Description:
This indicator compares the high and low range of today’s opening candle. It provides insights into the extent of price movement within a single trading day relative to the first candle. A wider range compared may indicate increased volatility or momentum, while a narrower range could suggest a consolidation or indecision in the market. Traders often use this indicator to gauge the intraday market sentiment and potential trading opportunities based on breakout or reversal patterns. This is best if used within scripting in features such as the Market Scanner or Strategy Tester.
