This script (for now in beta release) is specifically designed for scalping or traders operating on lower timeframes (if you are in a timeframe of one minute wait one minute to collect statistics). Its primary purpose is to provide detailed insights into market volatility by calculating the ATR (Average True Range) and its percentage changes, allowing traders to quickly identify shifts in market conditions.
The ATR is calculated across six user-defined timeframes, which can include very short intervals such as 5 or 15 seconds. This setup enables real-time monitoring of volatility, which is critical for scalping strategies. The script collects a rolling history of the last five ATR values for each timeframe. These historical values are used to calculate percentage changes by comparing the current ATR with the oldest value in the history, offering a clear view of how volatility is evolving over time.
Percentage changes are displayed dynamically in a table, with color-coded feedback to indicate the direction of the change: green for increases, red for decreases, and gray for stability or insufficient data. This visual representation makes it easy to spot whether market volatility is rising or falling at a glance.
By progressively collecting data, the script becomes increasingly effective as more ATR values are accumulated. This functionality is especially useful for traders on lower timeframes, where rapid changes in volatility can signal breakout opportunities or shifts in market dynamics.
Soon I will update personalized ATR parameters, and lookback strategies for statistics.
