[Spinn] Average True RangeThe "Average True Range" indicator is a popular tool that measures price volatility. In this modified indicator, I present two methods of calculating ATR: the outdated classical one based on RMA (EMA, SMA, WMA), and the modernized one using the Super Smoother filter.
Why has exponential smoothing become outdated?
Exponential smoothing (EMA) has drawbacks, especially when it comes to identifying cyclical components in the data (and RMA is a variant of EMA). EMA creates phase shifts and distortions, making it less predictable and accurate in tracking real price movements. Modern filters, such as Super Smoother, offer a higher degree of adaptability and precision while ensuring significantly less lag, better smoothness, and superior cycle detection.
Why use more contemporary filters like Super Smoother?
The Super Smoother filter combines exponential smoothing and trigonometric functions for more accurate and smooth tracking of price movements. This filter enhances cycle tracking and reduces the lag often found when using EMA. As a result, signals based on Super Smoother are often more precise and representative of real price movements.
Drawbacks of other smoothing filters commonly used with ATR:
SMA. The lag is (N-1)/2, where N = period. This is terrible.
WMA. According to John F. Ehlers, "It appears that the WMA was invented by a trader who did not have a firm grasp of filter theory in hopes of reducing lag". It has been proven that WMA has worse suppression than the equivalent SMA, and WMA has more delay in the passband than the equivalent EMA. In short, WMA has drawbacks but no advantages compared to other popular moving averages.
It is also a good idea to use the median to average the results.
Test, experiment, use!

ATR Adaptive RSI OscillatorThe " ATR Adaptive RSI Oscillator " is a versatile technical analysis tool designed to help traders make informed decisions in dynamic market conditions. It combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Average True Range (ATR) to provide adaptive and responsive insights into price trends.
Key Features :
Adaptive RSI Periods : The indicator introduces the concept of adaptive RSI periods based on the ATR (Average True Range) of the market. When enabled, it dynamically adjusts the RSI calculation period, offering longer periods during high volatility and shorter periods during low volatility. This adaptability enhances the accuracy of RSI signals across varying market conditions.
Volume-Based Smoothing : The indicator includes a smoothing feature that computes a time-decayed weighted moving average of RSI values over the last two bars, using volume-based weights. This approach offers a time-sensitive smoothing effect, reducing noise for a clearer view of trend strength compared to the standard RSI.
Divergence Detection : Traders can enable divergence detection to identify potential reversal points in the market. The indicator highlights regular bullish and bearish divergences, providing valuable insights into market sentiment shifts.
Customizable Parameters : Traders have the flexibility to customize various parameters, including RSI length, adaptive mode, ATR length, and divergence settings, to tailor the indicator to their trading strategy.
Overbought and Oversold Levels : The indicator includes overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) boundary lines that can be adjusted to suit individual preferences. These levels help traders identify potential reversal zones.
The "ATR Adaptive RSI Oscillator" is a powerful tool for traders seeking to adapt their trading strategies to changing market dynamics. Whether you're a trend follower or a contrarian trader, this indicator provides valuable insights to support your decision-making process.
TTP SuperTrend ADXThis indicator uses the strength of the trend from ADX to decide how the SuperTrend (ST) should behave.
Motivation
ST is a great trend following indicator but it's not capable of adapting to the trend strength.
The ADX, Average Directional Index measures the strength of the trend and can be use to dynamically tweak the ST factor so that it's sensitivity can adapt to the trend strength.
Implementation
The indicator calculates a normalised value of the ADX based on the data available in the chart.
Based on these values ST will use different factors to increase or reduce the factor use by ST: expansion or compression.
ST expansion vs compression
Expanding the ST would mean that the stronger a trends get the ST factor will grow causing it to distance further from the price delaying the next ST trend flip.
Compressing the ST would mean that the stronger a trends get the ST factor will shrink causing it to get closer to the price speeding up the next ST trend flip.
Features
- Alerts for trend flip
- Alerts for trend status
- Backtestable stream
- SuperTrend color gets more intense with the strength of the trend
Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage AnalyzerThe Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage Analyzer is a sophisticated tool designed for traders aiming to exploit price deviations between various asset pairs. By examining the differences in normalized price relations and their weighted residuals, this indicator provides insights into potential arbitrage opportunities in the market.
Key Features:
Multiple Relation Analysis: Analyze up to five different asset relations simultaneously, offering a comprehensive view of potential arbitrage setups.
Normalization Functions: Choose from a variety of normalization techniques like SMA, EMA, WMA, and HMA to ensure accurate comparisons between different price series.
Dynamic Weighting: Residuals are weighted based on their correlation, ensuring that stronger correlations have a more pronounced impact on the analysis. Weighting can be adjusted using several functions including square, sigmoid, and logistic.
Regression Flexibility: Incorporate linear, polynomial, or robust regression to calculate residuals, tailoring the analysis to different market conditions.
Customizable Display: Decide which plots to display for clarity and focus, including normalized relations, weighted residuals, and the difference between the screen relation and the average weighted residual.
Usage Guidelines:
Configure the asset pairs you wish to analyze using the Symbol Relations group in the settings.
Adjust the normalization, volatility, regression, and weighting functions based on your preference and the specific characteristics of the asset pairs.
Monitor the weighted residuals for deviations from the mean. Larger deviations suggest stronger arbitrage opportunities.
Use the difference plot (between the screen relation and average weighted residual) as a quick visual cue for potential trade setups. When this plot deviates significantly from zero, it indicates a possible arbitrage opportunity.
Regularly update and adjust the parameters to account for changing market conditions and ensure the most accurate analysis.
In the Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage Analyzer , the value set in Alert Threshold plays a crucial role in delineating a normalized band. This band serves as a guide to identify significant deviations and potential trading opportunities.
When we observe the plots of the green line and the purple line, the Alert Threshold provides a boundary for these plots. The following points explain the significance:
Breach of the Band: When either the green or purple line crosses above or below the Alert Threshold , it indicates a significant deviation from the mean. This breach can be interpreted as a potential trading signal, suggesting a possible arbitrage opportunity.
Convergence to the Mean: If the green line converges with the purple line , it denotes that the price relation has reverted to its mean. This convergence typically suggests that the arbitrage opportunity has been exhausted, and the market dynamics are returning to equilibrium.
Trade Execution: A trader can consider entering a trade when the lines breach the Alert Threshold . The return of the green line to align closely with the purple line can be seen as a signal to exit the trade, capitalizing on the reversion to the mean.
By monitoring these plots in conjunction with the Alert Threshold , traders can gain insights into market imbalances and exploit potential arbitrage opportunities. The convergence and divergence of these lines, relative to the normalized band, serve as valuable visual cues for trade initiation and termination.
When you're analyzing relations between two symbols (for instance, BINANCE:SANDUSDT/BINANCE:NEARUSDT ), you're essentially looking at the price relationship between the two underlying assets. This relationship provides insights into potential imbalances between the assets, which arbitrage traders can exploit.
Breach of the Lower Band: If the purple line touches or crosses below the lower Alert Threshold , it indicates that the first symbol (in our example, SANDUSDT ) is undervalued relative to the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ). In practical terms:
Action: You would consider buying the first symbol ( SANDUSDT ) and selling the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ).
Rationale: The expectation is that the price of the first symbol will rise, or the price of the second symbol will fall, or both, thereby converging back to their historical mean relationship.
Breach of the Upper Band: Conversely, if the difference plot touches or crosses above the upper Alert Threshold , it suggests that the first symbol is overvalued compared to the second. This implies:
Action: You'd consider selling the first symbol ( SANDUSDT ) and buying the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ).
Rationale: The anticipation here is that the price of the first symbol will decrease, or the price of the second will increase, or both, bringing the relationship back to its historical average.
Convergence to the Mean: As mentioned earlier, when the green line aligns closely with the purple line, it's an indication that the assets have returned to their typical price relationship. This serves as a signal for traders to consider closing out their positions, locking in the gains from the arbitrage opportunity.
It's important to note that when you're trading based on symbol relations, you're essentially betting on the relative performance of the two assets. This strategy, often referred to as "pairs trading," seeks to capitalize on price imbalances between related financial instruments. By taking opposing positions in the two symbols, traders aim to profit from the eventual reversion of the price difference to the mean.
LNL Trend SystemLNL Trend System is an ATR based day trading system specifically designed for intra-day traders and scalpers. The System works on any chart time frame & can be applied to any market. The study consist of two components - the Trend Line and the Stop Line. Trend System is based on a special ATR calculation that is achieved by combining the previous values of the 13 EMA in relation to the ATR which creates a line of deviations that visually look similar to the basic moving average but actually produce very different results ESPECIALLY in sideways market.
Trend Line:
Trend Line is a simple line which is basically a fast gauge represented by the 13 EMA that can change the color based on the current trend structure defined by multiple averages (8,13,21,34 EMAs). Trend Line is there to simply add the confluence for the current trend. Colors of the line are pretty much self-explanatory. Whenever the line turns red it states that the current structure is bearish. Vice versa for green line. Gray line represents neutral market structure.
Stop Line:
Stop Line is an ATR deviaton line with special calculation based on the previous bar ATRs and position of the price in relation to the current and previous values of 13 EMA. As already stated, this creates an ATR deviation marker either above or below the price that trails the price up or down until they touch. Whenever the price comes into the Stop Line it means it is making an ATR expansion move up or down .This touch will usually resolve into a reaction (a bounce) which provides trade opportunities.
Trend Bars:
When turned ON, Trend Bars can provide additional confulence of the current trend alongside with the Trend Line color. Trend Bars are based on the DMI and ADX indicators. Whenever the DMI is bearish and ADX is above 20 the candles paint themselfs red. And vice versa applies for the green candles and bullish DMI. Whenever the ADX falls below the 20, candles are netural (Gray) which means there is no real trend in place at the moment.
Trend Mode:
There are total of 5 different trend modes available. Each mode is visualizing different ATR settings which provides either aggressive or more conservative approach. The more tigher the mode, the more closer the distance between the price and the Stop Line. First two modes were designed for slower markets, whereas the "Loose" and "FOMC" modes are more suitable for products with high volatility.
Trend Modes:
1. Tight
Ideal for the slowest markets. Slowest market can be any market with unusually small average true range values or just simply a market that does have a personality of a "sleeper". Tight Mode can be also used for aggresive entries in the most ridiculous trends. Sometimes price will barely pullback to the Trend Line not even the Stop Line.
2. Normal
Normal Mode is the golden mean between the modes. "Normal" provides the ideal ATR lengths for the most used markets such as S&P Futures (ES) or SPY, AAPL and plenty of other highly popular stocks. More often than not, the length of this mode is respected considering there is no breaking news or high impact market event scheduled.
3. Loose
The "Loose" mode is basically a normal mode but a little bit more loose. This mode is useful whenever the ATRs jump higher than usual or during the days of highly anticipated news events. This mode is also better suited for more active markets such as NQ futures.
4. FOMC
The FOMC mode is called FOMC for a reason. This mode provides the maximum amount of wiggle room between the price and the Stop Line. This mode was designed for the extreme volatility, breaking news events or post-FOMC trading. If the market quiets down, this mode will not get the Stop Line touch as frequently as othete modes, thus it is not very useful to run this on markets with the average volatlity. Although never properly tested, perhaps the FOMC mode can find its value in the crypto market?
5. The Net
The net mode is basically a combination of all modes into one stop line system which creates "the net" effect. The Net provides the widest Stop Line zone which can be mainly appreciated by traders that like to use scale-in scale-out methods for their trading. Not to mention the visual side of the indicator which looks pretty great with the net mode on.
HTF (Higher Time Frame) Trend System:
The system also includes additional higher time frame (HTF) trend system. This can be set to any time frame by manual HTF mode. HTF mode set to "auto" will automatically choose the best suitable higher time frame trend system based on how appropriate the aggregation is. For everything below 5min the HTF Trend System will stay on 5min. Anything between 5-15min = 30min. 30min - 120min will turn on the 240min. 180min and higher will result in Daily time frame. Anything above the Daily will result in Weekly HTF aggregation, above W = Monthly, above M = Quarterly.
Background Clouds:
In terms of visualization, each trend system is fully customizable through the inputs settings. There is also an option to turn on/off the background clouds behind the stop lines. These clouds can make the charts more clean & visible.
Tips & Tricks:
1. Different Trend Modes
Try out different modes in different markets. There is no one single mode that will fit to everyone on the same type of market. I myself actually prefer more Loose than the Normal.
2. Stop Line Mirroring
Whenever the Stop Lines start to mirror each other (there is one above the price and one below) this means the price is entering a ranging sideways market. It does not matter which Stop Line will the price touch first. They can both be faded until one of them flips.
3. Signs of the Ranging Market
Watch out for signs of ranging market. Whenever the Trend System looses its colors whether on trend line or trend bars, if everything turns neutral (gray) that is usually a solid indication of a range type action for the following moments. Also as already stated before, the Stop Line mirroring is a good sign of the range market.
4. Trailing Tool, Trend System as an Additional Study?
In case you are not a fan of the colorful green / red charts & candles. You can switch all of them off and just leave the Stop Line on. This way you can use the benefits of the trend system and still use other studies on top of that. Similarly as the Parabolic SAR is often used.
5. The Flip Setup
One of my favorite trades is the Flip Setup on the 5min charts. Whenever the Stop Line is broken , the very first opposing touch after the Trend System flips is a usually a highly participated touch. If there is a strong reaction, this means this is likely a beginning of a new trend. Once I am in the position i like to trail the Stop Line on the 1min charts.
Hope it helps.
Magic Trend By Market Mindset - Zero To EndlessMagic Trend indicator is an indicator combining the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and the Average True Range (ATR) indicators.
The indicator is represented by a line that turns red when CCI readings are below 0 and converts to blue when CCI reaches above 0.
Color of the line can be treated as a trend indicator.
When CCI > 0 (Blue Color), price is assumed to be in uptrend and a buying momentum could be seen.
When CCI < 0 (Red Color), price is assumed to be in downtrend and a selling pressure could be seen.
Two Multipliers of ATR have been used. Default values for multiploier are : 1.5 and 3.0
It tells about the volatality in the price and also helps in deciding Entry poits, Stop loss points and sometimes Exit points.
If trend magic lines are not straight and moving upward/downward, continuition of the trend is expected and so Holding the position is adviced.
If the farther line (line with multiplier 3.0) is broken, a trend reversal can be seen soon.
In this case, squaring off and making reverse position is adviced near the other (1.5 mult) line.
If price is revolving in between these two lines... a sideways movement is expected.
Happy Trading

Auto-Length Adaptive ChannelsIntroduction
The key innovation of the ALAC is the implementation of dynamic length identification, which allows the indicator to adjust to the "market beat" or dominant cycle in real-time.
The Auto-Length Adaptive Channels (ALAC) is a flexible technical analysis tool that combines the benefits of five different approaches to market band and price deviation calculations.
Traders often tend to overthink of what length their indicators should use, and this is the main idea behind this script. It automatically calculates length based on pivot points, averaging the distance that is in between of current market highs and lows.
This approach is very helpful to identify market deviations, because deviations are always calculated and compared to previous market behavior.
How it works
The indicator uses a Detrended Rhythm Oscillator (DRO) to identify the dominant cycle in the market. This length information is then used to calculate different market bands and price deviations. The ALAC combines five different methodologies to compute these bands:
1 - Bollinger Bands
2 - Keltner Channels
3 - Envelope
4 - Average True Range Channels
5 - Donchian Channels
By averaging these calculations, the ALAC produces an overall market band that generalizes the approaches of these five methods into a single, adaptive channel.
How to Use
When the price is at the upper band, this might suggest that the asset is overbought and may be due for a price correction. Conversely, when the price is at the lower band, the asset may be oversold and due for a price increase.
The space between the bands represents the market's volatility. Wider bands indicate higher volatility, while narrower bands suggest lower volatility.
Indicator Settings
The settings of the ALAC allow for customization to suit different trading strategies:
Use Autolength?: This allows the indicator to automatically adjust the length of the dominant cycle.
Usual Length: If "Use Autolength?" is disabled, this setting allows the user to manually specify the length of the cycle.
Moving Average Type: This selects the type of moving average to be used in the calculations. Options include SMA, EMA, ALMA, DEMA, JMA, KAMA, SMMA, TMA, TSF, VMA, VAMA, VWMA, WMA, and ZLEMA.
Channel Multiplier: This adjusts the distance between the bands.
Channel Multiplier Step: This changes the step size of the channel multiplier. Each next market band will be multiplied by a previous one. You can potentially use values below 1, which will plot bands inside the first, main channel.
Use DPO instead of source data?: This setting uses the DPO for calculations instead of the source data. Basically, this is how you can add or eliminate trend from calculation of an average leg-up / leg-down move.
Fast: This adjusts the fast length of the DPO.
Slow: This adjusts the slow length of the DPO.
Zig-zag Period: This adjusts the period of the zig-zag pattern used in the DPO.
(!) For more information about DPO visit official TradingView description here: link
Also, I want to say thanks to @StockMarketCycles for initial idea of Detrended Rhythm Oscillator (DRO) that I use in this script.
The Adaptive Average Channel is a powerful and versatile indicator that combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis methods.
In summary, with the ALAC, you can:
1 - Dynamically adapt to any asset and price action with automatic calculation of dominant cycle lengths.
2 - Identify potential overbought and oversold conditions with the adaptive market bands.
3 - Customize your analysis with various settings, including moving average type and channel multiplier.
4 - Enhance your trading strategy by using the indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

What Does DTR Signify?
Stock ATR stands for Average True Range, which is a technical indicator used in trading and investment analysis. The Average True Range measures the volatility of a stock over a given period of time. It provides insights into the price movement and potential price ranges of the stock.
The ATR is calculated as the average of the true ranges over a specific number of periods. The true range is the greatest of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The absolute value of the difference between the current high and the previous close.
The absolute value of the difference between the current low and the previous close.
Traders and investors use ATR to assess the potential risk and reward of a stock. A higher ATR value indicates higher volatility and larger price swings, while a lower ATR value suggests lower volatility and smaller price movements. By understanding the ATR, traders can set appropriate stop-loss levels and make informed decisions about position sizing and risk management.
It's important to note that the ATR is not a directional indicator like moving averages or oscillators. Instead, it provides a measure of volatility, helping traders adapt their strategies to suit the current market conditions.
What Does ATR Signify?
The Average True Range (ATR) signifies the level of volatility or price variability in a particular financial asset, such as a stock, currency pair, or commodity, over a specific period of time. It provides valuable information to traders and investors regarding the potential risk and reward associated with the asset.
Here are the key significances of ATR:
Volatility Measurement: ATR measures the average price range between high and low prices over a specified timeframe. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility, while lower values suggest lower volatility. Traders use this information to gauge the potential price movements and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Risk Assessment: A higher ATR value implies larger price swings, indicating increased market uncertainty and risk. Traders can use ATR to set appropriate stop-loss levels and manage risk by adjusting position sizes based on the current volatility.
Trend Strength: ATR can also be used to assess the strength of a trend. In an uptrend or downtrend, ATR tends to increase, indicating a more powerful price movement. Conversely, a declining ATR might signify a weakening trend or a consolidation period.
Range-Bound Market Identification: In a range-bound or sideways market, the ATR value tends to be relatively low, reflecting the lack of significant price movements. This information can be helpful for range-trading strategies.
Volatility Breakouts: Traders often use ATR to identify potential breakouts from consolidation patterns. When the ATR value expands significantly, it may indicate the beginning of a new trend or a breakout move.
Comparison between Assets: ATR allows traders to compare the volatility of different
How to use DTR & ATR for Trading
Using Average True Range (ATR) and Daily Trading Range (DTR) can be beneficial for day trading to assess potential price movements, manage risk, and identify trading opportunities. Here's how you can use both indicators effectively:
Calculate ATR and DTR: First, calculate the ATR and DTR values for the asset you are interested in trading. ATR is the average of true ranges over a specified period (e.g., 14 days), while DTR is the difference between the high and low prices of a single trading day.
Assess Volatility: Compare the ATR and DTR values to understand the current volatility of the asset. Higher values indicate increased volatility, while lower values suggest reduced volatility.
Setting Stop-Loss: Use ATR to set appropriate stop-loss levels. For example, you might decide to set your stop-loss a certain number of ATR points away from your entry point. This approach allows you to factor in market volatility when determining your risk tolerance.
Identify Trading Range: Analyze DTR to determine the typical daily price range of the asset. This information can help you identify potential support and resistance levels, which are essential for day trading strategies such as breakout or range trading.
Breakout Strategies: ATR can assist in identifying potential breakout opportunities. When ATR values increase significantly, it suggests an expansion in volatility, which may indicate an upcoming breakout from a trading range. Look for breakouts above resistance or below support levels with higher than usual ATR values.
Scalping Strategies: For scalping strategies, where traders aim to profit from small price movements within a single trading session, knowing the typical DTR can help set reasonable profit targets and stop-loss levels.
Confirming Trend Strength: In day trading, you may encounter short-term trends. Use ATR to assess the strength of these trends. If the ATR is rising, it suggests a strong trend, while a declining ATR may indicate a weakening trend or potential reversal.
Risk Management: Both ATR and DTR can aid in risk management. Determine your position size based on the current ATR value to align it with your risk tolerance. Additionally, understanding the DTR can help you avoid overtrading during periods of low volatility.
Combine with Other Indicators: ATR and DTR work well when used in conjunction with other technical indicators like moving averages, Bollinger Bands, or RSI. Combining multiple indicators can provide a mor
ATR Extension [QuantVue]The Moving Average ATR Extension Indicator offers a powerful blend of two key market elements: the Average True Range (ATR) and Moving Averages (MA), capturing the dynamics of market momentum and trend direction.
This indicator is used to measure market extension from a user-selected moving average based on multiples of the Average True Range (ATR). By doing this, it becomes remarkably straightforward to spot strength at breakout points or exhaustion near the end of a run.
As a market breaks out the extension indicates a surge in buying pressure, while an extension after a sizeable move can often be an indication of market exhaustion. This extended position essentially reflects over-enthusiastic buying and could be an early warning sign of a potential trend reversal.
Breakout Strength:
Exhaustion:

Average True Range Trailing Mean [Alifer]Upgrade of the Average True Range default indicator by TradingView. It adds and plots a trailing mean to show periods of increased volatility more clearly.
ATR TRAILING MEAN
A trailing mean, also known as a moving average, is a statistical calculation used to smooth out data over time and identify trends or patterns in a time series.
In our indicator, it clearly shows when the ATR value spikes outside of it's average range, making it easier to identify periods of increased volatility.
Here's how the ATR Trailing Mean (atr_mean) is calculated:
atr_mean = ta.cum(atr) / (bar_index + 1) * atr_mult
The ta.cum() function calculates the cumulative sum of the ATR over all bars up to the current bar.
(bar_index + 1) represents the number of bars processed up to the current bar, including the current one.
By dividing the cumulative ATR ta.cum(atr) by (bar_index + 1) and then multiplying it by atr_mult (Multiplier), we obtain the ATR Trailing Mean value.
If atr_mult is set to 1.0, the ATR Trailing Mean will be equal to the simple average of the ATR values, and it will follow the ATR's general trend.
However, if atr_mult is increased, the ATR Trailing Mean will react more strongly to the ATR's recent changes, making it more sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
On the other hand, reducing atr_mult will make the ATR Trailing Mean less responsive to recent changes in ATR, making it smoother and less prone to reacting to short-term volatility.
In summary, adjusting the atr_mult input allows traders to fine-tune the ATR Trailing Mean's responsiveness based on their preferred level of sensitivity to recent changes in market volatility.
IMPLEMENTATION IN A STRATEGY
You can easily implement this indicator in an existing strategy, to only enter positions when the ATR is above the ATR Trailing Mean (with Multiplier-adjusted sensitivity). To do so, add the following lines of codes.
Under Inputs:
length = input.int(title="Length", defval=20, minval=1)
atr_mult = input.float(defval=1.0, step = 0.1, title = "Multiplier", tooltip = "Adjust the sensitivity of the ATR Trailing Mean line.")
smoothing = input.string(title="Smoothing", defval="RMA", options= )
ma_function(source, length) =>
switch smoothing
"RMA" => ta.rma(source, length)
"SMA" => ta.sma(source, length)
"EMA" => ta.ema(source, length)
=> ta.wma(source, length)
This will allow you to define the Length of the ATR (lookback length over which the ATR is calculated), the Multiplier to adjust the Trailing Mean's sensitivity and the type of Smoothing to be used for the ATR.
Under Calculations:
atr= ma_function(ta.tr(true), length)
atr_mean = ta.cum(atr) / (bar_index+1) * atr_mult
This will calculate the ATR based on Length and Smoothing, and the resulting ATR Trailing Mean.
Under Entry Conditions, add the following to your existing conditions:
and atr > atr_mean
This will make it so that entries are only triggered when the ATR is above the ATR Trailing Mean (adjusted by the Multiplier value you defined earlier).
ATR - DEFINITION AND HISTORY
The Average True Range (ATR) is a technical indicator used to measure market volatility, regardless of the direction of the price. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder and introduced in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" in 1978. ATR provides valuable insights into the degree of price movement or volatility experienced by a financial asset, such as a stock, currency pair, commodity, or cryptocurrency, over a specific period.
ATR - CALCULATION AND USAGE
The ATR calculation involves three components:
1 — True Range (TR): The True Range is a measure of the asset's price movement for a given period. It takes into account the following factors:
The difference between the high and low prices of the current period.
The absolute value of the difference between the high price of the current period and the closing price of the previous period.
The absolute value of the difference between the low price of the current period and the closing price of the previous period.
Mathematically, the True Range (TR) for the current period is calculated as follows:
TR = max(high - low, abs(high - previous_close), abs(low - previous_close))
2 — ATR Calculation: The ATR is calculated as a Moving Average (MA) of the True Range over a specified period.
The ATR is calculated as follows:
ATR = MA(TR, length)
3 — ATR Interpretation: The ATR value represents the average volatility of the asset over the chosen period. Higher ATR values indicate higher volatility, while lower ATR values suggest lower volatility.
Traders and investors can use ATR in various ways:
Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: ATR can help determine appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels in trading strategies. A larger ATR value might require wider stop-loss levels to allow for the asset's natural price fluctuations, while a smaller ATR value might allow for tighter stop-loss levels.
Identifying Market Volatility: A sharp increase in ATR might indicate heightened market uncertainty or the potential for significant price movements. Conversely, a decreasing ATR might suggest a period of low volatility and possible consolidation.
Comparing Volatility Between Assets: Since ATR uses absolute values, it shouldn't be used to compare volatility between different assets, as assets with higher prices will consistently have higher ATR values, while assets with lower prices will consistently have lower ATR values. However, the addition of a trailing mean makes such a comparison possible. An asset whose ATR is consistently close to its ATR Trailing Mean will have a lower volatility than an asset whose ATR continuously moves far above and below its ATR Trailing Mean. This can help traders and investors decide which markets to trade based on their risk tolerance and trading strategies.
Determining Position Size: ATR can be used to adjust position sizes, taking into account the asset's volatility. Smaller position sizes might be appropriate for more volatile assets to manage risk effectively.
Buyers & Sellers / RangeBuyers & Sellers / Range
Volatility oscillator that measures the relationship of Buying & Selling Pressure to True Range.
In other words, how much % Buyers and Sellers separately occupy the Bar
BSP is a part of Bar Range. Entire bar metrics will always have bigger value than its composite elements (body and wicks).
Since there will be NO chance of BP or SP being more than ATR, their ratio would serve crucial Volatility details.
Hence, we can relate each of them to the overall range.
As a result we have simultaneous measurements of proportions buyers and sellers to the bar.
Default mode shows BP/ATR and SP/ATR mirrored. When one rises, the other falls to compensate.
Buying Pressure / True Range ⬆️🟢 ⬇️🔵
Selling Pressure / True Range ⬆️🔴 ⬇️🟠
They are being averaged in 2 different ways:
Pre-average first, then relate as ratio
Related first, then Averaged
Enable "Preaveraged" to use already averaged BSP and Ranges in ratio instead of averaging the ratio of BSP to individual bar. For example, we're looking BP/ATR, in calculation of buyers / Range it will use "MA(Buying Pressure) / MA(True Range)" instead of "MA(Buying Pressure / True Range)".
Due such calculation, it is going to be more lagging than in off mode. Nevertheless, it reduces noise from the impact of individual bar change.
Second way of noise reduction is enabling "Body / Range"
BSP Body / Range where Bullish & Bearish Body = Buying & Selling Pressure - Relevant Wick
Buying Body = Buying Pressure - Lower Wick
Selling Body = Selling Pressure - Upper Wick
And only then it is divided to ATR.
Note that Balance line differs because body is less than it used to be with wicks. So change in wicks won't play any role in computing the ratio anymore. Thus, signals of their crossings will be more reliable than in default mode.

The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
Each instrument per unit of time passes its average value of the true range, but there are moments when the volatility explodes or abruptly decays, these phenomena introduce large distortions into the average value of the true range.
The ATR_WPB function calculates the average value of the true range for the specified number of bars, while excluding paranormally large and paranormally small bars from the calculation of the average.
For example, if the instrument has passed a small ATR value, then it has many chances to continue moving, but if the instrument has passed its ATR value, then the chances of continuing to move are extremely low.
Price Legs: Average Heights; 'Smart ATR'Price Legs: Average Heights; 'Smart ATR'. Consol Range Gauge
~~ Indicator to show small and large price legs (based on short and long input pivot lengths), and calculating the average heights of these price legs; counting legs from user-input start time ~~
//Premise: Wanted to use this as something like a 'Smart ATR': where the average/typical range of a distinct & dynamic price leg could be calculated based on a user-input time interval (as opposed to standard ATR, which is simply the average range over a consistent repeating period, with no regard to market structure). My instinct is that this would be most useful for consolidated periods & range trading: giving the trader an idea of what the typical size of a price leg might be in the current market state (hence in the title, Consol Range gauge)
//Features & User inputs:
-Start time: confirm input when loading indicator by clicking on the chart. Then drag the vertical line to change start time easily.
-Large Legs (toggle on/off) and user-input pivot lookback/lookforward length (larger => larger legs)
-Small Legs (toggle on/off) and user-input pivot lookback/lookforward length (smaller => smaller legs)
-Display Stats table: toggle on/off: simple view- shows the averages of large (up & down), small (up & down), and combined (for each).
-Extended stats table: toggle on/off option to show the averages of the last 3 legs of each category (up/down/large/small/combined)
-Toggle on/off Time & Price chart text labels of price legs (time in mins/hours/days; price in $ or pips; auto assigned based on asset)
-Table position: user choice.
//Notes & tips:
-Using custom start time along with replay mode, you can select any arbitrary chunk of price for the purpose of backtesting.
-Play around with the pivot lookback lengths to find price legs most suitable to the current market regime (consolidating/trending; high volatility/ low volatility)
-Single bar price legs will never be counted: they must be at least 2 bars from H>>L or L>>H.
//Credits: Thanks to @crypto_juju for the idea of applying statistics to this simple price leg indicator.

Multi-Band Breakout IndicatorThe Multi-Band Breakout Indicator was created to help identify potential breakout opportunities in the market. It combines multiple bands (ATR-Based and Donchian) and moving averages to provide valuable insights into the underlying trend and potential breakouts. By understanding the calculations, interpretation, parameter adjustments, potential applications, and limitations of the indicator, traders can effectively incorporate it into their trading strategy.
Calculation:
The indicator utilizes several calculations to plot the bands and moving averages. The length parameter determines the period used for the Average True Range (ATR), which measures volatility. A higher length captures a longer-term view of price movement, while a lower length focuses on shorter-term volatility. The multiplier parameter adjusts the distance of the upper and lower bands from the ATR. A higher multiplier expands the bands, accommodating greater price volatility, while a lower multiplier tightens the bands, reflecting lower volatility. The MA Length parameter determines the period for the moving averages used to calculate the trend and trend moving average. A higher MA Length creates a smoother trend line, filtering out shorter-term fluctuations, while a lower MA Length provides a more sensitive trend line.
The Donchian calculations in the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator play a significant role in identifying potential breakout opportunities and providing additional confirmation for trading signals. In this indicator, the Donchian calculations are applied to the trend line, which represents the average of the upper and lower bands. To calculate the Donchian levels, the indicator uses the Donchian Length parameter, which determines the period over which the highest high and lowest low are calculated. A longer Donchian Length captures a broader price range, while a shorter length focuses on more recent price action. By incorporating the Donchian calculations into the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator, traders gain an additional layer of confirmation for breakout signals.
Interpretation:
The Multi-Band Breakout Indicator offers valuable interpretation for traders. The upper and lower bands represent dynamic levels of resistance and support, respectively. These bands reflect the potential price range within which the asset is expected to trade. The trend line is the average of these bands and provides a central reference point for the overall trend. When the price moves above the upper band, it suggests a potential overbought condition and a higher probability of a pullback. Conversely, when the price falls below the lower band, it indicates a potential oversold condition and an increased likelihood of a bounce. The trend moving average further smooths the trend line, making it easier to identify the prevailing direction.
The crossover of the trend line (representing the average of the upper and lower bands) and the trend moving average holds a significant benefit for traders. This crossover serves as a powerful signal for potential trend changes and breakout opportunities in the market. When the trend line crosses above the trend moving average, it suggests a shift in momentum towards the upside, indicating a potential bullish trend. This provides traders with an early indication of a possible upward movement in prices. Conversely, when the trend line crosses below the trend moving average, it indicates a shift in momentum towards the downside, signaling a potential bearish trend. This crossover acts as an early warning for potential downward price movement. By identifying these crossovers, traders can capture the initial stages of a new trend, enabling them to enter trades at favorable entry points and potentially maximize their profit potential.
Breakout Signals:
For bullish breakouts, the indicator looks for a bullish crossover between the trend line and the trend moving average. This crossover suggests a shift in momentum towards the upside. Additionally, it checks if the current price has broken above the upper band and the previous Donchian high. This confirms that the price is surpassing a previous resistance level, indicating further upward movement.
For bearish breakouts, the indicator looks for a bearish crossunder between the trend line and the trend moving average. This crossunder indicates a shift in momentum towards the downside. It also checks if the current price has broken below the lower band and the previous Donchian low. This confirms that the price is breaking through a previous support level, signaling potential downward movement.
When a bullish or bearish breakout is detected, it suggests a potential trading opportunity. Traders may consider initiating positions in the direction of the breakout, anticipating further price movement in that direction. However, it's important to remember that breakouts alone do not guarantee a successful trade. Other factors, such as market conditions, volume, and confirmation from additional indicators, should be taken into account. Risk management techniques should also be implemented to manage potential losses.
Coloration:
The coloration in the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator is used to visually represent different aspects of the indicator and provide valuable insights to traders. Let's break down the coloration components:
-- Trend/Basis Color : The tColor variable determines the color of the bars based on the relationship between the trend line (trend) and the closing price (close), as well as the relationship between the trend line and the trend moving average (trendMA). If the trend line is above the closing price and the trend moving average is also above the closing price, the bars are colored fuchsia, indicating a potential bullish trend. If the trend line is below the closing price and the trend moving average is also below the closing price, the bars are colored lime, indicating a potential bearish trend. If neither of these conditions is met, the bars are colored yellow, representing a neutral or indecisive market condition.
-- Moving Average Color : The maColor variable determines the color of the filled area between the trend line and the trend moving average. If the trend line is above the trend moving average, the area is filled with a lime color with 70% opacity, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, if the trend line is below the trend moving average, the area is filled with a fuchsia color with 70% opacity, indicating a potential bearish trend. This coloration helps traders visually identify the relationship between the trend line and the trend moving average.
-- highColor and lowColor : The highColor and lowColor variables determine the colors of the high Donchian band (hhigh) and the low Donchian band (llow), respectively. These bands represent dynamic levels of resistance and support. If the highest point in the previous Donchian period (hhigh) is above the upper band, the highColor is set to olive with 90% opacity, indicating a potential resistance level. On the other hand, if the lowest point in the previous Donchian period (llow) is below the lower band, the lowColor is set to red with 90% opacity, suggesting a potential support level. These colorations help traders quickly identify important price levels and assess their significance in relation to the bands.
By incorporating coloration, the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator provides visual cues to traders, making it easier to interpret the relationships between various components and assisting in identifying potential trend changes and breakout opportunities. Traders can use these color cues to quickly assess the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions.
Adjusting Parameters:
The Multi-Band Breakout Indicator offers flexibility through parameter adjustments. Traders can customize the indicator based on their preferences and trading style. The length parameter controls the sensitivity to price changes, with higher values capturing longer-term trends, while lower values focus on shorter-term price movements. By adjusting the parameters, such as the ATR length, multiplier, Donchian length, and MA length, traders can customize the indicator to suit different timeframes and trading strategies. For shorter timeframes, smaller values for these parameters may be more suitable, while longer timeframes may require larger values.
Potential Applications:
The Multi-Band Breakout Indicator can be applied in various trading strategies. It helps identify potential breakout opportunities, allowing traders to enter trades in the direction of the breakout. Traders can use the indicator to initiate trades when the price moves above the upper band or below the lower band, confirming a potential breakout and providing a signal to enter a trade. Additionally, the indicator can be combined with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or trend indicators, to increase the probability of successful trades. By incorporating the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator into their trading approach, traders can gain a better understanding of market trends and capture potential profit opportunities.
Limitations:
While the Multi-Band Breakout Indicator is a useful tool, it has some limitations that traders should consider. The indicator performs best in trending markets where price movements are relatively strong and sustained. During ranging or choppy market conditions, the indicator may generate false signals, leading to potential losses. It is crucial to use the indicator in conjunction with other analysis techniques and risk management strategies to enhance its effectiveness. Additionally, traders should consider external factors such as market news, economic events, and overall market sentiment when interpreting the signals generated by the indicator.
By combining multiple bands and moving averages, this indicator offers valuable insights into the underlying trend and helps traders make informed trading decisions. With customization options and careful interpretation, this indicator can be a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, assisting in identifying potential breakouts, capturing profitable trades, and enhancing overall trading performance.
Webby's Tight IndicatorWebby's Tight Indicator is used to measure a securities volatility relative to itself over time. This is achieved by taking the average of three short term ATR's (average true range) and creating a ratio versus three longer term ATR's.
Mike Webster recently stated he is using the 3,5,8 for the short term ATR's and the 55,89,144 for the long term ATR's. All of the ATR lengths are part of the Fibonacci sequence.
The ratio of the ATR's is then calculated and plotted as a histogram with 0 representing the ATR's being equal. As a stocks short term ATR contracts the histogram will rise above 0 meaning volatility in the short term is contracting relative to long term volatility. On the other hand if the short ATR's are expanding versus the long term ATR's the histogram will fall below 0 and turn red, signifying short term volatility is greater than long term volatility.
The easy visualization of this indicator allows you to quickly see when a stock is in a tight range and could be ready for a potential breakout to the long side or breakdown to the short side.
In this example we see tight price action with a blue histogram followed by volatility to the upside coinciding with a breakout.
In this example we see volatility expanding as a stock continues to fall.
To help differentiate between trending contraction or expansion and just short term blips 5-day exponential moving average of the ratio is also plotted on the histogram and dynamically changes colors as it rises and falls.

Price Exhaustion IndicatorThe Price Exhaustion Indicator (PE) is a powerful tool designed to identify trends weakening and strengthening in the financial markets. It combines the concepts of Average True Range (ATR), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Stochastic Oscillator to provide a comprehensive assessment of trend exhaustion levels. By analyzing these multiple indicators together, traders and investors can gain valuable insights into potential price reversals and long-term market highs and lows.
The aim of combining the ATR, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator, is to provide a comprehensive analysis of trend exhaustion. The ATR component helps assess the volatility and range of price movements, while the MACD offers insights into the convergence and divergence of moving averages. The Stochastic Oscillator measures the current price in relation to its range, providing further confirmation of trend exhaustion. The exhaustion value is derived by combining the MACD, ATR, and Stochastic Oscillator. The MACD value is divided by the ATR value, and then multiplied by the Stochastic Oscillator value. This calculation results in a single exhaustion value that reflects the combined influence of these three indicators.
Application
The Price Exhaustion Indicator utilizes a unique visual representation by incorporating a gradient color scheme. The exhaustion line dynamically changes color, ranging from white when close to the midline (40) to shades of purple as it approaches points of exhaustion (overbought at 100 and oversold at -20). As the exhaustion line approaches the color purple, this represents extreme market conditions and zones of weakened trends where reversals may occur. This color gradient serves as a visual cue, allowing users to quickly gauge the strength or weakness of the prevailing trend.
To further enhance its usability, the Price Exhaustion Indicator also includes circle plots that signify potential points of trend reversion. These plots appear when the exhaustion lines cross or enter the overbought and oversold zones. Red circle plots indicate potential short entry points, suggesting a weakening trend and the possibility of a downward price reversal. Conversely, green circle plots represent potential long entry points, indicating a strengthening trend and the potential for an upward price reversal.
Traders and investors can leverage the Price Exhaustion Indicator in various ways. It can be utilized as a trend-following tool, or a mean reversion tool. When the exhaustion line approaches the overbought or oversold zones, it suggests a weakening trend and the possibility of a price reversal, helping identify potential market tops and bottoms. This can guide traders in timing their entries or exits in anticipation of a trend shift.
Utility
The Price Exhaustion Indicator is particularly useful for long-term market analysis, as it focuses on identifying long-term market highs and lows. By capturing the gradual weakening or strengthening of a trend, it assists investors in making informed decisions about portfolio allocation, trend continuation, or potential reversals.
In summary, the Price Exhaustion Indicator is a comprehensive and visually intuitive tool that combines ATR, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator to identify trend exhaustion levels. By utilizing a gradient color scheme and circle plots, it offers traders and investors valuable insights into potential trend reversals and long-term market highs and lows. Its unique features make it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, providing a deeper understanding of market dynamics and assisting in decision-making processes. Please note that future performance of any trading strategy is fundamentally unknowable, and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Webby's RSI 2.0Webby's RSI (Really Simple Indicator) 2.0 or version 5.150 as Mike himself calls it, builds upon the original Webby RSI by changing the way we measure extension from the 21-day exponential moving average.
Instead using the percentage of the low versus the 21-day exponential moving average, version 2 uses a multiple of the securities 50 day ATR (average true range) to determine the extension.
Version 2.0 also comes with some new additions, such as measuring the high vs 21-day exponential moving average when a security is below it, as well as an ATR extension from the 10-day simple moving average that Mike looks to as a guide to take partials.
AIR Vortex ADXThis project started as an effort to improve the user interface of the hybrid indicator ADX of Vortex, which is, as per the name, a blend of ADX and Vortex Indicator. Plotting both indicators on the same polarity and normalising the vortex, a better interpretation of the interaction between the two is possible, and trend becomes apparent.
Basically, the Vortex provides the bright punch and ADX the continuation of the trend and momentum.
A range mixer has been added to the vortex, comprising both true and interpercentile ranges (see my previous script for a desrciption of interpercentile range). Users can activate and add amounts of each as they see fit.
Finally, there is an RSI filter, the idea of which is to filter out ranging (flat) markets, where no distinct direction is yet emerging.
ATR profit and loss linesWhat is ATR?
Taking a candlestick, the following 3 transactions are calculated:
1-The difference between the high of the day and the low of the day
2-The difference between today's high and yesterday's close
3-The difference between today's low and yesterday's close
Atr takes the average of these 14-day candlesticks after making their calculations and it predicts how high or low a candle can go and these give us support and resistance helps with points
If you have noticed a rise in your chart and have no idea how high it will go, you can use Atr profit and loss lines.
The red zone is the stop point, the blue zones are the snow zones.
Must be used with macd. macd is validator.
There is an increase in your chart, you opened the atr profit and loss lines upwards and if macd gives you an increase, it is recommended that you enter the trade at that time. It is recommended to increase your loss line 1 step in the direction of profit every 2 profit breaks on atr profit and loss lines.

ATR DeltaThe ATR Delta indicator is based on the concept of Average True Range (ATR), which reflects the average price range over a specified period. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, the ATR Delta provides valuable insights into volatility shifts in the market. This information can help traders identify periods of heightened or diminished price movement, enabling them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
The ATR Delta indicator consists of two main calculations:
-- ATR Calculation : The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated using the specified length parameter. It measures the average price range (including gaps) during that period. A larger ATR value indicates higher volatility, while a smaller value indicates lower volatility.
-- ATR Delta Calculation : The ATR Delta is calculated by subtracting the ATR value of the previous bar from the current ATR value. This calculation captures the change in volatility between the two periods, providing a measure of how volatility has evolved.
Positive ATR Delta values indicate an increase in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have expanded, potentially indicating a more active market. On the other hand, negative ATR Delta values indicate a decrease in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have contracted, potentially signaling a calmer or range-bound market.
The ATR Delta indicator uses coloration to visually represent the relationship between the ATR Delta, zero, and a signal line:
-- Green color is assigned when the ATR Delta is positive, above the signal line, and increasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of higher volatility, as the market is experiencing upward momentum in price swings.
-- Red color is assigned when the ATR Delta is negative, below the signal line, and decreasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of lower volatility, as the market is experiencing downward momentum in price swings.
-- Gray color is assigned for other cases when the ATR Delta and signal line relationship does not meet the above conditions.
These colors are reflected in the columns of the ATR Delta as well as the bar coloration.
The ATR Delta indicator includes a signal line, which acts as a reference for interpreting the ATR Delta values. The signal line is calculated as a moving average (EMA) of the ATR Delta over a specified length. It helps smooth out the ATR Delta fluctuations, providing a clearer indication of the underlying trend in volatility changes. When the ATR Delta crosses above the signal line, it may suggest a potential increase in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming more active. Conversely, when the ATR Delta crosses below the signal line, it may suggest a potential decrease in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming less active.
The coloration of the signal line in the ATR Delta indicator helps to differentiate between positive and negative values and provides further insight into market sentiment. When the signal line is positive, indicating increasing volatility, it is colored lime. This color choice reinforces the bullish sentiment and signifies potential opportunities for trend continuation or breakouts. On the other hand, when the signal line is negative, indicating decreasing volatility, it is colored fuchsia. This color choice highlights the bearish sentiment and suggests potential range-bound or consolidation periods. These colors are reflected in the background of the indicator.
The ATR Delta indicator offers several potential applications for traders:
-- Volatility Analysis : The ATR Delta is invaluable for understanding and analyzing volatility dynamics in the market. Traders can observe the changes in ATR Delta values and use them to assess the current level of price movement. This information can help determine the appropriate strategies and risk management approaches.
-- Breakout Strategies : Traders often use the ATR Delta to identify periods of increased volatility, which frequently accompany breakouts. By monitoring the ATR Delta, traders can anticipate potential price breakouts and adjust their entry and exit levels accordingly.
-- Trend Confirmation : Combining the ATR Delta with trend-following indicators allows traders to validate the strength of a trend. Higher ATR Delta values during an uptrend may indicate stronger momentum and a higher likelihood of continuation. Conversely, lower ATR Delta values during a downtrend may suggest a potential consolidation phase or trend reversal.
Limitations :
-- Lagging Indicator : The ATR Delta indicator is based on historical data and calculates the difference between current and previous ATR values. As a result, it may lag behind real-time market conditions. Traders should be aware of this delay and consider it when making trading decisions. It is advisable to combine the ATR Delta with other indicators or price action analysis for a more comprehensive assessment of market conditions.
-- Parameter Sensitivity : The ATR Delta indicator's effectiveness can be influenced by the selection of its parameters, such as the length of the ATR and signal line. Different market conditions may require adjustments to these parameters to better capture volatility changes. Traders should carefully test and optimize the indicator's parameters to align with the characteristics of the specific market or asset they are trading.
-- Market Regime Changes : The ATR Delta indicator assumes that volatility changes occur gradually. However, in rapidly changing market regimes or during news events, volatility can spike or drop abruptly, potentially rendering the indicator less effective. Traders should exercise caution and consider using additional tools or techniques to identify and adapt to such market conditions.
The ATR Delta indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to analyze and monitor volatility dynamics in the market. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, it provides insights into changes in price movement and helps identify periods of increased or decreased volatility. Traders can leverage the ATR Delta to fine-tune their strategies, validate trend strength, and identify potential breakout opportunities. However, it is essential to recognize the limitations of the indicator, including its lagging nature and sensitivity to parameter selection. By combining the ATR Delta with other technical analysis tools and applying sound risk management practices, traders can enhance their decision-making process and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
VIX, ATR, and Volatility Indicatorhere what the indictor do !
The "VIX, ATR, and Volatility Indicator" combines the Volatility Index (VIX), Average True Range (ATR), and moving averages to provide insights into market volatility.
VIX (Volatility Index):
The VIX measures the expected volatility in the market over the next 30 days. A higher VIX value indicates increased market volatility, while a lower value suggests lower volatility.
ATR (Average True Range):
The ATR is a technical indicator that measures the average range between high and low prices over a specified period. It provides a sense of the market's volatility by considering price movements. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility, while lower values indicate lower volatility.
Moving Averages:
The indicator calculates both an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a specific period (e.g., 50).
Moving averages smooth out price data to identify trends and potential areas of support or resistance.
Volatility Detection:
By comparing the current closing price to the EMA and SMA, the indicator determines if there is high volatility.
If the current closing price is higher than either the EMA or SMA, it indicates potential high volatility.
Visualization:
The VIX and ATR are typically plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of market volatility and price range.
Additionally, markers or labels may be used to highlight periods of high volatility when the current price exceeds the moving averages.
what are the VIX and ATR
Volatility Index (VIX):
Monitor the VIX value from financial platforms or market data providers. A higher VIX value indicates increased market volatility, suggesting potential trading opportunities. Conversely, a lower VIX value indicates lower volatility, which may influence your trading strategy.
Average True Range (ATR):
Calculate the ATR manually or use charting platforms that provide ATR as an indicator.
Plot the ATR on your trading chart to visualize the range of price movements.
Determine suitable entry and exit points based on ATR values. For example, higher ATR values may indicate larger potential price swings, while lower ATR values may suggest a more stable market.
how it work
Fetching VIX Data:
The request.security function is used to fetch the daily VIX data from the "CBOE:VIX" symbol. It retrieves the closing price of the VIX for each day.
Calculating ATR:
The ta.atr function calculates the Average True Range (ATR) with a period of 14. ATR measures the average range between the high and low prices over the specified period, providing an indication of market volatility.
Calculating Moving Averages:
Two types of moving averages are calculated: Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Simple Moving Average (SMA). Both moving averages are calculated using a period of 50, but you can adjust the period as needed.
The ta.ema function calculates the Exponential Moving Average, which places greater weight on recent prices.
The ta.sma function calculates the Simple Moving Average, which gives equal weight to all prices in the period.
Identifying High Volatility:
The indicator determines if there is high volatility by comparing the current closing price to both the EMA and SMA.
If the current closing price is higher than either the EMA or SMA, the isHighVolatility variable is set to true, indicating potential high volatility.
Plotting the Indicators:
The VIX and ATR are plotted using the plot function, assigning colors and line widths for visual differentiation.
The plotshape function is used to plot markers below the bars to indicate highly volatile periods. The isHighVolatility variable determines when the markers appear.
ATR Momentum [QuantVue]ATR Momentum is a dynamic technical analysis tool designed to assess the momentum of a securities price movement. It utilizes the comparison between a faster short-term Average True Range (ATR) and a slower long-term ATR to determine whether momentum is increasing or decreasing.
This indicator visually represents the momentum relationship by plotting both ATR values as lines on a chart and applying color fill between the lines based on if momentum is increasing or decreasing.
When the short-term ATR is greater than the long-term ATR, representing increasing momentum, the area between them is filled with green.
Conversely, when the short-term ATR is less than the long-term ATR line, the area between them is filled with red. This red fill indicates decreasing momentum.

Volume Spike, Price Move >3% Spike with Vol & Gap Up IdentifierTitle: Identifying Volume Spikes, Price Movements and Gap Ups: A TradingView Script
Introduction:
In the world of trading, identifying volume spikes and price movements can provide valuable insights into market trends and potential trading opportunities. In this article, we'll explore a TradingView script that helps traders visualize volume spikes, price up moves with volume spikes, and gap-up days on their charts.
Detecting Price Up Moves:
The script starts by calculating price up moves. It compares the current day's closing price with the previous day's closing price and checks if it has increased by 3% or more. This helps traders spot significant upward price movements.
Detecting Volume Spurts:
Next, the script focuses on detecting volume spikes, which are often associated with increased market activity and potential trading opportunities. It compares the current day's volume with the highest volume of the previous nine sessions. If the current volume exceeds all the volumes of the previous nine sessions, it is considered a volume spurt.
Example:
Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where we have the following volume data for a stock:
Day 1: 100,000
Day 2: 80,000
Day 3: 120,000
Day 4: 150,000
Day 5: 200,000
Day 6: 90,000
Day 7: 110,000
Day 8: 130,000
Day 9: 140,000
Day 10: 250,000 (current day)
To determine if there is a volume spurt on Day 10, the script compares the current day's volume (250,000) with the highest volume of the previous nine sessions. In this case, the highest volume among the previous nine sessions is 200,000 (on Day 5). Since the current day's volume (250,000) exceeds the highest volume of the previous nine sessions (200,000), it is considered a volume spurt.
Identifying Gap-Up Days:
Gap-up days occur when the market opens significantly higher than the previous day's close. To identify these days, the script compares the current day's low price with the previous day's high price. If the low price is greater than the previous day's high, it is marked as a gap-up day.
Visualizing the Findings:
To provide a clear visual representation of the identified patterns, the script uses different shapes and colors. First, it plots small red dots above the candles whenever a volume spurt is detected. These dots help traders quickly identify periods of increased volume activity.
For price up moves with volume spikes, the script utilizes blue triangular shapes below the candles. This allows traders to pinpoint instances where both price and volume are showing positive signs, indicating potential bullish movements.
Additionally, the script incorporates green candles to represent gap-up days. These candles help traders recognize days when the market opens with a significant upward gap, suggesting a potential shift in market sentiment.
Conclusion:
The TradingView script discussed in this article provides traders with a visual representation of volume spikes , price up moves with volume spikes , and gap-up days . By incorporating these visual cues into their analysis, traders can gain valuable insights into market trends and potential trading opportunities.
Remember, this script should be used for educational and informational purposes only and does not serve as financial advice or recommendations. Traders are encouraged to customize and modify the script according to their specific trading strategies and risk tolerance.
Share this script with other traders on TradingView to enhance their chart analysis and trading decisions.
PS: This TradingView script is designed to work specifically on the daily timeframe (daily candles). It calculates and identifies volume spurts based on the volume data of the daily timeframe. Since it is designed for the daily timeframe, it may not produce accurate results or work as intended on other timeframes.
