Price Range Screener: Compare Range Width and Price Location

What this tool helps you investigate

Use the price range screener to compare where stocks trade inside several historical high-low windows and how those windows widen or contract. The workspace shows daily through longer-term ranges in one row.

Price location and range width are different measures. A stock can sit near the top of a narrow weekly range while remaining near the bottom of its much wider yearly range.

1. Current price. The latest quote and daily change are distinct from the longer-window ranges.
2. Recent candles. The compact chart provides price-and-volume context for the row.
3. Range location. The dot shows where price sits between the selected window low and high.
4. Range width. The W label describes width; it is different from the position of the dot.

How to use Price range screener

1. Choose the stock universe and any available filters.
2. Read the current price and recent candle context for a candidate.
3. Compare low, current price and high within each labelled window.
4. Use range-state classifications to find compression or expansion, then verify the history on a full chart.

Understand the measurements

A worked example

For a window low of 100 and high of 120, a price of 115 lies 75% of the way from low to high: (115 − 100) ÷ (120 − 100). This is a range location, not a 75% price return.

Checks before drawing a conclusion

• Read the window labels; the tool uses session counts for many periods.
• Corporate actions and outlier bars can affect historical extremes.
• A compressed range describes past movement and does not establish the direction of the next expansion.
