High minus low

 

HI, not after an indicator as such as i dont want any chart space taken up, but is it possible to get the candle high minus low displayed in the Data window ? basically showing the pip count (range) of the candle when hovered over??


cheers onis.

Your question was "is it possible", so my answer is not cryptic but very clear.

Only indicator can display values in the Data window. So you need an indicator that will display this value and will not draw anything on a chart.

 

is there such an indicator ? i was using ATR with value set to 1 but wasnt sure if this was correct ? doesn't ATR count gaps too?

any assistance muchly appreciated.
