Updated ATR X-Power
ATR X-Power is a simple graphical representation of Average True Range.
The ATR is calculated on a daily basis and averaged over the "Length" specified in settings (default is 14 days).
At the start of the day, the starting price is recorded and five horizontal lines are drawn which illustrate possible ranges for the day:
The final two lines are drawn using the ATR half values in such a way that a X is formed. The X represents possible motion of the price back to starting price (also known as reversion to mean). The two lines are drawn as follows:

The ATR is calculated on a daily basis and averaged over the "Length" specified in settings (default is 14 days).
At the start of the day, the starting price is recorded and five horizontal lines are drawn which illustrate possible ranges for the day:
- Starting price
- Starting price + ATR (+100%)
- Starting price - ATR (-100%)
- Starting price + ATR/2 (+50%)
- Starting price - ATR/2 (-50%)
The final two lines are drawn using the ATR half values in such a way that a X is formed. The X represents possible motion of the price back to starting price (also known as reversion to mean). The two lines are drawn as follows:
- Beginning at (Starting Price + ATR/2) and ending at (Starting Price - ATR/2)
- Beginning at (Starting Price - ATR/2) and ending at (Starting Price + ATR/2)
Use cases:
- ATR presents us with the average amount of price fluctuation we can expect to see in a single day on a specific instrument
- If price is near the extremes (+/-100% ATR) for the day, then probability of it moving outside that range is low, which increases odds of a reversal
Bugs?
Kindly report any issues you run into and I'll try to fix them promptly.
Thank you!
