How to Use This Indicator

Trade Entry

Use the data panel to judge where the price stands in the daily cycle.

For example, a buy setup near the daily low becomes stronger if other indicators (EMA200 or RSI) confirm bullish momentum.

Likewise, fading moves near the daily high works well if momentum is turning bearish.

Stop Loss

Place stops just beyond the daily extreme levels.

For buys, set stops below the daily low; for sells, above the daily high.

This ensures protection if the market breaks beyond its normal range.

Take Profit

Targets can be placed at recent swing levels or using a risk-to-reward ratio of 1.5R–2R.

The daily range data also helps to decide if the market still has enough room to reach your target.
