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 real-time analytics analog dashboards. It visualizes intraday percentage changes as a color-coded sparkline, helping traders quickly gauge momentum and session bias.
Ideal for: Day traders, scalpers, and multi-asset monitors.
Best paired with: 1m to 4H timeframes (auto-warns on higher TFs).

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.
