What this is
An ATR value of 12 points means very different things on EURUSD H1 and on gold M5. This indicator turns ATR into a percentile: the current ATR is ranked against the previous bars, and the result is plotted on a 0 to 100 scale with four bands. 20 means the market is quieter than 80 percent of the recent past; 90 means it is near the most volatile reading of the window.
What it does
Plots the percentile rank of ATR over a lookback window as a 0-100 oscillator with LOW / NORMAL / ACTIVE / HIGH bands and an optional regime-change alert.
- Percentile framing instead of a raw ATR line, so the same reading means the same thing on gold, EURUSD or an index.
- Runs on a single chart; it does not need to be the chart you trade from.
- No DLL calls. No external services. No network requests.
- No account, terminal, symbol or time limitation is embedded.

How to use it
- Attach the EA to a chart of the symbol you trade.
- Set the inputs to match your own risk approach. Defaults are deliberately conservative.
- Allow live trading in the Expert Advisors settings for this EA.
- Test on a demo account first. That is not a formality; the defaults are not tuned to your broker.
Notes
- Written for MetaTrader 4, any broker, any account currency. Sizing maths uses the symbol's own tick value.
- Works alongside other EAs, including with a magic number you choose, so it will not fight them for orders it does not own.
- It performs management and measurement only; it does not generate trading signals.
Honest limits
- This is a tool, not a strategy. It does not predict anything and it cannot make a losing method profitable.
- No performance figures are published for it because tools of this kind do not have a meaningful backtest curve of their own.
- If your broker quotes oddly (very wide spreads, non-standard tick values) verify the sizing on a demo account before using real funds.
Trading involves risk of loss. Nothing here is financial advice.
