The
Average Daily Range
shows the dynamic levels of
average pip range
on a pair measured based on the daily Highs and Lows over a certain periods.
You can use the ADR to visualize
potential price action
outside the average daily move. When ADR is above average, it means that the
daily volatility is higher
than usual.
The ADR can be helpful in setting targets for positions. If the ADR shows you that a pair has an average daily range of 80 pips, then it might
be wise to tighten up your target in this range.
ADR Marker is also useful for trading intraday reversals. If a currency pair reaches the top of a daily range, then it could be due for a
reversal, and you could capture a potential retracement.
