Price Range & Distribution

Intrabar high-low price range and full distribution statistics (mean, median, std, skewness, kurtosis) for trade prices within each interval.

CodeAPI DocsTry It

range_bps

Range (bps)

Range in basis points expresses the bar high-low spread in a way that is directly comparable across symbols and price levels.

That normalization makes it much more actionable than a raw absolute range when you are screening for unusually active intervals.

price_std

Price Std Dev

Price Std Dev measures how dispersed transaction prices were around the mean within the interval.

Unlike the simple high-low range, it tells you whether activity was broadly scattered or concentrated near a central level.

price_skewness

Price Skewness

Price Skewness captures whether the distribution of trade prices leaned toward the upper or lower tail of the interval.

Positive skew often means occasional bursts to the upside, while negative skew suggests the heavier excursions were downward.

price_kurtosis

Price Kurtosis

Price Kurtosis highlights whether price observations were tightly clustered with a few extreme prints or more evenly spread out.

Elevated kurtosis is often a clue that the interval contained bursts, tails, or jump-like behavior despite a modest average move.

price_cv

Price CV

Price CV scales standard deviation by the mean price, creating a relative dispersion measure.

It is especially helpful when comparing instruments with very different nominal prices or when monitoring how variability changes through time.

A candlestick reduces thousands of trades to four numbers: open, high, low, close. This compression discards the path — and the path contains information that the endpoints don't.

INVESTMENT RISKS

There are risks associated with investing in securities. Investing in stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, and money market funds involve risk of loss. Loss of principal is possible. Some high risk investments may use leverage, which will accentuate gains & losses. Foreign investing involves special risks, including a greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. A security's or a firm's past investment performance is not a guarantee or predictor of future investment performance.
