Zerg range filter

credit to Kivanc turkish pinecoder for base indicator i reworked with chatgpt and some common sense

this indicator similar to the ADX but i think its better visually to keep you out of market conditions that are unfavorable.

i made original indicator to work in a 0-100 enviroment (before it was a zero middle line oscillator) and added background coloring that has a lower and higher threshold setting. i also added a smoothing moving average. this will trigger threshold levels (not the core oscillator)

above higher level would indicate trending market conditions and its purple. these are the areas where you might want to buy low period moving average bounces like 10 or 21 ema

lower band will paint indicator background blue and its cold, meaning range bound trade ideas are likely play out better. selling resistance and buying horizontal supports for example.

you are encourage to play with lookback period and change thresholds until you find something that works for your trading.

on the picture above it illustrates how i intended its usage.

it also shows divergences which was not intended but also a function.

you can also observe as the oscillator likes to coil up into a tight range (horizontal or a wedge formation) and when these break their trendlines explosive moves are incoming usually.

if you have a trading system and can generate a lot of signals but want to filter out some loser trades this could be the indicator you were looking for.

i hope this will be inline with community guidelines. my other publishing got removed unfortunately
