Average True Range with MA
Key features
ATR calculation: true range (ta.tr(true)) is smoothed using a selectable method to produce the ATR.
ATR smoothing options: RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for the ATR calculation.
MA-on-ATR: a separate moving average computed on the ATR values with its own length and smoothing method.
Display controls: toggles to show/hide the ATR and the ATR MA independently.
Appearance controls: separate color inputs for the ATR and the ATR MA, and a thicker line for the MA (linewidth=2).
Inputs
ATR Length (default 14): length used to smooth true range into the ATR.
ATR Smoothing (default RMA): smoothing method applied to the true range to form ATR.
MA Length (on ATR) (default 14): length for the moving average applied to the ATR series.
MA Smoothing (default SMA): smoothing method used for the MA applied to ATR.
Show ATR / Show ATR MA: booleans to toggle visibility.
ATR Color / ATR MA Color: choose plot colors.
How to interpret
ATR line: shows current volatility (average true range). Rising ATR indicates increasing volatility; falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.
ATR MA line: smooths the ATR to reveal trend direction and reduce noise.
Use crossovers: ATR crossing above its MA may signal volatility is picking up; ATR crossing below its MA suggests volatility is subsiding.
Combine with price action or other indicators (e.g., breakout systems, position sizing rules) to make decisions based on volatility regime.
