Good morning,

I am looking for an indicator that would show the price movement in % from the open (00:00GMT - or manual input), e.g.: today's open on cable is 1.4269 and we are currently at 1.4160 (-109 pips or ~-0.75% on the day).

Has anyone such an ind. or could write one without much effort for metatrader?

Thanks in advance,

regards

You need in % or a simple range indicator will do the work? Im using ranges all the time as it is required data to know as per my trading method.

Hi Belekas,

No, I would need precisely what I asked for - I do have a range indicator (Hi/Lo, daily), which is not much help I'm afraid.

Then you should have someone to code it for you.

Cheers.

I will write it for you no problem. Do you want a continuous display as a histogram, or line in a separate window at the bottom or just a text displayed on the chart of the running percent? Either way is no problem, let me know which way you want it. I will set it up, so you can choose which way you want to have the calc. start as either a open on the day/ time period or an override for manual entry.

I'll write it as soon as you let me know on the display.

thatwasme,

that is awesome, thank you!

What I would like is a (small) number in the top corner (left or right) of the chart telling me the movement in % from the open (which should be 00:00 GMT or manual input depending on the platform location - since some platforms count the beginning of the day from GMT plus or minus).

It is a struggle to approximate this manually all the time, hahaha.

Let me know if you can/want to do it.

Thanks again,

regards

Is this what you want?

Man, that is excellent - did you just rustle that up in the last 10 minutes??

Well, I certainly owe you a favour - if I can ever be of help in any way, let me know.

Hey man, I have already picked up some gold in your wake. Happy to help.

I put in inputs, so you can place it anywhere you want to on your chart, with the X and Y inputs.

If you want any refinements, let me know, be happy to help.

daytrading - may I ask how you are using this information, please - as a warning not to enter beyond a certain % move or to trade the strongest / weakest pairs (which is how I used to use this information, but not at present as I am only trading EC and DAX intraday) ?

JTrade,

I am using it as a second means for trade management - e.g. when I have a specific percentage of my account allocated for my daily risk, I use the indicator for gauging the possibility of averaging a trade.

Also, I am trying to collect some data regarding % spikes and stretches from given points in time (that does not always have to be midnight GMT since the ind. allows manual time input)

Thanks for the response, daytrading.

I have found a great deal of what you have posted here at FF to be very good "food for thought".

THATWASME,

If you are around and have time: could you have a look whether there is a way to have multiple of your indicators on an open chart?

I want for example to display at the same time the daily % change, underneath the weekly % change and finally the monthly % change.

At the moment, I have to open your indicator and manually input the price for any other time frame than daily - which is fine but I can only put the ind. on a chart once, it will not let me put on several of them (like MA's for example).

Let me know if you can help.

Thanks in advance,

regards
