NT8 range indicator

[TechDayTrader]

Can anyone please help? I have searched the web without success to find a simple paid or free range indicator for NT8. I do NOT want a modified ATR. I need a range indicator for any selected period (number of time or tick bars) that provides a moving measure for the ACTUAL high-low price range for the period as shown in TICKS for futures. NOT the average range per bar, or any other average measure.

EXAMPLE: For the last 10-candle (X-number) moving period, if the highest price reaches 100 and the lowest price is 85 (regardless of which of the 10-period bars record these extremes), the indicator would show 15.

Ideally, the indicator would show the moving number in the Data Box, but if there is an oscillator that shows a tick scale, that's OK also.

More advanced, an option would be to show the high-low range for the OPENING and CLOSING prices for the range rather than the high-low wicks. But I'd settle for anything similar. I do not do coding, so pure script alone will not help me. This seems like a simple indicator--to measure the moving total price range for a designated period--but I can't find anything. Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide.

To sidlercom80: Thank you sincerely for responding to my posted need for a range indicator. Please forgive my lack of experience. I went to the link you provided to the discord channel. I did not find a clear link on the page to the indicator you referenced. However, in the search box in the upper right-hand corner, I put in "SidiOpenrange" and then "SidiOpenrange indicator." The searches did not find a match. I then went to the Sidi Trading menu on the upper left-hand corner of the page. I followed this search string: Sidi Trading menu > App Directory > Search box > SidiOpenrange indicator. I also tried other search terms. Again, the search return showed no matches. Could you please give me further instructions where to find the download link? I would like to try your recommendation. Thank you again!
