The Choppiness index is a volatility indicator which is designed to determine trendiness of market only and not to predict future price direction.

It was developed by Australian commodity trader Bill Dreiss which simply indicates whether the market is trending (not choppy) or ranging (choppy).

The values basically range between 0 and 100, with low value signaling a strong trend (directional trending) and a high value indicating consolidation.

Choppiness Index Formula

Choppiness Index= 100 * Log10 {Sum (True Range, n)} / [Maximum (True High, n) – Minimum (True Low, n)]} / Log10 (n)

Trading signals

The default setting used is 14 days.

Traders generally use Fibonacci values as extremes for a choppy and trending market:

1. The value above 61.8 (higher threshold) indicates consolidation.

2. The value below 38.2 (lower threshold) signal a trend.

Though Choppiness index measures the status of the current trend, but it often lags the actual trend.

As long as it stays above mid 50 line, the trend continues to be choppy.

On the other hand, if it stays below the midline, it remains trending.

Let’s understand this with an example.

The above is the weekly chart of Future consumer and we can see that whenever the stock was above the mid 50 line, the trend continued to be choppy.

Conclusion

The Choppiness index is a very interesting tool which helps in identifying trends and ranges.

It is often seen that extended period of consolidation and is often followed by an extended period of trending and vice versa.

However, we should not use Choppiness Index in isolation rather it should be used in conjunction with a traditional pattern or other indicators or oscillators to get confirmed buy or sell signal.
