Price Percent Volatility Range Box Indicator

I trade credit spreads on SPX and currently use the Volatility Trading Range study found here. This indicator is great for knowing the weekly range of SPY and allows me to place my credit spreads outside of those ranges to scalp the premium.

This is one of the few rare times this study has been wrong. The move to the downside went outside of the expected range.

That indicator uses the ATR (Average True Range) to calculate where those levels will be. I'm looking for something that does it based on percentage moves.

For example, .5% Above and below price, 1% above and below price, 2% above a below price. Vertical lines that show on the chart where these levels are on a daily time frame.

Anyone know of an study like that for charts?

Thanks @MerryDay ! I do have the newest Volatility Range Indicator and it's awesome, I was referring to the second chart @xXTheEpicOneXx posted (the one that marks percentage moves. For example, .5% Above and below price, 1% above and below price, 2% above a below price. Vertical lines that show on the chart where these levels are on a daily time frame)
