The TradeStation volatility bands indicator is designed to calculate the volatility bands for a specific market based upon historical volatility or implied volatility - implied volatility bands are only available with TradeStation 8.x. Volatility bands provide a statistical probability of where market prices are likely to be contained over a specific period of time based upon standard deviation. Below is a chart showing the expected probability that prices will remain within the range of the corresponding volatility bands.

Volatility bands are popular with traders looking to identify high probability market reversal levels, especially for intraday trading. These TradeStation volatility band indicators are provided in both end-of-day and intraday formats to help traders identify these key reversal areas.

We are confident our indicators will benefit your trading which is why we offer a 100% money back guarantee so you can try out our indicators for yourself and if they are not right for you just let us know within 30 days for a full refund.

Below are some charts from TradeStation showing the volatility band indicators in action.

This first chart above was taken using daily bars of WMT. There are 3 volatility bands applied at 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 standard deviations from the close.

The TradeStation chart above shows the same 3 volatility bands applied to a 5 minute intraday chart of WMT. When applied to an intraday chart in TradeStation the intraday volatility bands indicator calculates the each bands value on the first bar and retains that value during the trading day.

Our TradeStation volatility bands are not limited to being calculated from the close. The above daily chart of EBAY is displaying 3 volatility bands (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0) which have been calculated from the 10 day moving average. These end of day volatility band values can also be used intraday, see the chart below.

The TradeStation intraday EBAY chart above shows the same volatility band values that were calculated from the 10 day moving average seen in the previous EBAY chart. You can clearly see the same volatility band values for 05/28/09 feature in both the daily and intraday charts.

The 5 minute intraday chart above has a single 1.0 deviation volatility band applied. As volatility bands are usually calculated from the previous days close this large gap results in GOOG trading too far from the volatility bands for them to offer any value for this day. Our TradeStation volatility bands include an optional setting to plot volatility bands from today's open instead of yesterday's close, see below.

The above TradeStation chart of GOOG has the same volatility bands applied as before but this time the option to plot the bands from the open, instead of the close, has been selected. As a result the bands gap up with the market and form around the market for that day providing key resistance levels.

Within a radarscreen the volatility bands indicator displays the upper and lower band values which will change color when price exceeds the bands value. As well as displaying the upper and lower volatility band values the indicator provides 2 additional columns of information within a TradeStation radarscreen.

Ratio – shows where the current price is in relation to the volatility bands. A value between 0-1 means that the current price is within both bands with 0 being the lower band and 1 being the upper band. A ratio value below 0 means price is currently below the lower band and a ratio value above 1 means price is currently above the upper band.
