Calculation
The statistics are not reported from absolute prices (does not favor trending markets) nor percentage prices (does not depict the different periods of ⁣ ⁣volatility⁣⁣ ⁣that markets can go through). Instead, the script uses the prices relative to the average range of previous days (daily ATR).

Extended trading session
The script analyses extended hours when activated on the chart.
