ATR Indices Technical Analysis and ATR Indices Trading Signals

Developed by J. Welles Wilder

This indicator is a measure of volatility - it measures the range of stock indexes price movement for a particular stock indexes price period. The ATR is a directionless indicator and it does not determine the direction of the Indices trend.

High ATR values

High Average True Range values indicated market bottoms after a selloff.

Low ATR values

Low Average True Range values showed extended periods of sideways stock indexes price movement- Indices Price Range, such as those found at market tops and consolidation periods. Low ATR values are typical for the periods of sideways movement of long duration which happen at the top of the stock indexes trading market and during consolidation.

Calculation

This indicator is calculated using the following:

• Difference between the current high and the current low

• Difference between the previous closing stock indexes price and the current high

• Difference between the previous closing stock indexes price and the current low

The final Average is calculated by adding these values and calculating the average.
