Volatility

Volatility is a statistical indicator that measures the volatility of a trend.

Plotting the volatility indicator results in two lines appearing on the chart.

1 – Green line that shows the volatility

2 – The red line is the average line of the volatility indicator

Whenever the volatility indicator is above its average line, it indicates that volatility is increasing. When the volatility indicator is below its average line, it shows that volatility is declining and the trend is strong.
