Range Movement

Range Movement is an indicator I created to help me determine a few things:
1. the mood of the market makers and market participants
2. the price trend

What I found after creating the indicator is that it is extremely helpful in finding "EXTREME SENTIMENT" when this line has moved up dramatically and price has too, but then RgMov diverges and signals a weakening support for the stock. When Range Movement surges it reveals extreme optimism and powerful upward movement in price, which can draw in momentum investors and create a blow-off peak in price. So in this instance, RgMov is an overbought, oversold indicator.

What I also found is that when a stock is stuck in a range for a long time that RgMov will breakout FIRST to give an early indicator of the future price move to follow. This can be true for rallies or declines.

In the example I show $TSLA Tesla shares which broke out in RgMov well ahead of the stock price in October 2019. See example on chart.

What is RgMov or Range Movement?
Range Movement, aka "RgMov" is derived from open-high-low-close price data. If the market has moved up more than it has moved down during a given bar, the line will move up. Tracking the cumulative movement of the line over time creates the pattern.

You can use RgMov in many ways. Here's how I created it to be used for the daily trend in any stock or index:
Uptrend = New high over 44 days
Downtrend = New low over 44 days

As long as the trend is up on the 44-day time frame, I use shorter term (11-days, for example) oversold conditions as entry points to buy and go with the uptrend.

If the trend turns down, then I use shorter term (11-days, for example again) overbought readings to go short to trade with the downtrend.
