True-Range

True range or the average true range measures volatility and is an indicator used in charting. Welles Wilder introduced the average true range and it was initially used in commodities but is not exclusive to this equity type. When that average true range of a stock or equity is low, that means volatility is low and if the average true range is high, that means volatility is high. Many people use it to exit and enter trades, and this can certainly be used in conjunction with other indicators to help you locate the appropriate times to enter and exit positions.
