How It Works
The indicator's logic is both simple and powerful. It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) to establish a baseline for recent market volatility. It then compares the range of the current bar (High - Low) to this baseline:
-
Spike Bar: A bar with a range significantly larger than the ATR (e.g., > 2.0x the ATR). This signals a sudden burst of momentum.
-
Squeeze Bar: A bar with a range significantly smaller than the ATR (e.g., < 0.5x the ATR). This indicates consolidation and indecision.
-
Normal Bar: A bar with an average range, representing typical market noise.
Why You Need This Indicator
The Volatility Bar Colorizer is designed for serious traders who want a distinct edge. It helps you:
