Looking for a daily range indicator

Postby philippas » 04 Jan 2015

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...

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.

You should get yourself acquainted with a few functions that came with your PowerLanguage Editor (PLE):

AvgTrueRange (Function)
Range (Function)
RangeLeader (Function)
TrueRange (Function)
TrueRangeCustom (Function)


You can find the description, explanation, and usage examples in this free e-book
