This indicator implements the "Quarters Theory" - a technical analysis concept that divides price movement into four quarters around a central base level. It's designed to work with multiple asset types (Forex, stocks, commodities, etc.) and provides visual quarter levels on the chart.
Quarters Theory Concept:
-
Base Level: Central reference price
-
Quarter 1: Price range from Base to Base + Quarter Range
-
Quarter 2: Price range from Base + Quarter Range to Base + 2*Quarter Range
-
Quarter 3: Price range from Base - Quarter Range to Base
-
Quarter 4: Price range from Base - 2*Quarter Range to Base - Quarter Rang
