Average True Range (ATR)

ATR BandsIn many strategies, it's quite common to use a scaled ATR to help define a stop-loss, and it's not uncommon to use it for take-profit targets as well. While it's possible to use the built-in ATR indicator and manually calculate the offset value, we felt this wasn't particularly intuitive or efficient, and could lead to the potential for miscalculations. And while there are quite a few indicators that plot ATR bands in some form or another already on TV, we could not find one that actually performed the exact way that we wanted. They all had at least one of the following gaps: The ATR offset was not configurable (usually hard-coded to be based off the high or low, while we generally prefer to use close) It would only print a single band (either the upper or lower), which would require the same indicator to be added twice The ATR scaling factor was either not configurable or only stepped in whole numbers (often time fractional factors like 1.5 yield better results) To that end, we took to making this enhanced version to meet all of the above requirements. While we were doing so, we decided to take this opportunity to also make some non-functional enhancements as well: Updated the indicator to the most recent version of Pine Updated the indicator definition to allow alternate (non-chart) timeframe usage Made the input types explicitly defined to improve consistency Updated the inputs with appropriate minimum values and step sizes where appropriate Separated settings into logical groups Added helptext to the indicator settings noting usage and common settings values Explicitly titled the on-chart plots of the ATR bands so that they can more easily be identified and referenced in other indicators/scripts, as well as the Data Window Food for thought : When looking at some of the behaviors of these ATR bands, you can see that when price first levels out, you can draw a "consolidation zone" from the first peak of the upper ATR band to the first valley of the lower ATR band that price will generally respect. Look for price to break and close outside of that zone. When that happens, price will usually (but not always) make a notable move in that direction, which can be used as either a potential trigger or as an additional confluence with other indicators/price action. Finally, while we have made what we feel are some noteworthy updates and enhancements to this indicator, and have every intention of continuing to do so as we find worthy opportunities for enhancement, credit is still due to the original author: AlexanderTeaH

Average True Range - ImprovedAverage True Range - Improved is a small variation I have made to the standard ATR indicator. It will test the current ATR against the Historic Average ATR of your preference to see if the current volatility is high or low. Once it has determined if it is high or low it will color code the circles at the top based on this information. Green means the current volatility is low and red means the current volatility is higher than the historic average. In the settings I have also placed a couple styles, if you wish to show the ATR and Historic ATR in percent format instead of normal you can turn them on in the style settings. If you are using the percent format I recommend setting the Precision to 2-3 decimal places. I hope you all enjoy this indicator, if you have any questions please feel free to post them in the comments.

Average True Range (VStop) GuppyThis script allows Volatility Stop, an average true range-based indicator, to be plotted like a "Guppy" multiple moving average indicator. Backtesting results seem pretty good when a solid majority of the lines are in agreement. Of course, as is customary with my scripts, the user can select the length, source, and multiple for any of the ATR lines plotted and customize the visuals how they want. Value added: As far as I know, there aren't any ATR-based indicators that quite do this -- setting up a "Guppy" actually seems to help quite a lot with seeing the overall big picture & capturing the meat of a trend.

IR% - Intraday Range (% or $)Shows the percentage difference between the High and Low of the price bar expressed as a percent of the Open of that bar. In the settings, you can change to Price Change instead of percent change. This will show the price change between the High and Low for each price bar. It can be used on any time frame. I use it on the daily chart . I note the daily figure, and that lets me know how far the price tends to move during a typical day (no gaps included). If using on another time frame other than the daily, then it is an intrabar calculation, not intraday. Apply a moving average to it to see the average intraday movement after the open when using a daily chart . The IR% of a 1-minute chart tells you the price range of that one-minute price bar, and a weekly chart will show the price range of each weekly price bar. It only measures high to low versus the candle's open price. It does not include gaps between candles, which makes it different than the ATR. ATR is more useful for swing trading, where the trader may be holding through gaps in price, and thus wants to factor them in. The IR% is useful for day traders because it shows how much a stock tends to move during the day (intraday range), when using a daily chart . ATR is not as effective for this because it includes gaps, which day traders can't generally capitalize on. If the IR% is fluctuating between 5% and 10% over the last 50 days or so (on the daily chart ), day traders know that AFTER the open, the price is likely to move 5% to 10% from high point to low point. This can help with establishing profit targets, seeking out stocks that tend to move a lot within the day, or avoid these types of stocks if they are undesirable to you. Seek out low IR% stocks if you prefer lower movement during your selected time frame. A stock may have an ATR% of 5% but ATR doesn't tell us if that movement occurred after the open or includes a gap. Some stocks are prone to gaps. They may gap 4% most days, and then only move 1% during the day. This will still be a 5% ATR%, but most of that movement ISN'T capturable each day. The IR% for this stock would only be 1%, not 5% like the ATR suggests. I developed this because I like day trading volatile stocks, and I wanted a measure that ONLY includes movement during the day, and doesn't include price gaps in the calculation. Because as a day trader, gaps don't matter to me. I can only make money on what happens during the day, after the open. It is similar to another indicator called Average Day Range (ADR). Although most ADR calculations are already calculated as an average (so I don't see each individual value) or plots things on the chart. This may be useful for some people, but I wanted to see the data on each price bar, have the option to add a moving average or not, and not have anything plotted on the price chart. It also nice to be able to flip from % to $ dollar movement if desired.

Fusion: ATR Ranging using PercentileA simple (but improved on my first attempt) way to determine a ranging market. The defaults are for a specific use of my own so by no means feel a need to use them, adjust as needed. By default this sits on the main chart however if you want to see the lines behind the result make a copy and put the copy on it's own chart and then just check the "Show ATR" and "Show PLI" (Percentile Linear Interpolation) flags. There is no reason for using a Hull MA over any other except that it's a preference of mine, that is, it's not for some magical reason I figured out. That said, the Hull is perhaps my favorite because of what I learned about it after quite a bit of research so take that as you will. Credit to: "Hull Suite by InSilico" from which I used the HMAs. The code is structured to easily drop into bigger system so use as a lone indicator or add to some bigger project you are creating. If you do add this to a bigger system please drop me a note as it's nice to know your system is being used in something greater. Finally, if you find value please do make a comment, give thumbs up etc. Enjoy and good luck!

ATR Drift %This script plots an histogram calculated this way: Get the previous ATR sample, calculated in the specified timeframe Get the actual open price of the bar in the specified timeframe minus the actual price in the current timeframe and plots the percent change between the the 2 values For example, if you select DAY as timeframe for the ATR: Plots the percent change between: - ATR(daily) from yesterday and - open from today - actual price Due to Tradingview limitations, only shows the plot if the actual timeframe of the graphic is equal or lower that the ATR selected timeframe The background changes shows a new ATR sample taking place I'm testing this for scalping in 5M timeframe with the ATR in 4H All my published scripts at: es.tradingview.com

intraday_bondsStatistics for assisting with intraday bond trading, using five minute periods and one hour ranges. There are two tables, a volatility table and a correlation table. The correlation table shows the correlation of five minute returns (absolute) between the four different bond contracts that trade on the CME. The volatility table shows for each contract: - The current realized volatility, based on the previous one hour of realized volatility. This figure is annualized for easy comparison with options contracts. - The current realized volatility's z-score, based on all available data. - The tick range of an "N" standard deviation move over one hour. Choose "N" using the stdevs input. - The previous hour's true range (high - low). The ranges are expressed in ticks.

ADR in 0.5 / 1 / 3 / 5top of the morning! This indicator is a tiny bit different then the previous one i published. As per my little study into the ATR, i have decided to remove it out of my indicator and instead put in a half an ADR in dollar vallue. For me, i can use this value to check at what level i would like my stop. The next evolvement of this indicator might be a total new one since i'd be one for a lower timeframe with the 0.5 and 0.3 adr down from current high otd. Hope you enjoy it, Peace

EMA/Session/ATR/LotSizeSeveral indicators combined 1. 6 Exponential Moving Averages - Identifying the trend direction or using EMAs as a dynamic support/resistance. 2. Session on Chart - Highlighting session for day trading. London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney. 3. Average True Range - display the Average True Range on recent price to calculate the volatility. 4. Lot Size Calculator - to calculate lot size based on account balance, risk per trade, atr stop-loss, and art multiplier. 5. ATRX - ATRX is an indicator that gives the value of the (close price - EMA 27)/ATR (14) It tells how strong the trend is compared to its volatility According to AJ. BANK FTMO Trader Thailand, if the value of ATRX is between 2X-3X or -2X-3X, you should consider trading using climax zone on timeframe H1. If the ATRX is more than 3X or less than -3X but does not exceed 4X or -4X, you should consider trading using timeframe M15 in the climax zone. However, if the ATRX exceeds 4X or -4X, use M5 instead.

SuperJump Turn Back Bollinger BandThis is a simple indicator using bolinger band return. After the candle's bolinger band broke out, Turn back inside BB is the entry point. Usually there are more than two triangles, so you can wait after ordering a better price. As you already know about it, it is very dangerous for the bolinger band to enter in the reverse direction when a strong trend is created. That's why I made the Red Line. It is calculated by ATR and will suggest you an appropriate StopLoss value.

Seth_Signal This script designed to identify up, down, and sideways trends. 200 HMA , 9 EMA , PSAR, and ATR are used to identify the strength of any instrument. Candle Colors - Simpler approach to follow: Green color indicates for up side trade signals Red color indicates for down side trade signals Yellow color can be interpreted for stop, sideways, and counter trade trade signals Multiple Trade Setups: Green Zone - Trading green candles within green zone has better odds of long trades Red Zone - Trading red candles within red zone has better odds of short trades 200 HMA - Candles above 200 HMA mostly for long trades. Candles below 200 HMA usually for short trades. But the zone also very important to consider 9 EMA - Cross over above 200 HMA in Green zone, look for long trades. Cross over below 200 HMA in red zone, look for short trades PSAR - This can be used as potential initial warning sign. Also can be used to exit partial or wait for it goes to opposite side for taking trade decisions Candle Above all - If Green candle and above all the indicators, then very good sign of long side. If red candle and below all indicators, then very good sign of short side. Multiple Time Frame: This works very well with any instrument and on any time frame. Always its better to do analysis on multi time frame before entry, exit, and trade execution. Back test it with this setup and also observe it on live market. That will give edge in taking trade decisions. All the best and happy trading.

SuperTrend OptimizerHello! This indicator attempts to optimize Supertrend parameters. To achieve this, 102 parameter combinations are tested concurrently - the top three performers are listed in descending order. Parameters, Factor: Changes to this parameter shifts the tested factor range. For instance, increasing the factor measure from 3.00 to 3.01 (+0.01) will remove 3.00 from the tested range - this setting controls the lower threshold of the range. The upper threshold, in all instances, is the lower Factor threshold + 3.3 (i.e. 3.0(lower) - 6.3(upper), 4.0(lower) - 7.3(upper), 2.5(lower) - 5.8(upper)) ATR period: Changes to this parameter shifts the tested ATR period range. For instance, increasing the ATR measure from 10 to 11 (+1) will remove 10 from the tested range - this setting controls the lower threshold of the range. The upper threshold, in all instances, is the lower threshold + 2 (i.e. 10(lower) - 12(upper), 11(lower) - 13(upper), 9(lower), - 11(upper)) The Factor parameter is modifiable to any positive decimal number; the ATR parameter is modifiable to any positive integer. Changing either parameter shifts the tested parameter combination range. Both parameters can be changed in the settings, to which you control the lower threshold of the range. If, for instance, you were to change the Factor measurement from 3.0 to 4.1 (+1.1) the 4.0 Factor measurement, and all Factor measures less than 4.0, will be excluded from the performance test. Consequently, a Supertrend test will be performed with a Factor of 4.1 and an ATR period of 10 (default). This test repeats at 0.1 Factor intervals and 1.0 ATR intervals. Therefore, assume you modify the Factor lower threshold to 3.1 and the ATR lower threshold to 10. The indicator will test three Supertrend systems with a Factor of 3.1 and an ATR period of 10.. then 11.. 12, then three systems with a Factor of 3.2 and an ATR period of 10.. then 11.. 12... until (lower Factor threshold + 3.3) and (lower ATR threshold + 2) are tested... which in this example is... a Factor of 6.4 and an ATR period of 12. The tested Factor range and ATR range are displayed in a bottom right table alongside the top performing parameter combinations. Of course, you can change the the lower thresholds, which means you can test numerous Supertrend parameter combinations! However, no greater than 102 parameter combinations will be tested simultaneously; the best performing Supertrend parameters are plotted on the chart automatically. I will be working on this indicator more tomorrow! Let me know if you have questions or anything you would like included! (I of course added something fun in the script. Be sure to try it with bar replay!)

4c ATR ThresholdThe 4C ATR Threshold is a simple indicator that paints the chart background red when the ATR goes below the user defined ATR minimum. Some trading setups have specific criteria that require a minimum ATR on a certain timeframe for the instrument to be playable. The painting of the chart background based on the ATR value is useful as a quick visual reference. The minimum ATR value can be adjusted to any specific level for any timeframe. If the ATR dips below the user defined minimum, the trader can quickly see that the ATR is below the minimum criteria, and should not trade that instrument (based on their personal trade criteria). If the background is not painted by the indicator, then the ATR is above the user defined minimum. Parts of this script used the default/stock Tradingview ATR indicator to build from.
