MoT - [Analyst] - Berlin Range Index - Chart version

**THE INDICATOR**

The original problem: The choppiness index is great at finding ranging markets, but it is sometimes very slow, which means most of the time it only catches the end of a trend.

This indicator tries to solve this. It uses the choppiness index and filters it using a factor that is based on the standard deviation of the ATR.

The ATR based filter is calculated by first calculating the running standard deviation of the ATR, and then looking at that in relation to its recent low to find a filtering factor to use on the choppiness index . This makes the choppiness index more reactive to trends, but also slightly more likely to miss identify ranges.

This is the bar colour version of the indicator. It changes the colour of the bars when it it thinks the market is ranging and when it thinks it is trending.

Yellow = Trending
Transparent gray = Ranging
