    Trend vs. Trading Range indicator?

    Is it possible to plot on a daily/hour chart an indicator that would show trending vs. range bound days? Or count of trending vs. range bound days?

    Hello caltrader,

    Thanks for your post.

    You would need a custom indicator to do this. If you do not know NinjaScript or do not have the time a 3rd party consultant could develop this for you.

      How do you determine which is which?
      What do the terms mean descriptively?

        I personally use general Dow Theory on a small period (5 or 8) SMA.

        Higher lows and higher highs means it's a bull trend.

        Lower lows and lower highs means it's a bear trend.

        Higher lows and lower highs means it's consolidating.

        Lower lows and higher highs means were entering/extending a trading range.

          Higher highs etc, on each "bar to next bar" measurement, or on swing measurement? If on swing measurements, what are the parameters to determine a valid swing?
