An ATR (Average True Range) can be used to position a trailing stop
In this script, the true range of today is calculated based on the low of yesterday in order to be more stable.
It only goes up, as a trailing stop should do.
It only goes down when the trailing stop is reached by the price.
The calculation of this ATR is based on the low of yesterday in order to not change continuously during the day.
You can use this indicator to create a trailing stop taking into account volatility on the nATRPeriod previous days.
It also always go up as a trailing stop should. It only goes down the price reaches the trailing stop.
This is Average True Range indicator, but it is smoothed with Hull MA ( not WMA etc )
It is set to overlay the candles so looks different from normal ATR but i assure you it is ATR
Script open so you can see for yourself.
perhaps different settings are better,
Help me test it, and suggest improvements thankyou
This is a Normalized ATR, which means it displays ATR as a percentage instead of absolute price. For example, a value of 1 indicates a true range of 1% in a given period.
This indicator creates a moving average of the volatility of a product going back X number of periods and is useful for deciding what to trade. For example, if used on a daily chart, one...
I created this indicator to primarily manually test other indicators in replay mode.
To use this indicator generally you will:
Select trade type: long or short
Enter your ATR (enter the actual ATR). The indicator will then calculate and plot your SL and targets based on your values
Default Stop Loss is ATR * 1.5
Default Target 1 is ATR * 1.5
Default...
This indicator plots 2 sets of dots (and lines) based on your chosen ATR multiplier (Average True Range).
Generally, when trading on the daily timeframe a good rule of thumb is to use the ATR * 1.5 (the default setting of this indicator).
I created this indicator to quickly test other indicators but I also find it helpful in live trading.
How to use this...
This indicator takes the average of a series of ATR to calculate what I would consider an optimum stop loss placement represented in percentage (read below for full overview).
While the data is plotted what is most helpful are the actual numbers presented and for my charts I remove most of the plotting.
This indicator is most helpful on the daily timeframe but...
This indicator shares ATR pips and a calculated 1.5 x stop loss calculation.
1st number is ATR.
2nd number is ATR x 1.5 (a typical SL when trading daily time frame).
The plot lines are really not that important- it's the actual numbers.
What I do is uncheck the plot line checkboxes (ATR & SL) so it doesn't show up, that way I can reduce the indicator...
//These signals mostly consist of crossovers between a 13 VWMA and a 62 VWMA. I've found these two moving averages to be quite special in their ability to
//recognize a quick trend using volume data. The VWAP is used in the alert system as well, to give some perspective on which direction we are looking to take. We
//are also using ATR. We only take trades when...
ATR based stop trails.
The top trail is basically lowest ATR since the last candle hit (with given length and multiplication) added to candle high.
The bottom trail is analogic.
My strategy uses a combination of three indicators MACD Stochastic RSI .
The Idea is to buy when ( MACD > Signal and RSI > 50 and Stochastic > 50) occures at the same time the BUY STop we place on previous day HIGH
We exit on Take profit or Stop loss which is calculated by ATR (10) or on the opposite signal "Volatility breakout"
This strategy works well on...
This script defines an average true range where extreme events are filtered out.
Extreme events are those bars with a true range larger than 3*sigma+average,
where average and standard deviation are estimated from the last 200 bars.
In this way the ATR is not altered by exceptional events (e.g. the flash crash of Jan 3rd 2019)
and can still be used safely for...
This indicator estimates price volatility and it is based on ATR only.
The advantage of this indicator is that it can be used with any pair, any time frame.
The fluctuations of a short period ATR with respect to a gently ATR with high period
are calculated.
The only parameters are the periods of the reference ATR and fast ATR, which could be
safely let untouched...
