The DataDoodles ATR Range indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR) based on the previous bar's close price, creating multiple volatility range levels. It generates three distinct ATR levels above and below the close price: 1ATR, 2ATR, and 3ATR, which represent potential price movement boundaries.
Additionally, the indicator applies an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the ATR values, creating a smoother representation of volatility trends. These ranges are color-coded and visually plotted on the chart, allowing traders to quickly interpret potential support and resistance levels based on recent market volatility.
