Our custom developed Forex ATR Python Indicator. The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period. Specifically, ATR is a measure of volatility.
Explained ATR Indicator
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The average true range is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Average true range (ATR) is a technical indicator measuring market volatility.
- It is typically derived from the 14-day moving average of a series of true range indicators.

Feel free to use this indicator together with our other technical indicators (oscillators, momentum) or price action methods to maximize your trading accuracy.
