Displaying Volatility Values Across Multiple Timeframes
Summary
This document describes a chart indicator that displays volatility values for a user-selected period across multiple timeframes. The values appear together in a text block, allowing a trader to inspect volatility readings from several chart intervals without switching views. The display can be customized by changing the text size and font, and unused timeframes can be hidden.
The document describes presentation and configuration features rather than a volatility calculation method or trading strategy. It does not define the underlying volatility measure, explain how to interpret the readings, or provide examples, tests, or evidence that the display improves decisions. It also states a limit on how many indicator instances can be shown at once. Users would need to consult the original indicator or its implementation to understand the calculation and determine whether the displayed values suit their analysis.
Key ideas
- The indicator presents user-period volatility readings for multiple timeframes in a text block.
- Users can adjust the text size and font.
- Unused timeframes can be hidden from the display.
- The document does not specify the volatility formula or provide trading guidance or performance evidence.
