This is the migration of the CandleVolatilitIndex from MT4.
The indicator works as following:
Step 1: The "Volatility Value" is calculated by applying a moving average to the change of the selected source (default: 10-Period-SMA applied to the change from last close to this close -> SMA(close-close[1] , 10) ) Step 2: The signal line is calculated by applying a moving average onto the "Volatility Value" calculated in step 1.
The default settings are the same as in the original MT4 version.
Visualization:
The histogram shows the "Volatility Value" calculated in step 1.
Case 1: The value is above the signal line (blue bar) -> Volatility is given
Case 2: The value is below the signal line (grey bar) -> Volatility is not there
This is intended to be used as a Volume/Volatility Indicator for a NNFX-System but can be used in any strategy.
