High Low Range

Market volatility is an important factor that determines the profit potential of a day trader. You might have noticed that sometimes Nifty gaps up and spends the entire day in a tight trading range, making day trading very difficult. Further a volatility measure is very much required for knowing what kind of a move to expect and to decide where to book the profits ones you are in a trade..

Markets are cyclical and alternate between high volatility and low volatility. We are going through a high volatility phase. This is temporary and will pass.People generally use ATR as a proxy for volatility. But this measure includes gaps and is not a very true measure from a day trading point of view. High Low range or intraday range is a better proxy of intraday volatility.
