Volatility Market Index - Smoothing - MetaTrader 5 Script | Forex Indicator Download - MT4/MT5 Resources


The Volatility Market Index Indicator (originally published here: Market Index Volatility ) is a useful indicator, but it may be lacking one thing: smoother.
This issue is being addressed in this release. The method used attempts to reduce latency to a minimum (or non-existence), and it seems to work in an acceptable mode. The smoothing methods used are 4 commonly used averaging types:
Set smoothing period to <=1 and smoothing to off.

PS: Comparison of smooth (top) and regular (bottom) values. It's obvious that the smoothed version is smoother, and the lag is acceptable even if a simple moving average is used for smoothing in this case (sma is the "slowest" of the averages available for smoothing).
