This is ATR in pips. This was requested by user @ElixiumCapital on Twitter. ATRPIPs in his words:

How to use: Change the chart to the Daily time frame. The indicators value e.g. 0.0105 means that the average daily range of the past 5 trading days is 105 pips. (On standard pairs like EURUSD, GBPUSD)

"ATR PIPs is useful for finding markets with your desired amount of volatility, for example I prefer to trade forex pairs with the highest amount of volatility in the past 5 days, setting the length parameter to 5 days. And setting my stop loss at 25% to 33% of the the indicators value."

Fixed: Default parameters and a critical bug.
