ATR%, ATR Timer and Range Expansion signalThese 3 indicators can be really useful.
The usage is fairly straightforward, if you understand price action, having an statistical edge like these provide can be useful.
Refer to Tim West's charts to learn more about range expansion bars.
The idea for the Atr% and Atr timer come from discussions I had with Yacine Kanoun, props to him for his contribution.
D-ATR
ATR Pips [LazyBear]This is ATR in pips. This was requested by user @ElixiumCapital. ATRPIPs in his words:
"ATR PIPs is useful for finding markets with your desired amount of volatility, for example I prefer to trade forex pairs with the highest amount of volatility in the past 5 days, setting the length parameter to 5 days. And setting my stop loss at 25% to 33% of the the indicators value."
I have added options to show a BB around ATR, as well as normal ATR (not in PIPs). All the parameters are configurable.

Daily ATR%If You are using a percentage of the Daily Average True Range in determining your stop placement,
this quick indicator is for You.
excerpt from investopedia.com/articles/trading/06/stopplacement.asp
ATR % Stop Method
The ATR% stop method can be used by any type of trader because the width of the stop is determined by the percentage of average true range (ATR). ATR is a measure of volatility over a specified period of time. The most common length is 14, which is also a common length for oscillators such as the relative strength index (RSI) and stochastics. A higher ATR indicates a more volatile market, while a lower ATR indicates a less volatile market. By using a certain percentage of ATR, you ensure that your stop is dynamic and changes appropriately with market conditions.
For example, for the first four months of 2006, the GBP/USD average daily range was around 110 to 140 pips. A day trader may want to use a 10% ATR stop - meaning that the stop is placed 10% x ATR pips from the entry price.In this instance, the stop would be anywhere from 11 to 14 pips from your entry price. A swing trader might use 50% or 100% of ATR as a stop. In May and June of 2006, daily ATR was anywhere from 150 to 180 pips. As such, the day trader with the 10% stop would have stops from entry of 15 to 18 pips while the swing trader with 50% stops would have stops of 75 to 90 pips from entry.
Average True RangeThe Default Average True Range doesn't appear to be accurate, not sure why. Rewrote it, hopefully it works better for everyone than the original.
Flex Renko Emulatorupdate:
As far as my algorithm design will take me this is it. So It's complete in my eyes. Here is a "working" version of something I've been looking for for a long time: "Flex" Renko Charting.
Bricks' sizes are determined by ATR and are set by simply choosing a resolution for the ATR calculation. No need to go in and choose renko granulation(resolution) AND brick size. Renko granulation is current chart resolution. Feel free to send me feedback on how to manage the reversal bricks' calculation or any other thoughts and ideas.
Replace the "close" in the main body of the renko calculation with 'high' and 'low' to get more consistent paintings across different aggregations since renkos aren't technically based off closing prices but where the price has been. Of course it's all a matter of preference:
Brick1 = high >
nz(Brick1) + BrickSize ? nz(Brick1) + BrickSize : low <
nz(Brick1) - BrickSize ?
nz(Brick1) - BrickSize
: nz(Brick1)
WMA BandsIn this chart we can see an adaptation I made of an indicator a certain fellow named nanningbob uses in one of his trading systems.
It's a great thing to have, since Forex pairs are mostly ranging markets. It captures price movement very well, and gives realistic take profit levels, without having to risk major drawdown if used wisely.
Hope you like it and find it useful.

CM ATR Stops/Bands - Multi-TimeFrameCM_MTF ATR Bands/Stops
Many Options Available Via Input Tab:
-Chart Defaults to Upper and Lower ATR's Based on Current Chart TimeFrame
-Ability to Plot either Upper and/or Lower ATR's
-Ability to Change the Time Frame ATR's are Based On!
-Ability to change Look Back Period and ATR Multiplier Individually for Both Time Frames
-This Gives you the ability to plot same Time Frame with (for ex.) a 5 ATR with a 1.5 Mult and a 14 ATR with a 2.0 Mult etc.
-Or you can plot Daily ATR's on a 60 minute Chart etc.
-ATR Multipliers are Calculated with Code that allows "Non Whole Numbers" Allowing Ability to use 1.5 ATR's, 1.8 ATR's etc.
***Endless # of Combinations can be used!!!!
CM ATR PercentileRankCM ATR PercentileRank - Great For Showing Market Bottoms.
When Increased Volatility to the Downside Reaches Extreme Levels it’s Usually a Sign of a Market Bottom.
This Indicator Takes the ATR and uses a different LookBack Period to calculate the Percentile Rank of ATR Which is a Great Way To Calculate Volatility
Be Careful Of Using w/ Market Tops. Not As Reliable.
***Ability to Control ATR Period and set PercentileRank to Different Lookback Period
***Ability to Plot Histogram Just Showing Percentiles or Histogram Based on Up/Down Close
Fuchsia Lines = Greater Than 90th Percentile of Volatility based on ATR and LookBack Period.
Red Lines = Warning — 80-90th Percentile
Orange Lines = 70-80th Percentile

Indicator: Custom COG channelThis is my custom channel (Bear Channel!? :)) derived from BB/STARC. It uses both ATR/STDEV for plotting the bounds.
I use COG (Center of Gravity) for deriving the baseline. This enables it to track the price action better than many other channels that make use of MAs or simply "close". Indicator also marks "squeezes" (stdev bands come inside ATR bands). Pay attention to these, as these usually indicate a move.
I am still exploring this indicator on different BTCUSD time frames, would love to hear your feedback / setups for other instruments.
