Gold Daily Range – Daily High Low and Range Informer for MetaTrader 5

Gold Daily Range is a utility tool for MetaTrader 5 that displays the current daily high, daily low, and total price range directly on the chart.

The tool helps traders understand how much the market has moved during the day and evaluate whether the current price is still within a tradable range or already extended.

It is designed for discretionary traders who rely on intraday context, especially when trading gold (XAUUSD).

Main Functions

Gold Daily Range provides real-time monitoring of daily price movement.

Main functions include:

• automatic detection of daily high and daily low
• calculation of current daily range based on price movement
• normalized range display in price units (not raw points)
• classification of market condition (early, normal, extended)
• optional alert when key range conditions are reached
• horizontal lines marking daily high and low levels

These functions allow traders to quickly assess market conditions without manual calculation.

Range Monitoring Logic

The tool calculates the range using the current daily candle:

• Daily High
• Daily Low
• Range = High − Low

The result is displayed as a price movement value, making it easier to interpret compared to raw point values.

In addition, the tool classifies the current market state based on predefined thresholds:

• early range
• normal range
• extended range

This classification provides a quick reference for evaluating whether the market is still developing or already stretched.

Alert Behavior

Gold Daily Range includes a controlled alert system for important conditions.

The alert system:

• triggers when specific range conditions are reached
• uses one-time alerts per condition to avoid repetition
• resets automatically when a new trading day begins

This ensures that alerts remain informative without causing excessive notifications.

Visual Interface

The tool displays information in a compact panel on the chart.

Displayed data includes:

• current daily range
• market condition status
• daily high price
• daily low price

Horizontal lines are drawn at the high and low levels to provide visual reference for price boundaries.

The interface is designed to remain readable while minimizing interference with chart analysis.

Gold Trading (XAUUSD)

Gold Daily Range is particularly useful for trading gold (XAUUSD), where daily volatility plays an important role in decision making.

Typical use cases include:

• identifying early-stage trading opportunities
• avoiding entries when the range is already extended
• evaluating breakout or mean reversion conditions
• session-based intraday trading

The tool can also be used with other instruments supported by MetaTrader 5.
