Spread Percent

This indicator shows the percent change between the highs and the lows (or optionally the open and close) of each candle. You may also set a low and a high percent threshold to better highlight the candles that exceed your desired spread percent. Red signifies low spread, green is high spread - these are unrelated to the color of the candle body. There is also the option to display a moving average of the spread percent at your desired length which is a representation of volatility over time.
This is not only helpful for historical analysis over time, but this can also be a time saver if you are trying to calculate the measured distance of a move. Save clicks - no more needing to use the measuring tool.

- Measure Candle Body Only? - No
- Highlight Thresholds? - Yes
- Thresholds Based on Moving Averages? - Yes
