ability to adjust the color of each timeframe’s ranges.
