Recherche dans les scripts pour "stop loss"
Safe Scalpy Stop Loss. Percentage from price visualizer.This is my first script I have published so bear with me.
I have thrown this together so you can easily see on the chart where -0.5%, -1% and -2% would be from the last candle close. I also replicated these to show positive values in case you are shorting.
I have also added a custom value setting so you can set the line at whatever percentage value you like and included an adjustable recent higher high and higher low finder to help create a recent range as it seems to work well in tandem for scalping range based price movement.
You can turn all these things on and off in the settings on the style checkboxes.
I felt the need to make this because I like to scalp trade with leverage like a total degen from time to time. Often the setups happen very quickly. It is difficult to calculate where to set a stop loss in a hurry so I keep a fixed account size/lev and just vary the position percentage size based on the percentage of the stop loss from the current price.
Sometimes when switching from a lower volatility chart to high volatility one it is easy to get caught out by quickly entering a scalp trade only to find you made your position way too big or you shouldn't have entered at all. You thought it was only moving 0.2% per candle instead of 3%. Whoops. Rekt.
This indicator is all about trying to help me avoid that with a visual clue to back up the bad maths I do quickly in my head.
I often hide it and only show it when I'm ready to enter a position to double check my SL and entry are set in a sensible area.
I thought I would publish it in case someone else finds such a simple tool handy.
Apologies if there is already something out there that does this job. I couldn't find it.
See you all on the moon.
PG ATR based Stop LossA stoploss system that enables traders to exit with limited loss or even trailing loss.
Use the levels of indicator against the candle that has seen signidicant move for running positions and the candle in which a new position is taken.
Example : For long Nifty Future at 14990 levels, when Indicator is showing 14820 at bottom on a 30 min chart, 14820 can be used as a stop loss,
similarly for short conditions upper values above top of he candle will be followed.
For medium term ongoing positions, use the levels marked against candle that offered a major move, or the candles that has put the underlying in a new price zone or range.
15-30 minutes are suitable period for intraday / short term trades. Two hours or day periods can be used for positional trades.
**Queries are welcme.**
[CP]ATR Triple Stop Loss LevelsATR based Triple Stop Loss levels that are plotted on the chart (like moving averages!).
With ATR Levels plotted on the price chart itself, you can better set your volatility based trailing Stop Loss.
Also helps to define the SL when making an entry into a stock.
Note:
This indicator is supposed to be used on Daily and Weekly Charts.
For other timeframes you would need to tweek the default parameters.
AG Trailing Stop LossThis is an indicator we have used extensively for a systematic way of trailing our stop loss, hence the name TSL - Trailing Stop Loss.
In a nutshell, it is based off Average True Range calculations.
We use it dynamically with the example of when markets are in high volatility, the SL should be trailed tighter to lock in more profit in case the volatility turns around and the market goes against our position. When markets are smooth sailing, e.g. no unusual volatility, the SL can be trailed at a "regular" distance. For longer-term trades or when you may expect the market to pullback but continue in the direction of your position, you can trail the SL using the "wide" setting.
All parameters are editable, but I would suggest leaving the defaults as they are. In this version, I have included 3 different styles of TSL that can be easily toggled on/off depending on which TSL setting you wish to see/use - close, regular, and/or wide.
Step-Based Trailing Stop-Loss IndicatorThis indicator is built for momentum traders who want to maximize winning trades and minimize losses through a smart, step-based trailing stop-loss system. Instead of using a fixed Take Profit, this tool dynamically protects profits once the trade reaches a favorable RR (Risk-to-Reward) level.
How It Works:
Manual Entry Input
You enter your Entry Price and select Buy/Sell in the settings.
This flexibility allows backtesting or live trade tracking.
Initial Setup
Default SL: 50 ticks(Tested on us30,but works on any pair you just need to adjust SL)
TP for reference: 4R — can be used for benchmarking, but we don't limit profits with a hard TP.
Trailing Logic
Once price reaches 3R in profit:
The SL begins trailing.
It starts at 2R, keeping a 1R cushion behind the max profit.
For every 0.5R gain, SL also moves up by 0.5R:
Example: At 3.5R → SL is at 2.5R
At 5.0R → SL is at 4.0R
This trailing continues until the SL is hit or the trend exhausts.

Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) IndicatorSmart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) Indicator
The Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) Indicator creates a stop loss level that dynamically adapts to market conditions.
How It Works / How To Calculate:
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initially sets a stop loss level at a specified percentage (default 2%, user-adjustable) below the current price.
2. **Upward Movement**: As the price rises, the stop loss level moves up as well. However, it always remains at the specified percentage below the highest price reached. This allows the price room to move while protecting gains.
3. **Downward or Sideways Movement**: When the price falls or moves sideways, the stop loss level remains static. This prevents premature exits during minor pullbacks or consolidations.
4. **Price Crosses Below Stop Loss**: If the price drops below the stop loss level, the indicator resets. It sets a new stop loss level at the specified percentage below the low of the candle where the crossover occurred.
5. **Continuous Adaptation**: This process repeats across the entire chart, constantly adjusting to price movements.
note: When the price intersects with the dynamic stop loss line, it resets at 2% below the candle's lowest value (this is the default value, but it can be adjusted by the user)
Key Features
- **User-Configurable**: The stop loss percentage can be adjusted by the user.
- **Visual Alerts**: The indicator plots the stop loss line on the chart.
- **Triggered Signals**: Optional visual signals are displayed when the stop loss is triggered.
- **Information Display**: A data box shows the current stop loss level.
Usage
1. Apply the indicator to the chart.
2. Adjust the stop loss percentage if desired (default is 2%).
3. Monitor the dynamic stop loss level.
4. Watch for visual alerts for potential signals.

Apex Edge Sentinel - Stop Loss HUDApex Edge – ATR Sentinel Stop Loss HUD
The Apex Edge – ATR Sentinel is a complete stop-loss intelligence system built as a clean, always-on HUD.
It delivers institutional-level risk guidance by calculating and displaying live ATR-based stop levels for both long and short trades at multiple risk tolerances.
Forget cluttered charts and repainting lines — Sentinel gives you a clear stop-loss reference panel that updates dynamically with every bar.
✅ Features
• Triple ATR Multipliers
User-defined (e.g. x1.5 / x2.0 / x2.5). Compare tight, medium, and wide stops instantly.
• Dual-Side SL Levels
Both Long and Short safe stop prices displayed side by side. No more guessing trend
bias.
• ATR Transparency
HUD shows ATR(length) so you always know the calculation basis. Default = 14, adjustable
to your style.
• ATR Regime Meter
Detects volatility conditions (LOW / NORMAL / HIGH) by comparing ATR to its SMA. Helps
you avoid over-tight stops in high-volatility markets.
• Tick-Aware Rounding
Stop levels auto-rounded to the instrument’s tick size (Gold = 0.10, FX = 0.0001, indices =
whole points).
Custom HUD Design
• Location: Top/Bottom, Left/Right
• Sizes: Compact / Medium / Large (desktop or mobile)
• Opacity control (25% default Apex styling)
How to Use
1. Load Sentinel on your chart.
2. Check the HUD:
• ATR(14): 2.6 → base volatility measure.
• x1.5 / x2.0 / x2.5 → instant SL levels for both long & short trades.
3. Before entering a trade → decide which multiplier matches your style (tight scalper vs wider swing).
4. Manually place your SL at the level displayed in the HUD.
Sentinel works as both:
• A pre-trade check (is ATR stop too wide for my RR?).
• A live risk compass (updated stop levels every bar).
Why Apex Sentinel?
Most ATR stop indicators clutter charts with lagging lines or repainting trails. Sentinel strips it back to what matters:
• The numbers.
• The risk levels.
• The context.
It’s a pure stop-loss HUD, designed for serious traders who want clarity, discipline, and instant reference points across any market or timeframe.
Notes
• This is a HUD-only system (no automatic SL line). Traders manually apply the SL level
shown in the panel.
• Defaults: ATR(14), multipliers 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5. Adjust to your trading style.
• Best used on intraday pairs like XAUUSD, EURUSD, indices, but works universally.
Apex Edge Philosophy: Clean. Smart. Institutional.
No clutter. No gimmicks. Just precision tools for modern markets.
Dynamic Stop Loss Optimizer [BackQuant]Dynamic Stop Loss Optimizer
Overview
Stop placement decides expectancy. This tool gives you three professional-grade, adaptive stop engines, ATR, Volatility, and Hybrid. So your exits scale with current conditions instead of guessing fixed ticks. It trails intelligently, redraws as the market evolves, and annotates the chart with clean labels/lines and a compact stats table. Pick the engine that fits the trade, or switch on the fly.
What it does
Calculates three adaptive stops in real time (ATR-based, Volatility-based, and Hybrid) and keeps them trailed as price makes progress.
Shows exactly where your risk lives with on-chart levels, color-coded markers (long/short), and precise “Risk %” labels at the current bar.
Surfaces context you actually use - current ATR, daily volatility, selected method, and the live stop level—in a tidy, movable table.
Fires alerts on stop hits so you can automate exits or journal outcomes without staring at the screen.
Why it matters
Adaptive risk control: Stops expand in fast tape and tighten in quiet tape. You’re not punished for volatility; you’re aligned with it.
Consistency across assets: The same playbook works whether you’re trading indexes, FX, crypto, or equities, because the engine normalizes to each symbol’s behavior.
Cleaner decision-making: One chart shows your entry idea and its invalidation in the same breath. If price trespasses, you know it instantly.
The three methods (choose your engine)
1) ATR Based “Structure-aware” distance
This classic approach keys off Average True Range to set a stop just beyond typical bar-to-bar excursion. It adapts smoothly to changing ranges and respects swing structure.
Use when: you want a steady, intuitive buffer that tracks trend legs without hugging price.
See it in action:
2) Volatility Based “Behavior-aware” distance
This engine derives stop distance from current return volatility (annualized, then scaled back down to the session). It reacts to regime shifts quickly and normalizes risk across symbols with very different prices.
Use when: you want the stop to breathe with realized volatility and respond faster to heat-ups/cool-downs.
See it in action:
3) Hybrid “Best of both worlds”
The Hybrid blends the ATR and Volatility distances into one consensus level, then trails it intelligently. You get the structural common sense of ATR and the regime sensitivity of Vol.
Use when: you want robust, all-weather behavior without micromanaging inputs.
See it in action:
How it trails
Longs: The stop ratchets up with favorable movement and holds its ground on shallow pullbacks. If price closes back into the risk zone, the level refreshes to the newest valid distance.
Shorts: Mirror logic ratchets down with trend, resists noise, and refreshes if price reclaims the zone.
Hybrid trailing: Uses the blended distance and the same “no give-backs” principle to keep gains protected as structure builds.
Reading the chart
Markers: Circles = ATR stops, Crosses = Vol stops, Diamonds = Hybrid. Colors indicate long (red level under price) vs short (green level above price).
Lines: The latest active stop is extended with a dashed line so you can see it at a glance.
Labels: “Long SL / Short SL” shows the exact price and current risk % from the last close no math required.
Table: ATR value, Daily Vol %, your chosen Method, the Current SL, and Risk %—all in one compact block that you can pin top-left/right/center.
Quick workflow
Define the idea: Long or Short, and which engine fits the tape (ATR, Vol, or Hybrid).
Place and trail: Let the optimizer print the level; trail automatically as the move develops.
Manage outcomes: If the line is tagged, you’re out clean. If it holds, you’ve contained heat while giving the trade room to work.
Inputs you’ll actually touch
Calculation Settings
ATR Length / Multiplier: Controls the “structural” cushion.
Volatility Length / Multiplier: Controls the “behavioral” cushion.
Trading Days: 252 or 365 to keep the volatility math aligned with the asset’s trading calendar.
Stop Loss Method
ATR Based | Volatility Based | Hybrid : Switch engines instantly to fit the trade.
Position Type
Long | Short | Both : Show only what you need for the current strategy.
Visual Settings
Show ATR / Vol / Hybrid Stops: Toggle families on/off.
Show Labels: Print price + Risk % at the live stop.
Table Position: Park the metrics where you like.
Coloring
Long/Short/Hybrid colors: Set a palette that matches your theme and stands out on your background.
Practical patterns to watch
Trend-pullback continuation: The stop ratchets behind higher lows (long) or lower highs (short). If price tests the level and rejects, that’s your risk-defined continuation cue.
Break-and-run: After a clean break, the Hybrid will usually sit slightly wider than pure Vol, use it to avoid getting shaken on the first retest.
Range compression: When the ATR and Vol distances converge, the table will show small Risk %. That’s your green light to size up with the same dollar risk, or keep it conservative if you expect expansion.
Alerts
Long Stop Loss Hit : Notifies when price crosses below the live long stop.
Short Stop Loss Hit : Notifies when price crosses above the live short stop.
Why this feels “set-and-serious”
You get a single look that answers three questions in real time: “Where’s my line in the sand?”, “How much heat am I taking right now?”, and “Is this distance appropriate for current conditions?” With ATR, Vol, and Hybrid in one tool, you can run the exact same playbook across symbols and regimes while keeping your chart clean and your risk explicit.

Realtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical OverlayRealtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical Overlay
A simple, effective tool for dynamic risk management based on ATR (Average True Range) without adding cluttered and distracting lines all over your chart.
📌 Description
This script plots a real-time stop loss level using the Average True Range (ATR) on your chart, helping you set consistent, volatility-based stops. It supports both:
✅ Current chart timeframe
✅ Custom fixed timeframe inputs (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, etc.)
The stop level is calculated as:
Stop = ATR × Multiplier
and updates in real-time. An overlay table displays on the bottom-right of your chart with the calculated stop value in a clean, simple way.
⚙️ Settings
ATR Timeframe Source:
Choose between using the current chart's timeframe or a fixed one (e.g. 5, 15, 60, D, etc).
ATR Length:
Period used to calculate the ATR (default is 14).
Stop Loss Multiplier:
Multiplies the ATR value to define your stop (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
Wait for Timeframe Closes:
If enabled, the ATR value waits for the selected timeframe’s candle to close before updating. If unselected, it will update in real time.
🛠️ How to Use
Add this script to your chart from your indicators list.
Configure your desired timeframe, ATR length, and multiplier in the settings panel.
Use the value shown in the table overlay as your suggested stop loss distance from entry.
Adjust your position sizing accordingly to fit your risk tolerance.
This tool is especially useful for traders looking for adaptive risk management that evolves with market volatility — whether scalping intraday or swing trading.
💡 Pro Tip
The ATR stop can also be used to dynamically trail your stop behind price movement.

Dynamic Stop Loss & Take ProfitDynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit is a versatile risk management indicator that calculates dynamic stop loss and take profit levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator helps traders set adaptive exit points by using a configurable ATR multiplier and defining whether they are in a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) trade.
How It Works
ATR Calculation – The indicator calculates the ATR value over a user-defined period (default: 14).
Stop Loss and Take Profit Multipliers – The ATR value is multiplied by a configurable factor (ranging from 1.5 to 4) to determine volatility-adjusted stop loss and take profit levels.
Trade Type Selection – The user can specify whether they are in a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) trade.
Long (Buy) Trade:
Stop Loss = Entry Price - (ATR × Stop Loss Multiplier)
Take Profit = Entry Price + (ATR × Take Profit Multiplier)
Short (Sell) Trade:
Stop Loss = Entry Price + (ATR × Stop Loss Multiplier)
Take Profit = Entry Price - (ATR × Take Profit Multiplier)
Features
Configurable ATR length and multipliers
Supports both long and short trades
Clearly plotted Stop Loss (red) and Take Profit (green) levels on the chart
Helps traders manage risk dynamically based on market volatility
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to set adaptive stop loss and take profit levels without relying on fixed price targets.

Vwap Stop lossThe VWAP Stop Loss indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders determine where to set their stop loss levels based on the Volume-Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ).
This indicator calculates the VWAP based on a specified length and multiplies it by a factor, which helps determine the distance for the stop loss levels.
When using this indicator, the red line represents the short stop loss level and the teal line represents the long stop loss level.
The lines will adjust automatically with the changing price action to ensure they always remain at the appropriate distance from the VWAP .
This indicator can be used on any time frame and for any market, making it a versatile tool for traders.
It can help you manage your risk by providing an objective method for setting stop loss levels, which can help increase the chances of successful trades.
Additionally, this indicator can also be used in combination with other technical indicators to help make more informed trading decisions.
Trail Blaze - (Multi Function Trailing Stop Loss) - [mutantdog]Shorter version:
As the title states, this is a 'Trailing Stop' type indicator, albeit one with a whole bunch of additional functionality, making it far more versatile and customisable than a standard trailing stop.
The main set of features includes:
Three independent trailing types each with their own +/- multipliers:
- Standard % change
- ATR (aka Supertrend)
- IQR (inter-quartile range)
These can be used in isolation or summed together. A subsequent pair of direction specific multipliers are also included.
Two separate custom source inputs are available, both feature the standard options alongside a selection of 'weighted inputs' and the option to use another indicator (selected via 'AUX'):
- 'Centre' determines the value about which the trailing sum will be added to define the stop level.
- 'Trigger' determines the value used for crossing of stops, initiating trend changes and triggering alerts.
A selection of optional filters and moving averages are available for both.
Furthermore there are various useful visualisation options available, including the underlying bands that govern the stop levels. Preset alerts for trend reversals are also included.
This is not really an 'out-of-the-box' indicator. Depending upon the market and timeframe some adjustments will be necessary for it to function in a useful manner, these can be as simple or complex as the feature-set allows. Basic settings are easy to dial in however and the default state is intended as a good starting point. Alternatively with some experimentation, a plethora of unique and creative configurations are possible, making this a great tool for tweaking. Below is a more detailed overview followed by a bunch of simple example settings.
------------------------
Lengthy Version :
DESIGN & CONCEPT
Before we start breaking this down, a little background. This started off as an attempt to improve upon the ever-popular Supertrend indicator. Of course there are many excellent user created variants available utilising some interesting methods to overcome the drawbacks of the basic version. To that end, rather than copying the work of others, the direction here shifted towards a hybrid trailing stop loss with a bunch of additional user customisation options. At some point, a completely different project involving IQR got morphed into this one. After sitting through months of sideways chop (where this proved to be of limited use), at the time of publication the market has began to form some near term trend direction and it appears to be performing well in many different timeframes.
And so with that out of the way...
INPUTS
The standard Supertrend (and most other variants) includes a single source input, as default set to 'hl2' (candle mid-range). This is the centre around which the atr bands are added/subtracted to govern the stop levels. This is not however the value which is used to trigger the trend reversal, that is usually hard-coded to 'close'. For this version both source values are adjustable: labelled 'centre' and 'trigger' respectively.
Each has custom input selectors including the usual options, a selection of 'weighted inputs' and the option to use another indicator (selected from the Aux input). The 'weighted inputs' are those introduced in Weight Gain 4000, for more details please refer to that listing. These should be treated as experimental, however may prove useful in certain configurations. In this case 'hl-oc2' can be considered an estimate of the candle median and may be a good alternative to the default 'centre' setting of 'hl2', in contrast 'cc-ohlc4' can tend to favour the extremes in the trend direction so could be useful as a faster 'trigger' than the default 'close'.
To cap them off both come with a selection of moving average filters (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, VWMA and a simple VWEMA - note: not elastic) aswell as median and mid-range. 'Centre' can also be set to the output of 'trigger' post-filter which can be useful if working with fast/slow crosses as the basis.
DYNAMICS
This is the main section, comprised of three separate factors: 'TSL', 'ATR' and 'IQR'. The first two should be fairly obvious, 'TSL' (trailing stop loss) is simply a percentage of the 'centre' value while 'ATR' (average true range) is the standard RMA-based version as used in Supertrend, Volatility Stop etc.
The third factor is less common however: 'IQR' (inter-quartile range). In case you are unfamiliar the principle here is, for a given dataset, the greatest 25% and smallest 25% of samples are removed. The remainder is then treated as a set and the range is calculated by highest - lowest. This is a commonly used method in statistical analysis, by removing the extremes it is less prone to influence by outliers and gives a good representation of the main dispersion around the median. In practise i have found it can be a good alternative to ATR, translating better across multiple time-frames due to it representing a fraction of the total range rather than an average of per-candle range like ATR. Used in combination with the others it can also add a factor more representative of longer-term/higher-timeframe trend. By discarding outliers it also benefits from not being impacted by brief pumps/volatility, instead responding only to more sustained changes in trend, such as rallies and parabolic moves. In order to give an accurate result the IQR is calculated using a dataset of high, low and hlcc4 values for all bars within the lookback length. Once calculated this value is then halved which, strictly speaking, makes it a semi-interquartile range.
All three of these components can be used individually or summed together to create a hybrid dynamics factor. Furthermore each multiplier can be set to both positive and negative values allowing for some interesting and creative possibilities. An optional smoothing filter can be applied to the sum, this is a basic SWMA-4 which is can reduce the impact of sudden changes but does incur a noticeable lag. Finally, a basic limiter condition has been hard-coded here to prevent the sum total from ever going below zero.
Capping off this section is a pair of direction multipliers. These simply take the prior dynamics sum and allow for further multiplication applied only to one side (uptrend/lo-stop and downtrend/hi-stop). To see why this is useful consider that markets often behave differently in each direction, we've all seen prices steadily climb over several weeks and then abruptly dump in the process of a day or two, shorter time frames are no stranger to this either. A lack of downside liquidity, a panicked market, aggressive shorts. All these things contribute to significant differences in downward price action. This function allows for tighter stops in one direction compared to the other to reflect this imbalance.
VISUALISATIONS
With all of these options and possibilities, some visual aids are useful. Beneath the dynamics' section are several visual options including both sources post-filter and the actual 'bands' created by the dynamics. These are what govern the stop levels and seeing them in full can help to better understand what our various configurations actually do. We can even hide the stop levels altogether and just use the bands, making this a kind of expanded Keltner Channel. Here we can also find colour and opacity settings for everything we've discussed.
EXAMPLES
The obvious first example here is the standard %-change trailing stop loss which, from my experience, tends to be the best suited for lower time frames. Filtering should probably minimal here. In both charts here we use the default config for source inputs, the top is a standard bi-directional setup with 1.5% tsl while the bottom uses a 2.5% tsl with the histop multiplier reduced to 0 resulting in an uptrend only stoploss.
Shown here in grey is the standard Supertrend which uses 'hl2' as centre and 'close' as trigger, ATR(10) multiplied by 3. On top we have the default filtered source config with ATR(8) multiplied by 2 which gives a different yet functionally similar result, below is the same source config instead using IQR(12) multiplied by 2. Notice here the more 'stepped' response from IQR following the central rally, holding back for a while before closing in on price and ultimately initiating reversal much sooner. Unlike ATR, the length parameter for IQR is absolute and can more significantly affect its responsiveness.
Next we focus on the visualisation options, on top we have the default source config with ATR(8) multiplied by 2 and IQR(12) multiplied by 1. Here we have activated the switch to show 'bands', from this we can see the actual summed dynamics and how it influences the stop levels. Below that we have an altogether different config utilising the included filters which are now visible. In this example we have created a basic 8/21 EMA cross and set a 1% TSL, notice the brief fakeout in the middle which ordinarily might indicate a buy signal. Here the TSL functions as an additional requirement which in this case is not met and thus no buy signal is given.
Finally we have a couple of more 'experimental' examples. On top we have Lazybear's 'Variable Moving Average' in white which has been assigned via 'aux' as the centre with no additional filtering, the default config for trigger is used here and a basic TSL of 1.5% added. It's a simple example but it shows how this can be applied to other indicators. At the bottom we return to the default source config, combining a TSL of 8% with IQR(24) multiplied by -2. Note here the negative IQR with greater length which causes the stop to close in on price following significant deviations while otherwise remaining fairly wide. Combining positive and negative multiples of each factor can yield mixed results, some more useful than others depending upon suitable market conditions.
Since this has been quite lengthy, i shall leave it there. Suffice to say that there are plenty more ways to use this besides these examples. Please feel free to share any of your own ideas in the comments below. Enjoy.
ATR Stop Loss and Take Profit FinderThe purpose of this tool is to help the trader determine a safe stop loss price and take profit which dynamically changes due to ATR (Average True Range)
This tool uses the concept of
ATR (Average True Range)
Risk Reward Ratio (Money Management method)
How is ATR Stop Loss and Take Profit Finder working
Step 1 ) Tool will calculate TR(True Range
Step 2) Then the TR will be used to find the Average value of X time frame, using 5 math models: RMA SMA EMA WMA and LSMA
Step 3) The value from Step 2 will be multiplied by the factor, and the result is ATR
After we got ATR Value, the Tool will find 2 lines: Upper Band and Lower Band which will function as a Stoploss value for both Short and Long trade
ATR Stop Loss and Take Profit Finder will be using Upper Band and Lower Band to calculate Take profit price. A trader can set their Target Risk Reward Ratio by setting
How to use ATR Stop Loss and Take Profit Finder
ATR Stop Loss and Take Profit Finder is not an indicator, it is only a tool to help the trader quickly find their stop loss/take profit price. t
For open long position, We comment trade to switch mode of 'Type of open Position to be long. Same as short which is need to be changed to short
Flow Trend I: Trend Signals (with stop loss and invalidation)Description
Flow Trend I is a Trend Following & Analysis indicator.
It attempts to characterize Long or Short trends to give a trader more confidence when opening a trade.
It can also be used as an analysis tool with no direct trading or investment in mind.
The calculation is based on Support & Resistance levels: S/R levels are calculated then we assume when price breaks out of a certain level, a new trend starts.
Blue candle: LONG trend (positive returns)
Orange candle: SHORT trend (negative returns)
Grey candle: NEUTRAL trend (not conclusive, price within S/R levels)
The indicator also provides other features:
Long/Short signals (arrows): a point to buy when a trend is confirmed
Stop Loss Level (green line): volatility based stop loss
Invalidation level (dotted lines): a point to exit the trade manually
Markets
This indicator has been designed for cryptocurrency markets in mind but is useful on trending markets in general. Avoid range bound markets (low timeframes, forex...) where trends are minimal and stop will be often hit. Avoid "low satoshi" coins (for example DOGE) as they break calculations: tight ranges make it difficult to see trends.
Entry
If the indicator shows a Blue (long) arrow, taking a long position is advised.
Open price reference is the close price of a confirmed candle marked by an arrow.
Stop Loss
Position Sizing is mandatory when following a trend indicator, the following can be applied to any indicator:
- Use the Green line (volatility stop) as the Stop Loss (if price goes lower, trade will be closed)
- Trades should be sized so a fixed % of a portfolio is lost in the event of a stop being hit (1%... 2%)
Stops are meant as protection only, they should not be hit often.
Exit
If there is a candle close under the Invalidation level (dotted line), close the trade.
If there is an opposite signal (for example: yellow candle while in a long trade), close or reduce position size.
As the trade progresses, you can move the stop loss up, following the green line to secure profits!
Take profit
No take profit points are provided explicitly.
More notes
- Scaling-in: it is interesting to build a position slowly to control risk. For example, if the position to open is 1000 units. Open 1/4 after a signal, then 1/4 the next day if the trend is still long (Blue) and so on until the position has been fully built.
- Configuration:
* Long/Short signals: they can be toggled in the script options to show Long only, Short only or both.
* Trend Confirmation: defines how many periods the algo waits before showing a signal. The default is 1, meaning, 1 candle is needed after a trend starts to show a signal. Lower values creates more signals, higher values less.
* Stop Loss Factor: increasing this will increase the stop distance (which in result will lower your position size)
- Multi timeframe analysis:
Use the indicator on multiple timeframes to get the big picture: what is the current trend on the weekly? then daily? then 4h?
There are trends within trends... Does it makes sense take risk shorting the 4h if there is a long trend on the daily?
* Position sizing calculation example:
- 1000$ portfolio, RISK per trade: 2%
- RISK = 2% of 1000 = 20$
- TSLA price is 500$
- Stop price: 450$
= SIZE: RISK / (Open Price - Stop Price) = 20 / (500 - 450) = 0.4 TSLA stock
