Hi everyone,

is there any way of highlighting (different color, signal, etc) all the candlesticks where the price moved more than X% or dropped more than y%?

This is feature is/would be quite useful to easy your work when you are stalking 1 minute charts during several hours.

Thanks everyone

The easiest thing would be to add a Custom PCF % True Indicator to the chart. It will spike whenever its Boolean Formula is true.

So if you mean a percent change greater than say 5% between the close of each bar:

100 * ABS(C / C1 - 1) > 5

If you mean the true range is greater than say 5% (using the previosu close as the basis of the percentage).

100 * ATR1 / C1 > 5

If you mean the extreme of range from the previous close is greater than 5%:

100 * GREATEST(ABS(H / C1 - 1), ABS(L / C1 - 1)) > 5

There are lots of other possibilties as to what you might want to use in the Boolean Formula setting of the Custom PCF % True Indicator.
