Updated Average hourly move by @zeusbottrading
This Pine Script called "Average hourly move by zeusbottrading" calculates and displays the average percentage price movement for each hour of the day using the full available historical data.
How the script works:
It tracks the high and low price within each full hour (e.g., 10:00–10:59).
It calculates the percentage move as the range between high and low relative to the average price during that hour.
For each hour of the day, it stores the total of all recorded moves and the count of occurrences across the full history.
At the end, the script computes the average move for each hour (0 to 23) and determines the minimum and maximum averages.
Using these values, it creates a color gradient, where the hours with the lowest average volatility are red and the highest are green.
It then displays a table in the top-right corner of the chart showing each hour and its average percentage move, color‑coded according to volatility.
What it can be used for:
In short, this script is a useful tool for traders who want to fine‑tune their trading strategies and risk management by analyzing time‑based volatility profiles.
