Rise Fall ATR MT4

1. What is this

        Rising volatility and falling volatility are not the same, whether it is academic research or actual testing has shown this point.

        The original ATR indicator is calculated by putting up and down fluctuations together. This indicator is to calculate separately the upward volatility and the downward volatility, which can better help you study the market.

2. Indicator description

         There are two modes for the calculation of this indicator, as shown in the following table:

        As shown in the table above. For example, in a sequence with a period of 6, there are 4 ups and 2 downs. Mode 1 does not fill the position with 0, so the period of ups and downs are changed to 4 and 2 respectively. Mode 2 fills the position with 0, so the period of ups and downs remains the same.

        Mode 1 only uses SMA for averaging calculation. Mode 2 can be calculated by a variety of averaging methods because the period is unchanged.
