Price Change Rate (PCR)
Description:
The "Price Change Rate" (PCR) indicator is a customized tool designed to visualize the rate of price change over different periods. The PCR indicator plots three separate lines, each representing a distinct length of time. Each line represents the percentage change in price from the start of its designated period.
Usage:
Setting up the indicator:
To use the PCR indicator, simply add it to your TradingView chart. In the settings panel, you will find three different lengths to input: Length 1, Length 2, Length 3. These lengths represent the periods (in days) over which the price change is calculated. Input your desired lengths for each.
Understanding the output:
The Price Change Rate 1 line (colored in red) represents the rate of price change over the period defined in Length 1.
The Price Change Rate 2 line (colored in green) represents the rate of price change over the period defined in Length 2.
The Price Change Rate 3 line (colored in blue) represents the rate of price change over the period defined in Length 3.
The lines move in accordance with the rate of price change. For example, if the Price Change Rate 1 line is above 0, it means the price has increased in the period defined in Length 1.
Purpose:
The purpose of the PCR indicator is to give a visual representation of how the price of an asset is changing over multiple periods. By comparing the three lines, you can get a sense of the momentum of the price change and potentially identify trends or shifts in market sentiment.
Limitations:
Like all indicators, the PCR should not be used in isolation. Consider combining it with other indicators and tools to improve the accuracy of your analysis.
Remember, historical performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management and ensure your strategies align with your investment goals.
