Ranking Currency Pairs by Intraday Price Range or Change
Summary
This indicator ranks visible currency pairs by a selected measure of current price movement. The user can choose either the distance from the opening price or the high-to-low range; the tool calculates the selected value for pairs listed in the platform’s Market Watch and sorts the results in ascending or descending order. Selecting a displayed pair opens its chart, making the ranking a navigation aid for comparing activity across instruments.
The number of displayed buttons is configurable, and removing a pair from Market Watch excludes it from calculation. The documentation notes that changing sort direction may respond slowly because of the calculation’s workload, and the implementation supports no more than 50 pairs. It describes a monitoring utility rather than a tested trading strategy: it gives no thresholds, signals, historical evaluation, or evidence that larger ranges or price changes predict future returns.
Key ideas
- The tool compares currency pairs using either open-to-current movement or the high-low range.
- It sorts the calculated values in ascending or descending order.
- Only pairs visible in Market Watch are included in the ranking.
- Displayed pair buttons open charts for the corresponding symbols.
- The documentation warns of delayed sorting responses and a 50-pair calculation limit.
