Hi guys,
 
In an attempt to use the ATR in 
"Personality"recognition, I made a slight mod to the ATRindicator. I 
would appreciate your commentsand suggestions. (Don't hold any 
punches)Is this a useful tool ?
Anyone else please feel free to 
comment,

"GMVolatility" climbs just beforethe "V" bounce reversals in the 
QQQ.
 
Description: The standard 
Average True Range (ATR) indicator is only useful as a reference over 
the period which it is set. As the stock price climbs or drops 
significantly, previous ATR value are useless when compared to current 
values. This makes it impossible to set ATR thresholds in software 
systems. The GM Volatility indicator divides the ATR value by 
the average close price over the same period, thereby showing range 
volatility as a percentage of the average price regardless of time or $ 
value. Values less than 3 are normal while value greater than 
5 indicate high daily volatility. The GM_Volatility indic. is useful at 
all times and floats between 0 and +10% regardless of price 
change over time.
 
 Generally, a value less than 3% 
indicates LOW volatility. Values above 5% indicate HIGH 
volatility.
 
EG: A value of 2% means that the 
Low-to-High    fluctuates 2% of the average 
price    over the last 14 days. (lower 
volatility)
 
    A value of 7% means 
that the Low-to-High    fluctuates 7% of the average 
price    over the last 14 days. (Higher 
volatility)*****************************************************/                       

 
GM_Vol = (MA(ATR(14),5) / 
MA((H+L/2),14))*100;Graph0 = GM_Vol;Graph1 = 
MA(GM_Vol,10);
