The Average True Range (ATR) is a volatility indicator that measures the average range between the high and low prices over a specified period. Higher ATR values signal greater market volatility, while lower values indicate quieter trading conditions — making it essential for setting stop-loss levels and position sizing.
This sample plots CSCO daily data as a spline series on the main plot and calculates the ATR indicator with period 12 in a dedicated 30% height subplot, rendered as a spline with a custom orange stroke (#ff6d00). The chart features dual Y-axes, a synchronized line scroller, a range picker, and a range selector, with the default view spanning December 2001 to September 2006.
