How to calculate ADR (Average Daily Range)



It may be easiest to use an excel spread sheet for this.
Take the H/L for each day. for the past 14 days.
For each day list the amount of points's between the H and L




Ex. H=1.5623 L=1.5586
5623-5586 = 137
Add the total amount of point's for all 14 days and divide it by 14.
This will give you the average daily range
