Volatility Cluster Pressure [JOAT]Volatility Cluster Pressure
Introduction
Volatility Cluster Pressure tracks EWMA variance, realized volatility, vol-of-vol, jump intensity, compression, expansion, and unstable cluster states.
This open-source indicator is designed as a context tool, not a standalone trading system. It focuses on explaining the current market state with restrained visuals and confirmed-bar logic where signals are used.
Core Concepts
1. EWMA Variance
A recursive lambda model emphasizes recent returns while retaining volatility memory.
2. Volatility Rank
EWMA volatility is ranked within a historical window.
3. Jump Intensity
Absolute return deviations identify abnormal movement relative to recent behavior.
4. Pressure Rails
Volatility and instability expand adaptive pressure rails around price.
ewmaVar := lambda * ewmaVar + (1 - lambda) * logRet * logRet

How to Use This Script
Use VCP to understand volatility conditions before interpreting signals. Compression, expansion, and unstable states describe risk environment.
Limitations
The script uses historical OHLCV data and cannot know future prices.
Signals and states can be late during fast reversals because confirmed-bar logic is used to reduce repainting.
Model outputs should be interpreted with market context, risk controls, and independent analysis.
No visual state should be treated as a certain trade outcome.
Originality Statement
VCP is original in combining recursive variance, vol rank, jump pressure, instability, and adaptive rails.
