What it does
Reports 0–100 for how close the source is to the top (100) or bottom (0) of the recent range.
What happens
Recomputed once per candle from its wired source, incrementally (constant work per bar). It emits no value until the warmup period has passed; after that it produces a value every bar.
When to use
Overbought/oversold reads in ranging markets (>80 / <20).
Gotchas
- The high/low come from chart candles, not your wired source.
-
80 is not a sell signal in a strong uptrend — it can stay pinned.
