Title: Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry Zones

Introduction
The Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) indicator is designed to highlight tight price consolidation zones, making it an ideal tool for traders seeking optimal entry points before potential breakouts. By focusing on tightness rather than general volatility, RMV offers traders a practical way to detect consolidation phases that often precede significant market moves.

How RMV Works
The RMV calculates short-term tightness by averaging three ATR (Average True Range) values over different lookback periods and then normalizing them within a specified lookback window. The result is a percentage-based scale from 0 to 100, indicating how tight the current price range is compared to recent history.

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Three ATR values are computed using user-defined short lookback periods to represent short-term price movements. An average of the ATRs provides a smoothed measure of current tightness.
2. The RMV normalizes this average against the highest and lowest values over the defined lookback period, scaling it from 0 to 100.

This approach helps traders identify consolidation zones that are more likely to lead to breakouts.

Key Features of RMV

• Multi-Period ATR Calculation: Uses three ATR values to effectively capture market tightness over the short term. Normalization: Converts the tightness measure to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretation.
• Dynamic Histogram and Background Colors: The RMV indicator uses a color-coded system for clarity.

How to Use the RMV Indicator

1. Identify Tight Consolidation Zones:
   a - RMV values between 0-10 indicate very tight price ranges, making this the most optimal zone for potential entries before breakouts.
   b - RMV values between 11-20 suggest moderate tightness, still favorable for entries.
   
2. Monitor Potential Breakout Areas:
   As RMV moves from 21-30, tightness reduces, signaling expanding volatility that may require wider stops or more flexible entry strategies.
   
3. Adjust Trading Strategies:
   Use RMV values to identify tight zones for entering trades, especially in trending markets or at key support/resistance levels.
   
4. Customize the Indicator:
   a - Adjust the short-term ATR lookback periods to control sensitivity.
   b - Modify the lookback period to match your trading horizon, whether short-term or long-term.
