Realized Volatility Regime Indicator [v1]
Realised Volatility Regime Indicator
The Realised Volatility Regime Indicator is designed to help traders understand the current volatility environment of a market.
This is not a buy or sell signal indicator. It is a volatility regime filter that helps traders decide whether the market is in a low, normal, high, or extreme volatility state.
The indicator is useful for identifying whether conditions are better suited to breakout preparation, normal trading, momentum continuation, volatility shock management, or post-shock cooling.
It can be used across FX, crypto, indices, commodities, futures, and liquid stocks.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT THE INDICATOR MEASURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator calculates realized volatility from recent price changes using log returns.
It then annualizes that volatility and compares the current reading to its own historical range using percentile ranking.
This allows the indicator to classify volatility relative to the asset’s own recent behaviour.
For example, EUR/USD and Bitcoin naturally have different volatility profiles. Instead of comparing raw volatility values, this indicator asks:
“Is current volatility high or low relative to this market’s own recent history?”
That makes the tool more adaptive across different asset classes and timeframes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MAIN COMPONENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Realised Volatility
Realised volatility measures how much the price has actually moved over a selected lookback period.
Higher realised volatility means the price has been moving more aggressively.
Lower realised volatility means the price has been more compressed.
2. Annualised Realised Volatility
The indicator converts per-bar volatility into an annualised volatility value using the Bars Per Year input.
Suggested Bars Per Year settings:
• Daily FX / indices: 252
• Daily crypto: 365
• 1-hour FX: approximately 6240
• 1-hour crypto: approximately 8760
The annualised volatility value is shown in the dashboard.
3. Volatility Percentile
The volatility percentile is the main plotted line.
It shows where current realised volatility ranks compared to recent historical volatility.
General interpretation:
• 0–25%: Low volatility
• 25–75%: Normal volatility
• 75–90%: High volatility
• Above 90%: Extreme volatility
The percentile method is more adaptive than using fixed volatility levels.
4. Volatility Direction
The indicator also shows whether volatility is:
• Expanding
• Contracting
• Flat
This matters because high volatility with expansion is different from high volatility with contraction.
For example:
• High volatility + expanding = momentum conditions may be active
• High volatility + contracting = cooling or exhaustion may be developing
• Low volatility + contracting = compression may be building
5. Market State
The dashboard classifies the market into one of the following states:
• Compression
• Expansion
• Vol Shock
• Cooling
• Neutral
These states are designed to provide a quick summary of the current volatility environment.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
VOLATILITY REGIMES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Low Vol
Low Vol means volatility is compressed relative to recent history.
This can suggest:
• Quiet market conditions
• Narrower price ranges
• Lower realized movement
• Breakout risk may be building
Low volatility does not predict direction. It only tells the trader that the market is compressed.
Common use cases:
• Prepare for breakout setups
• Monitor range boundaries
• Avoid forcing trades inside tight ranges
• Wait for volatility expansion confirmation
Normal Vol
Normal Vol means volatility is within its average historical range.
This is usually the most balanced environment.
Common use cases:
• Standard position sizing
• Normal stop placement
• Trend or range trading depending on price structure
• Standard technical confirmation
High Vol
High Vol means volatility is elevated relative to recent history.
This can indicate:
• Stronger directional movement
• Wider ranges
• Higher uncertainty
• Greater stop-loss risk
• Better momentum conditions
Common use cases:
• Reduce position size
• Use wider stops
• Avoid tight entries
• Look for continuation if volatility is still expanding
• Avoid fading strong moves too early
Extreme Vol
Extreme Vol means volatility is in the upper range of its recent history.
This often appears around:
• Central bank decisions
• CPI / inflation data
• NFP or labour market data
• Earnings shocks
• Geopolitical events
• Crypto liquidation cascades
• Flash crashes
• Major breakouts or breakdowns
Common use cases:
• Reduce exposure
• Avoid excessive leverage
• Avoid chasing large candles
• Wait for structure to stabilize
• Watch for cooling before considering mean reversion
Extreme volatility is not automatically a reversal signal. Markets can remain extreme for longer than expected.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MARKET STATE DEFINITIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Compression
Compression occurs when volatility is low and still falling.
This may indicate that the market is coiling before a larger move, but it does not predict direction.
Use compression to prepare, not to predict.
Expansion
Expansion occurs when volatility is high and rising.
This may support breakout or momentum conditions.
In expansion regimes, traders should be careful about fading strong directional moves too early.
Vol Shock
Vol Shock occurs when volatility is extreme and still rising.
This is a high-risk environment.
It may reflect:
• News repricing
• Panic movement
• Liquidation pressure
• Stop cascades
• Forced positioning adjustment
• Macro repricing
During Vol Shock conditions, risk control is more important than signal chasing.
Cooling
Cooling occurs when volatility is still elevated but has started to contract.
This may suggest the initial shock or momentum burst is slowing.
Cooling is not a reversal signal by itself. It simply means volatility pressure is easing.
Better reversal confirmation may require:
• Failed continuation
• Break of short-term structure
• Return inside a prior range
• Reclaim of a key moving average
• Re-entry after an extreme move
Neutral
Neutral means there is no strong volatility condition.
In this state, traders should rely more heavily on price structure, trend, support/resistance, and normal trade rules.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The main line is the volatility percentile.
Colour guide:
• Green = Low Vol
• Blue = Normal Vol
• Orange = High Vol
• Red = Extreme Vol
The dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime
• Annualized Realized Volatility
• Volatility Percentile
• Vol Direction
• Regime Score
• Market State
Regime Score:
• 1 = Low Vol
• 2 = Normal Vol
• 3 = High Vol
• 4 = Extreme Vol
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Use this indicator as a regime filter.
The main purpose is to help decide what type of trading approach is better suited to current market conditions.
Suggested interpretation:
• Low Vol + Compression: prepare for breakout, but wait for direction
• Normal Vol: use standard technical trading rules
• High Vol + Expansion: momentum continuation may be more likely
• Extreme Vol + Vol Shock: reduce size and avoid chasing
• High / Extreme Vol + Cooling: monitor for exhaustion or mean-reversion confirmation
The indicator should not be used as a standalone signal. Volatility tells you about the trading environment, not direction.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL TRADING WORKFLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Identify the current volatility regime.
Check whether the market is in Low Vol, Normal Vol, High Vol, or Extreme Vol.
2. Check volatility direction.
Is volatility expanding, contracting, or flat?
3. Match the strategy to the regime.
Low volatility may favour breakout preparation.
High volatility may favour momentum continuation.
Extreme volatility may require defensive risk management.
Cooling may support watching for failed continuation or exhaustion.
4. Adjust risk.
As volatility rises, position size should generally fall.
High volatility regimes often require wider stops and smaller size.
5. Use price structure for entries.
Do not enter trades based only on volatility.
Use support/resistance, trend, market structure, liquidity zones, or other confirmation.

HOW TO COMBINE WITH EXPECTED MOVE BANDS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator pairs well with an expected-move projection indicator.
The Realized Volatility Regime Indicator tells you what volatility environment the market is in.
Expected Move Bands tell you where price may reasonably move over a selected horizon.
Suggested combined framework:
• Low Vol / Compression: expected move bands may be narrow; breakout risk may be building
• Normal Vol: use 1σ and 2σ expected move levels normally
• High Vol / Expansion: momentum continuation may be more likely
• Extreme Vol / Shock: reduce size and avoid chasing into extreme levels
• High or Extreme Vol Cooling: watch for re-entry, exhaustion, or failed continuation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXAMPLES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Example 1: Low Volatility Compression
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: Low Vol
• Vol Direction: Contracting
• Market State: Compression
This means the market is quiet and compressed.
A trader may prepare breakout alerts above resistance and below support, but should wait for price confirmation.
Example 2: High Volatility Expansion
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: High Vol
• Vol Direction: Expanding
• Market State: Expansion
This means volatility is rising and momentum conditions may be active.
A trader may favour continuation setups, avoid tight stops, and avoid fading strong moves too early.
Example 3: Extreme Volatility Shock
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: Extreme Vol
• Vol Direction: Expanding
• Market State: Vol Shock
This means the market is in a stress condition.
A trader may reduce exposure, avoid over-leverage, and wait for stabilization before entering new trades.
Example 4: Extreme Volatility Cooling
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: Extreme Vol
• Vol Direction: Contracting
• Market State: Cooling
This means volatility remains elevated, but the shock is starting to fade.
A trader may monitor for failed continuation or mean-reversion confirmation, but should not assume an automatic reversal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RISK MANAGEMENT NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is especially useful for risk adjustment.
Possible applications:
• Reduce size during High Vol and Extreme Vol regimes
• Avoid tight stops when volatility is expanding
• Avoid over-targeting trades when volatility is compressed
• Use wider stops only if position size is reduced
• Avoid fading extreme moves without confirmation
• Use compression regimes to prepare, not predict
• Use cooling regimes to monitor possible exhaustion
A practical rule:
As volatility rises, position size should generally fall.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS BEST FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is best used for:
• Volatility regime detection
• Market environment filtering
• Risk management
• Breakout preparation
• Momentum confirmation
• Volatility shock detection
• Strategy selection
• Trade sizing context
It is most useful when combined with price action, market structure, support/resistance, trend filters, and macro or event awareness.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is not:
• A standalone trading strategy
• A buy/sell signal generator
• A prediction model
• A guarantee of future volatility
• A replacement for risk management
• A complete trading system
Volatility describes the market environment. It does not tell you direction by itself.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses historical realized volatility. It does not know future volatility.
Volatility can change rapidly after:
• Economic data releases
• Central bank decisions
• Earnings reports
• Geopolitical events
• Liquidity shocks
• Crypto liquidation cascades
• Market open or close effects
The indicator does not include:
• Options implied volatility
• Order flow
• Market depth
• Positioning data
• Fundamental data
• News sentiment
• Liquidity conditions
Use it as a decision-support tool, not as a standalone trading system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FINAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Realized Volatility Regime Indicator helps traders think in terms of volatility, risk, and regime.
Instead of asking only whether price is bullish or bearish, this tool helps answer:
• Is the market quiet or active?
• Is volatility rising or falling?
• Is the market compressed or expanding?
• Is the current move part of a volatility shock?
• Should I use normal size, reduce size, or wait?
• Is this environment better for breakout, momentum, range, or defensive trading?
The indicator is designed to improve trade context and risk discipline.
The Realised Volatility Regime Indicator is designed to help traders understand the current volatility environment of a market.

This allows the indicator to classify volatility relative to the asset’s own recent behaviour.
For example, EUR/USD and Bitcoin naturally have different volatility profiles. Instead of comparing raw volatility values, this indicator asks:

5. Market State
The dashboard classifies the market into one of the following states:
• Compression
• Expansion
• Vol Shock
• Cooling
• Neutral
These states are designed to provide a quick summary of the current volatility environment.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
VOLATILITY REGIMES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Low Vol
Low Vol means volatility is compressed relative to recent history.
This can suggest:
• Quiet market conditions
• Narrower price ranges
• Lower realized movement
• Breakout risk may be building
Low volatility does not predict direction. It only tells the trader that the market is compressed.
Common use cases:
• Prepare for breakout setups
• Monitor range boundaries
• Avoid forcing trades inside tight ranges
• Wait for volatility expansion confirmation
Normal Vol
Normal Vol means volatility is within its average historical range.
This is usually the most balanced environment.
Common use cases:
• Standard position sizing
• Normal stop placement
• Trend or range trading depending on price structure
• Standard technical confirmation
High Vol
High Vol means volatility is elevated relative to recent history.
This can indicate:
• Stronger directional movement
• Wider ranges
• Higher uncertainty
• Greater stop-loss risk
• Better momentum conditions
Common use cases:
• Reduce position size
• Use wider stops
• Avoid tight entries
• Look for continuation if volatility is still expanding
• Avoid fading strong moves too early
Extreme Vol
Extreme Vol means volatility is in the upper range of its recent history.
This often appears around:
• Central bank decisions
• CPI / inflation data
• NFP or labour market data
• Earnings shocks
• Geopolitical events
• Crypto liquidation cascades
• Flash crashes
• Major breakouts or breakdowns
Common use cases:
• Reduce exposure
• Avoid excessive leverage
• Avoid chasing large candles
• Wait for structure to stabilize
• Watch for cooling before considering mean reversion
Extreme volatility is not automatically a reversal signal. Markets can remain extreme for longer than expected.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MARKET STATE DEFINITIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Compression
Compression occurs when volatility is low and still falling.
This may indicate that the market is coiling before a larger move, but it does not predict direction.
Use compression to prepare, not to predict.
Expansion
Expansion occurs when volatility is high and rising.
This may support breakout or momentum conditions.
In expansion regimes, traders should be careful about fading strong directional moves too early.
Vol Shock
Vol Shock occurs when volatility is extreme and still rising.
This is a high-risk environment.
It may reflect:
• News repricing
• Panic movement
• Liquidation pressure
• Stop cascades
• Forced positioning adjustment
• Macro repricing
During Vol Shock conditions, risk control is more important than signal chasing.
Cooling
Cooling occurs when volatility is still elevated but has started to contract.
This may suggest the initial shock or momentum burst is slowing.
Cooling is not a reversal signal by itself. It simply means volatility pressure is easing.
Better reversal confirmation may require:
• Failed continuation
• Break of short-term structure
• Return inside a prior range
• Reclaim of a key moving average
• Re-entry after an extreme move
Neutral
Neutral means there is no strong volatility condition.
In this state, traders should rely more heavily on price structure, trend, support/resistance, and normal trade rules.

PRACTICAL TRADING WORKFLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Identify the current volatility regime.
Check whether the market is in Low Vol, Normal Vol, High Vol, or Extreme Vol.
2. Check volatility direction.
Is volatility expanding, contracting, or flat?
3. Match the strategy to the regime.
Low volatility may favour breakout preparation.
High volatility may favour momentum continuation.
Extreme volatility may require defensive risk management.
Cooling may support watching for failed continuation or exhaustion.
4. Adjust risk.
As volatility rises, position size should generally fall.
High volatility regimes often require wider stops and smaller size.
5. Use price structure for entries.
Do not enter trades based only on volatility.
Use support/resistance, trend, market structure, liquidity zones, or other confirmation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXAMPLES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Example 1: Low Volatility Compression
If the dashboard shows:

A trader may prepare breakout alerts above resistance and below support, but should wait for price confirmation.
Example 2: High Volatility Expansion
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: High Vol
• Vol Direction: Expanding
• Market State: Expansion
This means volatility is rising and momentum conditions may be active.
A trader may favour continuation setups, avoid tight stops, and avoid fading strong moves too early.
Example 3: Extreme Volatility Shock
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: Extreme Vol
• Vol Direction: Expanding
• Market State: Vol Shock
This means the market is in a stress condition.
A trader may reduce exposure, avoid over-leverage, and wait for stabilization before entering new trades.
Example 4: Extreme Volatility Cooling
If the dashboard shows:
• Vol Regime: Extreme Vol
• Vol Direction: Contracting
• Market State: Cooling
This means volatility remains elevated, but the shock is starting to fade.
A trader may monitor for failed continuation or mean-reversion confirmation, but should not assume an automatic reversal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RISK MANAGEMENT NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is especially useful for risk adjustment.
Possible applications:
• Reduce size during High Vol and Extreme Vol regimes
• Avoid tight stops when volatility is expanding
• Avoid over-targeting trades when volatility is compressed
• Use wider stops only if position size is reduced
• Avoid fading extreme moves without confirmation
• Use compression regimes to prepare, not predict
• Use cooling regimes to monitor possible exhaustion
A practical rule:
As volatility rises, position size should generally fall.
