Average True Range (ATR)

Objective Analysis of Spread (VSA)Note: Pardon for a busy chart. It really is irrelevant for this indicator. Just look at the bottom part of the chart for the indicator (SpAn). This script is meant to add objectivity to the estimation of spread in VSA. This is best used with a similar volume indicator that measures volume in the same fashion, but a simple rule of "higher/lower than the previous 2 bars" for estimation of volume size can be used as well in conjunction with this indicator. A 30-period (adjustable) SMA difference between the high and the close is used to estimate average spread. This value is used to plot bands of 0.8 and lower (blue) standard deviation for narrow spread, 0.8-1.3 (yellow) for medium spread, 1,3-1.8 (green) for wide spread, 1.8-3 (red) for ultra-wide spread. Anything above 3 (no color) is plain crazy. =) How to use: A histogram of each bar spread is plotted as well. See where each histogram bar ends. For example, if it ends in the green area, this bar has a wide spread. Added indicator: An ATR (14-period, adjustable) is plotted as a black line for your reference. May be used for stops. Otherwise, it is not necessary for VSA. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Volatility Based Momentum (VBM)The Volatility Based Momentum (VBM) indicator is a variation on the rate-of-change (ROC) indicator. Instead of expressing momentum in a percentage gain or loss, VBM normalizes momentum using the historical volatility of the underlying security. The VBM indicator offers numerous benefits to traders who orient their trading around volatility. For these traders, VBM expresses momentum in a normalized, universally applicable ‘multiples of volatility’ (MoV) unit. Given the universal applicability of MoV, VBM is especially suited to traders whose trading incorporates numerous timeframes, different types of securities (e.g., stocks, Forex pairs), or the frequent comparison of momentum between multiple securities. The calculation for a volatility based momentum (VBM) indicator is very similar to ROC, but divides by the security’s historical volatility instead. The average true range indicator (ATR) is used to compute historical volatility. VBM(n,v) = (Close - Close n periods ago) / ATR(v periods) For example, on a daily chart, VBM(22,65) calculates how many MoV price has increased or decreased over the last 22 trading days (approximately one calendar month). The second parameter is the number of periods to use with the ATR indicator to normalize the momentum in terms of volatility. For more details, there is an article further describing VBM and its applicability versus ROC.

ADR - Average Daily Range [@treypeng] [v2] This is an intraday indicator. Average Daily Range provides an upper and lower level around the daily open. It is calculated by taking an EMA/SMA average of a given number of previous days' True Range. It can be useful for helping guide support and resistance, for taking profits and for placing stops. It's a similar idea to the ATR indicator, but calculated on a daily timeframe only. Settings: Length: number of days to take an average from Offset: Set this to 0 to include today's range. Set to 1 to exclude today. Set to 2 to exclude today and yesterday.....and so on. The other settings should be self explanatory :)

Renko CandlesticksRenko charts are awesome . They reduce noise by only painting a brick on the chart when price moves by a specified amount up/down. When the price reverses, it must go twice the specified amount before a brick is painted. Time is not a factor, just price movement. Sometimes however, you want the pros of a renko chart, but on a regular candlestick chart. This indicator attempts to do just that. A band is placed around price action showing the upper and lower bounds of what would be the current renko brick. The band only goes up/down when the price action itself moves up/down by the amount you specify. There are several ways of specifying the amount: Fixed Price Amount: As the name says, you enter the brick size amount, i.e. the amount the price has to move before being in a new brick. % of Price: This method will calculate the amount the price has to move as a percentage of the price itself. This way as price goes up/down, your brick size will adjust accordingly. Recommended values would be around 1% or less. % of ATR: This option will make the brick size a percentage of the Average True Range. You can specify the ATR time frame to be different from your current time frame as well as the ATR length. For instance you could be on a 10 minute chart but specify the ATR to be daily with a length of 3 and a percentage amount of 15. This would make your brick size 15% of the Average True Range for the last 3 days. Recommended values are 10 to 20%. Use this indicator on any time frame, even the 1 minute as the renko bands span the price action the same way on any time frame easily letting you know whether or not the price has moved appreciably, regardless of how much time has passed. You can also set alerts easily, simply set the alert to crossing and choose “Renko Candlesticks” instead of “Value”. You will then see the options for the renko upper and lower bounds. Tested on Bitcoin with the following values: Fixed Price Amount: 30 ($30) % of Price: 0.45 (if Bitcoin is $7000 then the brick size would be $31.50) % of ATR: 15%, ATR Time Frame: 1D, ATR Length: 3 (3 days)
