Daily Range Calculator

This tool is designed to help traders understand market volatility and establish strategic entry and exit points by analyzing the historical movement of a specific currency pair or asset. Instead of looking at complex charts, it simplifies market behavior into readable statistics regarding "Daily Ranges."

Core Functionality

1. Historical Range Analysis The script automatically calculates how much the price has moved (the distance between the highest and lowest points) over several different timeframes. It specifically tracks:

  • The range of the previous single day.
  • The average range over the last 5 days.
  • The average range over the last 10 days.
  • The average range over the last 20 days.

By aggregating this data, it produces a "Global Average Daily Range." This helps a trader understand what a "normal" amount of movement looks like for that specific asset.

2. Dynamic Space Calculation ("Room Up" and "Room Down") The tool measures the "available space" remaining in the current trading session. It compares the current price against the average daily range to determine:

  • Room Up: How much further the price can realistically move upward before hitting its typical daily limit.
  • Room Down: How much further the price can realistically move downward before hitting its typical daily limit.

3. Automated Risk Management (Stop-Loss Calculations) One of the primary features for a non-technical user is the automated calculation of safety nets. Based on a user-defined Risk-to-Reward Ratio (the balance between how much you are willing to lose versus how much you aim to gain), the script calculates:

  • Long Stop-Loss: The specific price level where a "Buy" position should be closed if it goes against the trader.
  • Short Stop-Loss: The specific price level where a "Sell" position should be closed if it goes against the trader.

It provides these values in both Pips (the unit of measurement for price movement) and the exact price on the current chart.

Visual Display

Instead of just providing numbers in a hidden menu, the script creates a clean, color-coded dashboard directly on your trading platform. It displays:

  • The specific currency pair name and the current timeframe.
  • All calculated averages (1, 5, 10, and 20-day ranges).
  • Live "Room" statistics for both directions.
  • Clearly labeled Stop-Loss prices in high-contrast colors (Green for Longs, Red for Shorts).
  • The previous day's High and Low points, alongside the current market price, to provide immediate context of where the price sits relative to yesterday's boundaries.
