Narrow Range (NR) IndicatorNarrow Range (NR) trading strategy is a breakout-based method that assumes that the price of security trends up or down after a brief consolidation in a narrow range. This indicator can plot:
1. Narrow Range (NR) 4, 7, and 21
2. Narrow Range (NR) 4, 7, and 21 + Inside Bars (IB)
NR 4/NR 7/NR 21 day acts as a confirming factor on where the price will move further. Breakout of NR 4/NR 7/NR 21 candle with high volumes indicates bullishness, while the breakdown candle indicates bearishness.
Narrow-range
NR(X) IndicatorNarrow Range Indicator can help determine when a possible Break Out can occur through narrowing price action.
The diamonds above the bar shows the bar to completed the Narrowest Range (high - low) of your selected time period. The default period is 7 but can be changed through the inputs. The next bar will indicate with a label weather it is a predicted Break UP (Green label) or Break Down (Red label).
The original creator of this style of indicator (thepatternsite.com) even admits the accuracy is only around 50%. To help increase those odds I combined his original work with an ATR(x) to help guesstimate the direction of breakout based on overall trend direction.
Narrow Range + Inside Day, Long Only Strategy (by ChartArt)This long only strategy determines when there is both a NR7 (narrow range 7, a trading day in which the range is narrower than any of the previous six days), plus a inside day (high of the current day is lower than the high of the previous day and the low of the current day is higher than the low of the previous day) both on the same trading day and enters a long trade when the close is larger than the open and the slope of the simple moving average is upwards, too.
The strategy closes the long trade next time the daily close is larger than the open in any of the next trading days. In addition the NR7ID can be colored (the color is green when the close is larger that day than the open, else the color is red) and the SMA can be drawn with a color based on the direction of the SMA slope. To fine-tune the strategy it is highly recommended to change the period length of the SMA, which determines if the measured SMA slope is upwards or not.
