Using Standard Deviation to Flag Changes in Market Volatility

Summary

The Juice indicator is described as a standard deviation measure compared with a fixed threshold. Readings above or below that level indicate whether measured price dispersion is elevated or subdued relative to the chosen benchmark. Its purpose is to show changing volatility conditions rather than forecast whether prices will rise or fall.

The document gives no formula details, threshold-selection guidance, market examples, or performance tests. It also does not specify how to pair the reading with an entry or exit strategy. Its practical takeaway is therefore limited but clear: treat the measure as a volatility-state filter, and combine it with separate directional logic if directional decisions are needed.

Key ideas

• Juice compares a standard deviation reading with a fixed reference level.
• The comparison is intended to flag relatively higher or lower volatility.
• The indicator does not provide directional signals by itself.
• The document gives no evidence on threshold choice or trading performance.
