The Harmonic Volatility indicator is the first technical tool that uses Fibonacci levels to analyze market volatility. The indicator combines the Fibonacci coefficients (0.618, 0.382, etc.) with trading volatility. The Harmonic Volatility indicator was originally developed as a way to overcome the limitations and weaknesses of the Gann angle, also known as the “Gann Fan”. We have demonstrated that the Harmonic Volatility indicator can be used on a chart in a similar way to the Gann angle (or Gann Fan). At the same time, since volatility is very important information for traders, the Harmonic Volatility indicator gives traders many other advantages. The Harmonic Volatility indicator can be combined with existing technical analysis tools or used as a completely independent tool. It is also an effective indicator for identifying a mature trend at the final stage. This tool can be used to determine important support and resistance levels, trend reversal points, and trend strength.
If you understand the basic principle of trading, you can always diversify your trading ideas thanks to the Harmonic Volatility indicator. Examples:
- Possible trading settings 1 – use the Harmonic Volatility Indicator as a zone trade (reversals and breakouts)
- Possible trading settings 2-Harmonic Volatility Indicator and Oscillators (reversals)
- Possible trading settings 3-Harmonic Volatility Indicator and Market Profile (reversal trading styles and the ability to trade for a breakout)
- Possible trading settings 4-Harmonic Volatility Indicator, Harmonic Pattern Plus and Market Profile (reversal trading)
