Advanced Wave Statistics Scanner
The Advanced Wave Statistics Scanner is an enhanced MQL5 tool for MetaTrader 5 that combines traditional price volatility analysis with ATR(Average True Range)indicator analysis.This sophisticated tool provides deeper insights into market volatility patterns by comparing standard price wave measurements with ATR-based volatility metrics,enabling traders to identify abnormal market conditions and potential trading opportunities with greater precision.
#Key Features
-Multi-symbol Scanning:Analyze volatility across multiple trading instruments
-Dual Volatility Analysis:Combines high-low range analysis with ATR indicator
-Automatic ATR Thresholds:Self-adjusting volatility thresholds based on market conditions
-Advanced Wave Categorization:Classifies waves by size and ATR relationships
-Visual Progress Display:Real-time progress indicators during analysis
-Enhanced Time Filtering:Precise control over analysis periods and days
-Comprehensive Visualization:Color-coded identification of different volatility types
-Detailed Data Export:Extended CSV output with ATR correlation data
-Anomaly Detection:Identifies unusual volatility events compared to historical norms
#Technical Approach
The tool extends the base wave scanner functionality by incorporating the ATR indicator,which provides a more nuanced view of volatility by considering gaps and previous bar relationships.It calculates automatic thresholds based on historical ATR values,allowing for more context-aware volatility analysis that adapts to different market conditions.
Installation
1.Download the WaveStatisticsScanner_Advanced.ex5 file
2.Open MetaTrader 5 platform
3.Navigate to File→Open Data Folder
4.Place the file in the MQL5/Scripts folder

Interpreting Results
-Chart Visualization:
-Red vertical lines show significant price waves
-Blue vertical lines indicate ATR anomalies
-Labels display the wave size or ATR value
-Dual-colored areas indicate where both high volatility and ATR anomalies occur
-Experts Log:
-Check the"Experts"tab for detailed statistics
