Updated EMA ± ATR Channel (True Range)
EMA ± ATR Channel (True Range)
Tagline: Adaptive EMA channel with ATR-based volatility bands — perfect for swing trading, intraday setups, and managing risk on high-volatility stocks.
This script plots a dynamic price channel around a configurable EMA using the Average True Range (ATR, Wilder’s True Range) as a volatility buffer.
Upper band = EMA + (ATR × multiplier)
Lower band = EMA – (ATR × multiplier)
📊 Features:
Adjustable EMA length, ATR length, and ATR multiplier
Visual channel fill between upper and lower bands
Optional on-chart help panel with practical combos
⚡ Practical Combos for Volatile Stocks:
EMA 20 + ATR 14 × 2.0 → most common swing trading setup
EMA 10 + ATR 14 × 1.5 → very responsive, good for intraday/high-beta names
EMA 20 + ATR 20 × 2.5 → smoother, wider channel, avoids whipsaws in chaotic stocks
✅ Use cases:
Identify dynamic support/resistance zones
Volatility-based stop-loss & take-profit placement
Spot overextensions from the trend midline
