An attempt to create a half decent identifier of when the markets are ranging and in a state of choppiness and mean reversion - as opposed to in trending trade conditions.
It's super simple logic just working on some basic price action and market structure operating on higher time frames.
It uses the Donchian Channels but with hlc3 data as opposed to high/lows - and identifies periods in which the baseline is static, or when the channel upper & lower are contracting.
This combination identifies non trending price action with decreasing volatility, which tends to indicate a lot of upcoming chop and ranging/sideways action; especially when intraday trading and applied on the daily timeframe.
The filter increasing results in a decrease of areas identified as choppy by extending the required period of a sideways static basis, I've found values of 2 or 3 to be a nice sweetspot!
Overall should be pretty intuitive to use, when the background changes just consider altering your trading and investing approach. This was created as I've not really seen anything on here that functions quite the same.
I decided to not include the Donchian upper/lower/basis as I found that can often lead to decision bias and being influenced by where these lines are situated causing you to guess on future direction.
It's obviously never going to be perfect, but a nice and unbiased way to quickly check where we may be in a cycle; let me know if there are any issues/questions and please enjoy!

Hi Mate. I find this indicator is magical when used in combination with momentum strategy . One request. Can you keep the option of removing trend lines and other lines. It is hiding the visibility of candlesticks . Thank you.

@Parimal_S, Yep! Just made the changes for you. You might need to remove and re-add the indicator but then you should be golden.
