Eric,

Have you tried the Relative Volatility Index indicator in the indicator list? I attached some screen shots of it on NYSE. Also have you thought of the VIX or VXN as a guide of the market's volatility. I attached a chart of VIX and NYSE so you can see how I compare them for entry/exit. Of course I would suggest using more than just one indicator because as you can see on the charts with just the RVI it would be hard for me to trust with getting so many false signals or none at all.

Thank you very much for suggestions

I would like to define the scale on volatility, therefore, I will
know the current volatility levels based on historical data. I would
like to define the range for volatility between 0 and 100.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions
Eric
