Best Indicator to avoid consolidation periods ?

 

Hi All,

What would be the best indicator or EA script to avoid "consolidation" periods (such as the one below in red)? Preferably other than the Bollinger bands.

Look at this thread : How to identify and trade in a RANGE


The indicator proposed by Candles in that thread can't be used to filter trade in a range. It is not designed for that, as it draws "range box" only at the end of a range.It is then too late to use it as a filter.
