ATR (14), % of Price
ATR(14) as % of price.
What it measures
The 14-period average true range as a percentage of price: ATR(14) / price. True range counts gaps as well as bar ranges, and the normalization makes the value comparable across assets and price levels. It is the conventional sizing input: stops and position sizes expressed in ATR units adapt automatically to the prevailing volatility of the chosen timeframe.

Point-in-time, leak-free
Like every QUANT_API feature, technicals.atr_14_pct is computed point-in-time: each value uses only data that had actually arrived at the timestamp you query — live or historical. No restatements, no backfills that quietly rewrite the past, no look-ahead. The value your backtest sees at a given stamp is the value the live API would have returned at that stamp. How we enforce this is documented on the methodology page.
Windows & transforms
The signal is computed over rolling windows; each window can be served raw or through a transform (z-score, percentile rank, delta…). Which windows and transforms you can query depends on your plan — the signal itself supports:
