Average True Range Refurbished
💡 Objective
This script is a rebuild of the pre-existing ATR indicator, with improvements and fine-tuning.
🪄Improvements
1. Normalization option (range 0 to 100)
2. Optional calculation of the ratio between current volatility and average volatility
3. Optional smoothing
4. Show a moving average
5. Show Bollinger Bands with 3 bands
6. Change bar colors according to ATR and Bollinger Bands
📚 Definition
'The Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility. Unlike many of today's popular indicators, the ATR is not used to indicate the direction of price. Rather, it is a metric used solely to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.'
