Read momentum the way the market actually moves.

Range Shift re-scales every price move by the market's own range — so a strong reading means the same thing in a sleepy session and a violent one. One oscillator, calibrated to volatility, with clean threshold markers. It's in the final stage of our build-and-parity process — here's a preview of what's coming.

The problem

A "+50" momentum reading means nothing if you don't know the weather.

Raw momentum indicators measure price change in points. But fifty points is a yawn in a fast session and a stampede in a quiet one. The same number flips between meaningless and urgent depending on volatility you're eyeballing separately — so you second-guess every signal, re-tune settings per symbol, and still get whipsawed when conditions shift.

You don't need another oscillator that ignores context. You need one that already knows the weather.

The mechanism

Momentum, divided by the market's own range.

Range Shift answers one question in a session-proof way: how big is this move, relative to how big moves have actually been lately?

How it's calculated

It takes the change in price over your chosen lookback (the momentum), then divides it by a simple average of the recent true range — the market's own measure of how far it travels per bar. The result is momentum expressed in range units, not points.

A reading of +1 means "this move is about one typical range." That sentence stays true whether the instrument is calm or wild — which is exactly why a fixed threshold finally behaves consistently across sessions and symbols.

Note: the range average is a simple average of true range, chosen deliberately for stable, transparent scaling.

What you see on the chart

A single clean oscillator in its own window, crossing a zero line, with a marker each time it crosses your threshold up or down. No clutter, no repaint, no twelve overlapping lines — just momentum-in-context and the moments it shifts.

The proof

Built like an instrument, proven before release.

Range Shift isn't "whatever compiled." Every StratusQuant release must clear a value-by-value parity gate — the MetaTrader 5 build compared against an independent reference across history and required to match it bar-for-bar, including every threshold-cross marker — before it ships.

Why "proven bar-for-bar" matters

Plenty of indicators look right and compute something subtly different from what they claim — a wrong averaging method, an off-by-one bar, a look-ahead leak. StratusQuant's release gate is a value-by-value parity check against a reference: matching the reference, not just compiling cleanly, is the definition of done.

Each release is also validated across multiple symbols and timeframes before it ships, so it behaves the same wherever you load it.

Questions

Range Shift, answered.

What platform does Range Shift run on?
Range Shift is a native MetaTrader 5 indicator. After purchase you receive an .ex5 file that you drop into your terminal's MQL5/Indicators folder and refresh the Navigator. It does not run on MetaTrader 4.
What does Range Shift actually measure?
It measures momentum — the change in price over a lookback — and divides it by the market's recent average range. That normalization means a reading of, say, +1 represents the same strength of move whether the session is quiet or volatile, so thresholds stay meaningful over time.
How do I install it?
Open MetaTrader 5, choose File → Open Data Folder, place the .ex5 in MQL5/Indicators, then right-click Navigator and choose Refresh. Drag Range Shift onto any chart. A plain-English setup guide is included with your download.
Is this investment advice or a profit guarantee?
No. Range Shift is an analysis tool, not advice, not a signal service, and not a promise of profit. Trading carries substantial risk of loss. You make your own decisions; the indicator only helps you see momentum relative to volatility more clearly.
What is the refund policy?
Because Range Shift is a digital product delivered immediately, all sales are final once your download is delivered, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If a download or installation problem prevents you from using it, contact support and we will make it right.
How long do I have access, and do updates cost extra?
Range Shift is a one-time purchase with Long-Term Access and all future updates of the indicator included — no subscription and no recurring fees. You receive new builds of the tool as they are released over its supported lifecycle.
