MACD-V with Volatility Normalisation [DCD]MACD-V with Volatility Normalisation
This indicator is a modified version of the traditional MACD, designed to account for market volatility by normalizing the MACD line using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides a more adaptive approach to identifying momentum shifts and potential trend reversals. This indicator was developed by Alex Spiroglou in this paper:
Spiroglou, Alex, MACD-V: Volatility Normalised Momentum (May 3, 2022).
Features:
Volatility Normalization: The MACD line is adjusted using ATR to standardize its values across different market conditions.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust the MACD fast length, slow length, signal line smoothing, and ATR length to suit their trading style.
Histogram Visualization: The histogram highlights the difference between the MACD and signal lines, with customizable colors for positive and negative momentum.
Crossover Signals: Green and red dots indicate bullish and bearish crossovers between the MACD and signal lines.
Background Highlighting: The chart background changes to green when the MACD is above 0 and red when it is below 0, providing a clear visual cue for bullish and bearish conditions.
Horizontal Levels: Dotted horizontal lines are plotted at key levels for better visualization of MACD values.
How to Use:
Look for crossovers between the MACD and signal lines to identify potential buy or sell signals.
Use the histogram to gauge the strength of momentum.
Pay attention to the background color for quick identification of bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a more dynamic MACD that adapts to market volatility. Customize the settings to align with your trading strategy and timeframe.
Average True Range (ATR)
Volatility Regime Classifier | ATRP Percentile ZonesThis indicator helps you understand the current volatility environment of any asset by comparing recent ATR-based values to its historical range.
It defines four regimes:
🔴 Low Volatility: Volatility is decreasing
🟢 Normal: Volatility is increasing but still below average
🟠 High: Volatility is elevated
🟣 Extreme: Volatility is very high compared to recent history
⚙️ How it works
We calculate the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of price (ATRP), then compare a short-term ATR to a longer-term one. Their difference shows whether volatility is picking up or slowing down.
To make the signal more adaptive, we look at the distribution of recent volatility over a rolling window. We compute the 50th and 70th percentiles of that history to set dynamic thresholds.
About distribution & percentiles
Volatility in financial markets doesn't follow a normal (Gaussian) distribution, it's often skewed, with sudden spikes and fat tails. That means fixed thresholds (like "ATR > 20") can be misleading or irrelevant across assets and timeframes.
Using percentiles solves this:
The 50th percentile marks the middle of the recent volatility range.
The 70th percentile captures a zone where volatility is unusually high, but not too rare, which keeps the signal usable and not overly sensitive.
These levels offer a balance:
⚖️ not too reactive, not too slow — just enough to highlight meaningful shifts.

Chandelier Exit with ZLSMA SwiftEdgeChandelier Exit with ZLSMA
Overview
The "Chandelier Exit with ZLSMA" indicator is a powerful trading tool designed to identify trend reversals and high-probability entry points in financial markets. By combining the volatility-based Chandelier Exit with the low-lag Zero Lag Least Squares Moving Average (ZLSMA), this indicator provides clear Buy and Sell signals, enhanced with a unique signal strength score to help traders prioritize high-quality opportunities. Visual enhancements, including dynamic color coding, background highlights, and trend arrows, make it intuitive and visually appealing for both novice and experienced traders.
What It Does
This indicator generates Buy and Sell signals when a trend reversal is detected by the Chandelier Exit, but only if the price crosses the ZLSMA for the first time in the direction of the trend. Each signal is accompanied by a percentage score (0-100%) that measures its strength based on price movement and momentum. The indicator overlays directly on the price chart, displaying:
Buy/Sell labels with signal strength (e.g., "Buy (85%)").
A ZLSMA line that changes color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to indicate trend direction.
Background highlights to mark signal candles.
Trend arrows to visually confirm signal points.
How It Works
The indicator combines two complementary components:
Chandelier Exit:
Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to create dynamic trailing stop levels (long_stop and short_stop) that adapt to market volatility.
Signals a Buy when the price crosses above the short stop (indicating a potential uptrend) and a Sell when it crosses below the long stop (indicating a potential downtrend).
Default settings use an ATR period of 1 and a multiplier of 2.0 for high sensitivity to short-term price movements.
Zero Lag LSMA (ZLSMA):
A low-lag moving average based on linear regression, designed to reduce delay compared to traditional moving averages.
Acts as a trend filter: Buy signals are only generated when the price closes above ZLSMA for the first time, and Sell signals when it closes below for the first time.
Default length of 50 balances smoothness with responsiveness.
Signal Strength Score:
Each signal is assigned a score (0-100%) based on:
Distance to ZLSMA (60% weight): How far the price is from ZLSMA, normalized by ATR. Larger distances indicate stronger breakouts.
Candlestick size (40% weight): The size of the signal candle, normalized by ATR. Larger candles suggest stronger momentum.
A high score (e.g., >80%) indicates a robust signal, while a low score (e.g., <50%) suggests caution.
Visual Features:
The ZLSMA line changes color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to reflect the trend.
Signal candles are highlighted with a subtle green (Buy) or red (Sell) background.
Tiny triangular arrows appear below Buy signals and above Sell signals for clear visual confirmation.
Why Combine Chandelier Exit and ZLSMA?
The Chandelier Exit excels at identifying trend reversals through volatility-based stops, but it can generate false signals in choppy markets due to its sensitivity (especially with a short ATR period of 1). The ZLSMA addresses this by acting as a trend filter, ensuring signals are only triggered when the price confirms a trend by crossing the ZLSMA for the first time. This combination reduces noise and focuses on high-probability setups. The signal strength score further enhances decision-making by quantifying the conviction behind each signal, making the indicator feel intuitive and "smart."
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust inputs in the settings panel:
ATR Period (default: 1): Controls the sensitivity of Chandelier Exit. Increase for smoother signals.
ATR Multiplier (default: 2.0): Sets the distance of stop levels from price extremes.
ZLSMA Length (default: 50): Adjusts the smoothness of the ZLSMA line. Shorter lengths (e.g., 20-30) are more responsive; longer lengths (e.g., 50-100) are smoother.
Use Close Price for Extremums (default: true): Determines whether Chandelier Exit uses closing prices or high/low prices for calculations.
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: A green "Buy (X%)" label appears below a candle when the price crosses above the Chandelier Exit short stop and closes above ZLSMA for the first time. The percentage indicates signal strength (higher = stronger).
Sell Signal: A red "Sell (X%)" label appears above a candle when the price crosses below the Chandelier Exit long stop and closes below ZLSMA for the first time.
Use the ZLSMA line’s color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to confirm the overall trend.
Prioritize signals with high strength scores (e.g., >70%) for better reliability.
Trading Considerations:
Combine signals with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume) for confirmation.
Test the indicator on a demo account or use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to evaluate performance.
Be cautious with the default ATR period of 1, as it is highly sensitive and may generate frequent signals in volatile markets.
What Makes It Unique
This indicator stands out due to its thoughtful integration of Chandelier Exit and ZLSMA, creating a synergy that balances sensitivity with reliability. The first-cross filter ensures signals are triggered only at the start of potential trends, reducing false positives. The signal strength score adds a layer of intelligence, helping traders assess the quality of each signal without needing external tools. Visual enhancements, such as dynamic ZLSMA coloring, background highlights, and trend arrows, make the indicator user-friendly and visually engaging, appealing to traders seeking a modern, intuitive tool.
Limitations and Notes
The short ATR period (1) makes the indicator highly sensitive, which suits short-term traders but may produce noise in sideways markets. Increase the ATR period for smoother signals.
The signal strength score is a heuristic based on price movement and momentum, not a predictive model. Use it as a guide, not a definitive predictor.
Always backtest the indicator on your preferred market and timeframe to ensure it aligns with your trading strategy.
SwiftEdge NW EnvelopeSwiftEdge NW Envelope
Overview
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope is a visually striking technical indicator designed for traders seeking to identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in volatile markets. By combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and Nadaraya-Watson Envelope, this indicator provides a unique blend of momentum, volatility, and non-linear trend analysis. Its futuristic, AI-inspired aesthetic—featuring neon gradients and dynamic colors—enhances chart readability while delivering actionable trading signals.
What It Does
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope generates buy and sell signals based on price interactions with dynamically calculated support and resistance bands, confirmed by RSI conditions. The indicator:
Plots a Nadaraya-Watson Envelope to identify smooth, non-linear price trends and dynamic support/resistance zones.
Uses ATR to scale the envelope’s bands, adapting to market volatility.
Employs RSI to confirm overbought/oversold conditions, ensuring signals align with momentum.
Visualizes signals with neon-colored markers, background zones, and labels for intuitive decision-making.
How It Works
The indicator integrates three key components:
Nadaraya-Watson Envelope:
A kernel-based regression technique that smooths price data to create a central trend line (mean) and dynamic upper/lower bands.
Unlike traditional moving averages, it provides a non-linear, adaptive view of price trends, making it ideal for capturing complex market movements.
The band width is determined by ATR, ensuring responsiveness to volatility.
Average True Range (ATR):
Measures market volatility to scale the envelope’s bands.
A multiplier (default: 0.5) adjusts the sensitivity of the bands, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator for different assets or market conditions.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
A momentum oscillator with a shortened period (default: 5) for increased sensitivity.
Confirms buy signals when RSI is oversold (default: <30) and sell signals when RSI is overbought (default: >70).
Signal Logic
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the lower band of the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope and RSI is below the oversold threshold. Marked by a green circle and a "BUY" label below the candle.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the upper band and RSI is above the overbought threshold. Marked by a magenta circle and a "SELL" label above the candle.
Background Zones: Green (buy) or red (sell) translucent zones highlight signal areas for quick recognition.
Visual Features
Dynamic Colors: The central trend line shifts between cyan (uptrend), purple (downtrend), or gray (neutral) based on price position relative to the mean.
Neon Gradient Fill: A translucent blue fill between the upper (green) and lower (red) bands creates a glowing, futuristic effect.
Modern Signal Markers: Small, vibrant circles (green for buy, magenta for sell) and clear labels enhance visual clarity.
Why This Combination?
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope combines RSI, ATR, and Nadaraya-Watson Envelope to create a robust trading tool:
RSI provides momentum confirmation, filtering out false signals in choppy markets.
ATR ensures the envelope adapts to changing volatility, making it suitable for both trending and ranging markets.
Nadaraya-Watson Envelope offers a sophisticated, non-linear alternative to traditional bands (e.g., Bollinger Bands), capturing subtle price dynamics. Together, these components deliver a balanced approach to trend-following and mean-reversion strategies, with RSI acting as a gatekeeper to improve signal reliability.
Customize Settings:
RSI Period (5): Adjust for more/less sensitivity to momentum.
RSI Overbought/Oversold (70/30): Modify thresholds to tighten or loosen signal conditions.
ATR Period (14) and Multiplier (0.5): Tune volatility sensitivity.
NW Length (25), Bandwidth (8.0), Multiplier (3.0): Adjust the smoothness and width of the envelope.
Interpret Signals:
Buy: Look for green circles and "BUY" labels when price crosses above the lower band, confirmed by low RSI.
Sell: Look for magenta circles and "SELL" labels when price crosses below the upper band, confirmed by high RSI.
Use background zones to quickly spot active signal areas.
Combine with Other Tools:
Pair with support/resistance levels or volume analysis for additional confirmation.
Test signals on a demo account before live trading.
Originality
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope stands out due to:
Its innovative use of Nadaraya-Watson regression, a less common but powerful tool for non-linear trend analysis.
A unique visual design with neon gradients and dynamic colors, inspired by AI and futuristic interfaces, making it both functional and visually engaging.
A streamlined signal system that balances momentum (RSI), volatility (ATR), and trend (Nadaraya-Watson), reducing noise and enhancing trade precision.
Notes
Best suited for volatile markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks) where price swings create clear envelope breakouts.
Adjust input parameters to match your trading style (e.g., shorter RSI period for scalping, wider bands for swing trading).
Always backtest and validate signals in your specific market and timeframe before trading.

ATR % Oscillator - DolphinTradeBot1️⃣ Overview
🔸 This is a simplified version of ATR and TR that shows volatility as percentage changes , making it easier to compare two symbols.
🔸 The indicator compares the volatility of two different assets by calculating the percentage-based price ranges and their moving averages .
📌 This is especially useful for pair traders, as it helps identify which symbol is more volatile, allowing for strategic decisions based on relative movement rather than overall market direction.
2️⃣ How Is It Work?
🔸 For each symbol, it calculates the absolute percentage difference between either:
• Close and Open (net price change), or
• High and Low (daily price range).
🔸 The results are visualized as column bars — the taller the bar, the higher the volatility.
🔸 It also plots a moving average line (SMA) based on the selected range length.
📌 These calculations are independent of the chart you're on — they work purely based on the two selected symbols.
If no symbols are selected, it defaults to using the current chart's symbol.
3️⃣ How to Use It?
With this indicator, you can:
🔸 Compare the volatility between two assets.
🔸 Detect sudden volatility spikes that may signal upcoming momentum.
🔸 Support spread, arbitrage, or correlation-based strategies .
🔸 See which symbol is gaining market attention (a larger difference = more activity).
Example: Compare BTC vs ETH to see which one is dominating in terms of price action or volatility.
4️⃣⚙️ Settings
🔸 Symbol Settings
• Symbol-1 / Symbol-2: Choose the two assets to compare.
• Checkboxes: Enable/disable visibility for each symbol's data.
🔸 Calculation Settings
• Range Average: The number of bars used for the moving average.
• Calculation Source:
- Close-Open: Measures net price movement.
- High-Low: Measures total price range.
VoluTility🌊 VoluTility forecasts trend exhaustion, breakout pressure, and structural inflection by measuring volatility within the effort stream. Built on the concept of ATR applied to volume, it doesn’t read raw volume — it reveals whether that volume is stable, chaotic, or compressing ahead of a move. The goal is to detect structural setups before they resolve. The lower the timeframe, the greater the alpha.
🧠 Core Logic
A zero-centered histogram shows the deviation of smoothed volume from its own volatility baseline. Positive bars indicate expansion; negative bars signal compression. Color reflects rate-of-change in volume volatility. Opacity tracks effort/result strength — showing when moves are real or hollow.
The overlaid ribbon (EMA vs HMA) highlights rhythm shifts. Orange fill signals real expansion; yellow shows decay or absorption. Together, they expose pre-breakout compression and exhaustion tails before price reacts.
🏗️ Structural Read
On the 1H BTC chart shown, price coils into a shallow pullback, compressing within a narrow range marked by shrinking candle bodies and muted wick aggression. A sudden expansion candle breaks the coil cleanly, with no immediate rejection or wick reversion. Price holds above the breakout pivot, establishing a baseline for structural acceptance and shifting bias toward continuation.
🔰 Zone Descriptions
🔴 Volatile blowout
🟠 Clean expansion
🟡 Passive or absorbed effort
🟢 Steady-state rhythm
🔵 Compression coil
🧐 Suggested Use
VoluTility is expressly designed as an overlay for sub-pane indicators, where it acts as a second-order rhythm map — exposing hidden structural pressure within volume or volatility streams. When paired with volume (like ZVOL or OBVX), it highlights when flow is expanding with intent versus fading into noise. When layered over volatility signals (like ATR Turbulence or WIRE), it reveals whether expansion has real effort behind it — or is just structural slack.
It pairs especially well with the Relative Directional Index (RDI), where its histogram and ribbon offer early exhaustion signals before traditional trend or momentum fades appear. On raw momentum tools, it acts as a filter: softening false breaks and confirming pressure-backed continuation.
Run on 15m or lower charts for early entry cues or breakout anticipation. On 1H charts, use it to validate compression resolution or detect fatigue before structure turns. It doesn’t react to price — it forecasts readiness.

Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, or anyone analyzing volatility across multiple timeframes.
ATR Stop BufferThe ATR Stop Buffer indicator calculates the Daily Average True Range (ATR) and converts it into ticks based on the symbol's minimum price movement. It then displays the full ATR, 2% of ATR, and 10% of ATR in a clean table format, rounded up for simplicity. This tool is ideal for traders who want to set volatility-based stop-loss levels or buffers for their trades.
Key Features:
- Uses a 14-period Daily ATR for robust volatility measurement.
- Converts ATR into ticks for precise application across different instruments.
- Table display with toggle option for flexibility.
- Perfect for risk management and trade planning.
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Use the table values to adjust your stop-loss distances (e.g., 2% ATR for tight stops, 10% ATR for wider buffers).
3. Toggle the table off if you only need the values occasionally.
Note: Works best on instruments with defined tick sizes (e.g., futures, forex, stocks).
DD ATR ReadingsThe DD ATR Readings indicator displays customizable Average True Range (ATR) multiplier values directly on your chart. Unlike standard ATR indicators that only show a line, this indicator calculates and displays the exact numeric values for three different ATR multipliers, giving you precise volatility measurements for your trading decisions.

RSI + ADX + ATR Combo Indicator: RSI + ADX + ATR Combo Filter
This indicator is a confluence filter tool that combines RSI, ADX, and ATR into a single, easy-to-read chart overlay. It is designed to help traders identify low-volatility, non-trending zones with balanced momentum—ideal for strategies that rely on breakouts or reversals.
🔍 Core Components:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Standard RSI with custom upper and lower bounds (default: 60 and 40).
Filters out extreme overbought/oversold regions and focuses on price consolidation zones.
ADX (Average Directional Index)
Measures trend strength.
When ADX is below a custom threshold (default: 20), it indicates a weak or range-bound trend.
ATR (Average True Range)
Represents volatility.
Low ATR values (default threshold: 2.5) are used to filter out high-volatility environments, helping refine entries.
🟣 Signal Logic:
A signal is highlighted with a background color when all three conditions are met:
RSI is between lower and upper bounds (e.g., 40 < RSI < 60) ✅
ADX is below the trend threshold (e.g., ADX < 20) ✅
ATR is below the volatility threshold (e.g., ATR < 2.5) ✅
These combined conditions suggest a low-volatility, low-trend strength, and balanced momentum zone—perfect for anticipating breakouts or strong directional moves.
Chonky ATR Levels 2.0Show ATR based high/low projections.
Choose a custom ATR calculation in the indicator's settings.
The default is a 20day RMA based ATR.
----------How projections are calculated----------
To project the ATR High, the ATR value is added to the low of the current candle that matches the ATR's timeframe.
To project the ATR Low, the ATR value is subtracted from the high of the current candle that matches the ATR's timeframe.
Example:
If a 20day RMA ATR is used:
- the ATR High will be the current day's low + the ATR value.
- the ATR Low will be the current day's high - the ATR value.
*However*, if the price action exceeds either ATR projection, the opposite ATR level will be fixed to the extreme of the period.
See the AUDUSD screenshot above for an example.
The ATR Low was exceeded, so the ATR High projection is capped at the high of day.
If the ATR High is exceeded, the ATR Low would be capped at the low of day.
Rachas ATR AssistHey Traders!
This indicator is a simple, it uses Average True Range (ATR) data from the daily chart and the current timeframe to estimate potential range and volatility.
This indicator compares the daily ATR to the current daily wick range (from low to high), helping you gauge how much "room" might be left for price movement within the day. Alongside that, it shows the ATR over the last 14 candles and 5 candles on your current chart for intraday volatility awareness—ideal for setting stops, targets, or position sizing.
Gauge Daily Potential Movement:
The "Day Range Difference" cell shows how much of the expected daily range (based on ATR) is still unfilled. If the market has moved less than the average, there's still potential for expansion. If it's close to or above the ATR, expect a slowdown or reversal.
Position Sizing & Stop Losses:
Use the 14-period ATR and 5-period ATR on your current timeframe to understand recent volatility. This helps in choosing logical stop loss levels and adjusting position sizes based on market conditions.
Volatility Awareness:
Knowing the average daily range and how much of it has been used lets you avoid entering trades too late in the move or placing stops in overly tight spots.
Table Position & Font:
You can adjust the table location (top/bottom left/right) and font size to best fit your chart layout.

Cz ASR indicatorAverage session range indicator built by me. Great tool to gauge volatility and intraday reversal zones. Great for FX as there is an included table that shows range in pips; however, this can be applied across all assets as a volatility measure.
How it works:
The script measures the range of sessions, including Asia, London, and New York. The lookback period could be adjusted so you can find what length works best and is most accurate. This is then averaged out to provide the ASR. This provides us with an upper and lower bound of which the price could potentially fluctuate in based on the past session ranges. I have also added the 50% ASR, which is also a super useful metric for reversals or continuations.
There is also a configurable UTC so that you can adjust the indicator so it can accurately measure the range within certain sessions.
Note - different session start and stop times vary from market to market. I have set the code to the standard forex market opens however, if you wish to change the time ,you are able to do so by editing the variables in the script
Enjoy :)
ATR - Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon🧭 Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)
The Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR) is an enhanced and reimagined version of the standard Average True Range (ATR) indicator. It visualizes not just raw volatility, but the structure, momentum, and efficiency of volatility through a multi-layered visual approach.
It contains two distinct visual systems:
1. A zero-centered histogram that expresses how current volatility compares to its historical average, with intensity and color showing speed and conviction
2. A braided ribbon made of dual ATR-based moving averages that highlight transitions in volatility behavior—whether volatility is expanding or contracting
The name reflects its purpose: to capture asymmetric, evolving turbulence in market behavior, through structure-aware volatility tracking.
_______________________________________________________________
🔧 Inputs (Fibonacci defaults)
ATR Length
Lookback period for ATR calculation (default: 13)
ATR Base Avg. Length
Moving average period used as the zero baseline for histogram (default: 55)
ATR ROC Lookback
Number of bars to measure rate of change for histogram color mapping (default: 8)
Timeframe Override
Optionally calculate ATR values from a higher or fixed timeframe (e.g., 1D) for macro-volatility overlay
Show Ribbon Fill
Toggles colored fill between ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show ATR MAs
Toggles visibility of ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show Crossover Markers
Shows directional triangle markers where ATR EMA and HMA cross
Show Histogram
Toggles the entire histogram display
_______________________________________________________________
📊 Histogram Component: Volatility Energy Profile
The histogram shows how far the current ATR is from its moving average baseline, centered around zero. This lets you interpret volatility pressure—whether it's expanding, contracting, or preparing to reverse.
To complement this, the indicator also plots the raw ATR line in aqua. This is the actual average true range value—used internally in both the histogram and ribbon calculations. By default, it appears as a slightly thicker line, providing a clear reference point for comparing historical volatility trends and absolute levels.
Use the baseline ATR to:
- Compare real-time volatility to previous peaks or troughs
- Monitor how ATR behaves near histogram flips or ribbon crossovers
- Evaluate volatility phases in absolute terms alongside relative momentum
The ATR line is particularly helpful for users who want to keep tabs on raw volatility values while still benefiting from the enhanced visual storytelling of the histogram and ribbon systems.
Each histogram bar is colored based on the rate of change (ROC) in ATR: The faster ATR rises or falls, the more intense the color. Meanwhile, the opacity of each bar is adjusted by the effort/result ratio of the price candle (body vs. range), showing how much price movement was achieved with conviction.
Color Interpretation:
🔴 Red
Strong volatility expansion
Market entering or deepening into a volatility burst
Seen during breakouts, panic moves, or macro shock events
Often accompanied by large real candle bodies
🟠 Orange
Moderate volatility expansion
Heating up phase, often precedes breakouts
Common in strong trending environments
Signals tightening before acceleration
🟡 Yellow
Mild volatility increase
Transitional state—energy building, not yet exploding
Appears in early trend development or pullbacks
🟢 Green
Mild volatility contraction
ATR cooling off
Seen during consolidation, reversion, or range balance
Good time to assess upcoming directional setups
🔵 Aqua
Moderate compression
Volatility is clearly declining
Signals consolidation within larger structure
Pre-breakout zones often form here
🔵 Deep Blue
Strong volatility compression
Market is coiling or dormant
Can signal upcoming squeeze or fade environment
Often followed by sharp expansion
Opacity scaling:
Brighter bars = efficient, directional price action (strong bodies)
Faded bars = indecision, chop, absorption, or wick-heavy structure
Together, color and opacity give a 2D view of market volatility: Hue = the type and direction of volatility
Opacity = the quality and structure behind it
Use this to gauge whether volatility is rising with conviction, fading into neutrality, or compressing toward breakout potential.
_______________________________________________________________
🪡 Ribbon Component: Volatility Rhythm Structure
The ribbon overlays two moving averages of ATR:
EMA (yellow) – faster, more reactive
HMA (orange) – smoother, more rhythmic
Their relationship creates the ribbon logic:
Yellow fill (EMA > HMA)
Short-term volatility is increasing faster than the longer-term rhythm
Signals active expansion and engagement
Orange fill (HMA > EMA)
Volatility is decaying or leveling off
Suggests possible exhaustion, pullback, or range
Crossover triangle markers (optional, off by default to avoid clutter) identify the moment of shift in volatility phase.
The ribbon reflects the shape of volatility over time—ideal for mapping cyclical energy shifts, transitional states, and alignment between current and average volatility.
_______________________________________________________________
📐 Strategy Application
Use the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon to:
- Detect volatility expansions before breakouts or directional runs
- Spot compression zones that precede structural ruptures
- Visually separate efficient moves from noisy market activity
- Confirm or fade trade setups based on underlying energy state
- Track the volatility environment across multiple timeframes using the override
_______________________________________________________________
🎯 Ideal Timeframes
Designed to function across all timeframes, but particularly powerful on intraday to daily ranges (1H to 1D)
Use the timeframe override to anchor your chart in higher-timeframe volatility context, like daily ATR behavior influencing a 1H setup.
_______________________________________________________________
🧬 Customization Tips
- Increase ATR ROC Lookback for smoother color transitions
- Extend ATR Base Avg Length for more macro-driven histogram centering
- Disable the histogram for ribbon-only rhythm view
- Use opacity and color shifts in the histogram to detect stealth energy builds
- Align ATR phases with structure or order flow tools for high-quality setups
