Swing range

Span of the last confirmed swings with an OTE band.

The span between the last confirmed swing high and low. Above the middle is premium, below is discount; the OTE band sits between the near and far retracement fractions.

Swings are walked in confirmation order, not chart order: the span a trader had is the one that was knowable then. Only the OTE band is drawn — the full box would cover the chart.

Names

Neutral: Swing range / Swing-Spanne. ICT: Premium & Discount, short OTE (also Dealing Range, Optimal Trade Entry, Equilibrium).
