Relative Candle Volatility Index

I am not certain if something similar is already available out there. However, here's my own implementation of my simple idea of using the length of the candle-body, or wicks (high-low), to derive a Relative Volatility Index / Oscillator.
In summary: When the R.CVI is significantly positive, it indicates a sudden increase in volatility; whereas, when the R.CVI drops significantly negative, it indicates a sudden decrease in volatility -- in relative to the (just prior) market trend.

Please exercise your own judgement for your own trades base on your own risk-aversion level and goals as an investor or a trader. The use of OTHER indicators and analysis in conjunction (tailored to your own style of investing/trading) will help improve confidence of your analysis, for you to determine your own trade decisions.

Conditions base on the RCVI were implemented in my Strategies, which have substantially boosted their profitability, viz.:

• Increasing trading activities when RCVI is above the upper threshold.
