Determining Range

 

Hi guys

Has anyone created an automated method or has an idea about a way to do one that determines if a symbol is trading within a range and determining the range?

I am working on an indicator that does that, so I would like to hear if anyone has any input.

Thank you

Range of what? Spread ? Volume ? Price ? Time ? Timeless range ? Correlation ranges ?

Price.

Say you set a timeframe and you see if there are 2 level within which the symbol seems to be trading within.

If someone has a logic for automatically determining these levels other than just manually drawing 2 lines at the highest and lowest values.

 

I'd use absolutestrengthmarket_v1 to determine if it is in range and donchian channel (or bollinger) for the levels

bearish (Bear market) :
