Definitions
In plain terms
It explains whether the intrabar span, the high gap, or the low gap was largest.
Technical
A reproducible driver requires the same three full-precision candidates and an explicit deterministic policy for exact ties.
Scope
The driver is diagnostic metadata and does not provide a bullish or bearish forecast.
Examples
- A reviewer traces True Range Driver from aligned inputs through its first-ready row and edge cases before accepting a displayed value.
Common misconceptions
- The driver is diagnostic metadata and does not provide a bullish or bearish forecast.
Concept relationships
Where this concept is used
Evidence and governance
- True Range TA-Lib · first party technical publication
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition
Limits: TA-Lib leaves the first row unavailable; the local D07 contract explicitly uses a high-low fallback.
- TA-Lib True Range Reference Implementation TA-Lib · first party technical publication
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition
Limits: Library control flow does not prescribe the local diagnostic driver label or its author-defined tie priority.
