Trend Filter: An additional line representing a long-term Simple Moving Average (SMA) to help you identify the prevailing market trend.
User Inputs
Short and Long ATR Period: These allow you to define the length for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), used in the volatility ratio.
Short and Long StdDev Period: Periods for short-term and long-term standard deviation calculations.
Min and Max Volatility Ratio for Scaling: Scale the volatility ratio between these min and max values.
Fast and Slow SMA Period for Volatility Ratio: Periods for the fast and slow Simple Moving Averages of the scaled volatility ratio.
Trend Filter Period: Period for the long-term SMA, used in the trend filter.
Show Trend Filter: Toggle to show/hide the trend filter line.
Trend Filter Opacity: Adjust the opacity of the trend filter line.
Visual Components
Histogram: The scaled volatility ratio is displayed as a histogram. It changes color based on the ratio value.
Fast and Slow Moving Averages: These are plotted over the histogram for additional context.
Trend Filter Line: Shown when the corresponding toggle is enabled, this line gives an indication of the general market trend.
How to Use
Volatility Analysis: Look for divergences between the fast and slow MAs of the scaled volatility ratio. It can signal potential reversals or continuation of trends.
Trend Confirmation: Use the Trend Filter line to confirm the direction of the current trend.
Conclusion
The RVI_TF is a multi-faceted indicator designed for traders who seek to integrate both volatility and trend analysis into their trading strategies. By providing a clearer understanding of market conditions, this indicator can be a valuable asset in a trader's toolkit.
