Typical price

What does Typical price measure?

One representative price for the candle. Several indicators — CCI, money flow, VWAP — are built on it rather than on the close.

How is Typical price calculated?

Add the high, the low and the close, and divide by three.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Typical price in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type typical_price. Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
