Volatility indicators

Volatility measures the range of price fluctuations. However, it gives no indication of the direction of the courses. Volatility indicators are generally used to measure the trend in volatility, i.e. they provide information on whether prices are tending to rise or fall. These indicators do not normally provide independent results, but they are particularly interesting when assessing derivatives (options and warrants), as volatility plays a major role here.

All the indicator types presented here have their justification and, of course, their purpose. However, you should only decide when to use which indicator with which setting after a few tests and fictitious purchases and sales - otherwise you may end up paying an expensive lesson.
