Normalized High-Low Value Chart for Short-Term Price Extremes

Summary

This document describes a value chart indicator that plots normalized highs and lows rather than full OHLC candles. It calculates a recent range from summed highs and lows over a configurable depth, derives a central axis and volatility unit from those sums, and expresses the current high and low relative to that scale. Configurable overbought and oversold bands are intended to flag relative price extremes over short time horizons. The example settings use a depth of five and bands at plus or minus six and eight.

The source says the indicator is used in scalping and short-term binary options, but provides no backtest, trade rules, or evidence of effectiveness. The threshold crossings therefore serve as candidate signals or visual context, not validated entry or exit instructions. Values depend on the selected period and bands, and the calculation’s scaling and behavior across instruments or changing volatility are not assessed in the document.

Key ideas

• The indicator rescales recent highs and lows around an axis derived from rolling high and low sums.
• It uses configurable thresholds to mark relative overbought and oversold extremes.
• The example parameters include a depth of five and bands at plus or minus six and eight.
• The document gives no test results or complete trading rules to establish signal quality.
