Hi guys...

I'm looking for a metatrader plug that will show me the range of a candle so I can save time calculating it over and over again.

If somebody knows about something like that I will really appreciate getting this info.

Thanks a million !!!

just define the meaning of your "candle range" here and someone may be able to code it.

Sorry if I was too vague in my question

I'm looking for something really simple. What I am looking for is a plugin that allows me to put my mouse pointer on the candle and have it deduct the high of the candle from the low, and spit out the "candle range". It can be something that happens when I right click the candle, or have a pop up box that will come up with the same info, or whatever, as long as it gives me the information. And it would be for any kind of candle, regardless of whether it's a 5 min candle, 5 min range, daily candle, daily range, etc...

I've never coded anything from scratch but I'm willing to modify something that's already out there (since I've done so in the past). If somebody can guide me to a code template that I can change to what I'm looking for, or knows of one that already does this, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Here's something that draws the range as a line in a separate window. you can use the middle mouse button to cross hair the line and it's corresponding candle.

Hey boss...thank you very much, not just for answering my post but also for taking your time and sending me the indicator. It was not quite what I was looking for because it did not actually give me the range in numbers like 20 pips, 40 pips etc. Anyways I don't think I mentioned this detail in my post

But now at least I can start with something, take a look at the code, and try to make fit my needs.

Again...thanks a million !!! Zen is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm feeling generous... This is the modified version that shows in terms of pips. It's also made to cater for fractional pips.

Will anyone be kind enough to modify the indicator posted in this thread to display the range in a histogram format, instead of a line?

God bless.

Years later, THANK YOU!

This candle range indicator is working like a charm! Im using Soft4FX to backtest in MT4 which is an amazing tool, but it doesn't allow all custom indicators to work. This one prints the range in the Data Window, which is exactly what the doctor ordered, especially when trying to get the average ranges for certain candles like the 4hrs.

Less elegant but effective method is to add theCandle Range in Pips indicator to chart , then open the Data Window.
Now if you hover your cursor over each candle, the value will appear in the data window.

You can of course remove the Date, Open, High, Low, Close & Volume data by right clicking the data window & unticking the data options.
