Theory:

Originally volatility quality was invented by Thomas Stridsman, and he uses it in combination of two averages (original was published, with some more explanation, here: Volatility quality Stridsman).

This version:

It is not using averages for trend estimation, but is using the slope of the Volatility quality. In order to lessen the number of signals (which can be enormous if the VQ is not filtered), some versions similar to this are using pips filters. This version is using % of ATR (Average True Range) instead. The reason for that is that:

using fixed pips value as a filter will work on one symbol and will not work on another
changing time frames will render the filter worthless since the ranges of higher time frames are much greater than those at lower time frames, and, when you set your filter on one time frame and then try it on another, it is almost certain that it will have to be adjusted again
to avoid that this indicator is using ATR % for filtering and that automatically adjusts it to symbols and time frames

Usage:

You can use the color change as signals when using this indicator.
