Price Stats

Introduction

Price Stats is an indicator based on the statistics shown in MarketSmith charting software when viewing the Track Price information, also known as the "yellow box."

The following stats are available for the most recent price bar:

■ High price
■ Low price
■ Last price
■ Percent change in price from prior bar
■ Closing range within the bar
■ Current volume
■ Volume % change relative to the 50-day moving average volume

For daily charts:
■ 21-day EMA and % offset of price
■ 50-day SMA and % offset of price
■ 200-day SMA and % offset of price

Here's how to interpret the moving averages:

In the image below the 50-day SMA is 74.58 (8.04%). 74.58 represents the value of the 50-day SMA. 8.04% indicates that the current price is 8.04% above the SMA. A negative % would indicate the current price is the specified % below the SMA.

Knowing the distance to the low can help when setting a stop. For example, if buying an upside reversal, a logical stop could be set at the low of the bar. At a glance, you can now see the percentage and distance in points from the current price to the low. This allows for a quick determination if low is within your preferred stop range.
