What is a Range Chart?

A Range chart is a type of chart that is entirely based on a range of pip movements and not on time. That means that a bar is plotted only if a pre-specified range of pips is achieved no matter if that range is achieved in a few minutes or in a few hours. That price movement is calculated between the high and the low and each bar is closing either at high or low.

The Range Charts were developed in the mid-90ss by Vicente M. Nicolellis, a Brazilian trader.
