Range Bars for MetaTrader 5 is a unique tool for conducting technical analysis directly on the charts, as the indicator is an overlay on the main chart and range bars are calculated using real tick data. The trader can place and modify orders directly on the range bar chart (even with the use of one-click trading).
Apart from range candles, the indicator also includes the most commonly used technical studies which are 3 moving averages (Simple, Exponential, Smooth, Linear-weighted, Volume-weighted using tick volume or real volume), that can be customized according to the user's needs.
Several channel types can also be displayed directly on the range bar charts. These include Donchian Channel, Bollinger Bands and Super Trend.
