Statistics About The Average True Range Indicator
The Average True Range indicator is a measure of volatility that calculates the average range between high and low prices over a specified period, commonly used to identify potential price movement in financial markets.
In this post, we explore the Average True Range (ATR) indicator, a key tool in analyzing market volatility. Developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978, the ATR provides valuable insights into market conditions by measuring volatility rather than predicting price direction. Traders commonly use ATR values to inform their decision-making process and manage risk effectively.
