Definition of 'Average True Range - ATR'
ATR is a measurement of volatility. It was introduced by Welles Wilder in his book: 'New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems'.
The 'true range' is the greatest of the following:
Current high less the current low |
Absolute value of the current high less the previous close |
Absolute value of the current low less the previous close |
The average true range is a moving average (generally 14 day) of the true ranges.
Welles Wilder originally developed the ATR for commodities but the indicator can also be used for stocks, indices and FX.
The FX AlgoTrader Multi-Currency Rangle Analyzer allows a trader to see market volatility at a macro level and consequently select the optimum pairs to focus attention on for trade selection.

Be aware that the analyzer indicates immediate strength based on the frequency differential between new highs/lows. You should not take the analyzer output in isolation as a trading signal. It should be used in conjunction with proper forex trade entry principles. The non-descretionary entry above was not well timed as the market subsequently retraced to retest the previous support level which then became resistance. A discretionary trade was placed at 1.54452 which went straight into profit. A discretionary approach will substantially reduce risk
