What is ADR?
Average Daily Range shows how far a market usually travels in a day and how much of that range has been used today. Intraday traders use it to size targets and to avoid chasing moves that are already extended.
ADR formula
| Output | Calculation |
|---|---|
| ADR | Average of (daily high − daily low) over the period |
| Range used | Current day range ÷ ADR × 100 |
How to read ADR in your code
| Signal | Meaning | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Typical move | Expected daily range in price | value |
| Relative size | Range as a percentage of price | valuePercent |
| Extended day | Most of the usual range is used | rangeUsedPercent near or above 100 |
Limitations: It is a historical average. News or macro events can blow through it. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
Compare the last two closed ADR values
Use backtrack=1 to skip the candle still forming, and results=2 to compare the last two closed candles. Arrays run oldest first.

)
data = resp.json()
prev, last = data['value']
print('value', prev, '->', last)
print('rising' if last > prev else 'falling or flat')Get historical ADR values

}ADR API FAQ
What does the ADR API return?
It returns value, valuePercent, currentRange, rangeUsedPercent, plus a timestamp for the request. Results are JSON.
Is the latest ADR value final?
No. The newest value belongs to the candle still forming and can change until it closes. Add backtrack=1 to read the last closed candle.
Which ADR settings can I change?
You can set period. See the parameters table above for defaults.
Can I get ADR for US stocks?
Yes. Use exchange=stocks with a ticker such as AAPL. US stocks are included on the Pro plan and above.
