If you want to find range then look upon different periods graph....once you know whats going on in different time frame you can know about the exact range.

I think first of all googling the subject is better approach.
Second check this article.It looks like a simple and effective approach : The ATR measures volatility, while the RSI measures momentum: http://www.tradeciety.com/how-to-use...dicator-guide/ Third you may predict the trend with random forest or one of machine learning classifying algorithm: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/1165

Forex is a very complicated cat. Many ways to skin it. ___ My way is to skin it inside the best range. All I need is how to spot it as fast as possible.
I agree.
The problem with the trend and the range periods, we can only realize that happened, after happening.
POW!

A single TF

1. Establish currency indices based on hourly bars of all USD pairs
2. Pick two currencies with the same channel bias (e.g. regression line) - i.e. both strong, both weak or both flat
3. Enter against direction when reaching daily pivots

First pair I found just now: USDCHF

1) About the same turning point timing
2) Same direction: strengthening

Again, why complicate.
Why making things more confusing than they are.

All we need is open your eyes.

I recommend doing some reading and research on the work of Wyckoff. He has some good suggestions for recognizing when price is in a range (accumulating or distributing) and when it is moving impulsively (trending). They usually tend to follow one, after the other, and it is this trend move, followed by a range, that forms a market cycle.

As for how long price will remain in a range, and exactly when it will stop ranging and start to breakout, that requires being able to measure the cycle length, or if you can believe Elliott, measure the number of moves within a cycle.

Even a strongly trending instrument, take Bitcoin for example, has definite cycles, and you can see the ranges tend to be at the top and the bottom of the cycle phase changes. In this diagram I've marked the trends in turquoise and the ranges in red. If you put a band/envelope around the price it helps you to see how ranges form in the top or bottom half of the range, and then break out at cycle midpoints.

If you don't like trends, trade at cycle peaks and tops only, if you do like trends trade at midpoints only. If you have two systems, one trend-following, and one reversal, then you can trade both.

Wyckoof is a good advice

{quote} Come on now... Sharing is caring bro. Transition from range to trend and trend to range is the biggest dilemma for PA traders. Outside of WHEN, knowing WHY is equally important. If i tell you WHY, will you show us How/When :-) {quote}
I can share with you something that has over 80% success of an early warning for range formation. I unnecessary play it humble, cause it is probably over 95%... I am monitoring this on Gold only. Probably it is the same everywhere. An early bird sign.

Look for a breakout of the last 5 H1 candles.

In a trend, there are real 5 H1 candles breakouts only in the trend direction. When you see a breakout in the other direction, of the last 5 H1 candles, that usually its a fake out. Most certainly it is. After that blissful fake out moment, they do like 3-4-5-6 more fake outs of the last 5 H1s, before continuing and trully breaking out the tight up to 150 pips range.

On FX pairs, the common range averages below 135 pips. On Gold goes extreme, to 150-70 pips, but it is pretty much the same thing.

Nice. A screenshot will help whenever you have a moment to spare. Is this centric only on H1 or on all timeframes?
