Moving Average Volatility
Measures the volatility of every candle (High-Low range, volume, or their product) and smooths it with a fan of up to 10 moving averages at different periods — the fan expanding upward = the market waking up, contracting downward = calming down.
The volatility of every candle — by High-Low range, volume, or their product — is smoothed with a set of averages. You don't guess whether the market is active or asleep, you read it off the chart.
Up to 10 averages at different periods: short ones catch a spike instantly, long ones hold the overall volatility trend. One glance and it's clear whether the market is accelerating short- or long-term.
The fan expands — volatility is rising, a move is more likely; it contracts — the market has gone quiet, signals are often false. It tells you when to enter and when to stand aside.
All windows drop and converge at the bottom — volatility is low across every horizon. While the fan is compressed, the market is asleep: signals from other indicators are more often false, you wait for expansion.
A fast MA (small period) crosses a slow one from below — short- and long-term volatility have diverged. This is a signal that the character of volatility is shifting.
From every candle it takes volatility — High-Low range, volume, or their product; you choose the calculation mode.
The value feeds into up to 10 moving averages at different periods — each window produces its own line.
A small period is a sharp bright line (catches the spike), a large one is a smooth thick base: together a fan in the oscillator window below the candles.
Fan up — volatility is rising (the market wakes up), down — it calms down, lines crossed — the character has shifted.
The thin bright line is the fast MA (small period, catches the spike instantly), the thick muted one is the slow MA (large period, a smooth base). Lines diverging — momentum, converging — a lull.
After 5–6 quiet candles the fan is compressed at the bottom, then all windows (10/20/50) rise together — a volatility surge. Entry into the trend on rising volatility, not in a quiet range.
A trader trades with the trend and wants to enter when the market wakes up: in a quiet range a strong move isn't worth waiting for, and price alone doesn't show a volatility spike in advance.
- Sets Candle High mode — the fan measures price volatility by the range of the candles
- Configures three windows with periods 10, 20, and 50 — short-, mid-, and long-term volatility
- Waits for the fan to start expanding upward across all windows at once
- Enters a position with the trend when volatility is rising in sync across all horizons
The volatility calculation mode (High-Low range, volume, or their product) and up to 10 window periods — from a sharp 1-bar to a smooth 100-bar — tuned to your instrument and timeframe.
