House of Traders: ATR vs Day Trading Range and PercentageThis indicator compares the current Daily ATR (Average True Range) with the current Day Range and displays the percentage difference.
For example, if the Daily ATR is $5 and the current Day Range is $10, this would be 200% of the ATR value.
The indicator is color-coded (and customizable) to change color based on the percentage difference:
Orange when the Day Range is below the low threshold.
Green when the Day Range is between the low and high thresholds.
Red when the Day Range exceeds the high threshold.
The ATR calculation is always based on the Daily timeframe, regardless of the chart's timeframe. For example, if you are using a 30-minute chart, the ATR is still calculated from the Daily timeframe.

ATR PercentageThe ATR is a great indicator, but for me, it does not define the volatility of an asset I am looking at well enough. So I've adjusted it to be displayed as the usual ATR and a percentage of the closing prince (which to me tells a better story). I find this useful if I am looking through many assets and have to create a quick picture of volatility.
Indicator Definition: The script starts by defining an indicator named "ATR Percentage" that will be displayed in a separate pane (not overlayed on the price chart).
Input for ATR Period: The user can set the period for calculating the ATR through an input field.
ATR Calculation: The ta.atr function calculates the Average True Range based on the specified period.
ATR Percentage Calculation: The ATR value is converted to a percentage of the current closing price using (atrValue / close) * 100.
Plotting:
The script plots both the ATR value and its percentage on the chart.
A horizontal line at zero is added for reference.
Label Display: An optional label displays the current ATR percentage at every 10th bar to avoid cluttering the chart.
Background Color: A light blue background is added to visually separate the ATR indicator from other indicators.
ATR vs Day Trading Range and PercentageThis indicator displays the Current Daily ATR vs the current Day Range and displays the percentage.
For example if the Daily ATR is $5 and the current range of the day is $10 this would be 200% the original move.
It is color coded (and can be modified) to change color when the Daily range is over 100% the ATR.
The time frame can be changed from Daily just be aware you must be on a lower timeframe then selected. So if you want to compare the current 30 minute ATR to the current 30 minute range you will need to be showing a 30 min chart or lower for it to calculate correctly.
