..some measure of “center” or average price is useful.
- Adam H. Grimes

This line off Adams blog inspired me to cook up a very simple indicator that just takes the High and Low of the time given (input in minutes), adds them together and divides it in half. This way we get a center based on the higher timeframe. Not only does it inform you of the dominating trend, but also works as a sort of momentum indicator if you measure the distance price is from the center.
