[blackcat] L1 Volatility Quality Index (VQI)
The Volatility Quality Index (VQI) is an indicator used to measure the quality of market volatility. Volatility refers to the extent of price changes in the market. VQI helps traders assess market stability and risk levels by analyzing price volatility. This introduction may be a bit abstract, so let me help you understand it with a comparative metaphor if you're not immersed in various technical indicators.
Imagine you are playing a jump rope game, and you notice that sometimes the rope moves fast and other times it moves slowly. This is volatility, which describes the speed of the rope. VQI is like an instrument specifically designed to measure rope speed. It observes the movement of the rope and provides a numerical value indicating how fast or slow it is moving. This value can help you determine both the stability of the rope and your difficulty level in jumping over it. With this information, you know when to start jumping and when to wait while skipping rope.
In trading, VQI works similarly. It observes market price volatility and provides a numerical value indicating market stability and risk levels for traders. If VQI has a high value, it means there is significant market volatility with relatively higher risks involved. Conversely, if VQI has a low value, it indicates lower market volatility with relatively lower risks involved as well. The calculation involves dividing the range by values obtained from calculating Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a factor/multiple.
The purpose of VQI is to assist traders in evaluating the quality of market volatility so they can develop better trading strategies accordingly.
Therefore, VQI helps traders understand the quality of market volatility for better strategy formulation and risk management—just like adjusting your jumping style based on rope speed during jump-rope games; traders can adjust their trading decisions based on VQI values.
The calculation of VQI indicator depends on given period length and multiple factors: Period length is used to calculate Average True Range (ATR), while the multiple factor adjusts the range of volatility. By dividing the range by values and multiplying it with a multiple, VQI numerical value can be obtained.
VQI indicator is typically presented in the form of a histogram on price charts. Higher VQI values indicate better quality of market volatility, while lower values suggest poorer quality of volatility. Traders can use VQI values to assess the strength and reliability of market volatility, enabling them to make wiser trading decisions.
It should be noted that VQI is just an auxiliary indicator; traders should consider other technical indicators and market conditions comprehensively when making decisions. Additionally, parameter settings for VQI can also be adjusted and optimized based on individual trading preferences and market characteristics.
