What this MT5 indicator does

- Shows today’s range as a percentage of that ADR.
- Displays ATR from the selected timeframe and period using its last closed bar.

Limitations and failure conditions
- ADR is not a hard boundary; a day can move far beyond its historical average.
- Broker daily boundaries and holiday bars affect the sample.
- Values are price units, not universally interchangeable pips or cash risk.
Install in MetaTrader 5
- Extract the ZIP and read its README before attaching any file.
- In MT5, choose File → Open Data Folder. Copy the MQ5, EX5 and TFCommon.mqh files together into MQL5/Indicators/TradeForex.
- Refresh Navigator and attach the indicator to a chart in an isolated demo or tester. Review its inputs and data requirements.
- Use one instance per chart. Reattach after changing accounts; retain the documented state files and settings when testing restarts.
No broker password, web API key or DLL permission is required by this package.
Acceptance checks before relying on it
The following checklist is pending. It is not a report of passed runtime tests.
- Manually average several completed daily ranges and compare the output.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tool work in MT4?
No. This package contains MQL5 source and an EX5 build for MetaTrader 5 desktop. MT4 requires a different codebase; mobile and web charts do not run this desktop file.
What has been tested?
MetaEditor build 6180 compiled the supplied release with zero errors and zero warnings. The runtime acceptance checklist, backtests and forward tests are still pending.
Does this indicator place orders?
No. It displays calculated chart context. Check its data inputs and compare its values independently before relying on the display.
