The Parkinson Historical Volatility (PHV), developed in 1980 by the physicist Michael Parkinson, aims to estimate the volatility of returns for a random walk using the high and low in any particular period. An important use of the PHV is the assessment of the distribution prices during the day as well as a better understanding of the market dynamics. Comparing the PHV and a periodically sampled volatility helps traders understand the tendency towards mean reversion in the market as well as the distribution of stop-losses.
This script allows you to transform the volatility reading. The intention of this is to be able to compare volatility across different assets and timeframes. Having a relative reading of volatility also allows you to better gauge volatility within the context of current market conditions.
For the signal lie I chose a repulsion moving average to remove choppy crossovers of the estimator and the signal. This may have been a mistake, so in the near-future I might update so that the MA can be selected. Let me know if you have any opinions either way.

If you'd like the opportunity to learn Pine but you have difficulty finding resources to guide you, take a look at this rudimentary list: docs.google.com...k0VGHViQc4/edit?usp=sharin...
The list will be updated in the future as more people share the resources that have helped, or continue to help, them. Follow me on Twitter to keep up-to-date with the growing list of resources.
Suggestions or Questions?
Don't even kinda hesitate to forward them to me. My (metaphorical) door is always open.
