Historical Volatility with Adaptive Filtering & Price Targets

Understanding the “Historical Volatility with Adaptive Filtering & Price Targets” Indicator in TradingView
This TradingView indicator helps beginners identify high volatility moments and potential price targets for trading stocks, forex, or crypto. It highlights significant price swings with clear signals and targets, making it easy to spot trade opportunities. Here’s a step-by-step guide to understanding it:
Add the Indicator: In TradingView, open a chart (e.g., BTC/USD, 1-hour). Click “Indicators,” search for “Historical Volatility with Adaptive Filtering & Price Targets,” and add it. Ensure “Show Labels” and “Show Price Targets” are enabled in settings.
Spot Volatility Signals: The indicator measures volatility using price changes over an adaptive period (default 20 bars). When volatility exceeds a threshold (default 1.5x average), it places labels:
Green labels below candles signal strong bullish (upward) momentum.
Red labels above candles indicate bearish (downward) pressure.
Labels alternate (green after red, red after green) to avoid clutter, with at least 2 bars between signals.
Understand Price Targets: Every label comes with a target:
Green dashed lines (bullish) appear above the price, showing where the price might rise (calculated as close + volatility × multiplier, default 1.0).
Red dashed lines (bearish) appear below, indicating potential price drops.
Target lines persist for 10 bars (adjustable via “Target Line Duration”) and are thicker for visibility. Target labels (e.g., “Bullish Target: 5000”) appear 3 bars after the signal (adjustable via “Target Label Delay”), giving you time to enter trades.
Customize Settings: Adjust inputs:
Lower “Threshold” (e.g., 0.5) for more signals.
Increase “Target Multiplier” (e.g., 2.0) for wider targets.
Change “Target Label Delay” (e.g., 5) for more time to act.
Trade with Caution: Use green labels to consider buying, aiming for the green target, or red labels for selling. Combine with other tools (e.g., support/resistance) and set stop-losses for risk management.
This indicator simplifies volatility-based trading with clear, delayed targets for actionable insights.
