Relative Candle Volatility Index

10. Sept. 2019

I am not certain if something similar is already available out there. However, here's my own implementation of my simple idea of using the length of the candle-body, or wicks (high-low), to derive a Relative Volatility Index / Oscillator.
In summary: When the R.CVI is significantly positive, it indicates a sudden increase in volatility; whereas, when the R.CVI drops significantly negative, it indicates a sudden decrease in volatility -- in relative to the (just prior) market trend.
