This indicator calculates the standard deviation of price movements over a chosen period.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion, which in trading translates to the level of volatility in the market.
Purpose: It tells traders how much prices deviate from their average, helping to identify whether the market is calm (low volatility) or turbulent (high volatility).
How it works: A higher value means that recent price candles are more spread out from the mean, signaling strong fluctuations. A lower value suggests prices are clustering closer to the mean, indicating stability.
Practical use: Traders often use this measure to adapt strategies: widening stop-loss levels in volatile conditions, tightening them when volatility is low, or combining it with trend indicators to assess potential breakouts.
In short, this tool is a direct volatility meter that reflects how active and risky the market environment is.
This indicator goes one step further: instead of measuring the volatility of price directly, it measures the volatility of volatility itself.
It calculates the standard deviation of the first volatility indicator (the one described above).
Purpose: It captures how stable or unstable the volatility environment is over time. This is often referred to as “vol-of-vol” in quantitative finance.
How it works:
If this indicator rises, it means the volatility itself is fluctuating a lot – the market is experiencing bursts of activity followed by calm, then turbulence again.
If it stays low, volatility is relatively steady, even if the market is trending or ranging.
Practical use: Traders can use this as an early warning signal. A sudden increase may precede strong price swings or trend changes, since unstable volatility often accompanies market transitions. Conversely, low values may confirm consistent market conditions.
In short, while the first indicator tells you “how much the price moves”, the second one tells you “how much the volatility itself moves” – adding a deeper layer of market analysis.
