Average Percentage True Range indicator with MA adjustments is an extended version of the Average Percentage True Range indicator described in Stock&Commodities (November 2015).
It has two configurable parameters:
- Period – calculation period
- MA method – МА calculation method
Calculation:
APTR = 100.0 * MA(PTR, Period, MA method)
where:
PTR = Max(s1,s2,s3)
s1 = 2.0 * (High-Low) / (High+Low)
s2 = 2.0 * (High-PrevClose) / (High+PrevClose)
s3 = 2.0 * (Low-PrevClose) / (3.0*Low-Prevlose)
When selecting the Simple calculation mode, the indicator is completely identical to the Average Percentage True Range indicator
