hi there,
im looking for an indicator that measures the average daily range (from high to low) over a period of time (input).
I want the Indicator to alert whenever the current days range of a stock meets the average daily range so i can take a look at the asset for either a mean-reversion play or a breakout pattern.
Is there any indicator available?
Thanks and happy new year!
Phil

It is a good start, but you need to expand on your description...hi there,

eg. Where do you want to do this analysis? On a daily chart? as part of an intraday minute chart?
All these detail matters, because the answer is always -- it depends.
