Rolling Volatility Indicator
Description :
The Rolling Volatility indicator calculates the volatility of an asset's price movements over a specified period. It measures the degree of variation in the price series over time, providing insights into the market's potential for price fluctuations.
This indicator utilizes a rolling window approach, computing the volatility by analyzing the logarithmic returns of the asset's price. The user-defined length parameter determines the timeframe for the volatility calculation.
How to Use :
Adjust the "Length" parameter to set the rolling window period for volatility calculation.
Ajust "trading_days" for the sampling period, this is the total number of trading days (usually 252 days for stocks and 365 for crypto)
Higher values for the length parameter will result in a smoother, longer-term view of volatility, while lower values will provide a more reactive, shorter-term perspective.
Volatility levels can assist in identifying periods of increased market activity or potential price changes. Higher volatility may suggest increased risk and potential opportunities, while lower volatility might indicate periods of reduced market activity.
Key Features :
Customizable length parameter for adjusting the calculation period and trading days such that it can also be applied to stock market or any markets.
Visual representation of volatility with a plotted line on the chart.
The Rolling Volatility indicator can be a valuable tool for traders and analysts seeking insights into market volatility trends, aiding in decision-making processes and risk management strategies.

Directional Volatility Index (DVI) - SoldiDirectional Volatility Oscillator
What the DVI does is it measure 9 different volatility models based on their directional correlation and then scores that. While it calculated the volatility it also measures and scores 5 different indicators to find the likeliness of a retail position. That way the Oscillated value being plotted is that of an accurate modelled nature. This indicator aims to measure and score the directional volatility across the 9 different volatility models and then plots it as an oscillator. Included in that calculation is a measure of the likeliness of a retail traders position.
This can be used to gauge liquidity sweeps in a strategy like Smart Money Concepts. As, all the retail money is long - expect a sweep of the lows or equal highs. etc. more so you can also use this as a market meter like RSI , if the market is Over bought or Over sold, the DVI value will be over 100 or under -100 - or this tool can be used to gauge the underlaying trend!
Examples

- as you can see there is significant trend when the DVI is crossed
