Volatility-of-Volatility Calculator

Paste a chronological series of ATR or range readings (one per line, oldest first) to measure the period-over-period percent change in that series and its standard deviation. It tells you how erratically volatility itself is moving, not only how wide the ranges are.

Use at least 6-10 readings for a stable measure.

Educational tool only, not financial advice. This measures the standard deviation of period-over-period percent changes in your volatility series, a different metric from the coefficient of variation of range levels. Check it against your own plan and risk rules before you trade it.
