A two-minute walkthrough of Consolidation Ranges & Breakout Map — the free
TradingView overlay that marks tight consolidation ranges as they form on
confirmed bars, then labels what happens when price leaves them: breakout,
one-times-range projection hit, or a false break back inside. Animated
schematics explain the mechanics; every number shown comes from the live
base-rates panel on the recorded charts.

- 0:00 — 57% vs 40%: what these charts measured
- 0:20 — What the indicator marks (animated schematic)
- 0:40 — How a range is built: the compression score
- 0:58 — Breakout, false break, 1× projection
- 1:16 — Base rates panel: four markets side by side
- 1:53 — Where to get it
Key takeaways
- A range is only drawn when inefficiency, volatility contraction and
containment line up into a single compression score; when the score clears
the lock threshold, the box is fixed — on confirmed bars, nothing repaints. - Once a box is set, the tool tracks three outcomes and labels each as it
confirms: a breakout that follows through, a hit of the one-times-range
projection (the box height mirrored above the break), or a false break
that closes back inside. - The base-rates panel keeps a running count on the loaded history of the
chart in front of you. On the recorded charts: EURUSD 1h printed 48/44/40%
over 135 ranges, BTCUSD 1h 48/49/43% (n=190), XAUUSD 4h 49/44/42% (n=170) —
and SPX500USD 1h showed a 57% false-break rate (n=81), genuinely different
from FX under the same rule. - These are descriptive counts, not a forecast — another symbol or timeframe
will produce its own numbers, which is the point: measure your market
instead of guessing.
