Volatility tools measure the size of price moves rather than their direction. Bands widen when the market gets busy and tighten when it goes quiet; ATR gives the average bar range in price.
Traders use them to size stops and positions as well as for signals. A stop placed a multiple of ATR away adapts to each market instead of using one fixed distance.
323 of these 2,503 scripts are marked Repaints, or read higher-timeframe data with lookahead on.
Before You Use One
Check the ATR or deviation multiplier it uses.
Use volatility to size stops, then size the position from the stop.
Compare quiet and busy sessions before you trust a squeeze signal.
