Indicator Detection (Dual_Range_Zones_Overlap) Logic Summary 

The core function of this Indicator is to lock specific consolidation ranges (Range A and Range B) in the market using two static flags, pauseA and pauseB.

1. Detection and Locking Mechanism

• Initial State: Ranges start unlocked (pause = false).

• Locking Criteria (pause = true): A Range is locked when the following two conditions are met simultaneously:

1. Size Requirement: The current bar's size (High minus Low) must be greater than or equal to the minimum required points (minRange_A or minRange_B).

2. Inside Bar Requirement: The Open and Close prices of the next period_A or period_B bars must be completely contained within the High and Low of the triggering large bar (CheckInside function).

• Unlocking Criteria (pause = false): Once a Range is locked (pause = true), it remains locked until the Closing Price (close[i]) of ANY bar breaks above the locked high boundary or below the locked low boundary. (i.e., close[i] > highA/B || close[i] < lowA/B).

2. Boundary Definition (Top/Bottom)

The boundary values (Top/Bottom) are fixed when the lock occurs:

• Range A Top/Bottom: Set to the High and Low values (highA, lowA) of the specific large bar that initially triggered the locking condition.

• Range B Top/Bottom: Set to the High and Low values (highB, lowB) of the specific large bar that initially triggered the locking condition.
