ATR Percentage with Baseline is a volatility indicator that expresses the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of price, making it easier to compare volatility across different price levels. The indicator features two lines:
A short-term ATR percentage (default 5 periods, red line) showing current volatility
A longer-term baseline ATR percentage (default 50 periods, gray line) showing historical or normal volatility levels
This configuration helps traders identify when current volatility is deviating from typical levels. Optional features include displaying the raw ATR value, zero line, and background coloring. All components can be toggled on/off through the indicator settings.
Primarily useful for:
Comparing volatility across different price levels
Identifying periods of abnormal volatility
Adjusting position sizes based on current market conditions
Setting dynamic stop levels
