Simple script to plot the Midpoint between the High and Low of day for intraday trading. This is a key level that is respected quite often. Very easy to trade bounces or breakthroughs.
A dynamic intraday midpoint for Day Timeframe trader reference.
Midpoint is halfway between the day's highest high and lowest low.
Midpoint resets daily.
Here is a new experimental indicator we've been working on. The idea was to compare two EMA's of period midpoints to the actual closing price. The steps that were taken are listed below:
1.Calculate an EMA based on each period's midpoint ((High * Low) /2) for the last 9 periods.
2.Calculate an EMA based on each period's midpoint for the last 100 periods.
3....
A moving indicator that is overlaid main chart. Identifies the start of the day, and then applies this formula:
( Current High of Day + Current Low of Day ) / 2, to get the mid point. It is a useful tool to identify buy side or sell side control, along with vwap.
The script made for research purposes which plots these statistics of a given window: Mid-range (max + min)/2, Lower midpoint (mid-range + min)/2, and Higher midpoint (mid-range + max)/2.
This could be interesting when checking periods with sample size <= 0, or checking distros with srs kurtosis values.
Mean & median are also there.
The Midpoint Oscillator was created by Tushar Chande Ph.D. (Stocks & Commodities V. 9:11 (431-434)) and it does a great job of tracking extreme changes in the price. Buy when the line is green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if you would like me to write more scripts!
