Premium + Discount Ranges (M1D)
Premium + Discount Ranges
Measures the range you are trading inside, the way it is read by eye from the newest swing point on a chosen timeframe across to the swing of the opposite kind, split into premium and discount either side of an equilibrium. Three ranges can run at once, each on its own timeframe, so an execution range can be read inside the higher one that frames it.
Two ways to bound a range
Period takes the timeframe's own high and low so far: one month is one range, it starts empty at the open and is gone at the rollover. It answers where price sits in the month.
Swing takes the newest confirmed swing high across to the newest swing low on that same timeframe, which owes nothing to the calendar and can run across many periods. It answers which structural range price is inside right now.
Each range picks its own mode, and the chart says which: "1M High" is this month's high, "1M Swing High" is the monthly swing high.
What counts as a swing
A swing is a level price actually turned at, not merely a high that sits above its neighbours while price kept running the same way. The candle has to hold the extreme against a chosen number of candles either side of it, and by default it also has to mark the change of direction — a swing high on the turn from an up candle to a down one, a swing low on the turn from down to up. That second condition can be switched off to accept any candle holding the extreme, regardless of what it turned into.
Every swing is read from candles already closed on its own timeframe, one bar clear of the newest bar, so nothing on a forming higher-timeframe candle can confirm or unconfirm it.
The raided edge
A confirmed swing is the last level price turned at, which is not always the edge of the range being traded right now — the moment a boundary is taken, the real range is already wider than the swings describe. Each boundary is carried out to the extreme price has actually reached since its swing confirmed, and draws dotted while it is out there: a level price has not yet turned at is a raid in progress, not structure. It settles back to solid the moment a new swing confirms behind it. This can be switched off to pin both boundaries to confirmed swings only, with price free to trade outside the range.
Direction and shading
The range is read from whichever swing formed most recently. A new swing low means price has already turned up away from it, so the leg is bullish and discount is the side being worked from; a new swing high reads the other way. The first range is shaded premium and discount by default; the shading can optionally lean toward the side being worked from, fading the other side back. Ranges two and three draw as bare levels by default so a bias range never muddies the range being traded.
Anchoring and labels
Every boundary starts at the candle that set it, never drawn back across bars that closed before that price existed. The equilibrium and the shading begin at the later of the two swings, because a range has no midpoint until both ends exist.
Each range's names can follow the global label settings or override them: centred over the range's own span, to the left, to the right, at the swing that set the level, or off. Two names landing on the same price are merged into one label rather than left stacked; two that land close together without being the same level are separated by a blank line rather than overlapping.
The readout
One panel, two blocks. The first names each active range's timeframe, whether it fits under the chart's own timeframe, which way it is working, which half of it price is trading in, and how far through it price has travelled. The second is a calendar statistic rather than a swing one: the average daily, weekly and monthly range over a chosen number of completed periods, how much of that average the current period has already used, and a countdown to the period's close.
Alerts
Six. Price crossing into premium, price crossing into discount, price trading the equilibrium, the range high taken, the range low taken, and a new swing redrawing the range. All six read the range being traded — range one.
Method and repainting
Swings on ranges two and three are read on their own timeframe via a higher-timeframe request; range one's swing test is likewise timeframe-bound to whichever timeframe is chosen for it. Every swing reads only candles already closed, one bar back, so nothing about it depends on lookahead revealing an unclosed bar.
A confirmed boundary moves only when a genuinely new swing prints. The one part of the drawing that is live by design is a boundary carried out to a raid in progress, and it draws dotted so that is visible rather than implied.
What it will not do
It places no entries, exits, stops or targets, and it does not size a position. It draws no trend line, no bias score and no target projection beyond the range itself. It does not identify order blocks, fair value gaps or liquidity pools — only the swing highs and lows that bound the range and the equilibrium between them.
Settings
Per range: on/off, timeframe, Period or Swing, label placement override, swing strength, premium/discount shading, boundary width. Swing definition: whether a direction turn is required, whether a raided boundary is carried out to price. Shading: premium and discount colours, transparency, whether the shading leans with direction and by how much. Lines: boundary and equilibrium colour and width, how far boundaries extend past the last bar. Labels: side and nudge for the high, low and equilibrium of each range, whether premium/discount get their own names, the collision distance that separates two close labels, whether price is shown in the label, label size and colour. Readout: show/hide, position, size. Average ranges: show/hide, lookback length for each of daily, weekly and monthly, and whether the close countdown is shown.
