Price_Quote
Download script
This script serves as an interactive information dashboard for your trading chart, providing a real-time snapshot of current market pricing and historical performance data. Its primary purpose is to display key statistics clearly on the screen without cluttering the price action itself.
Core Functionality
Real-Time Price Tracking The tool monitors the current live market price (Bid) and immediately displays it on your chart. To provide instant context, it calculates the percentage change from the opening price of a specific timeframe (such as a daily or hourly session).
- Visual Indicators: The script uses color coding to help you identify trends at a glance: gains are displayed in green, while losses are highlighted in red.
Historical Range Analysis Beyond the current price, the tool identifies and displays critical historical milestones based on the period you select. It automatically calculates:
- The High: The highest price reached during the specified period.
- The Low: The lowest price reached during that same timeframe.
- The Range: The total distance (spread) between that high and low, converted into pips for easy readability.
Smart Logic Features
Dynamic Timeframe Recognition The script is designed to be intelligent about how it labels data. Depending on the time period you choose (e.g., minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months), it automatically detects the appropriate unit and updates the display labels accordingly. This ensures that the information remains accurate whether you are day trading small intervals or monitoring long-term trends.
Customizable Layout The script allows for a personalized user experience by letting you define:
- Placement: You can choose which corner of the chart the data appears in (e.g., Top Right, Bottom Left).
- Visual Styling: Users can adjust the font type, text size, and specific colors to ensure the information is perfectly legible against different chart backgrounds.
Summary for the Trader
Essentially, this tool acts as a "digital ticker" that summarizes the most important numbers of your current session. It tells you exactly where the price is now compared to where it started, how far it has traveled, and the boundaries of the current market move—all presented in a clean, easy-to-read overlay.
