Open-Close Absolute Difference with Threshold Counts

Key features include:
• Timeframe Flexibility: Utilizes the current chart’s timeframe, whether it’s a 5-minute, hourly, or daily chart.
• Custom Thresholds: Allows you to set up to four custom threshold levels (Thresholds A, B, C, and D) with default values of 10, 15, 25, and 35, respectively.
• Period Customization: Enables you to define the number of bars (N) over which the indicator calculates the counts, with a default of 100 bars.
• Visual Threshold Lines: Plots horizontal dashed lines on the histogram representing each threshold for easy visual reference.
• Dynamic Counting: Counts and displays the number of times the absolute difference is less than or greater than each threshold within the specified period.
• Customizable Table Position: Offers the flexibility to position the results table anywhere on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Bottom Left).
How It Works:
1. Absolute Difference Calculation:
• For each bar on the chart, the indicator calculates the absolute difference between the open and close prices.
• This difference is plotted as a histogram:
• Green Bars: Close price is higher than the open price.
• Red Bars: Close price is lower than the open price.
2. Threshold Comparison and Counting:
• Compares the absolute difference to each of the four thresholds.
• Determines whether the difference is less than or greater than each threshold.
• Utilizes the ta.sum() function to count occurrences over the specified number of bars (N).
3. Results Table:
• Displays a table with three columns:
• Left Column: Counts where the absolute difference is less than the threshold.
• Middle Column: The threshold value.
• Right Column: Counts where the absolute difference is greater than the threshold.
• The table updates dynamically and can be positioned anywhere on the chart according to your preference.
4. Threshold Lines on Histogram:
• Plots horizontal dashed lines at each threshold level.
• Each line is color-coded for distinction:
• Threshold A: Yellow
• Threshold B: Orange
• Threshold C: Purple
• Threshold D: Blue
How to Use:
1. Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
• Open the Pine Editor on TradingView.
• Copy and paste the provided code into the editor.
• Click “Add to Chart.”
2. Configure Settings:
• Number of Bars (N):
• Set the period over which you want to calculate the counts (default is 100).
• Thresholds A, B, C, D:
• Input your desired threshold values (defaults are 10, 15, 25, 35).
• Table Position:
• Choose where you want the results table to appear on the chart:
• Options include “Top Left,” “Top Center,” “Top Right,” “Bottom Left,” “Bottom Center,” “Bottom Right.”
3. Interpret the Histogram:
• Observe the absolute differences plotted as a histogram.
• Use the color-coded bars to quickly assess whether the close price was higher or lower than the open price.
4. Analyze the Counts Table:
• Review the counts of occurrences where the absolute difference was less than or greater than each threshold.
• Use this data to gauge volatility and price movement intensity over the specified period.
5. Visual Reference with Threshold Lines:
• Refer to the horizontal dashed lines on the histogram to see how the absolute differences align with your thresholds.
Example Use Case:
Suppose you’re analyzing a 5-minute chart for a particular stock and want to understand its short-term volatility:
• Set the Number of Bars (N) to 50 to analyze the recent 50 bars.
• Adjust Thresholds based on the typical price movements of the stock, e.g., Threshold A: 0.5, Threshold B: 1.0, Threshold C: 1.5, Threshold D: 2.0.
• Position the Table at the “Top Right” for easy viewing.
By doing so, you can:
• Quickly see how often the stock experiences significant price movements within 5-minute intervals.
• Make informed decisions about entry and exit points based on the volatility patterns.
• Customize the thresholds and periods as market conditions change.
Benefits:
• Customizable Analysis: Tailor the indicator to fit various trading styles and timeframes.
• Quick Visualization: Instantly assess market volatility and price movement direction.
• Enhanced Decision-Making: Use the counts and visual cues to make more informed trading decisions.
• User-Friendly Interface: Simple configuration and clear display of information.
Note: Always test the indicator with different settings to find the configuration that best suits your trading strategy. This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive analysis and not as the sole basis for trading decisions.
