Updated Volatility Contraction
A very simple indicator which calculates the range of a definable period (the default is 5 bars) using a percentage range between the highest and lowest prices calculated from the candle bodies (i.e. open and close values). The plotted line makes it easy to see when price movement is tightening (volatility contraction). The dashed threshold line (default 10%) provides a reference point for setting alerts, helping to identify periods of low volatility (e.g. for stocks in your watchlist) that could signal upcoming market action.
