Chieu - Bollinger Bands SMA 50 StrategyOverview
The Custom Bollinger Bands Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify potential market reversals and optimize their trading strategies. This indicator combines Bollinger Bands with an ATR-based stop-loss mechanism, configurable take-profit levels, and dynamic position sizing to manage risk effectively. By highlighting key market conditions and providing clear visual cues, it enables traders to make informed decisions and execute trades with precision.
Key Features
Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The indicator calculates Bollinger Bands based on a configurable Simple Moving Average (SMA) length.
Standard deviation multiplier is adjustable, allowing traders to fine-tune the width of the bands.
Candlestick Highlighting:
Candles that touch the upper or lower Bollinger Bands are highlighted, indicating potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Reversal candles are identified and highlighted based on specific criteria:
The candle must touch the Bollinger Bands for two consecutive periods.
The reversal candle must have a body at least twice the size of the previous candle's body.
The reversal candle must close in the opposite direction to the previous candle (e.g., a bullish candle following a bearish one).
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:
Stop-loss levels are calculated using the ATR (Average True Range) indicator, ensuring they are dynamically adjusted based on market volatility.
Two configurable take-profit levels (1R and 2R) are plotted based on the initial risk (distance between entry and stop-loss).
Take-profit and stop-loss lines are visually represented on the chart for easy reference.
Position Sizing and Risk Management:
The indicator includes configurable inputs for account balance, leverage, and risk percentage.
It calculates the nominal value (position size without leverage) and cost value (position size with leverage) based on the specified risk parameters.
Combined labels display SL, TP, nominal value, and cost value, replacing the default "Reversal" text for clear, concise information.
Customization Options:
Users can configure the length of the take-profit lines.
The option to toggle the highlighting of candles touching the Bollinger Bands on or off, while always highlighting the identified reversal candles.
How to Use
Configuration:
Set the desired SMA length and Bollinger Bands multiplier in the input settings.
Configure the ATR length for accurate stop-loss calculations.
Adjust the risk-reward ratio and take-profit line length according to your trading strategy.
Specify your account balance, leverage, and risk percentage for precise position sizing.
Chart Analysis:
Monitor the chart for candles touching the upper or lower Bollinger Bands. These highlights indicate potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Look for highlighted reversal candles, which meet the specified criteria and suggest a potential market reversal.
Use the plotted stop-loss and take-profit lines to manage your trades effectively. The combined labels provide all necessary information (SL, TP, nominal value, and cost value) for quick decision-making.
Execution and Risk Management:
Enter trades based on the reversal candle signals.
Set your stop-loss at the indicated level using the ATR calculation.
Take partial profits at the first take-profit level (1R) and adjust your stop-loss to the entry point to secure the remaining position.
Exit the trade entirely at the second take-profit level (2R) or if the price returns to the adjusted stop-loss level.

Engulfing with Fibonacci LevelsIndicator Explanation
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and plots Fibonacci levels based on these patterns. Here's a detailed explanation of the script:
1. Bullish Engulfing Pattern
A bullish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bearish (`close < open `).
- The current candle is bullish (`close > open`).
- The low of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle (`low < low `).
- The current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's open (`close > open `).
When a bullish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the low (0%) to the high (100%) of the bullish candle.
- A green dot is plotted below the bullish candle to indicate a buy signal.
2. Bearish Engulfing Pattern
A bearish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bullish (`close > open `).
- The current candle is bearish (`close < open`).
- The high of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle (`high > high `).
- The current candle's close is lower than the previous candle's open (`close < open `).
When a bearish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the high (0%) to the low (100%) of the bearish candle.
- A red dot is plotted above the bearish candle to indicate a sell signal.
3. Plotting Fibonacci Levels
For both bullish and bearish patterns, Fibonacci levels are plotted at:
- 0% (high for bullish, low for bearish)
- 50%
- 61.8%
- 79%
- 100% (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Explanation
Bearish Signal
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a bearish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Buy Side Liquidity Grab**: The high of the current bearish candle goes above the high of the previous bullish candle, potentially grabbing buy-side liquidity (stop losses of short positions or buy stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bearish candle below the open of the previous bullish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bearish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bearish candle.
2. Enter a sell trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the downward move.
#### Bullish Signal
Similarly, a bullish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Sell Side Liquidity Grab**: The low of the current bullish candle goes below the low of the previous bearish candle, potentially grabbing sell-side liquidity (stop losses of long positions or sell stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bullish candle above the open of the previous bearish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bullish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bullish candle.
2. Enter a buy trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the upward move.
The indicator helps traders identify key engulfing patterns that align with smart money concepts of liquidity grabs and breaks of structure. By plotting Fibonacci levels, it visually aids traders in waiting for optimal retracement levels (50%) to enter trades in the direction of the anticipated move. This approach leverages the idea that significant market participants often seek liquidity and cause structural shifts, providing entry opportunities for informed traders.
Prometheus Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE)This indicator uses market data to calculate Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) on an asset, so traders can have a better idea of which direction it may go.
Users can control the lookback length for the fractal calculation, the lookback length for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and whether or not to display lines at the -50 and 50 level, or -25 and 25 level.
Polarized Fractal Efficiency:
The Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator is a value between -100 and 100 with 0 as a midpoint.
A PFE above 0 indicates the asset may trend higher, a PFE below 0 indicates the asset may trend lower.
There are many ways to trade with PFE, the intuitive trend riding as described above, or reversals.
Even when the PFE is above 0, if it gets high enough, it may also be an indication of a reversal. A PFE of 90 - 100, or -100 - -90, may indicate price is ready to revert the other direction. Furthermore, traders already in a position may look to breaks of other levels to be their take profit or stop out spot.
Calculation:
Pi = 100 x (Price - Price )2 + N2 / Summation, j= 0, to N-2 (Price - Price )2 + 1
If Close < Close Pi = -Pi
PFEi = EMA(Pi, M)
Where:
N = period of indicator
M = smoothing period
Citation: www.investopedia.com
Scenarios:
Inputs are (9, 5) and every display option is on.
Trend example
Step 1: A short trade appears as PFE crosses below -25. We reach a safe take profit as PFE crosses below -50. Traders can use these levels to exit as well as enter.
Step 2: On the cross above 25 there is a safe long. As the PFE value breaks 0 a safe, early take profit could be appropriate for this trade. No guarantee we would see 50.
Step 3: Long scenario at break of 25, straight to 50. Simple, straightforward setup.
Step 4: This long results in a stop loss. Once again entry as PFE crosses 25, but as we cross the 0 line it is for a loss.
Step 5: The last trade in this example is reminiscent of step 3. This is a short trade entry at break of 25 and exit at break of 50.
Traders have liberty to use the PFE value to determine spots to enter and exit trades, long or short. 25 and 50 were chosen arbitrarily, values like 10 and 60 may work as well, we encourage traders to use their own discretion along with tools.
Reversal example
Step 1: PFE is around -100, crossing below it at one point! Strong zone for a potential reversal.
Step 2: PFE crosses above 25 adding conviction.
Step 3: Option to exit at 70.
Step 4: Option to exit at 90.
There is no “one size fits all method”, this approach may be more intuitive for some users and is just as feasible as the first.
Longer trend example
Step 1: Using -50 and 50 this time instead of -25 and 25 to be safer on our entries we see a short here. Was a good entry and as the value gets closer to -70 we can safely close.
Step 2: On this candle we see a long for the break of 50. On the next candle we break the 0 line, but because of our safe entry at 50, we could hold this and only stop out at a break of -25. We get close but stay in it and close at 70.
Step 3: Break of 50 for a long once again. This time the break of 0 line occurs as we are in profit, not letting a green trade go red is a golden rule of trading, so an early exit here.
Step 4: Same at step 2, break of 50 to long and stay in it, not stopping out at break of 0 line. The PFE value eventually reaches 70 and there is a good exit.
Quicker Reversal example
Step 1: Notice a close with PFE below -90, enter long for the reversal. Then close for profit when the PFE crosses above 70.
Step 2: When the PFE breaks above 90 we have a short entry. Like the long closing it when it crosses below -70.
Step 3: This step is the same setup as step 2. As PFE breaks above 90 we have a short entry. Closing it when it crosses below -70.
Recap:
Described above are 4 different examples with many different trades. Both trend and reversal trades. The PFE value is an indicator that can be used by traders in many different ways and Prometheus encourages traders to use their own discretion along with tools and not follow indicators blindly.
Options:
Users can control the input for the lookback of the indicator. The default is 9.
The smoothing factor for the EMA is also changeable, default is 5.
Users have options to display lines at -50, -25, 25, and 50.

Trade Exit Calculator [MarketSignalsPro]█ OVERVIEW
This Pine Script calculates a Stop Loss and Take Profit order suggestion based on the Average True Range (ATR). This provides a market generated visual reference for the user to better gauge risk and profit potential for their trades. This is not a trade signal system, it is a tool best used in conjunction with an existing system.
█ FEATURES
Inputs:
stopLossMultiplier and takeProfitMultiplier : These are input parameters that allow the user to adjust the multiplier for calculating stop loss and take profit levels.
longIndicator : This input parameter determines whether the script is calculating levels for a long setup (buy) or a short setup (sell).
Variable Initialization:
Various variables are initialized to manage labels, lines, and calculated stop loss and take profit levels.
ATR (Average True Range) is calculated using a period of 14.
Calculation of Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Depending on the value of longIndicator stop loss and take profit levels are not calculated the same way.
For long setups, stop loss is calculated below the closing price and take profit above, while for short setups, it's the opposite.
The calculation involves multiplying the ATR value by the user-defined multipliers and adding or subtracting from the closing price accordingly.
Plotting Lines:
Lines representing the calculated stop loss, take profit, and entry price are plotted on the chart.
Displaying Labels:
Labels displaying the calculated stop loss, take profit, and entry price are shown on the chart alongside the respective lines.
Updating and Deleting Objects:
Existing lines and labels are updated or deleted to ensure only the most recent levels are displayed on the chart.
Final Output:
The script outputs visual representations of stop loss, take profit, and entry price levels on the chart, providing traders with guidance for risk management and profit-taking strategies based on the volatility of the market.
█ CONCLUSION
In summary, this Pine Script enhances trading strategies by calculating and illustrating stop loss and take profit levels based on the Average True Range indicator, offering traders a structured way to manage risk and profit potential.

Trend Following Parabolic Buy Sell Strategy [TradeDots]The Trend Following Parabolic Buy-Sell Strategy leverages the Parabolic SAR in combination with moving average crossovers to deliver buy and sell signals within a trend-following framework.
This strategy synthesizes proven methodologies sourced from various trading tutorials available on platforms such as YouTube and blogs, enabling traders to conduct robust backtesting on their selected trading pairs to assess the strategy's effectiveness.
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy employs four key indicators to orchestrate its trading signals:
1. Trend Alignment: It first assesses the relationship between the price and the predominant trendline to determine the directional stance—taking long positions only when the price trends above the moving average, signaling an upward market trajectory.
2. Momentum Confirmation: Subsequent to trend alignment, the strategy looks for moving average crossovers as a confirmation that the price is gaining momentum in the direction of the intended trades.
3. Signal Finalization: Finally, buy or sell signals are validated using the Parabolic SAR indicator. A long order is validated when the closing price is above the Parabolic SAR dots, and similarly, conditions are reversed for short orders.
4. Risk Management: The strategy institutes a fixed stop-loss at the moving average trendline and a take-profit level determinable by a prefixed risk-reward ratio calculated from the moving average trendline. These parameters are customizable by the users within the strategy settings.
APPLICATION
Designed for assets exhibiting pronounced directional momentum, this strategy aims to capitalize on clear trend movements conducive to achieving set take-profit targets.
As a lagging strategy that waits for multiple confirmatory signals, entry into trades might occasionally lag beyond optimal timing.
Furthermore, in periods of consolidation or sideways movement, the strategy may generate several false signals, suggesting the potential need for additional market condition filters to enhance signal accuracy during volatile phases.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 70%
Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and style.

Returns: (void)
ticks_to_price(ticks, from)
Converts ticks to a price offset from the supplied price or the average entry price.
Parameters:
ticks (float) : (float) Ticks to convert to a price.

method exit(this, id, from_entry, qty, qty_percent, profit, limit, loss, stop, trail_price, trail_points, trail_offset, oca_name, comment, comment_profit, comment_loss, comment_trailing, alert_message, alert_profit, alert_loss, alert_trailing, when)
It is a command to exit either a specific entry, or whole market position. If an order with the same ID is already pending, it is possible to modify the order. If an entry order was not filled, but an exit order is generated, the exit order will wait till entry order is filled and then the exit order is placed. To deactivate an exit order, the command strategy.cancel or strategy.cancel_all should be used. If the function strategy.exit is called once, it exits a position only once. If you want to exit multiple times, the command strategy.exit should be called multiple times. If you use a stop loss and a trailing stop, their order type is 'stop', so only one of them is placed (the one that is supposed to be filled first). If all the following parameters 'profit', 'limit', 'loss', 'stop', 'trail_points', 'trail_offset' are 'NaN', the command will fail. To use market order to exit, the command strategy.close or strategy.close_all should be used.

Channels With NVI Strategy [TradeDots]The "Channels With NVI Strategy" is a trading strategy that identifies oversold market instances during a bullish trading market. Specifically, the strategy integrates two principal indicators to deliver profitable opportunities, anticipating potential uptrends.
2 MAIN COMPONENTS
1. Channel Indicators: This strategy gives users the flexibility to choose between Bollinger Band Channels or Keltner Channels. This selection can be made straight from the settings, allowing the traders to adjust the tool according to their preferences and strategies.
2. Negative Volume Indicator (NVI): An indicator that calculates today's price rate of change, but only when today's trading volume is less than the previous day's. This functionality enables users to detect potential shifts in the trading volume with time and price.
ENTRY CONDITION
First, the assets price must drop below the lower band of the channel indicator.
Second, NVI must ascend above the exponential moving average line, signifying a possible flood of 'smart money' (large institutional investors or savvy traders), indicating an imminent price rally.
EXIT CONDITION
Exit conditions can be customized based on individual trading styles and risk tolerance levels. Traders can define their ideal take profit or stop loss percentages.
Moreover, the strategy also employs an NVI-based exit policy. Specifically, if the NVI dips under the exponential moving average – suggestive of a fading trading momentum, the strategy grants an exit call.
RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading entails substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. All content, tools, scripts, articles, and education provided by TradeDots serve purely informational and educational purposes. Past performances are not definitive predictors of future results.

Relative Strength Index(RSI)- Range (60-40)Custom RSI Indicator:
The Custom RSI Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assess the momentum of a financial instrument's price movements within a specified range. Unlike the traditional RSI, which typically operates within a range of 0 to 100, this customized version focuses on a narrower spectrum between 40 and 60, providing clearer signals for traders.
Key Features:
Bullish and Bearish Zones: The indicator delineates between bullish and bearish sentiment. When the RSI value climbs above 60, it signals bullish momentum, indicating potential uptrends in the price. Conversely, when the RSI dips below 40, it suggests bearish sentiment, signaling potential downtrends.
Overbought and Oversold Conditions: Additionally, the Custom RSI Indicator identifies extreme market conditions. When the RSI surpasses 80 , it denotes overbought territory, suggesting that the asset may be overvalued and prone to a reversal or correction. Conversely, when the RSI falls below 30 , it indicates oversold conditions, suggesting that the asset may be undervalued and ripe for a potential rebound.
Default RSI Comparison: The Custom RSI Indicator can be compared against the traditional RSI for added context. While the customized range provides more precise signals within the 60-40 spectrum, referencing the default RSI can offer broader insights into market dynamics.
Usage:
Trend Identification: Traders can utilize the Custom RSI Indicator to identify potential trend reversals or continuations based on shifts in momentum within the specified range.
Confirmation Tool: It can serve as a confirmation tool alongside other technical indicators or price action analysis, enhancing the overall reliability of trading decisions.
Risk Management: By recognizing overbought and oversold conditions, traders can implement risk management strategies such as setting stop-loss orders or adjusting position sizes to mitigate potential losses.
Conclusion:
The Custom RSI Indicator offers traders a focused perspective on market momentum within the 60-40 range, facilitating more accurate assessments of bullish and bearish sentiment as well as identifying extreme market conditions. By incorporating this tool into their analysis, traders can make informed decisions and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.
ORB Algo | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ORB Algo indicator! ORB stands for "Opening Range Breakout" which is a common trading strategy. The indicator can analyze the market trend in the current session and give "Buy / Sell", "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" signals. For more information about the analyzing process of the indicator, you can read "How Does It Work ?" section of the description.
Features of the new ORB Algo indicator :
Buy & Sell Signals
Up To 3 Take Profit Signals
Stop-Loss Signals
Alerts for Buy / Sell, Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
Customizable Algoritm
Session Dashboard
Backtesting Dashboard
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
This indicator works best in 1-minute timeframe. The idea is that the trend of the current session can be forecasted by analyzing the market for a while after the session starts. However, each market has it's own dynamics and the algorithm will need fine-tuning to get the best performance possible. So, we've implemented a "Backtesting Dashboard" that shows the past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with your current settings. Always keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results.
Here are the steps of the algorithm explained briefly :
1. The algorithm follows and analyzes the first 30 minutes (can be adjusted) of the session.
2. Then, algorithm checks for breakouts of the opening range's high or low.
3. If a breakout happens in a bullish or a bearish direction, the algorithm will now check for retests of the breakout. Depending on the sensitivity setting, there must be 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 failed retests for the breakout to be considered as reliable.
4. If the breakout is reliable, the algorithm will give an entry signal.
5. After the position entry, algorithm will now wait for Take-Profit or Stop-Loss zones and signal if any of them occur.
If you wonder how does the indicator find Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones, you can check the "Settings" section of the description.
🚩UNIQUENESS
While there are indicators that show the opening range of the session, they come short with features like indicating breakouts, entries, and Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones. We are also aware of that different stock markets have different dynamics, and tuning the algorithm for different markets is really important for better results, so we decided to make the algorithm fully customizable. Besides all that, our indicator contains a detailed backtesting dashboard, so you can see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker. While past performance does not yield any guarantee for future results, we believe that a backtesting dashboard is necessary for tuning the algorithm. Another strength of this indicator is that there are multiple options for detection of Take-Profit and Stop-Loss zones, which the trader can select one of their liking.
⚙️SETTINGS
Keep in mind that best chart timeframe for this indicator to work is the 1-minute timeframe.
TP = Take-Profit
SL = Stop-Loss
EMA = Exponential Moving Average
OR = Opening Range
ATR = Average True Range
1. Algorithm
ORB Timeframe -> This setting determines the timeframe that the algorithm will analyze the market after a new session begins before giving any signals. It's important to experiment with this setting and find the best option that suits the current ticker for the best performance. More volatile stocks will often require this setting to be larger, while more stabilized stocks may have this setting shorter.
Sensitivity -> This setting determines how much failed retests are needed to take a position entry. Higher senstivity means that less retests are needed to consider the breakout as reliable. If you think that the current ticker makes strong movements in a bullish & bearish direction after a breakout, you should set this setting higher. If you think the opposite, meaning that the ticker does not decide the trend right after a breakout, this setting show be lower.
(High = 0 Retests, Medium = 1 Retest, Low = 2 Retests, Lowest = 3 Retests)
Breakout Condition -> The condition for the algorithm to detect breakouts.
Close = Bar needs to close higher than the OR High Line in a bullish breakout, or lower than the OR Low Line in a bearish breakout. EMA = The EMA of the bar must be higher / lower than OR Lines instead of the close price.
TP Method -> The method for the algorithm to use when determining TP zones.
Dynamic = This TP method essentially tries to find the bar that price starts declining the current trend and going to the other direction, and puts a TP zone there. To achieve this, it uses an EMA line, and when the close price of a bar crosses the EMA line, It's a TP spot.
ATR = In this TP method, instead of a dynamic approach the TP zones are pre-determined using the ATR of the entry bar. This option is generally for traders who just want to know their TP spots beforehand while trading. Selecting this option will also show TP zones at the ORB Dashboard.
"Dynamic" option generally performs better, while the "ATR" method is safer to use.
EMA Length -> This setting determines the length of the EMA line used in "Dynamic TP method" and "EMA Breakout Condition". This is completely up to the trader's choice, though the default option should generally perform well. You might want to experiment with this setting and find the optimal length for the current ticker.
Stop-Loss -> Algorithm will place the Stop-Loss zone using setting.
Safer = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR High for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR Low for a bearish entry.
Balanced = The SL zone will be placed in the center of OR High & OR Low
Risky = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR Low for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR High for a bearish entry.
Adaptive SL -> This option only takes effect if the first TP zone is hit.
Enabled = After the 1st TP zone is hit, the SL zone will be moved to the entry price, essentially making the position risk-free.
Disabled = The SL zone will never change.
2. ORB Dashboard
ORB Dashboard shows the information about the current session.
3. ORB Backtesting
ORB Backtesting Dashboard allows you to see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with current settings.
Total amount of days that can be backtested depends on your TV subscription.
Backtesting Exit Ratios -> You can select how much of percent your entry will be closed at any TP zone while backtesting. For example, %90, %5, %5 means that %90 of the position will be closed at the first TP zone, %5 of it will be closed at the 2nd TP zone, and %5 of it will be closed at the last TP zone.
Intraday FIB ScalpingThe Intraday Fibonacci Levels Indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance trading decisions in intraday markets. Leveraging the dynamic nature of Fibonacci retracement levels, this indicator utilizes the high and low prices observed within the first 15 minutes of the trading session to plot key levels and establish potential entry and exit zones.
Key Features:
Automatic Calculation: The indicator swiftly calculates Fibonacci retracement levels based on the highest high and lowest low recorded during the initial 15 minutes of the trading day. This ensures a quick and accurate representation of potential support and resistance levels.
Zone Marking for Precision: The indicator marks specific zones on the chart, providing traders with clear visual cues for potential entry and exit points. These zones are strategically aligned with Fibonacci levels, offering a systematic approach to decision-making.
User-Friendly Interface: With a user-friendly interface, the Intraday Fibonacci Levels Indicator is suitable for both novice and experienced traders. The intuitive design allows for easy interpretation of signals and levels.
By harnessing the power of Fibonacci retracement levels and incorporating them into an intraday context, this indicator empowers traders with a systematic and data-driven approach to decision-making. Whether identifying entry points, setting stop losses, or planning exit strategies, the Intraday Fibonacci Levels Indicator serves as a valuable ally in navigating the complexities of intraday trading.
How to Trade using these Levels?
With this indicator, you can see all the levels between whole number and its corresponding 0.272 were highlighted. That is where we need to look for intraday trade entry. If any of the level broken on either side and the bar closes below ore above the highlighted area, we should enter the trade in that direction with immediate next FIB level as TP1 and subsequent level as TP2. And, an opposite directional close above or below the highlighted level will be considered as stop loss exit.
We prefer to trade in 3 minutes or 5 minutes timeframe for intraday trading.
How we plot the levels?
We are incorporating ORB into Fibonacci to plot intraday trading levels. We use high and low of first 15 minutes candle of each new trading session to arrive the levels for that session.
When market is trading above or below initially plotted levels, user can extend the levels by enabling extentions provided in user settings
ATR Based Stoploss - TakeProfit [CharmyDexter]
This script combines the power of Average True Range (ATR) and a Moving Average (MA) to dynamically set stop-loss and take-profit levels. It introduces a volatility surge condition and includes a risk management table for comprehensive trade insights.
1) **Originality:**
- This script is original in its approach to combining Average True Range (ATR) with a Moving Average (MA) to create a dynamic stop-loss and take-profit strategy. The addition of a volatility surge condition and the inclusion of a risk management table further contribute to its uniqueness.
2) **Functionality:**
- The script aims to provide traders with a dynamic stop-loss and take-profit strategy based on ATR, incorporating a volatility surge condition and a moving average. The risk management table displays crucial information, including the fund size, potential profit/loss, ATR values, and risk.
3) **Operation:**
- The script uses ATR to calculate volatility, identifying surges in volatility. It adjusts the stop-loss and take-profit levels based on the average of ATR during these surge periods. The moving average acts as a trend indicator, and the script dynamically adjusts stop-loss and take-profit levels accordingly.
4) **Usage:**
- Traders can use this script by applying it to their preferred financial instrument's chart. The script automatically plots the moving average and dynamically adjusts stop-loss and take-profit levels based on ATR and volatility surges. Users can observe the levels on the chart for potential trade management.
5) **Concepts:**
- The script employs concepts of ATR for volatility, moving average for trend identification, and a dynamic adjustment mechanism during volatility surges. Risk management is incorporated by calculating potential profit/loss percentages based on user-defined risk.
6) **Mashup Explanation:**
- The script combines ATR, moving average, and volatility conditions to create a comprehensive strategy. ATR determines the market's volatility, the moving average serves as a trend indicator, and volatility surges trigger dynamic adjustments to stop-loss and take-profit levels. The risk management table enhances the script's utility.
7) **Line Descriptions:**
- Blue Line (Moving Average): Indicates the trend direction.
- Lime Line (Long Take Profit): Represents the level for taking profit in a long position.
- Maroon Line (Short Take Profit): Represents the level for taking profit in a short position.
- Fuchsia Line (Short Stop Loss): Represents the level for setting a stop loss in a short position.
- Orange Line (Long Stop Loss): Represents the level for setting a stop loss in a long position.
8) **Line Usage:**
- Use the blue line for trend identification.
- When taking long positions, the close should be above the blue line.
- For long positions, the lime line is a potential take-profit level, and the orange line is a potential stop-loss level.
- For short positions, the maroon line is a potential take-profit level, and the fuchsia line is a potential stop-loss level.
- The risk management table provides insights into fund size, potential profit/loss, ATR values, and risk.
Note: The profit/loss calculations in this script may not be entirely accurate due to factors like market execution. Market execution may not always occur at the exact levels specified by the script due to slippage or delays in order processing. This can impact the realized profit or loss compared to the calculated levels.
It is crucial to note that this ATR Based Stop-loss - Take-Profit indicator is merely one tool among many that traders can employ to establish trading targets. Additional technical indicators are essential for taking trades and making informed decisions.
Commented-out sections for alerts and shape plotting are provided, allowing for visual and auditory notifications if desired.
It's crucial for traders to be aware of these factors and use the script as a tool within a broader trading strategy. Additionally, regular monitoring and adjustments based on real-time market conditions are recommended to enhance the accuracy of profit/loss assessments.
Breakout Detector (Previous MTF High Low Levels) [LuxAlgo]The Breakout Detector (Previous MTF High Low Levels) indicator highlights breakouts of previous high/low levels from a higher timeframe.
The indicator is able to: display take-profit/stop-loss levels based on a user selected Win/Loss ratio, detect false breakouts, and display a dashboard with various useful statistics.
Do note that previous high/low levels are subject to backpainting, that is they are drawn retrospectively in their corresponding location. Other elements in the script are not subject to backpainting.
🔶 USAGE
Breakouts occur when the price closes above a previous Higher Timeframe (HTF) High or below a previous HTF Low.
On the advent of a breakout, the closing price acts as an entry level at which a Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) are placed. When a TP or SL level is reached, the SL/TP box border is highlighted.
When there is a breakout in the opposite direction of an active breakout, previous breakout levels stop being updated. Not reaching an SL/TP level will result in a partial loss/win,
which will result in the box being highlighted with a dotted border (default). This can also be set as a dashed or solid border.
Detection of False Breakouts (default on) can be helpful to avoid false positives, these can also be indicative of potential trend reversals.
This indicator contains visualization when a new HTF interval begins (thick vertical grey line) and a dashboard for reviewing the breakout results (both defaults enabled; and can be disabled).
As seen in the example above, the active, open breakout is colored green/red.
You can enable the setting ' Cancel TP/SL at the end of HTF ', which will stop updating previous TP/SL levels on the occurrence of a new HTF interval.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Principles
Every time a new timeframe period starts, the previous high and low are detected of the higher timeframe. On that bar only there won't be a breakout detection.
A breakout is confirmed when the close price breaks the previous HTF high/low
A breakout in the same direction as the active breakout is ignored.
A breakout in the opposite direction stops previous breakout levels from being updated.
Take Profit/Stop Loss, partially or not, will be highlighted in an easily interpretable manner.
🔹 Set Higher Timeframe
There are 2 options for choosing a higher timeframe:
• Choose a specific higher timeframe (in this example, Weekly higher TF on a 4h chart)
• Choose a multiple of the current timeframe (in this example, 75 minutes TF on a 15 min chart - 15 x 5)
Do mind, that when using this option, non-standard TFs can give less desired timeframe changes.
🔹 Setting Win/Loss Levels
The Stop Loss (SL) / Take Profit (TP) setting has 2 options:
W%:L% : A fixed percentage is chosen, for TP and SL.
W:L : In this case L (Loss-part) is set through Loss Settings , W (Win-part) is calculated by multiplying L , for example W : L = 2 : 1, W will be twice as large as the L .
🔹 Loss Settings
The last drawing at the right is still active (colored green/red)
The Loss part can be:
A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) of the last 200 bars.
A multiple of the Range Cumulative Mean (RCM).
The Latest Swing (with Length setting)
Range Cumulative Mean is the sum of the Candle Range (high - low) divided by its bar index.
🔹 False Breakouts
A False Breakout is confirmed when the price of the bar immediately after the breakout bar returns above/below the breakout level.

ATH Drawdown Indicator by Atilla YurtsevenThe ATH (All-Time High) Drawdown Indicator, developed by Atilla Yurtseven, is an essential tool for traders and investors who seek to understand the current price position in relation to historical peaks. This indicator is especially useful in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies and stocks, offering insights into potential buy or sell opportunities based on historical price action.
This indicator is suitable for long-term investors. It shows the average value loss of a price. However, it's important to remember that this indicator only displays statistics based on past price movements. The price of a stock can remain cheap for many years.
1. Utility of the Indicator:
The ATH Drawdown Indicator provides a clear view of how far the current price is from its all-time high. This is particularly beneficial in assessing the magnitude of a pullback or retracement from peak levels. By understanding these levels, traders can gauge market sentiment and make informed decisions about entry and exit points.
2. Risk Management:
This indicator aids in risk management by highlighting significant drawdowns from the ATH. Traders can use this information to adjust their position sizes or set stop-loss orders more effectively. For instance, entering trades when the price is significantly below the ATH could indicate a higher potential for recovery, while a minimal drawdown from the ATH may suggest caution due to potential overvaluation.
3. Indicator Functionality:
The indicator calculates the percentage drawdown from the ATH for each trading period. It can display this data either as a line graph or overlaid on candles, based on user preference. Horizontal lines at -25%, -50%, -75%, and -100% drawdown levels offer quick visual cues for significant price levels. The color-coding of candles further aids in visualizing bullish or bearish trends in the context of ATH drawdowns.
4. ATH Level Indicator (0 Level):
A unique feature of this indicator is the 0 level, which signifies that the price is currently at its all-time high. This level is a critical reference point for understanding the market's peak performance.
5. Mean Line Indicator:
Additionally, this indicator includes a 'Mean Line', representing the average percentage drawdown from the ATH. This average is calculated over more than a thousand past bars, leveraging the law of large numbers to provide a reliable mean value. This mean line is instrumental in understanding the typical market behavior in relation to the ATH.
Disclaimer:
Please note that this ATH Drawdown Indicator by Atilla Yurtseven is provided as an open-source tool for educational purposes only. It should not be construed as investment advice. Users should conduct their own research and consult a financial advisor before making any investment decisions. The creator of this indicator bears no responsibility for any trading losses incurred using this tool.

YinYang RSI Volume Trend StrategyThere are many strategies that use RSI or Volume but very few that take advantage of how useful and important the two of them combined are. This strategy uses the Highs and Lows with Volume and RSI weighted calculations on top of them. You may be wondering how much of an impact Volume and RSI can have on the prices; the answer is a lot and we will discuss those with plenty of examples below, but first…
How does this strategy work?
It’s simple really, when the purchase source crosses above the inner low band (red) it creates a Buy or Long. This long has a Trailing Stop Loss band (the outer low band that's also red) that can be adjusted in the Settings. The Stop Loss is based on a % of the inner low band’s price and by default it is 0.1% lower than the inner band’s price. This Stop Loss is not only a stop loss but it can also act as a Purchase Available location.
You can get back into a trade after a stop loss / take profit has been hit when your Reset Purchase Availability After condition has been met. This can either be at Stop Loss, Entry or None.
It is advised to allow it to reset in case the stop loss was a fake out but the call was right. Sometimes it may trigger stop loss multiple times in a row, but you don’t lose much on stop loss and you gain lots when the call is right.
The Take Profit location is the basis line (white). Take Profit occurs when the Exit Source (close, open, high, low or other) crosses the basis line and then on a different bar the Exit Source crosses back over the basis line. For example, if it was a Long and the bar’s Exit Source closed above the basis line, and then 2 bars later its Exit Source closed below the basis line, Take Profit would occur. You can disable Take Profit in Settings, but it is very useful as many times the price will cross the Basis and then correct back rather than making it all the way to the opposing zone.
Longs:
If for instance your Long doesn’t need to Take Profit and instead reaches the top zone, it will close the position when it crosses above the inner top line (green).
Please note you can change the Exit Source too which is what source (close, open, high, low) it uses to end the trades.
The Shorts work the same way as the Long but just opposite, they start when the purchase source crosses under the inner upper band (green).
Shorts:
Shorts take profit when it crosses under the basis line and then crosses back.
Shorts will Stop loss when their outer upper band (green) is crossed with the Exit Source.
Short trades are completed and closed when its Exit Source crosses under the inner low red band.
So, now that you understand how the strategy works, let’s discuss why this strategy works and how it is profitable.
First we will discuss Volume as we deem it plays a much bigger role overall and in our strategy:
As I’m sure many of you know, Volume plays a huge factor in how much something moves, but it also plays a role in the strength of the movement. For instance, let’s look at two scenarios:
Bitcoin’s price goes up $1000 in 1 Day but the Volume was only 10 million
Bitcoin’s price goes up $200 in 1 Day but the Volume was 40 million
If you were to only look at the price, you’d say #1 was more important because the price moved x5 the amount as #2, but once you factor in the volume, you know this is not true. The reason why Volume plays such a huge role in Price movement is because it shows there is a large Limit Order battle going on. It means that both Bears and Bulls believe that price is a good time to Buy and Sell. This creates a strong Support and Resistance price point in this location. If we look at scenario #2, when there is high volume, especially if it is drastically larger than the average volume Bitcoin was displaying recently, what can we decipher from this? Well, the biggest take away is that the Bull’s won the battle, and that likely when that happens we will see bullish movement continuing to happen as most of the Bears Limit Orders have been fulfilled. Whereas with #2, when large price movement happens and Bitcoin goes up $1000 with low volume what can we deduce? The main takeaway is that Bull’s pressured the price up with Market Orders where they purchased the best available price, also what this means is there were very few people who were wanting to sell. This generally dictates that Whale Limit orders for Sells/Shorts are much higher up and theres room for movement, but it also means there is likely a whale that is ready to dump and crash it back down.
You may be wondering, what did this example have to do with YinYang RSI Volume Trend Strategy? Well the reason we’ve discussed this is because we use Volume multiple times to apply multiplications in our calculations to add large weight to the price when there is lots of volume (this is applied both positively and negatively). For instance, if the price drops a little and there is high volume, our strategy will move its bounds MUCH lower than the price actually dropped, and if there was low volume but the price dropped A LOT, our strategy will only move its bounds a little. We believe this reflects higher levels of price accuracy than just price alone based on the examples described above.
Don’t believe us?
Here is with Volume NOT factored in (VWMA = SMA and we remove our Volume Filter calculation):
Which produced -$2880 Profit
Here is with our Volume factored in:
Which produced $553,000 (55.3%)
As you can see, we wen’t from $-2800 profit with volume not factored to $553,000 with volume factored. That's quite a big difference! (Please note previous success does not predict future success we are simply displaying the $ amounts as example).
Now how about RSI and why does it matter in this strategy?
As I’m sure most of you are aware, RSI is one of the leading indicators used in trading. For this reason we figured it would only make sense to incorporate it into our calculations. We fiddled with RSI for quite awhile and sometimes what logically seems to be the right way to use it isn’t. Now, because of this, our RSI calculation is a little odd, but basically what we’re doing is we calculate the RSI, then turn it into a percentage (between 0-1) that can easily be multiplied to the price point we need. The price point we use is the difference between our high purchase zone and our low purchase zone. This allows us to see how much price movement there is between zones. We multiply our zone size with our RSI multiplication and we get the amount we will add +/- to our basis line (white line). This officially creates the NEW high and low purchase zones that we are actually using and displaying in our trades.
If you found that confusing, here are some examples to why it is an important calculation for this strategy:
Before RSI factored in:
Which produced 27.8% Profit
After RSI factored in:
Which produced 553% Profit
As you can see, the RSI makes not only the purchase zones more accurate, but it also greatly increases the profit the strategy is able to make. It also helps ensure an relatively linear profit slope so you know it is reliable with its trades.
This strategy can work on pretty much anything, but you should tweak the values a bit for each pair you are trading it with for best results.
We hope you can find some use out of this simple but effective strategy, if you have any questions, comments or concerns please let us know.
HAPPY TRADING!
Time Session Filter - MACD exampleTime Session Filter in TradingView Strategy: A Comprehensive Guide
Welcome to this educational TradingView blog where we dive deep into the functionality and utility of the time session filter in trading strategies. It's interesting to note that the time session filter is a commonly overlooked feature in Pine Script, often not integrated into overall trading strategies. Yet, when used wisely, this tool can significantly enhance your trading approach. In essence, the session filter ensures that trades are only made within a specific, user-defined time frame. By incorporating this often-neglected building block, you can make your strategy more adaptable to various market conditions and trading preferences.
What is a Time Session Filter?
A time session filter is designed to:
Select Times of the Day to Trade: The filter allows you to choose specific hours during the day in which trades are allowed to be excecuted.
Toggle Days to Trade: You can decide which days of the week you want to trade, giving you the flexibility to avoid days that are historically not profitable for your strategy.
Close Trade When Session Ends: The filter can automatically close any open trade once the specified time session concludes, reducing the risk associated with holding positions outside your chosen time frame.
The user interface is streamlined, taking minimal space for the input sections, making it convenient to integrate with other indicators in your overall strategy script. In addition the script colors the background of the chart green when the timesession filter is on and makes the background red when the filter doesn't allow any trades. This helps you to visualise the selected timeframes in relation to chart patterns.
Best Practices for Time Selection
From my personal trading experience I share some input settings you can try to play around with:
Stocks: Trading stocks sometimes yield better results if you only trade in the mornings until lunchtime. This is the period when markets are generally more active, and traders are keenly participating.
Cryptocurrencies: For cryptocurrencies, it sometimes makes sense to avoid trading on Fridays, a day when futures contracts often expire. Various other market-moving events also typically occur on Fridays.
Random Selection: Interestingly, sometimes choosing a random selection of times and days can improve the script's performance, adding an element of unpredictability that might outperform more systematic approaches.
Strategy Overview
This strategy script incorporates various elements, including risk position size and MACD indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy. For a detailed explanation of risk position sizing, please refer to this article:
For a complete understanding of the MACD indicator utilized, visit the following explanation:
Additionally, for high time frame trend filters, consult this resource for more info:
Educational Purposes and Risks
Please note that this script is for educational purposes and serves merely as an example of how to incorporate a time session filter into a trading strategy for pinescript. It is a simplified strategy without a fixed stop-loss, which can result in higher exposure to significant losses. The time session filter can be a powerful addition to your trading strategy, providing you with the tools to tailor your approach according to time-specific market conditions. By understanding its functionalities and best practices, you can make more informed trading decisions, but always remember that trading carries inherent risks.
Happy trading!
Value At RiskThe Value at Risk Channel (VaR Channel) is a trading indicator designed to assist traders in managing their risk exposure effectively. By allowing users to select a specific time period and a probability value, this indicator generates upper and lower limits that the price might potentially attain within the chosen timeframe and probability range.
CONCEPTS
This indicator employs the concept of Value at Risk (VaR) calculation, a crucial metric in risk management. VaR quantifies the potential financial loss within a position, portfolio, or company over a defined time period. Financial institutions like banks and investment firms use VaR to estimate the extent and likelihood of potential losses in their portfolios.
The "historical method" is utilized to compute VaR within the indicator. This method analyzes the historical performance of returns and constructs a histogram representing the statistical distribution of past returns. Assuming returns adhere to a normal distribution, probabilities are assigned to different return values based on their position in the distribution percentile.
HOW TO USE
Suppose you wish to plot upper and lower price limits for a 4-hour period with a 5% probability. Access the indicator's Settings tab and set the Timeframe parameter to "4 hours" while configuring the Probability parameter to 5.0.
The indicator serves as a tool to determine appropriate Stop-Loss levels triggering with low probability. Additionally, it helps gauge the likelihood of triggering such levels.
Likewise, you can assess the probability of your desired Take-Profit level being reached within a specified time frame. For instance, if you anticipate your target to be achieved within a week, set the Timeframe parameter to "1 week" and adjust the Probability parameter to align the VaR channel's limits with your Take-Profit level. The resulting Probability parameter value reflects the likelihood of your target being met within the expected time frame.
This indicator proves valuable for evaluating and managing risk, as well as refining trading strategies. If you discover other applications for this indicator, feel free to share them in the comments!
SETTINGS
Timeframe: Designates the time period within which the price might touch the VaR channel's upper or lower boundary, considering the specified Probability parameter.
Probability: Defines the likelihood of the price reaching the VaR channel's upper or lower limit during the timeframe determined by the Timeframe parameter.
Window: Establishes the historical period (number of past bars) utilized for VaR calculation.
Moving Average With Risk:Reward**Title: A Detailed Guide to Using the Moving Average With Risk:Reward Indicator**
The dynamic world of financial markets offers a myriad of opportunities for market participants to make profitable trades. However, to unlock these opportunities, traders require reliable tools to guide their decisions, tools such as technical indicators. One such indicator is the 'Moving Average With Risk:Reward' Indicator, a versatile tool that combines the simple moving average (SMA), exponential moving average (EMA), Average True Range (ATR) indicator, and automated entry, stop-loss, and take-profit markers to provide a comprehensive analysis of market trends. This article aims to detail the use and interpretation of this indicator.
**Understanding the Building Blocks**
1. **Moving Averages (SMA & EMA):**
Moving averages are arguably some of the most common tools used by traders worldwide. They help smooth out price data to form a trend following indicator. Our custom indicator utilizes both a 21-period SMA, which averages the closing prices of the past 21 periods, and a 9-period EMA, which gives more weight to recent prices. The difference in sensitivity between these two moving averages forms the basis of our trade signals.
2. **Average True Range (ATR):**
The ATR is an essential component of our indicator. It measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period. It plays a critical role in determining the stop loss and take profit levels in our indicator, as detailed later.
**How the Indicator Works**
Our custom indicator works by generating buy or sell signals based on crossover and crossunder events between the SMA and EMA. A crossover occurs when the EMA (more sensitive to recent prices) crosses above the SMA, indicating upward momentum and hence triggering a buy signal. Conversely, a crossunder, where the EMA moves below the SMA, indicates increasing downward momentum and generates a sell signal.
Upon the generation of a signal, the indicator draws lines on the chart to represent the entry point, stop loss, and take profit levels. The user has the freedom to adjust the color of these lines for visual clarity. The script will also delete previous lines whenever a new signal is generated to avoid clutter and confusion.
**Determining the Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels**
Our custom indicator uses the ATR and a predetermined multiplier to calculate stop loss and take profit levels, thus incorporating market volatility into these critical decisions. The user can input their preferred multiplier for both stop loss and take profit.
Stop Loss (SL): SL is set at a level that is the ATR value multiplied by the stop-loss multiplier subtracted from (for a long position) or added to (for a short position) the closing price.
Take Profit (TP): Conversely, TP is set at a level that is the ATR value multiplied by the take-profit multiplier added to (for a long position) or subtracted from (for a short position) the closing price.
These SL and TP levels get plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, extending to the right. Labels are also placed to easily identify these levels.
**Making the Most of the Indicator**
A significant advantage of this indicator lies in its simplicity and clarity. Traders can clearly see the entry point, stop loss, and take profit levels on the chart. They can modify these levels based on their risk tolerance or trading strategy.
The combination of SMA and EMA offers the best of both worlds, with SMA providing a lagging, stable trend indication and EMA offering a more responsive indication to recent price changes. The indicator's use of ATR for SL and TP settings also ensures that these levels adapt to changing market volatility.
It is essential to remember that while this indicator can be an invaluable tool in a trader's arsenal, it is not infallible. Markets can often behave unpredictably, and even the most robust and reliable indicators can occasionally generate false signals. Therefore, traders should always employ sound money management strategies and use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis to confirm signals and make informed trading decisions.
In conclusion, the Moving Average With Risk:Reward indicator provides a comprehensive and versatile tool that can significantly enhance trading strategies. Its integration of trend-following moving averages, volatility-adjusted stop loss and take profit levels, and clear chart visualizations make it a potent tool in the financial markets. By fully understanding how to interpret and utilize this indicator, traders can navigate the markets with increased confidence and precision.
