Having an indicator that calculates the range of high and low prices within a specific time frame is extremely valuable for measuring volatility, particularly when assessing the performance of distinct trading sessions such as the New York or London sessions. This type of indicator allows traders to accurately capture the price movements within these defined periods, providing insights into the market dynamics specific to these sessions. For instance, knowing the range of the New York session can help traders understand the volatility and potential price fluctuations that typically occur during this time, which can be crucial for making informed trading decisions. Similarly, the London session range can reveal the market’s behavior during one of the most active trading periods, aiding in the identification of optimal entry and exit points. By quantifying the volatility within these sessions, traders can better manage risk, optimize their strategies, and improve their overall trading performance.
