[amibroker] Re: Volatility vs. STD?

["Ed Hoopes" <reefbreak_sd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Std Deviation has a value for a trending security.  In other words the
upward slope of a security - even if it is a smooth increase is viewed
as volatility.  

I think that ATR is a more accurate measure of the true volatility of
a stock.  That is why you see it used in indicators that require a
measure of volatility  - like a sell stop on a trade entry (usually
3*ATR(14), or the Chandelier exit used in ApplyStop.
