Where can I find the indicator that will give me average range of a candle based on its "body only" ignoring the wick and tail. Basically the range as in Open to Close movement of each candle.

Attached are two indicators that I wrote many years ago.

With Candle length.ex4, set CandleBodyOnly to true, if you want it to display the distance between the open and close only.

Candle strength.ex4 displays the distance between the open and close as a percentage of the total height of the candle.

Thanks for the Indicators but that's not what I am looking for. I need an Indicator that does exactly what the ATR does with the exception that it measures the total length of the candle from Open-Close....instead of from High-Low.

This should do the trick

Here is a modded version that includes both ATR and ABR

... and also Body-Range/True-Range convergence/divergence
