About Average True Range.
Average True Range is one of the most used indicators in technical analysis and is used to measure volatility of the market sectors, stocks and other tradable securities. The other indicators that are used to measure volatility are Standard Deviation (Historical Volatility), Bollinger Bands®, Bollinger Bandwidth, and etc.
The Average True Range is based on the period's (price bar) True Range which is the biggest absolute value from [high - low], [high - previous close] and [low - previous close] for selected period (price bar).Respectfully, Average True Range is a moving average applied to True Range over selected number of periods. Average True Range in percents is calculated as ratio between ATR and average closing price for the same number of periods.
As was mentioned above, Average True Range is used in technical analysis to recognize and separate highly volatile indexes and stocks (riskier) from less volatile securities (more conservative). The other use of ATR is tracking changes in volatility of a security, as an increase in volatility would indicate uncertainly among traders and the possibility of Bearish trading, while decline in volatility would indicate stability and the possibility of Bullish trading.
