Gold PB 15m Range Reversal
A P/B range-reversal tool for XAUUSD on the 15-minute chart: it finds impulse-then-balance structures and marks reversals at the range edges.
Illustrative graphic only. Not real market data.
OverviewWhat it does
Detects an impulse move followed by a balance range, then marks range-edge reversals with reference levels and an optional higher-timeframe filter.
FeaturesWhat is inside
Impulse then balance (P / b structure)
Looks for a strong, efficient impulse move, then a tight balance range. A “P” marks a range after a bullish impulse and a “b” marks one after a bearish impulse.
Automatic range boxes
Draws the balance range with its high, midpoint and low, and keeps it live until it breaks, times out or is replaced.
Liquidity-sweep reversals
Marks reversals when price sweeps beyond a range edge and closes back inside, using a boundary zone at each edge (20% by default).
MACD exhaustion check
Requires the MACD histogram to show a chosen number of bars of fading momentum before a setup qualifies.
Confirmation window
The setup must be confirmed by a micro-break within a set number of candles, so it can expire if that does not happen.
Reference levels
Plots reference entry, stop (range extreme plus an ATR buffer and an execution buffer) and two targets: the range midpoint and the opposite edge of the range.
Standard or Conservative mode
Conservative mode also requires the last completed 4H candle to align with the 200 EMA and the 4H ADX to be at or above a threshold (30 by default).
Direction control
Short only by default; choose both directions or long only in settings.
Status dashboard
Context check, range state, 4H filter, reference position state, last side, entry/stop, TP1/TP2, 4H ADX and current action.
