1. WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

COTE Volatility is a price-based volatility indicator designed to detect abnormal price expansion using ATR (Average True Range).

Its main purpose:
→ Identify **volatility spikes**
→ Highlight **explosive candles (expansion bars)**
→ Separate bullish and bearish momentum bursts

It answers:
→ “Is this move normal or abnormal?”
→ “Is this candle driven by strong participation?”

---

2. CORE LOGIC / UNIQUE EDGE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This is NOT just an ATR indicator.

It simplifies volatility into a **clear decision signal**:

━━━━━━━━━━
1) ATR-Based Dynamic Threshold
━━━━━━━━━━

Instead of fixed thresholds:

→ Uses ATR (market volatility baseline)
→ Adapts automatically to market conditions

Formula:
ATR × Multiplier = volatility threshold

---

━━━━━━━━━━
2) Expansion Detection (Core Mechanism)
━━━━━━━━━━

Measures candle size:

candleRange = high - low

Then compares:

candleRange > ATR × multiplier

If TRUE:
→ This is a **volatility spike**

Meaning:
→ Market moved more than expected

---

━━━━━━━━━━
3) Directional Filtering
━━━━━━━━━━

Not all spikes are equal.

The indicator separates:

• Bullish Spike → close > open
• Bearish Spike → close < open

This gives:
→ Direction + strength in one signal

---

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3. HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

STEP 1 — Calculate ATR
→ Measures average volatility

STEP 2 — Measure Candle Range
→ high - low

STEP 3 — Compare with Threshold

If:
candleRange > ATR × multiplier

→ Volatility Spike detected

STEP 4 — Classify Direction

• Close > Open → Bullish Spike
• Close < Open → Bearish Spike

STEP 5 — Plot Signals

• Green triangle → Bullish expansion
• Red triangle → Bearish expansion

4. HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━
1) Breakout Confirmation
━━━━━━━━━━

Large spike after consolidation:

→ Confirms breakout strength
→ Not a fake move

---

━━━━━━━━━━
2) Momentum Entry
━━━━━━━━━━

Bullish spike:
→ Strong buying pressure

Bearish spike:
→ Strong selling pressure

Best used with:
→ Trend direction
→ Support / resistance

---

━━━━━━━━━━
3) Trap Detection
━━━━━━━━━━

Spike against higher timeframe trend:

→ Possible trap / fake move

Example:
→ Bear spike in strong uptrend → absorption

---

━━━━━━━━━━
4) Volatility Regime Shift
━━━━━━━━━━

Clusters of spikes:

→ Market transitioning from low → high volatility

Important for:
→ Timing expansion phases

---

5. SETTINGS GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

atrLength
→ ATR sensitivity

Low → reacts faster
High → smoother, slower

multiplier
→ Spike threshold

Low (1.5–2.0) → more signals
High (2.5–3.0) → only extreme moves

---

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6. IMPORTANT NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• This indicator does NOT predict direction
→ Only shows volatility expansion

• A spike ≠ automatic entry
→ Must be combined with context

• Works best with:
→ Trend
→ Liquidity zones
→ Volume analysis

• In low volatility markets:
→ Signals will be rare

---

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 KEY INSIGHT

This indicator is designed to detect:

→ Abnormal price expansion
