Hi, I have been using an ADR indicator for a few years now because I need to know how many pips a currency pair has moved in relation to yesterday, and long term, monthly or 6 monthly. and also how far price has moved from the low or high of the day. The indicator prints the current pip distance from the daily top and to the daily bottom in pips. This could be useful if you have seen the pair do a move and retrace and you can't tell how far away it has moved. Also, by adding the low and high in our head we can quickly see how many pips the pair...
Is the high and the low calculated from the previous day?

No they are from today but it uses the MT4's chart time.
(the day starts at the most recent period separator line)
Have a nice day

So is it actually the Average Daily Range that is being used to determine the percentage or something else? I ask, because I have an ADR indicator on my chart with yours there also, and the percent was 155%, but it was nowhere near that amount on the other indicator which has the ADR period set for 15.

The other indicator you are referring to is not mine.

The calculation for the ADR % is very simple,
the indicator compares today's daily move against the average of input NumOfDays_6M
so if your 6M figure on the chart is 77 and the H=2 and L=4 then today's range= 2+4= 6
and therefore the ADR % will be approx 7% (it is rounded up or down)

The accuracy of the ADR % figure is not critical in our trading, (it will not make any difference if it was showing 5% or 9%)
I realize that the ADR reading is probably not going to be useful to many people and as such they don't need to use it.
But I use it as a quick reference when I scan 20 charts because I want to be able to see how far a currency pair has traveled (today).

The basic idea is that if today's range is very small (compared to the average), then perhaps we should take the day off and go for a swim.
Or if it has reached 120% and we are approaching lunch time in New York then perhaps the possibility of price reaching exhaustion and reversing is higher than if the time was 8am London.
Have a nice day

I get it now. I figured out that by changing M to 15 days, I get the same number for the other ADR indicator. The percentage is helpful, because if the percentage is at 7% and a currency strength meter is showing one currency to be gaining power over the other within a pair, then it's likely a good opportunity to plan a trade for that pair, since there is still much room to work with for the day.

I like your indicator! Thanks for sharing it.

Hi, many thanks for this! I have tested it on my MT5 terminal and have 2 issues to report however.

1) The spacing between each part is big. Refer to attached screenshot.
2) After deleting the indicator, the values are still present and adding the indicator right again will not get it working again.

Could you assist please?

Hi Billv, many thanks for your assistance!

I realised that the Journal log is also reporting memory leaks and is clashing with my EA. Not sure if it is because I put it on around 12 charts or there might be an issue with the porting over to MQL5. Am just reporting on the issues to help you clear any bugs that hasn't been reported yet.

Cheers!

Thanks, Its good to get your feedback.

What do you mean its "clashing with the EA"?
Can you attach a copy of your log?
Right click on the message inside the journal and select open.
Locate the most recent file and post it here.

Let me know if you notice anything else.

New Version for MT4 (please Delete version 3.9-7 it has a small bug)

Recent_Days_Weighting = 5;
It counts the average daily pip range of the last 5 trading days

M6_Trading_weighting
When=true the indicator adds the 5 day average pips to the 6M figure

I think Billy deserves a lot of credit for his work because sometimes FF members demands can be vague, unrealistic and plain unreasonable, so you need a lot of tolerance and patience just to deal with all of that !!!

Top work Billy and I agree ADR is not the be all and end all but used together with other confluences can aid placing trades ...

Hi, I have been using an ADR indicator for a few years now .....
I've always started ADR calculations at 1700 NY/ 2100 GMT (in summer).
Do you think there is an optimum start time...how about starting at the London session, 1000 GMT?

Did you manage to optimise the ADR period? I use 30, but it seems to vary from trader to trader.
