What do you use to filter ranges and follow trends?

If you have a trend following bot what indicators/conditions do you guys use to filter the ranging periods and be in on trending periods?

Use a Higher TF candle sequence to filter range for example if you take trade on a M30 TF use a H4 series of candle to check if you are in a range, if lets say 4-5 H4 candles are withing thesame price area, thats a range
