Daily Range Indicator – Text Overwrite at each Change of Bar
-
For the Indicator code below, at each new bar the text showing % of ADR prints on top of the previous entry and so it quickly gets like a blob of paint and is illegible! 🙂 See attached for 1 print over.
Is there a fix for this please?
(An aside:
why are there no tooltips showing when I hover the icons in the above toolbar? I hope I have picked the correct icon for insert PRT code?? hahah I did pick the correct icon, but tooltips would be useful)

ss1 at 27% ADR at 5 secTF and ss2 at 5min TF are only seconds apart and price had not moved that much.
Surely % ADR should be independent of chart timeframe Today as ADR is based on:
MyADR = ROUND(Average[ADRPeriod](DHigh(1) - DLow(1)))Fixed code below if you want to try it anybody.
I’ve found it useful during my manual trading knowing where current price is relative to the High and Low of Today.
The % ADR label helps also as there is often a reversal when price approaches 100% ADR.
As you can see from attached on 1 Hour TF … US30 raced past 100% ADR and is in the early stages of a pullback (let’s see? 🙂 ).
