Why Track Daily Range (ADR)?

Average Daily Range (ADR) is the average high-low range over a set of trading days. This scanner compares today's high-low range with a 14-day ADR baseline.

If a pair's ADR is 100 pips and today's range is 30 pips, its ADR fill is 30%. A 150-pip range gives 150% ADR fill. Exceeding 100% means today's range exceeds that average; it does not predict a reversal or set a maximum daily move.

How to Read the Scanner

  • ADR fill: Today's high-low range divided by the 14-day ADR, multiplied by 100.
  • Breakout: At least 100% ADR fill. This label describes range expansion, not a confirmed price-level breakout or an entry signal.
  • Active: The filter includes 70% to below 100% ADR fill. Readings from 90% to below 100% use the high-fill color.
  • Quiet: Below 40% ADR fill. The badge and filter use the same threshold.
  • Largest moves: Sorts by the size of the percentage change from the daily open, including gains and losses.

Check Session Context

The same ADR fill can have different context early or late in the trading day. Use the forex market-hours clock to check session times and overlaps in your selected timezone, including daylight-saving changes.

Before interpreting a range reading:
  • Check which sessions are open and whether a scheduled event is approaching.
  • Compare the range with trend, price structure, and current spread.
  • Treat an increase in ADR fill as context; the scanner does not determine trade direction.

ADR Is a Baseline, Not a Limit

A pair can continue beyond 100% or 120% ADR fill. A reading alone does not establish the probability of a pullback, continuation, or reversal.

Read the distance correctly:

"Below ADR by 20%" describes the gap to the average, not how much price can still move. See the ADR states and methodology for the calculation and its limits.
