Volatility Compass
Map expansion and contraction — know when to size up and when to step out.
What it does
Sizing is the silent edge. Volatility Compass aggregates multiple volatility measures into a normalised 0-100 gauge that tells you whether the market is in compression, neutral, or expansion. Pair it with any directional tool and use the regime to time position size, not direction.
Multi-source volatility
Blends ATR percentile, Bollinger band width, and Keltner channel slope into a single read.
Compression detector
Highlights NR4 / NR7 style contractions where statistical breakout odds rise.
Expansion detector
Flags climactic moves where mean-reversion has historically clustered.
Position size plate
Optional table converting the gauge into a suggested risk multiplier (1R, 0.75R, 0.5R, etc.).
Drop-in alert payloads.
Every Vol Compass alert ships a structured JSON payload — version-stamped, non-repainting, ready to pipe straight into Discord, Slack, or your own automation stack. No glue code, no parsing hacks.
