"The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator"
There have been three recent scary trading periods bandied about on a few threads so I'll use them as an example. (1) The GFC (2) The unknown drop in late 2018 & (3) our most recent COVID-19 scare. I won't be commenting on the charts other than to say that we would have been wise not to trade the red bars between (31 Dec 2007 to 30th April 2009) the GFC period. We would have been well served not trading during "the unknown drop, late 2018" (31st December 2018 to 28th February 2019). With the advent of COVID-19 we should have ceased trading on the (28th February 2020) & be currently sitting on the sidelines waiting patiently for the next green bar to come along indicating it's safe to start trading again.

1. GFC red bars (31 Dec 2007 to 30th April 2009)

3. COVID-19 red bars (starts on the 28th February 2020)

Summary
[USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER] original idea of using two indicators to measure "volatility & volume" has developed into a stand alone trading strategy & now as a stand alone indicator. Both worthy in their own right.

Disclaimer
I'm not saying "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator" is perfect or it should be used as a guide when it's appropriate to be "in-or-out" of the markets "but" posted to stimulate thinking along those lines & nothing else.

Fresh perspective
I'm sure with further research & refinement "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator" may alleviate some of the fears associated with trading.
