Volume Weighted Volatility Regime
The Volume-Weighted Volatility Regime (VWVR) is a market analysis tool that dissects total volatility to classify the current market 'character' or 'regime'. Using a Linear Regression model, it decomposes volatility into Trend, Residual (mean-reversion), and Within-Bar (noise) components.
Key Features:
Seven-Stage Regime Classification: The indicator's primary output is a regime value from -3 to +3, identifying the market state:
+3 (Strong Bull Trend): High directional, upward volatility.
+2 (Choppy Bull): Moderate upward trend with noise.
+1 (Quiet Bull): Low volatility, slight upward drift.
0 (Neutral): No clear directional bias.
-1 (Quiet Bear): Low volatility, slight downward drift.
-2 (Choppy Bear): Moderate downward trend with noise.
-3 (Strong Bear Trend): High directional, downward volatility.
Advanced Volatility Decomposition: The regime is derived from a three-component volatility model that separates price action into Trend (momentum), Residual (mean-reversion), and Within-Bar (noise) variance. The classification is determined by comparing the 'Trend' ratio against the user-defined 'Trend Threshold' and 'Quiet Threshold'.
Dual-Level Analysis: The indicator analyzes market character on two levels simultaneously:
Inter-Bar Regime (Background Color): Based on the main StdDev Length, showing the overall market character.
Intra-Bar Regime (Column Color): Based on a high-resolution analysis within each single bar ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'), showing the micro-structural character.
Calculation Options:
Statistical Model: The 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option (enabled by default) uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to perform the decomposition. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead).
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates an Exponential Regression Curve (log-space).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all volatility calculations.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: The entire dual-level analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Integrated Alerts: Includes 22 comprehensive alerts that trigger whenever the 'Inter-Bar Regime' or the 'Intra-Bar Regime' crosses one of the key thresholds (e.g., 'Regime crosses above Neutral Line'), or when the 'Intra-Bar Dominance' crosses the 50% mark.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.
