Range Bar Boundary Indicator For ThinkOrSwim

[kempo]

Hello! I've searched for this and I can't find it anywhere... I'd like to put an Indicator on my range charts that indicate the price that a new range bar will start forming. It looks like this on NinjaTrader. Thanks!

I am hoping to use this on 50 and 100 tick Range Bars

Thanks! I haven't a clue how to accomplish that. I'll try to work my way through it though. It'll be good to learn a little programming and I appreciate the idea!

I've been lurking and learning, and would like to at least give something back. I trade almost purely range charts. This is what I put together for my purposes. I believe this is what you're looking for:

### vm_RangeBarTicksRemaining by vollermist, 2021 - 2022
### this is for range bar charts

input showLabels = yes;

def current_bar = !IsNaN(close) and IsNaN(close[-1]);
def nan = Double.NaN;
def agg = GetValue(GetAggregationPeriod(), 0);
def uinit = low + agg * 1.0;
def dinit = high - agg * 1.0;

plot maxtop = if current_bar then uinit else nan;
maxtop.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
maxtop.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
maxtop.HideBubble();

plot minbottom = if current_bar then dinit else nan;
minbottom.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
minbottom.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
minbottom.HideBubble();

AddChartBubble(showLabels and IsNaN(close[-1]), text = "  newbar@: " + maxtop, "price location" = maxtop * 1.0015, color = Color.WHITE, yes);
AddChartBubble(showLabels and IsNaN(close[-1]), text = "  newbar@: : " + minbottom, "price location" = minbottom * 0.9985, color = Color.WHITE, no);
