An estimate by Mark Fisher about the value area (pivot range) is plus or 
minus the range abs((H+L+C)/3 - (H+L)/2) from the average price 
(H+L+C)/3. He claims accuracy of 98%.

The following code plots a chart similar to Prostick.

// Calculate the pivot range
PivotBand = abs(Avg - (H+L)/2);
VaH = Avg + PivotBand;
VaL = Avg - PivotBand;

Plot(C, "C", colorLightGrey,styleBar);                         
PlotOHLC( VaL, VaH, VaL, VaH, "Pivot range", colorBlue, styleCandle);
