Description
ATR (Average True Range) is usually used to assess volatility of the market.
But since it is not bounded, we can not really know if some extremes of the volatility (maximal or minimal, whichever we are looking for) is reached. This version is using a min/max normalization to attempt to add those bounds and thus, to add a criteria if minimum or maximum is reached

Normalized ATR is so essential for developing technical analysis for measuring the volatility level, which is so normalized to seeing but there is also very systematic and reliable dissertation writing London available to get from them all the way to the UK, London city reactively.
