Volume-Weighted Closing Range (TG Fork)

tartigradia Updated   
Volume-weighted closing range of each bar. Closing range is (high - close) relative to the length of the wick (high - low). A close at the top of the wick would be 100%, middle 50%, bottom 0%. This is then multiplied by volume to weight towards high volume bars.

A moving average is applied to visualize trend in volume-weighted closing range over time.

Options include changing the threshold of bullish closes. The default is 50%, but you can view a close above 40% as a bullish .

How to use:
  • Columns indicate per-bar closing range, and can be used as either a buying-selling pressure indicator, or as an overreaction detector (eg, bars that are abnormally big can be used to start a fading/contrarian trade next bars). Green means the bar closed in the upper range, red in the lower range.
  • The cloud is the moving average over several bars (by default using EMA). This tends to represent sentiment over a period of time, and hence trend/momentum. Can be used in any timescale, even on weekly, then this represents the market cycles.
