The Custom Length ATR Indicator calculates the Average True Range by analyzing price ranges and volatility across a selected timeframe. It determines the maximum price movement between high and low points, incorporating gaps and overnight price changes into its calculation.
By allowing traders to choose specific timeframe scales like daily or hourly, the indicator provides a more nuanced view of market volatility. The calculation considers the greatest value among three price range measurements: current period's high-low range, previous close to current high, and previous close to current low.
