ATR% | Volatility Normalizer

2 сент.

This indicator measures true volatility by expressing the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of price. Unlike basic ATR plots, which show raw values, this version normalizes volatility to make it directly comparable across instruments and timeframes.

How it works:

Uses True Range (High–Low plus gaps) to capture actual market movement.

Normalizes by dividing ATR by the chosen price base (default: Close).

Multiplies by 100 to output a clean ATR% line.

Smoothing is flexible: choose from RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA.

Optional Feature:
For comparison, you can toggle an auxiliary line showing the average absolute close-to-close % move, highlighting the difference between simplified and true volatility.

Why use it:

Track regime shifts: identify when volatility expands or contracts in % terms.

Compare volatility across different markets (equities, crypto, forex, commodities).

Integrate into risk management: position sizing, stop placement, or volatility filters for entries.

Interpretation:

Rising ATR% → expanding volatility, potential breakouts or unstable ranges.

Falling ATR% → contracting volatility, possible consolidation or range-bound conditions.

Sudden spikes → market “shocks” worth paying attention to.

Информация о релизе

This script provides a normalized volatility framework by plotting:

1. ATR% (True ATR ÷ Price × 100)

• Uses True Range (high–low, gaps, closes).
  
• Normalized as % of price for easier comparison across instruments and timeframes.
  

2. Avg |ΔClose%|

• The average absolute close-to-close % change.
  
• A simplified volatility proxy to contrast with ATR%.
  

How it works

• The script calculates both series over a user-defined period (default 14 bars).
  
• ATR smoothing can be chosen (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA).
  
• By comparing ATR% against Avg |ΔClose%|, the script highlights whether volatility is dominated by intraday ranges (ATR% > Avg |ΔClose%|) or by close-to-close moves (ATR% ≈ Avg |ΔClose%|).
  

How to use it

• Expansion regime (ATR% > Avg |ΔClose%| by wide margin): signals increased intraday/gap volatility. Trend traders should allow wider stops or reduce size; mean reversion traders should be cautious.
  
• Contraction regime (ATR% ≈ or crosses below Avg |ΔClose%|): volatility calming, ranges tighten, swing/mean-reversion setups become cleaner.
  
• Useful in portfolio monitoring — if many watchlist stocks show expansion at once, your portfolio is in a higher-risk regime.
  

Integration with Screener / Watchlists

• This script’s outputs are compatible with TradingView’s Pine Screener.
  
• Add your portfolio tickers into a Watchlist, then display ATR% and Avg |ΔClose%| columns for each instrument.
  
• This allows you to:
  
• • Scan your portfolio daily for volatility regime shifts.
    
  • Set alerts when multiple tickers cross into expansion simultaneously.
    
  • Track which instruments are running “hot” (ATR% >> Avg |ΔClose%|) and which are calmer.
    

This turns the indicator from a chart-only tool into a portfolio risk dashboard, helping traders monitor volatility in real time across many instruments.

Why it’s useful

• Normalizes volatility so you can compare risk across assets.
  
• Provides actionable insight into regime shifts that raw ATR or close-to-close metrics alone don’t show.
  
• Helpful in portfolio risk management — identify when multiple positions simultaneously shift into high-vol regimes.
