Intraday Spark Chart [AstrideUnicorn]

The Intraday Spark Chart (ISC) is a minimalist yet powerful tool designed to track an asset’s performance relative to its daily opening price. Inspired by Nasdaq's trading-floor analog dashboards, it visualizes intraday percentage changes as a color-coded sparkline, helping traders quickly gauge momentum and session bias.

Ideal for: Day trading, scalping, and multi-asset monitoring.
Best paired with: 1m to 4H timeframes (auto-warns on higher TFs).

Key metrics:

• Real-time % change from daily open.
  
• Final daily % change (updated at session close).
  
• Daily open price labels for orientation.
  

HOW TO USE

Visual Guide

Sparkline Plot:
A green area/line indicates price is above the daily open (bullish).
A red area/line signals price is below the daily open (bearish).
The baseline (0%) represents the daily open price.

Session Markers:
The dotted vertical lines separate trading days.
Gray labels near the baseline show the exact daily open price at the start of each session.

Dynamic Labels:
The labels in the upper left corner of each session range display the current (or final) daily % change. Color matches the trend (green/red) for instant readability.

Practical Use Cases

• Opening Range Breakouts: Spot early momentum by observing how price reacts to the daily open.
  
• Multi-Asset Screening: Compare intraday strength across symbols by choosing an asset in the indicator settings panel.
  
• Session Close Prep: Anticipate daily settlement by tracking the final % change (useful for futures/swing traders).
  

SETTINGS

Asset (Input Symbol): Defaults to the current chart symbol. Choose any asset to monitor its price action without switching charts - ideal for intermarket analysis or correlation tracking.
