Daily Percent Change as a Simple Overbought or Oversold Signal

Summary

The indicator reports the current day’s price change as a percentage, measured from the daily candle’s opening price to the current price. It displays the value in the main chart window near the price information, giving traders a quick view of how far price has moved during the session.

The document suggests using this reading as a possible indication of overbought or oversold conditions, but it provides no thresholds, examples, or rules for acting on the signal. The calculation uses only the current price and the daily open, with no external inputs. As presented, it is a basic descriptive measure of intraday movement rather than a tested trading strategy; a percentage move alone does not establish whether price is overbought or oversold or predict its next direction.
