Best Volatility Calculator (Multi Instruments)

2020年2月10日

Hello traders

A bit of context

Definition: Volatility is defined as the close of current candle - close of the previous N candle

This is an alternative version of my Best Volatility Calculator
The other version is displayed on a panel below. This one overlays on the chart using the "overlay=true" setting

This indicator shows the average volatility, of last N Periods, for the selected time frames and for 2 selected instruments.

You can select up to 2 timeframes with this version

Presented as Currency, Pip, percentage labels in a panel below.
Will calculate in real-time only for the current instrument on the chart.

The indicator is coded to not be repainting

Example

In the indicator screenshot, I used a lookback period of 1.
That compares the current candle close versus the previous one for the daily and weekly timeframe

Showing how the results look like using FOREX instruments (where using the PIPS labels make more sense than with cryptocurrency assets)



Best regards
