Previous Time Based Dealing Ranges 🧪 [Pro +]

Visualize previous and current higher timeframe dealing ranges with dual-box OHLC representation, extending reference lines, and HTF candle displays.

OVERVIEW
This indicator displays time-based dealing ranges from higher timeframes directly on your chart. It shows the complete price action structure of previous (or current/forming) periods using a dual-box system: one box for the full High-Low range and another for the Open-Close body. Reference lines extend from key levels to help identify potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones.

Perfect for traders who use ICT concepts, market structure analysis, or any methodology that relies on understanding where price has been relative to previous dealing ranges.
