OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Study: Candle MA Distance (ATR)
Simple script that plots price to MA distance (ATR) as a bar chart.
ATR is being used here instead of % because ATR keeps it relative to current volatility (1ATR move in either direction can have very different % for when price at 20cent and 2 dollars).
Upper/Lower band is calculated based on the average of previous peak/trough. Price approaching the band could signal overextended in the short term movement, expect price to consolidate/retrace to the MA.
Caution: if the indicator shows the price "pulled back" to MA, the actual price could still go up (or down), just a little slower then the MA
Adjustable Settings:
- Plot as bar or line
- MA Type and Length
- ATR Length
