This script visualizes the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of a user-selected price point for a quick view of volatility.
ATR % values are plotted as a color-coded histogram. Bullish days (close > prior close) paint the bar green; bearish days (close < prior close) paint it red; unchanged days are gray.
Two simple moving average (SMA) overlays to reveal volatility trends.
Variables:
Histogram bars represent ATR as a % of one of:
- Previous Close (default option)
- Previous Open
- Today Close
- Today Open
Two SMA lines (default: blue for 20-period, orange for 5-period) shown on ATR % for trend/range regime tracking.
Optionally display the ATR % in continuous line (yellow)—hidden by default.
