How it works

The Session and Instant Volatility Ticker calculates the Average True Range (ATR) across historical trading sessions, specifically focusing on a defined time window like 0200-0600. It computes the standard deviation of true range values to provide a comprehensive volatility metric. The tool continuously streams current ATR values, updating in real-time with each market tick.

By tracking both historical and current volatility, traders receive a dynamic representation of market movement. The ticker displays key volatility information including session ATR with one standard deviation, current ATR, previous true range, and remaining time in the current price bar.

It serves as a critical risk management tool, helping traders determine whether current market volatility aligns with their trading plan and risk tolerance.
