ARVEX Range + Fakeout
ARVEX Range + Fakeout is a professional range + liquidity event indicator designed to visualize stop-hunts (fakeouts) at range extremes and project adaptive target zones inside the active range.
Instead of drawing generic support/resistance lines, it builds a living range framework (High / Low / Mid), detects wick + close-back-in fakeouts, and automatically maps reaction zones where price is statistically likely to revisit after a liquidity grab.
This is a context and execution-planning tool, not a buy/sell system.
What you see on the chart
1) Dynamic Range Framework (Donchian-based)
A clean range built from the last N bars (current bar excluded):
- Range High / Range Low
- Range Midline
- Optional Solid or Premium Gradient range box
- Optional pulse animation for a premium “alive” look
2) Stop-Hunt / Fakeout Markers
Clear event markers when price:
- breaks a range boundary intrabar (wick)
- then closes back inside the range
Signal styles:
- Clean Pins (triangles)
- Minimal Tag (“FO”)
- Optional Glow FX, with intensity scaling by fakeout strength
3) Adaptive Target Zones (Mid + Opposite Edge)
After a confirmed fakeout, the indicator can draw:
- Mid Target Zone (equilibrium / mean reversion zone around the range midpoint)
- Opposite Edge Zone (target band projected deeper toward the other side of the range)
Target zones support:
- Solid box or Gradient Band rendering
- Custom extension length
- Optional auto-cleanup (expire / delete on touch)
Purpose
ARVEX Range + Fakeout Targets is a reaction framework, not an entry trigger.
It answers key execution questions:
- Where is the active range right now?
- Did price just perform a liquidity sweep (stop-hunt) or a true breakout?
- Which zones matter next after the fakeout?
- Should I focus on mid reversion or opposite-side rotation?
Ideal as:
- A range regime layer
- A liquidity event detector
- A target-mapping tool for mean reversion and rotation trades
- A confirmation layer for discretionary setups
How it works (high level)
1) Range Engine (Donchian)
- Range High = highest high of last N bars (excluding current bar)
- Range Low = lowest low of last N bars (excluding current bar)
- Range Mid = midpoint of High/Low
This prevents the current candle from “self-defining” the range.
2) Fakeout / Stop-Hunt Logic
A fakeout event triggers when:
- Fakeout Up: price wicks above Range High but closes back ≤ Range High
- Fakeout Down: price wicks below Range Low but closes back ≥ Range Low
Optional ATR wick filter:
- filters out tiny pokes
- requires a minimum penetration size (in ATR)
3) Strength Scoring (Penetration + Rejection)
To adapt targets and visuals, the indicator calculates strength from:
- Penetration: how far price pushed beyond the boundary (in ATR)
- Rejection: how strongly it snapped back into the range (in ATR)
Strength is normalized into a 0–1 score and can drive:
- Glow intensity
- Adaptive target placement
4) Target Zone System (Adaptive + Configurable Width)
Targets can be:
- Mid Zone
- Opposite Edge Zone
- or both
Zone width can be based on:
- ATR width (volatility-aware)
- % of range width
Zones automatically extend forward for a defined number of bars and can optionally be removed:
- when touched
- or when expired
Best Use Workflow (simple)
- Identify the active range and midline
- Wait for a fakeout marker at an extreme
- Use the target zones as reaction areas
- Confirm with your own structure/volume/momentum tools
