ATR BandsIt has happened to everybody. You enter the market, the position gets a stop loss, then later the market goes in the direction you originally planned. Worse yet - you enter a position, the market goes in your favor, gets near the target, and then it reverses and you get stopped.
We brazilians call this a "violinado", or getting violinated. It happens either because:
1. You put the stop loss too close, or the target too far
2. You entered in the right direction, but at a wrong time
While the second point cannot be programmly adressed, the first can. One popular way of setting a stop loss is by using the average of the true range, it even has a built-in indicator in TV. The problem with it is that you can still get violinated, since as the trend develops, the stop loss only goes up, never down. So if you enter at the wrong time, one slip can still take you out of the market.
Since I got sick of losing money using a conventional stop loss, I made these ATR bands. When you add this indicator to your graph, 6 lines are going to show up, 3 above the price, 3 below it. These lines are calculated from the ATR of the last 20 periods (can be configurated). The upper lines are the high of the last candle + the ATR * the multiplicator factor, the lower lines are the low - ATR * multiplicator factor. There are three multiplicator factors: 1.0, 1.618 and 2.0, and you change them to be whatever you want.
The logic behind it is that theses bands represents the region in which the market is more likely to stay. So if you enter the market at 50.00, you can't expect it to reach 500.00 in the next hour if the ATR is 5.00. And if you set the stop loss at 49.99, it is very likely that the market is going to stop you. By using the ATR bands, you can get a more reasonable price range, so you would set the stop loss at 45.00 and the take profit level at 60.00.
There are two types os ATR you can use: the regular, calculated with RMA, and another using a custom WMA, which puts greater emphasis on large amplitudes. By default, the average uses the past 20 true ranges. You can also choose to use either the closing price or the extremes of the candle as a basis.
Another thing I've added is the violation statistics, which shows the percentages of the times that a band was violated in the next 5 candles (can be configurated). With this, you can get a broader view on the probability of the bands actually being reached.
You may have notice that the bands are lagged by 1 period. I did this so that there is no way you can use future data. You can disable it or increase it, but I recommend just letting it be 1. These bands are the range in which the price is most likely to stay in, if you change the lag you are essentially breaking it's whole purpose.

Adoptive Supertrend - PivotsAnother experiment with Supertrend by making use of pivot point high/lows.
Trailing Stop types used in this indicator are:
ATR - plain ATR based supertrend
Breakout - ATR based supertrend combined with breakout. (Trailing triggered only if price change is higher than HighPriceChange multiplier times ATR.
Pivot Points - Trail only when new pivots created. Pivot stop multiplier is used below pivot low.
Combined - Combine everything together
Jennie's Swing Tradefrom the concept of double ma, for purpose of decreasing false signal from original chandelier exit,
i'm using shorten period and lower multiplier of ATR input for "chandelier exit" line to work like fast ma,
and create ma of closing price.
**Not Backtest yet**
MA Trailing StopA Trailing Stop indicator that uses a multiple of ATR below a SMA/EMA line. Support long positions only.
Configurables:
1. Use SMA or EMA
2. MA Period
3. ATR multiplier
4. ATR look back period
The bottom of the red area indicates the stop line. The top of the red area indicates the reference MA line.
Ideal use case is you find your a red area that covers most local lows.
The stop line moves up with MA, but does not move down if MA moves down.
If moves down (re-calculates itself) only when a low penetrates the stop line.
Chandelier Exit | SAR/Long Only (4CUP)As introduced by StockCharts.com, Chandelier Exit was developed by Charles Le Beau and featured in Alexander Elder's books, this sets a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Chandelier Exit can be formulated as a stop-and-reverse (SAR) or as a traditional trailing stop-loss version shown by Stockcharts.com.
The main difference is that, in SAR version, the indicator is usually formulated in a higher of previous or spot indicator (HPS) for long and lower of previous and spot indicator (LPS) for short position.
This indicator is coded to show both the SAR version and the traditional one shown by Stockcharts.com (for long position) by simply clicking a tick in the Version box.
The ATR multiplier is relaxed to allow non-integer input, like 3.5, 4.25, ... for a greater flexibility to tailor your best-fit exit strategy.
If you find this indicator is useful to you, Star it, Follow, Donate, Like and Share.
Your support is a highly motivation for me.
Supertrend - Delayed TrailI use supertrend for for trailing stops. One of the problem of trailing stops in long term trend trading is we get stopped too early and then trend continues. To avoid this problem, we can limit or delay our trailing.
In this modified version of supertrend, we can delay trailing by two methods:
Bars : Trail after certain bars. Input DelayBars says after how many bars it should trail.
Steps : Trail after reaching equivalent stop on the other side.
ConsiderWicks option reverse direction upon high reaching trailing Sell stop or low reaching trailing buy stop (instead of close)
ConsiderWicksForDelayByStep does the same thing for calculating if the steps have reached.

Robust, fast, trading system
Multiple time frame (MTF) aspects built in everywhere into the strategy
Combines swing, scalp, greedy, volatile trading mechanisms
Works on intraday day time frames as well as Daily and Weekly
Trade sizing, targets, and stops are shown as new trades form and existing trades develop
Alerts warn the trader on all aspects of the trade evolution
Alerts are ready to be used for complete lifecycle automated trading
EMA TRADING
Combining EMAs on a higher time frame than the chart time frame is key
Trade conditions are met on a lower time frame that agree with the EMA ribbon direction
WHY DOES IT WORK?
With the right EMA settings, it is "hard" to generate trades.
The trade direction can easily shift
Successful trade entry triggers require a strong trend
While the EMA trend is positive, longs are taken on pullbacks, opposite for shorts
A basic learning algorithm is used to create a stop behind the trades
Learns over time the best stop offset from the price based on volatility
SWINGS AND SCALPS
Swings and scalps are treated differently.
Swings are the very first trade taken upon a directional shift. This is similar to the DIVINE series trading strategies
Swings are held until stopped out, Scalps always have a target based on the current volatility of the ticker and multiplier
Both swings and scalps start out in the "building" or "forming" phase.
A building phase is triggered when all criteria are met to form a long or short
Both trade types are executed as a market long or short when the ATR execution sensitivity reverses
The current ATR direction can be seen by the colored bars.

Wilder's Volatility Trailing Stop Strategy with various MA'sFor Educational Purposes. Results can differ on different markets and can fail at any time. Profit is not guaranteed.
This only works in a few markets and in certain situations. Changing the settings can give better or worse results for other markets. This strategy is based on Wilder's Volatility System. It is an ATR trailing stop that is used for long term trends. This strategy focuses on the trailing stop alone and goes long and short only when it goes above or below the trailing line. It is similar to Donchian channels except it does not include the certain period channel breakout, only the trailing signal. This is only the trailing stop and an attempt to show how well it works standalone as Wilder described.
In his book, Wilder recommends a multiplier of 2.8-3.1 and an ATR lookback of 7 periods along with a running moving average or otherwise known as Wilder's moving average. The calculation and programming part for the trailing stop varies everywhere. I opted to keep it as simple and accurate as I could think of and interpret from the book. The variations to these types of indicators are numerous unfortunately, but Wilder seems to be the original author of ATR and this ATR-based trailing stop. In his book he says to use the significant closing price or highest/lowest closing price for the calculation part but I also included the option of choosing the highest high and lowest low, and the option to choose various moving averages in case anyone wants to experiment.
Comparing this and Donchian channels, it seems that a 2.5 multiplier is somewhat similar to the middle band of DCs and a 3.0 multiplier is somewhat similar to a double length middle band of DCs. It's hard to say which is the better trailing stop for a long term strategy. It's hard to beat the simplicity of DCs but maybe some might find a need for more inputs in a trailing stop or maybe an ATR based one like Wilder's can work better depending on what setting or strategy it's used in.
Chandelier ExitChandelier Exit (CE) is a volatility-based indicator developed by "Chuck Le Beau", ATR is used to measure the Volatility.
It identifies stop loss exit points for long and short trading positions.
Configuring the ATR period = 1 and Multiplier = (say) 1.25 or 1.5, it can be used for readily available buffer Stop Loss value from previous high/low.
Supertrend Screener PanelScript to display Supertrend trend state of 8 different securities in a panel. Timeframe & Tickers which are to be displayed can be configured from settings.
Part of code is from the ADX DI Monitoring Panel script by u/wugamlo with his permission. Thanks to him for that and do please check out his work also.
Support and Resistance levels - DMI - DI trailing stop linesThis can be used to compliment the Directional Movement Index if used as a standalone trading system. In addition to using the ADX and DI lines, a trailing stop can be used when the DI lines cross. If the plus line is above to show a buy signal, then the low of the price of when which the cross took place is used as a trailing stop. If the minus line is above to show a sell signal, then the high of the price of when which the cross took place is used as a trailing stop. This helps cut losses sooner whenever the price would end up going through these trailing stops or support/resistance levels yet the DMI system would show an upward or downward move.
Dual Volatility StopThis merges Volatility Stop & its MTF version both published by u/TradingView . Background is colored green or red when both the current timeframe Vstop and higher timeframe Vstop point in same direction. Aim is to take the standard Vstop script which differentiates market from only uptrend/downtrend to uptrend/downtrend/sideways. There is a tradeoff with this, that there is no need for the Vstop to be always in a position which reduces trade time & frees up capital. However this leads to situations where it takes slightly more time to catch on to a trend after a reversal.
Green Background = Buy
Red Background = Sell
No Background = Flat

ATR By Time [Chart]What is ATR By Time (Chart)?
This premium indicator is a companion script to my ATR By Time indicator.
This companion script draws your stop loss price to the chart directly. In the above example, the black line represents a regular 1x ATR stop loss above and below price action, while the colored lines are the 1x ATR By Time indicator values when set to use the "Smallest ATR" in the settings menu.
When set to "Smallest ATR", the script calculates the regular ATR and the ATR By Time of Day and compares the distance of the two values. It then selects whichever value is smaller to be used as the stop loss, and adds or subtracts it to the most recent swing high or low (or the closing price if desired).
This allows for tighter stops and larger position sizing during certain times of day for aggressive traders when set to Smallest ATR, or wider stop losses during more volatile periods of the day for conservative traders when set to Largest ATR.
Stop Loss Distance Options:
- Regular ATR
- ATR By Time
- Smallest ATR
- Largest ATR
More Information
Similar to my RVOL By Time indicator, the ATR By Time indicator works on any market that has consistent trading session lengths . So it works best on Forex & Crypto, but also works on some Stock and Futures markets.
Instead of calculating the ATR based on recent price data like the regular ATR indicator, it calculates an ATR value for each candle based on that candle’s time of day .
For example, if you set the Lookback setting on this indicator to 14, then instead of calculating the ATR based on the past 14 candles, it will calculate an ATR value based on the past 14 trading sessions for each candle (as an average).
So in other words, your 10:00AM candle will show the average of the past 14 10:00AM candles rather than the past 14 candles leading up to that 10:00AM candle.
This is extremely useful for day traders in particular as it allows you to gauge the average range of candles during certain times of day instead of only by the most recent price action.
It also draws a regular ATR (optional) – so this is essentially an enhanced ATR script that gives you multiple readings on price volatility.
If you are interested in trying the script or you want more information on how the script works, there is more information available on my website including instructions on how to apply for a free trial: ATR By Time Feature Page .
Good luck with your trading!
vstop5 (RA)Upgrade standart Volatility Stop with 5 fixed values for selected tickers.
When switching between tickers - VStop multiplier will be changed to desired fixed value for fixed tickers.
If nothing mached - will be used standart value
See the example of setting here
As You can see on screenshot 5 different VStops can be set up for different tickers.
and as a result:
Доработка стандартного индикатора VStop, но с возможностью зафиксировать для 5-ти разных инструментов свое значение мультипликатора.
Далее при переключении с одного инструмента на другой - значение Мультипликатора VStop будет меняться в соответствии с сохраненными привязанными настройками. для всех НЕ привязанных инструментов - будет использовано значение Мультипликатора по умолчанию, которое также задается в Настройках.

ST0PST0P is a kind of a TRAILING STOP LOSS INDICATOR in which users can set up LONG or SHORT trade versions and also can set up a STOP LOSS level by percent % or unit difference.
It tries to solve the problem of stop loss indicators' default BUY or SELL settings and non adjustable stop levels of % and difference change in price levels.
(Will try to make updates to add user defined start bars.)
