Normalized ATR (14)Volatility

Timeframe M1 · unit %

What it measures

Wilder's Average True Range divided by the closing price, yielding a percentage that normalises volatility across instruments of different price scales.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

Identical numerically to ATR% of price. Useful for comparing volatility across assets (a 0.2% NATR on an index vs a 0.8% NATR on an equity). Carries no directional signal - high NATR means wide bars, nothing more.

In plain language

If ATR tells you how many points the market moves on average, NATR converts that into a percentage so you can compare an instrument priced at 100 with one priced at 10,000 on the same scale.

Scenarios

NATR < 0.1%: Low volatility regime. Breakout setups lack follow-through energy until NATR expands.
NATR 0.1%-0.3%: Standard intraday volatility. Most momentum and mean-reversion setups operate in this band.
NATR > 0.4%: Market breathing harder. Wider ATR-derived stop levels may be needed to avoid noise-driven exits.
Cross-instrument comparison: an equity NATR of 1.5% versus an index NATR of 0.2% illustrates the vastly different risk-per-point across asset classes.
