What OHLC-based movement distance results from range, gap and candle body?
Combines twice the high-low range with the gap from previous close to open, minus the absolute candle body.
One dataset, the same parameters and the same candle for application and explanation.

11 Sept 2026, 15:00 — 11 Oct 2026, 15:00 UTC · 720 evaluation candles · 3000 earlier candles for warm-up only. Your opened snapshot stays fixed. A visit can refresh a stale cache in the background for later visitors; fetching fresh is not a tick stream.
Parameters and precise application
Volatility and position risk
Inspect the actual value at each confirmed candle. This analysis produces no buy or sell orders.
Shared capital and cost model
Includes the buy fee; the remainder stays in cash.
One adverse markup/markdown. Do not add spread a second time.
Preparing the calculation module. The shared market snapshot is already available.
Calculation and interpretation of the same candle
The quantity is a price-distance proxy in USDC; using it as a risk scale must be stated as a separate assumption.
2(H−L)+|O−Cprev|−|C−O|
Price-distance estimate using the previous close; exact zero ranges/bodies stay zero. First point unavailable.
OHLC data cannot reconstruct an actual tick path. The formula is neither ATR nor an upper bound on future movement.

The sources support definitions and methodological limits. They do not establish profit for this specific BTCUSDC rule. This analysis is descriptive; parameter trials on the same history are not independent out-of-sample evidence. Parity with a deployed unCoded engine is not claimed.
