Best indicators for testing when the pair is ranging?

New comment
 
Looking for indicators that tell you when the pair is ranging. cheers
 
red lines are for sell (sell lines), blue lines are for buy (buy lines). So, bullish (uptrend) and bearish (downtrend) are separated by color of the lines in this indicator. Buy is main blue line is above blue signal line and both are in uptrend. If "sell within no buy" - this is correction (opposite for rally). if "no buy" and "no sell" - this is flat.

How can we know: correction, or bullish etc (in case of using indicator for example)?

well ... let's take AbsoluteStrength indicator from MT5 CodeBase.

bullish (Bull market) :

bearish (Bear market) :

ranging (choppy market - means: buy and sell on the same time) :


flat (sideways market - means: no buy and no sell) :

correction :

correction in a bear market (Bear Market Rally) :



 
Besides, you can find indicators on CodeBase (I see some indicators which were coded especially to evaluate the ranging market condition).
And you can use some standard indicators (such as RSI and so on) placing the levels.

And finally sorry:
