Center of Gravity Timing: Price Distance Normalized by Recent Range

Summary

This version of the Center of Gravity Timing indicator expresses each candle’s open, high, low, and close as distances from a recent average median price. Each distance is divided by the average high-low range over the same lookback, with the range scaled by five. This normalization produces an oscillator-like representation of price location relative to its recent center and movement range.

The indicator also plots fixed positive and negative reference levels to help frame the normalized values. Its description supplies the calculation method and default settings, but no entry or exit rules, backtest, or evidence that the thresholds are predictive. Users therefore need to evaluate how the levels behave on their chosen market and timeframe, including sensitivity to the selected lookback and the possibility of division by a zero range.

Key ideas

• The indicator centers candle prices around the recent average median price.
• It scales those distances by the recent average candle range divided by five.
• Open, high, low, and close are all represented in normalized form.
• Fixed positive and negative levels provide visual reference bands.
• No trading performance or signal validation is presented.
