Indicator: Status of the market (choppy,trending, ...)

Hey, does anyone know an indicator which will "tell" you, or at least try to, how the market is behaving?
I mean, if its flat, choppy, trending,...?

If not, any info I should read to be able to identify and maybe do it myself?

Thx!

u can detect that by yourself.
anyway, i think the ToR indicator can help u here. look for it.

Here is an indicator for volatility.
See if it makes any sense. It wasn't of much use to me.

It wasnt of much use to me either....but i think it can be!
Any link about more info on it....?i would like to know the author/thread etc!

Regards

I don't remember exactly but it was part of an EA probably found in forex-tsd.

Thx u guys!
What SupremeChaos posted is exactly what I was looking for.... thankyou!!
