Stretch Indicator

Postby logicgate » Sat Dec 29, 2018 7:02 am

Hi there dear friend apprentice, here is a simple indi that might be useful for taking trades called ORB (opening range breakout). For that we need to know the stretch, which is defined as follows:

"The stretch is determined by looking at the previous ten days and averaging the sums of the differences between the open for each day and the closest extreme to the open on each day".

What I understand by that is that first we calculate the difference between the open and the closest extreme to the open (which will be the high or the low of the day). Do that for 10 days. Sum the result from all 10 days then divide by 10.

The indi could be just a text in the corner of the screen saying Stretch: 20 for example.If we could drag it around, better.

If you think it is possible, thanks! I am sending you the book via PM.

Cheers!

Try this version.
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=67220
Is calculated as max of (abs(high-open) and abs(low-open))
This Data is then averaged.

Thanks for the lightning fast response. I am sorry but forgot to mention that it is for MT4, my friend.

Just wanted to tell you, I really don't need to see the indicator window or a plotted line, as I will follow the instructions of the book, I am just interested in seeing the Stretch value as intended by the author, so 10 days. It is just a numerical value we are interested in, no graphs. If you could be so kind to compile a MT4 version with no indicator window, just a text in the corner of the screen saying "Stretch: 20" for example, that we could drag and place wherever we want, it would suffice. Of course, if you wish to leave one option on the indicator so we can put how many days to look back (default being 10) it will give room to more experimenting.

Thanks!

Thanks brother!

Sorry, but what do you mean by label? You mean doing it like I asked in my request post?
