↘️ ↗️ 3 METHODS FOR CALCULATING VOLATILITY
Market volatility is a statistical measure that tracks how much asset prices deviate from their benchmarks or averages. It shows how dramatically stock prices and other financial assets can swing up or down. The more extreme and frequent these price swings are, the more volatile the market becomes.

There are two types of market volatility:

1️⃣ Historical volatility (HV) measures how much an asset's price has deviated from its mean value over a specific time period.

Rising HV should make you cautious. It often signals that something significant has happened - or is about to happen - with the asset. When HV falls, it indicates the market is becoming more stable.

2️⃣ Implied volatility (IV) offers insights into future market expectations. It predicts potential asset price movements based on current option prices. You can calculate IV using the Black-Scholes formula, which is shown in the illustration accompanying this post.

📈 Both HV and IV are expressed as percentages and standard deviations (+ or -). For example, if XYZ stock has a standard deviation of 10%, it means the stock can gain or lose 10% of its total value. The higher the standard deviation, the more volatile the stock.

3️⃣ Instead of complex calculations, you can rely on indicators! For example, Bollinger Bands signal increasing volatility when they expand. Additionally, the ATAS platform offers a dedicated volatility indicator - ATR 🕯

📉 Level breakout trading is a strategy that focuses on price movements through key support and resistance levels. After a breakout occurs, the price will likely continue moving in that same direction.

Breakouts happen when supply and demand become unbalanced. When buyers and sellers are balanced, the price moves sideways in a flat range between support and resistance levels ⚖️ A support level breaks when buyers weaken, and sellers gain strength, as market participants view the price as too high. The opposite occurs for resistance breakouts.

🔍3 signs of a true breakout:
🔹Increased volume before the breakout
🔹Possibility of a false breakout in the opposite direction
🔹Swift price movement — making it difficult for traders to enter at favorable prices

How can you validate breakouts and trade more confidently? Use these advanced ATAS indicators:

✔️ Stacked Imbalances
Reveals buyer or seller dominance across multiple consecutive price levels in the breakout zone

✔️ Speed of Tape
Displays increasing pressure from either side in delta mode

🧲 4 TIPS FOR TRACKING SMART MONEY
Smart money refers to large institutional investors and funds that possess significant resources and professional analytical capabilities. Due to large volumes of trades, smart money can influence the market. Their actions have a significant impact on asset prices and market trends.

1️⃣ Stay informed about the news
If smart money wants to buy on the eve of an uptrend, it will be interested in buying at a lower price. Therefore, before that, you usually see a downward movement on the chart (often accompanied by negative news), indicating the width of the subsequent upward channel.

2️⃣ Track volatility
Increased market volatility indicates smart money activity since retail traders with small order sizes cannot move the market. The easiest way is to use the ATR indicator.

3️⃣ Track COT reports
COT reports are publications that disclose the positions of prominent market participants. These reports help reduce the risks of market crashes and provide valuable insights into the long-term perspectives of prominent players. The data is displayed user-friendly in the ATAS platform through the COT report indicator.

4️⃣ Track volumes with ATAS tools
Volume indicators are the most obvious instruments for tracking the activity of large players. COT reports and other mentioned sources of information can be delayed, while indicators such as Big Trades and Heat Map in the ATAS platform allow smart players to be tracked intraday in real-time.

🚨 ONLY 98 OUT OF 3000 PROMO LICENSES ARE LEFT!

➡️ Hurry up and claim your discount! ⬅️

We're just about to end the promotional sale with discounts for 1 month, 1 year and Lifetime 💰

Friends, let's talk openly 💬
We closely monitor communication in chats and see that the promotional offer wasn't positively received by all community members.

We want to clarify to simplify your choice and make the offer as transparent as possible:

🖥 If you open the "Monthly" pricing tab, you'll see the actual cost of one month of ATAS usage is €69.

💶 We calculate the cost of each plan without discounts based on this basic cost: €69 multiplied by the number of license months.

🛍 Then, we calculate the discount percentage. For example, let's take the promotional plan: 1 year + 2 months — besides the regular discount, you get 2 bonus months.

🧮 If we multiply 14 months by €69 and subtract slightly more than 50%, we get the Black Friday price.

Thus, when forming promotional plans, we highlighted that:
✔️ 1-month plan — 6 weeks instead of 4;
✔️ 1-year plan — 14 months instead of 12 + the plan cost is initially calculated with a discount;
✔️ Lifetime plan — €1590 instead of €1790.

Having received your feedback, we understand that the promotion terms weren't entirely clear for everyone. Our team will learn from this experience and ensure future promotional offers will make you 💯 happy.

We hope this explanation improves your Black Friday!😊

And we especially want to thank those platform users who tried to understand and gave us constructive feedback 💙

Thank you for staying with us!
