[COG] MTF RZP Heatmap (Range Zone Pulse) What It Does This indicator creates three visual heatmaps that show how current price movement compares to the average range of different timeframes. It helps traders:
Identify when price moves are overextended Compare momentum across different timeframes Spot potential reversal points Understand the relative strength of price movements
How It Works
Range Calculation:
For each selected timeframe, it calculates an average range based on the specified number of periods The range is measured from high to low for each period A moving average of these ranges creates a dynamic "normal" range for that timeframe
Position Calculation:
Measures how far price has moved from the period's opening price Compares this movement to the average range Converts the movement into a percentage (-100% to +100%)
Visual Display:
Shows three vertical heatmaps, one for each timeframe Colors graduate from bearish (typically red) to bullish (typically green) A dot indicator shows the current position within each range Percentage labels show exact movement relative to average range
Trading Applications
Trend Trading:
Multiple timeframes aligned in the same color suggest strong trend Use larger timeframes (Daily/Weekly) for trend direction Use smaller timeframes (4H/1H) for entry timing
Mean Reversion:
Extreme readings (near +100% or -100%) suggest overextended moves Look for divergences between timeframes Use when shorter timeframes show extremes but larger timeframes don't
Volatility Trading:
Compare current moves to average ranges Identify when markets are more volatile than usual Adjust position sizes based on range expansion/contraction
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Compare price action across different time horizons Identify conflicting signals between timeframes Use for timeframe alignment in trading decisions
Best Practices for Usage
Timeframe Selection:
Set the first timeframe to your trading timeframe Set the second timeframe to your trend timeframe Set the third timeframe to your entry timeframe
Range Period Settings:
Default is 5 periods Increase for more stable readings Decrease for more responsive readings
Color Interpretation:
Darker colors indicate stronger moves Look for alignment across timeframes Watch for extremes in any timeframe
Trading Setups:
Wait for alignment in multiple timeframes Use extreme readings for counter-trend trades Combine with other indicators for confirmation
