Logarithmic Average True Range
In the case of ATR, it is known to represent volatility by simply expressing the price range.
However, of course, as the value of an asset increases, it is not possible to simply compare it with a numerical value, so the ATR was expressed as a percentage using a logarithmic function.
This way we can see the volatility even with ATR.
ATR의 경우 단순하게 가격의 범위만을 표현하여 변동성을 나타낸다고 알려져있습니다.
하지만 당연하게도 자산의 가치가 높아질수록 단순하게 수치만으로 비교할 수는 없고, 따라서 로그함수를 사용해 %로 ATR을 표현하였습니다.
이렇게 표현하면 ATR로도 변동성을 볼 수 있습니다.

Volatility OscillatorThis tool displays relative volatility and directional trend. Excellent way to pickup diversions and reversals. Length can be lowered to 11 or 13 in settings to show price range.
Can be used to identify patterns such as parallel channels and likely direction of price action as pictured below.
Daily Risk RangesThis indictor creates daily Risk Ranges using historical volatility, volatility skew and vol-of-vol.
Volume DensityA group of two indicators:
The "Volume Density" shows how much volume was thrown out relative to the covered price range.
The "Volume Density Bars" shows the same, but with colour on top of the bar chart.
[RS]Detrended Percent Price Over Average on RangeExperimental:
Detrended Price oscillator from price against the average inside the range.
Time rangesThis script visualizes the different time sessions during the day.
The time ranges are set to the default Frankfurt, London, NY, Sydney and Tokyo, but can be
freely modified and turned off (I personally use to display only Tokyo and NY).
If you are a day trader, e.g. you trade with the Market Makers, this tool is a "must have".
It also displays the day of the week, which can be set off as well.

PS I chose this script to belong to the "volatility" category since it can be used to highlight the Asian session,
and there was no suitable category available.
New median and range expansionIndicator for starting chasing the trend early.
Indicates new higher or lower candle median in conjunction with greater range.
Average True Range (ATR %) Stop Loss CalculatorThis indicator takes the average of a series of ATR to calculate what I would consider an optimum stop loss placement represented in percentage (read below for full overview).
While the data is plotted what is most helpful are the actual numbers presented and for my charts I remove most of the plotting.
This indicator is most helpful on the daily timeframe but can be used for all timeframes such as the 4HR, 1HR or even 15M.
This indicator should not be used alone. It should be used in conjunction with proper price action analysis. It’s also a great indicator if you chart using Value Channels. Ideally you want your stop placement to be below at least one core Value Channel boundary range. In addition to standard support and resistance and some key moving averages the market respects. This also works best when trading with the prevailing BIAS of the instrument (bull or bear).
Cryptos: Generally, that means you’re buying on retracements that fit the end of a structured move. The other option is using this in a clear up trending market where the pull backs are clearly being supported with buying.
FOREX: I built another indicator for FOREX search: ATRPIPS with SL
WTI: Helpful but I have different rules for when I trade WTI. I rely upon VCs and diagnal VCs much more when trading this.
Equities: Helpful but with the increase of volatility as well as uncertainty of Bias of the market-- this should be used as more of a guide than
What is most important is the actual percentage numbers but I've found graphing 1-3 of the actual ATRs is helpful. The rest just uncheck the checkbox in the options.
Indicator Overview:
Value 1 - 3 Period ATR (maroon)
Value 2 - 7 Period ATR (green)
Value 3 - 30 Period ATR (blue)
Value 4 - 90 Period ATR (blue, bold)
Value 5 - 1 Period ATR (green)
Value 6 - 1 Period ATR (red)
Value 6 – Prime Stop Loss Placement (maroon). This is the average of all above ATRs multiplied by 1.5
Value 7 - Move Left (red). Experimental value. This is the difference between (prime stop loss) and 1 day period move. Two ways to use this value. Use as a tighter stop loss placement. The other option is to use as a retrace target for purchase and using the Prime Stop Placement value as you’re stop loss.
All ATRs use the LOW price of the period. After testing both the low and close I’ve settled on the low to capture the most volatility you will typically experience.
Once again, this indicator should be used in conjunction with your proven trade system.
Also, by knowing what the values are within the indicator you could just eye ball what would be the best stop placement depending on the ATR or 1 or 2 ATRs you find most represent the volatility of what you are trading.
I will be expanding on this indicator by bringing in average measured moves as well as volume analysis and most likely with color changes and modifications.
Background:
While using and refining my trade system I've noticed that most moves happen in 3 periods. So we start there. The 7 period is good for a 24 hour market such as crypto (although weekend trading can be a hit or miss) and to some extent FOREX. The longer periods of 30 & 90 are to smooth out the data set. The final value of the 1 period is to bring a little more recency to the calculation.
Why multiply the average by 1.5? I've found in my own trading and system I built to be the best placement (in conjunction with VCs) to ensure you're stop isn't to close and is within the instrument you are trading volatility .
I'm looking at making this more intelligent as well as take into account volume and structured moves.
ATR 0.5 & 0.7 rangesIt good to look to ATR on intraday trading.
According to our team research only 4.8% of days security goes out of their ATR.
So we developed ATR indicator which shows Daily ATR ranges on smaller time frames.
When price crosses 70% of previous day ATR is good to look for signal to trade backward.
Breakout Scalper (Session)This is a twist on my on my Breakout Scalper strategy that limits trading to a user-configurable session
Find the original "Continuous" version of the scalper here:
The breakout scalper is based on "slow" and "fast" donchian periods. In this version, the "slow" donchian is in fact the Day's high/low. This important difference means that we will always be entering our trades at the day's high or low, so you are exposed to the price making new highs/lows but not to oscillations within the day's range.
Furthermore, the scalper is modified to only enter trades after the start of the user-configured session. Any open trades are closed at the end of the user-configured session. The default session is set to 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM because that's when I like to trade.
0.382 Fibonacci Line of Trailing 1-year Price RangeYou may try adding this Line to your daily charts. It represents the 0.382 Fibonacci level of the trailing 1-year Price Range.
If price is above this line, then it is in Bullish Territory and long entries can be looked for.
According to backtesting I've done, price being above the 0.382 Fibonacci and/or the 200d sma are the 2 best determinants of
qualifying an equity to be in Bullish Territory on the daily chart.
SD - Developing Central Pivot RangeThis script implements a developing version of Central Pivot Range.

Trend dealing rangeHi all!
This indicator will help you find the current dealing range according to the trend. If the trend is bullish the indicator will look for a range between the latest low pivot to the latest high pivot. Vice versa in a bearish trend. The code uses my new library 'FibonacciRetracement' () that has the same code as my other indicator 'Fibonacci retracement' ().
It plots 5 lines from the low to the high and labels them 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %. A trendline can be drawn between the two pivots (dashed and gray by default). Firstly you can define the pivot lengths used, this setting is in the 'Market structure' section but it also applies to the dealing range (it defaults to 5 (left) and 2 (right)). You can show prices if you want to (shown in parantheses, off by default). You can change the default labels position (from left) and the font size (12 by default and higher up it's 7 for market structure text). Lastly you can change the alert frequency (defaults to once per bar close) and the price that has to enter a zone for alert to be sent. 'Close' means that the closing price (or current price if you change the alert frequency to all or once per bar) has to be inside the zone and 'Wick' means that the entire candle needs to be inside the zone.
It's very useful for traders to find the current dealing range and this indicator will help you to do so.
So, this indicator will give you the dealing range and basic market structure through break of structures and change of characters.
If you have any input or suggestions on future features or bugs, don't hesitate to let me know!
Best of trading luck!

Daily Distribution Range - Amplitude Probability DashboardSummary
This indicator provides a powerful statistical deep-dive into an asset's daily distribution range, amplitude and volatility. It moves beyond simple range indicators by calculating the historical probability of a trading day reaching certain amplitude levels.
The results are presented in a clean, interactive dashboard that highlights the current day's performance in real-time, allowing traders to instantly gauge if the current volatility is normal, unusually high, or unusually low compared to history.
This tool is designed to help traders answer a critical question: "Based on past behavior, what is the likelihood that today's range will be at least X%?"
Key Concepts Explained
1. Daily Amplitude (%)
The indicator first calculates the amplitude (or range) of every historical daily candle and expresses it as a percentage of that day's opening price.
Formula: (Daily High - Daily Low) / Daily Open * 100
This normalization allows for a consistent volatility comparison across different price levels and time periods.
2. Cumulative Probability Distribution
Instead of showing the probability of a day's final range falling into a small, exclusive bin (e.g., "exactly between 1.0% and 1.5%"), this indicator uses a cumulative model. It answers the question, "What is the probability that the daily range will be at least a certain value?"
For example, if the row for "≥ 2%" shows a probability of 12.22%, it means that historically, 12.22% of all trading days have had a total range of 2% or more. This is incredibly useful for risk management and setting realistic expectations.
Core Features
Statistical Dashboard: Presents all data in a clear, easy-to-read table on your chart.
Cumulative Probability Model: Instantly see the historical probability of the daily range reaching or exceeding key percentage levels.
Real-Time Highlight & Arrow (→): The dashboard isn't just historical. It actively tracks the current, unfinished day's amplitude and highlights the corresponding row with a color and an arrow (→). This provides immediate context for the current session's price action.
Timeframe Independent: You can use this indicator on any chart timeframe (e.g., 5-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour), and it will always fetch and calculate using the correct daily data.
Clean & Professional UI: Features a monospace font for perfect alignment and a simple, readable design.
Fully Customizable: Easily adjust the dashboard's position, text size, and the amount of historical data used for the analysis.
How to Use & Interpret the Data
This indicator is not a trading signal but a powerful tool for statistical context and decision-making.
Risk Management: If you see that an asset has only a 5% historical probability of moving more than 3% in a day, you can set stop-losses more intelligently and avoid being overly aggressive with your targets on a typical day.
Setting Profit Targets: Gauge realistic intra-day profit targets. If a stock is already up 2.5% and has historically only moved more than 3% on rare occasions, you might consider taking profits.
Options Trading: Volatility is paramount for options. This tool helps you visualize the expected range of movement, which can inform decisions on strike selection for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Identifying Volatility Regimes: Quickly see if the current day is a "normal" low-volatility day or an "abnormal" high-volatility day that could signal a major market event or trend initiation.
Dashboard Breakdown
→ (Arrow): Points to the bin corresponding to the current, live day's amplitude.
Amplitude Level: The minimum amplitude threshold. The format "≥ 1.5%" means "greater than or equal to 1.5%".
Days Reaching Level: The raw number of historical days that had an amplitude equal to or greater than the level in the first column.
Prob. of Reaching Level (%): The percentage of total days that reached that amplitude level (Days Reaching Level / Total Days Analyzed).
Settings
Position: Choose where the dashboard appears on your chart.
Text Size: Adjust the font size for better readability on your screen resolution.
Max Historical Days to Analyze: Set the lookback period for the statistical analysis. A larger number provides a more robust statistical sample but may take slightly longer to load initially.
Enjoy this tool and use it to add a new layer of statistical depth to your trading analysis.
Opening Range BreakoutThis indicator is designed for Opening Range Breakout (ORB) traders who want automatic calculation of breakout levels and multiple price targets.
It is optimised for NSE intraday trading, capturing the first 15-minute range from 09:15 to 09:30 and plotting key breakout targets for both long and short trades.
✨ Features:
Automatic daily reset — fresh levels are calculated every trading day.
Opening Range High & Low plotted immediately after 09:30.
Two profit targets for both Buy & Sell breakouts based on the opening range size:
T1 = 100% of range added/subtracted from OR high/low.
T2 = 200% of range added/subtracted from OR high/low.
Clear breakout signals (BUY / SELL labels) when price crosses the OR High or Low.
Custom alerts for both buy and sell triggers.
Designed to work on any intraday timeframe (1min, 3min, 5min, etc.).
📊 How it works:
From 09:15 to 09:30, the script records the highest and lowest prices.
At 09:30, the range is locked in and breakout targets are calculated automatically.
Buy and Sell signals are generated when price breaks above the OR High or below the OR Low.
Targets and range lines automatically reset for the next day.
⚠️ Notes:
This script is tuned for NSE market timings but can be adapted for other markets by changing the session input.
Works best on intraday charts for active traders.
This is not financial advice — always backtest before trading live.
Twin Range Filter – Buy/Sell SignalsThe Twin Range Filter is a trend-following indicator that combines two adaptive volatility filters to identify potential market reversals and trend continuations. It uses two configurable smoothing periods (fast and slow) to calculate a dynamic range around price, filtering out market noise and highlighting meaningful shifts in direction.
This indicator plots BUY and SELL signals based on price action in relation to the range filter, as well as internal trend conditions.
✅ How It Works:
Long Signal (BUY) is triggered when:
Price is above the filtered range (showing strength), and
Short-term upward momentum is confirmed.
Short Signal (SELL) is triggered when:
Price is below the filtered range (showing weakness), and
Short-term downward momentum is confirmed.
The signals are highlighted using green "Long" and red "Short" labels on the chart.
Background colors reinforce the current directional bias.
🔔 Alerts:
Long Signal – A new BUY condition has been detected.
Short Signal – A new SELL condition has been detected.
📌 Use Cases:
Entry timing for swing or intraday trades
Trend confirmation filter
Signal generator in automated strategies (when paired with a strategy script)
