Volatility indicator

tonycarlisle

Currently I can only display the volatility for periods in terms of weeks. ie 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc. Is it not possible to display the volatility in terms of days, ie 1 day, 2 days, 3 days etc etc. This way I get a more current value, rather than a lagging indicator over a longer period.

It's not possible for now.

First just want to say LOVE THIS SITE!
The VI is showing volatility of pips per hour of the day.
Questions:

What time zone is this set at GMT, GMT +1?
Right now the VI is showing individual currencies, is there something to click for pairs.

Arnaud Hi Arnaud, would it be possible to add the TDI indicator in the list of indicators. My trading has improved massively since discovering your website, so to have the ability to use the TDI indicator will take my trading to another level. The have the scripts on Tradingview. Please kindly look into this and thank you for such an amazing tool to have created for the community.

Thank you 😊

It should be your own timeframe. And if it's not, it's GMT by default

Right now the VI is showing individual currencies, is there something to click for pairs.

Go there: https://www.mataf.net/en/me and select the instruments (pairs, currencies..) you want to follow in the Prefered instruments list

Hello Arnaud,

Is there any way to get 30 minutes with the Correlation Tool. Here is the reason why, I trade primarily the most volatile pairs "10 Weeks". Example: GBP/NZD there is not a whole lot that is written about the pair, so what I am doing is using the USD index and the US10YR. The difference between 15 minutes and 1 hour is night and day.

Or if you have any suggestions I would be mighty grateful.

Thank You

Arnaud

I can't for now as I don't have the raw 30min data. But it's definitely something I want to add: more timeframes

Hello first time poster. it would be nice to get an average line to easier see which days or hours are above/below the average volatility and how far above or below it is for that hour/day. thanks in advance!

If you did want to switch the time on the volatility tool, just switch the GMT time on your computer and the tool will read it

I have a question which relates to something that has been mentioned prior in this thread that pertains to the clock on the VI.
Can you please explain to me why the clock is set to GMT?
Everybody knows that the start of the FX trading day/week is (currently) 7am Sydney(GMT+9), which is London 10pm prev day, which is 5pm NY prev day.

You have created a really great tool here along with many others on your site, and it has only recently occurred to me that this tool attempts to show the ATR of all the Mondays, all the Tuesdays, all the Wednesdays etc, which would make it unique, and far more accurate. However, in order to use the VI in its current setup, 1/2 the volatility of the Monday for example, must be added to 1/2 the volatility of the Tuesday to get the correct Daily ATR reading. The next question of course is "which half?" Historically the Asian session has a low ATR whereas the London Session experiences at least greater volatility, so dividing the previous day's value by 2 is again, inaccurate?

I strongly believe that this adjustment to the settings of this tool will greatly enhance its usability and its accuracy.
Cheers

Binski I'll check if I can add this indicator.
