Overview

The calculation uses constant multiplication rather than division to optimize execution speed. It functions purely as a price transform without generating directional trading signals, entry triggers, or alerts. The script contains no user-configurable input settings or adjustable parameters. Because it omits the closing price and includes the current bar's high and low, the plotted value continues to fluctuate during the formation of an unconfirmed bar.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
