Right. That was one of the 10 "volatility" indicators in the on-line MSWA 6.50 help. That's why I asked what he questioner meant by volatility. PS: In a minute, I'll send a list of MSW volatility measures - some already in QP2, some in the minds or on the keyboards of our champion scan writers (yourself included).

Here are the built-in MSW 6.5 indicators that they list in their help. I've included the originators when listed as there are sometimes indicators having the same name from multiple originators. Average true range Wilder Bollinger Bands Bollinger Commodity selection index Wilder Moving Average (variable) Chande ODDS Probability Cones (tm) Fishback Relative volatility index Dorsey Standard Deviation - Standard error bands Equis (Anderson) Volatility, Chaikens Chaiken Volatility, options Bookstaber (really for options, not stocks) Now you might dispute some as being more “volatility” than others - but there you are. And of course, they left off Beta (and Alpha) and things like them that might using something other than SP-500 for comparison (Beta is relative of the stock to the SP-500 average.
