David Richchild Quarters TheoryRichchild Quarters Theory divides market movement into four 25% segments of an instrument’s Average Period Range (APR) to estimate what institutions are likely doing as the move progresses.
The idea is that price doesn’t travel randomly during a day or week — it tends to deliver its normal range in phases.
Typical logic:
0–25% → accumulation, direction not confirmed
25–50% → intent begins to appear
50–75% → strong, imbalanced impulse
75–100% → profit taking or exhaustion (possible reversal or slowdown)
Traders use it to judge how much fuel is left in the move and whether continuation or reversal is more likely.
One-line essence:
👉 Measure how far price has already traveled relative to its normal range, and you can estimate the remaining objective.
