As requested, I wrote this simple indicator. It’s basically very similar to the Tick Volume. It shows the difference between the Open / Close and High / Low values for a, period. I have add additional algorithm What adds double the length of Wicks to Open / Close difference.
As a Option this indicator provides audio and Email Alerts.

Thanks very kindly for writing this indicator. I think this simple indicator can be very useful for quickly showing the size of a candlestick in pips and the frequencyin which it reaches a given level of pips. For example, on the 4-hour chart I have this indicator on plus I draw a horizontal line at the 50 pip level. This quickly shows the frequencyof which 4 hour bars are greater than 50 pips.
Any other thoughts on building on this simple indicator?

Hello Apprentice, how are you?
May I request the option to display the moving average of the bar heights for X period back? That is the average pips per bar looking back at a chosen # of bars.
Thanks.

This is an excellent tool for reviewing what has happened in the forex market. It allows one to quickly see how frequently bars on a chosen time line reaches a given level of pips and how long it may take to achieve a given level of pips on average.
Could you please add an option to draw at least 2 horizontal lines at chosen pip levels. See attached.
Thanks.

It could be lighter if you could allow setting for just 1 or 3 days. The chart would be nicer and neater.I usuallay trading 1h time frame. Tk

Can you make these indicators only marking label candlestick body, for example in H1 time frame only marks body candlestick minimum of 30.0 pips, in H4 time frame minimum 70.0 pips and in daily time frame minimum 120.0 pips. Below this setting would not be labeled.

Bar Height Overlay Added.

If possible an addition to the first version to be added which is the following: based on previous bar range (for example 30 pips) and where the price has closed its measured what is the bar. If close is in the upper half strongly then its colour green, if close is in the lower half then its colour red.
Example: price open is 50.55, price low is 50.50 and close is 50.70, with a high of 50.80. Range is 30 pips, low is 50.50 so if close is below 50.65 then its red and as close is higher then 50.65 (its 50.70) then its green. So in the up example bar should be green based on close only. There can be some variable of few pips in the middle where its neutral.
