Range bars
Bars that each cover exactly the same price range from low to high, however long that takes.
La idea en pocas palabras
A range bar closes as soon as its high–low reaches the set range, and the next one starts. Quiet markets make few bars and busy ones many, so each bar carries the same amount of movement.
Cómo se calcula
Built here from the candles of the timeframe on screen, following open → low → high → close (or open → high → low → close for falling candles). Range: automatic (ATR 14, rounded) or your own value.
A bar ends when high − low = range; the next bar opens at that priceCómo usarlo

- Volume-like reading: many bars in a short time = activity.
Sacar conclusiones
- Bars always have the same height; the last one is still forming.
Ejemplo
