Also one of my favorite indicators. Very simple and easy to use. Essentially volatility bands with a technical analysis pattern, the triangle/wedge, which I have called "contraction signal". Put simply: When price is written in blue, volatility overall is falling. When the outer bands start to fatten up in blue, a contraction signal is forming. Works with any length of your choosing.
