Indicator alerts on ADX-based range/breakouts (Titan_ADX_Range)
Indicator Overview
This indicator uses the ADX value to detect the occurrence of ranging markets and range breakouts.
Specifically, it considers the market to be ranging when the ADX is below a certain level (default is 20) for more than a specified number of bars (default is 20 bars), and it draws lines at the high and low levels of this period.
Additionally, if the price breaks through these upper or lower lines, an arrow and an alert will notify you.
Indicator Display
When the ADX value remains below the specified threshold for more than the designated number of bars, horizontal lines are drawn at the high and low levels of that state. Moreover, while the ADX value continues below the threshold, the background color between these high and low lines is highlighted (see image below ①).
Later, if the ADX value exceeds the threshold, the background color disappears (refer to the image below ②).
*The range of the high and low is fixed during the period when the ADX is below the threshold.
Subsequently, if there is a movement that breaks above or below the high and low levels based on the closing price, this will be indicated with an arrow on the chart.
【Example of Indicator Display】
*This indicator only works on the Windows version of TitanFX's MT5 and MT4.
