pATR (Percentile Average True Range) is a volatility indicator that enhances the traditional Average True Range (ATR) by applying a percentile-based filter to recent true range values. This approach provides a statistically grounded measure of price movement intensity, filtering out noise and extreme events for clearer volatility signals. The indicator uses circular buffer logic for optimized speed and memory efficiency, ensuring no lag in data processing.
Key features include an orange volatility line with intuitive scaling and overlay options, compatibility across multiple timeframes from 1-minute to 1-hour charts, and suitability for prop firm traders managing drawdowns and trade limits. pATR helps traders identify breakout zones, fade setups, and risk thresholds with precision.
Use cases cover breakout confirmation through volatility spikes, risk calibration by aligning stop-loss and position sizing with percentile volatility, and strategy backtesting using consistent volatility benchmarks. The indicator is designed for prop firm traders, scalpers, intraday strategists, quantitative traders integrating percentile logic, and educators focusing on volatility-aware execution.
Supported markets include Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, making pATR a versatile tool for various trading environments.
