The DIG Average True Range indicator is an improvement of the standard ATR – average true range indicator, which is a popular volatility indicator used by many traders.

The standard ATR is an amazing indicator, but it has one major inherited flaw.

When we use a volatility indicator such as the ATR, we want to know the real price action by how much the next bar goes up or down. However, when gaps have significant influence, as in the standard ATR, we no longer get what we want. After a large gap, the standard ATR indicator no longer reflects the real price action volatility.

 

Take a look at the chart below, which compares the standard ATR indicator (light blue) with the DIG ATR indicator (yellow).

The chart compares our improved DIG ATR (yellow) with the standard ATR (light blue) indicator. Notice that even when a medium-sized gap occurs the standard ATR indicator jumps up and no longer reflects the actual price range, while the DIG ATR reacts to the gap in a much milder manner and continues to accurately reflect the price range. Also notice that when the market has no gaps the indicators are almost identical.

 

Most traders use the standard ATR to place StopLoss and TakeProfit orders. If you are one of these traders, you really need to try the DIG ATR indicator (which is free). The indicator will help you get more from your trades by providing you with more accurate data.

      So I've been messing with the indicators and learning about them. Made me curious what does the majority use here and why?
      Currently I'm using Bollinger Bands, Awesome Oscillator, Moving Average, Belkhayate Timing and Parabolic SAR.
      From all these Belkhayate is my favourite so far, it almost only made me win trades. While Parabolic is almost like MA, I still can read it more clearly on how the market moves.

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
