Custom ATR with Paranormal Bar Filter Description: This indicator calculates a custom ATR (Average True Range) by filtering out bars with unusually large or small price ranges. It helps provide a more accurate measure of market volatility by ignoring outliers.
How it works: True Range Calculation:
The price range for each bar is calculated. Bars with ranges much larger or smaller than typical are excluded. Filtered ATR:
The ATR is calculated using only the bars that pass the filter. Current Bar Progress:
Measures how much the current bar has moved compared to the filtered ATR, based on the difference between its opening and closing prices. Display:
A line represents the filtered ATR. A table shows the filtered ATR, the current bar's range, and its progress relative to the ATR. Input Settings: ATR Period: Number of bars used to calculate the ATR. Filter Window: Number of recent bars used to determine the typical range. Filter Threshold: Sensitivity of the filter. A higher value allows more bars to pass. How to Use: Monitor Volatility:
Use the filtered ATR to understand market volatility while ignoring unusual price movements. Track Current Bar Progress:
See how much of the ATR the current bar has completed. Adjust Filter Settings:
Fine-tune the filter to match your trading timeframe and strategy. This indicator is designed for traders who want to track market volatility without being misled by extreme outlier bars.
