is there a filter / indicator that keeps my bot out of the market if it is too volatile? For example, when news triggers high price fluctuations in both directions. Can you filter that in order to stay away from the market, i.e. not trigger a trade?
You could make that filter yourself. Say some news make a spike, you can decide not to open a trade, no matter if your conditions are met, if the candle ‘s range is N times its average range over the last P periods.
Or if the high is greater than the previous bar by X%.
