Each of these types of environments are going to have different types of market approaches that can be used. Volatility can be more subtle which we see during extended runs during trending markets and more muted volatility during the consolidation phase of the market. We often see extreme volatility after certain news releases and world events that are extreme in nature and this type of action is easily seen on the chart. Volatile periods in the markets can, in the worst scenario, create wild and sharp swings in the markets which can make them difficult to trade. Knowing what the historical volatility that your instruments have, can help a trader determine if they should trade. This is where understanding and using volatility indicators can help you trade more effectively and keep your expectations in check. Those are important but so is the volatility of the instrument you are trading. Orders placed by other means will have additional transaction costs.The natural rhythm of the market is trending and consolidation.

Options are not suitable for all investors as the special risks inherent to options trading may expose investors to potentially rapid and substantial losses. Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, as well as its own unique risk factors. Clients must consider all relevant risk factors, including their own personal financial situation, before trading.

The Boolean plot that shows where the squeeze alert condition is fulfilled. When this ratio is reached, the indicator is on and alerts are generated. The ratio between Bollinger Bands® and Keltner's Channels widths.

The number of deviations to plot the Bollinger Bands® study. The factor for calculating the shift of the Keltner's Channels. The number of bars used to calculate the three indicators: Momentum Oscillator, Bollinger Bands®, and Keltner's Channels. When the indicator is off (red), no trade is recommended. When the indicator is on and the Momentum Oscillator is red, it is considered a Sell signal (this signal is supposed to be correct until two yellow bars in a row). When the indicator is on (green) and the Momentum Oscillator is colored cyan, it is considered a Buy signal (this signal is supposed to be correct until two blue bars in a row). The Momentum Oscillator histogram is smoothed up with linear regression and other techniques. To produce Buy/Sell signals, the Squeeze indicator is plotted along with Momentum Oscillator. When the market finishes a move, the indicator turns off, which corresponds to bands having pushed well outside the range of Keltner's Channels. The Squeeze indicator finds sections of the Bollinger Bands® study which fall inside the Keltner's Channels. When the volatility increases, so does the distance between the bands, conversely, when the volatility declines, the distance also decreases. The Squeeze indicator measures the relationship between two studies: Bollinger Bands® and Keltner's Channels.
