Typical Price Indicator Ctrader

Description

The Typical Price Indicator (TPI) shows you daily and weekly Typical Price areas by drawing 3 horizontal lines. Price reactions to these 3 areas are very important and all professional traders pay close attention to them.

This indicator measures the average High, Low and Closing prices of the previous day and last week using a simple, single-line chart.

The formula of Typical Price = ( High Price + Low Price + Close Price ) / 3 or popularly known as HLC/3.

  • TPI is commonly used by traders to determine the support and resistance levels.
  • This indicator only draws the previous day's TPI linearly for you, and to avoid cluttering the chart, the values of previous days are avoided.

With a simple search on the Internet, you can find out the importance of this line and find various trading strategies with TPI
