Average Daily Range (ADR)
Also called: ADR
The average percent a stock moves from high to low in a day — a quick read on how much room a name gives intraday.
ADR averages the daily high-low range, usually expressed as a percent of price, over a lookback (commonly 20 days). A 6% ADR stock typically travels three times as far in a session as a 2% one. Momentum and day traders favor higher-ADR names because they offer enough movement to hit targets quickly.
ADR is a close cousin of ATR (which is in price terms); both scale stops and targets to a stock's normal motion. A name compressing well below its ADR can signal a coil before expansion.
