Description

Volty SDev Stoch is an options-related indicator that plots the current standard deviation of closing prices as a percentage of the standard deviation of closing prices over its 52-week range. The calculation is similar to that of a 52 week stochastic, however to improve speed, this indicator does not call the Stochastic function.
