ATR ReadoutDisplays a readout on the bottom right corner of the screen displaying ATR average (not of the individual candlestick, but of the current rolling period, including the candlestick in question).
Due to restrictions with Pine Script (or my knowledge thereof) only the current and previous candlestick data is shown, rather than the one currently hovered over.
The data is derived via the standard calculation for ATR.
Using this, one can quickly and easily get the proper data needed to calculate one's stop loss, rather than having to analyze the line graph of the basic ATR indicator.
Settings are implemented to change certain variables to your liking.
ka66: Candle Range MarkThis is a simple trailing stop loss tool using bar ranges, to be used with some discretion and understanding of basic price action.
Given a configurable percentage value, e.g. 25%:
A bullish bar (close > open) will be marked at the lower 25%
A bearish bar (close < open) will be marked at the upper 25%
The idea is to move your stop loss after each completed bar in the direction of the trade, at the configured percentage value.
If you have an inside bar, or something very close to it, or a doji-type bar, don't trail that, because there is no clarity of what the bar means, we can only wait.
The chart shows an example use, with trailing at 10% of the bar, from the initial stop loss after entry, trailing till we get stopped out. Some things to note:
Because this example focuses on a short trade, we ignore the bullish candles, and keep our trailing stop at the last bearish candle.
We ignore doji-esque candles and inside bars, where the body is in the range of the prior candle. Some definitions of inside bars include the wicks as well. I don't have a strong opinion, and this example is just for illustration. Furthermore, the inside bar will likely be the opposite of the swing bars (e.g. bullish bar in a range of bearish bars), so our stop remains unchanged.
One could use this semi-systematic approach in scalping on any timeframe, for example to maximise gains, adjusting the bar percentage as needed.
Visual ATR StopThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to display a visual range for stop placement. Two multiplier values (example, 1 and 3) can be set to create a filled area below the price. This area represents the range between the two ATR levels, adjusted by subtracting the current price, providing a simple way to visualize stop-loss placement based on volatility.
The indicator is customizable; for example, negative values can place the area above the price for short positions. The filled color can also be removed, which allows precise levels to be marked above and below.
Chande Volatility-Based Trailing Stops This indicator is developed from a description outlined in the Chande - Kroll book, "The New Technical Trader". It is designed to help control risk by plotting two lines that function as long and short trailing stops.
How does it work?
"These stops are derived from recent highest high or lowest low. They adjust based on volatility. However, to avoid giving up a sizable chunk of profit before the stop is hit, it is modified in such a way that the stop can only advance with price, not retreat. This will lock in a greater portion of potential profits..."
Settings:
The default settings are those described in the book. They are described as being best for intermediate term trades. Use the multiplier to tighten or loosen the stop. A smaller multiplier will result in tighter stops. It is recommended to adjust this value for your preferred timeframe. You can toggle the trailing stop lines on or off as well as cross over marker.
Expected Volatility, Range, and Estimated VolatilityOverview
The Expected Volatility, Expected Range, and Estimated Volatility Indicator helps traders quantify and visualize the expected price movement of a financial instrument based on historical price changes. Unlike traditional historical volatility measures that are annualized, this indicator calculates expected volatility using a proprietary transform model directly from historical price data over a specified period. This provides an immediate, timeframe-specific estimate of expected volatility without annualization, making it more directly applicable to the current trading timeframe.
This indicator should be used with the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines to enhance analysis by combining price distribution and volatility insights.
Inputs
Volatility Period (Bars): Determines the number of bars used to calculate the expected volatility. For accurate visualization, it is recommended to set this period to be the same as the one used in the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines indicator. Adjusting this period can make the indicator more responsive to recent price changes or smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Plot Mode: Choose between "Percent" or "Base Currency" to display the indicator's outputs either as a percentage or in the asset's base currency value.
Outputs
Expected Volatility (Orange Line): Displays the expected volatility calculated using the transform model based on historical price changes over the specified period and serves as a reference for typical market movements and aiding in the identification of high-risk periods or potential breakout opportunities.
Expected Range (Red Line): Represents the expected price movement range based on the expected volatility.
Estimated Volatility (Yellow Line): Provides an alternative volatility measure based on the intraday range (high-low) relative to the previous close, offering additional insights into price fluctuations within each bar.
How to Use
Risk Management
You can use either the Expected Volatility or the Expected Range to set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on your preference. Using the Expected Volatility values will generally result in tighter stop-loss levels, potentially exiting trades earlier, while using the Expected Range may allow for more room to accommodate price fluctuations.
Historical Performance Analysis
Monitor when the Estimated Volatility (yellow line) crosses above the Expected Volatility or Expected Range lines (orange and red lines). Such crossings indicate periods where actual market volatility exceeded expected levels, providing insights into the historical effectiveness of your stop-loss or take-profit strategies.
Combined Analysis with Mean and Standard Deviation Lines
Use this indicator alongside the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines to gain a comprehensive view of both price distribution and volatility. Ensure that the Volatility Period is set to the same value in both indicators for accurate visualization and comparison. This combined approach enhances your ability to identify significant price movements and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Trend Analysis
Observe changes in the Expected Volatility values to identify periods of increasing or decreasing market volatility, which may signal potential trend developments or reversals.
Identifying Typical and Extreme Conditions
The Expected Volatility serves as a benchmark for typical market movements, aiding in the identification of high-risk periods or potential breakout opportunities when price action moves beyond this range.
Preference-Based Strategy
Choose between using the Expected Volatility or Expected Range based on your risk tolerance and trading strategy. The Expected Volatility provides a more conservative approach, while the Expected Range allows for greater flexibility in accommodating market fluctuations.
Additional Notes
For accurate visualization, set the Volatility Period to the same value used in the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines indicator. This alignment ensures consistency in your analysis and enhances the reliability of the insights gained from both indicators.
Be mindful that higher volatility periods can present both opportunities and increased risk; appropriate risk management practices are essential.
Important: The Expected Volatility calculated by this indicator is not annualized , unlike traditional historical volatility measures. This makes it directly applicable to the timeframe of your analysis, providing a more immediate estimate of expected price movements.
Dynamic Supertrend1. Indicator Overview:
This indicator is designed to plot dynamic support and resistance lines based on the Supertrend strategy, incorporating volatility through the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator changes direction when the price crosses certain thresholds, generating buy and sell signals. It also highlights the prevailing trend on the chart and can trigger alerts when a trend shift occurs.
2. Key Features:
ATR-Based Trend Calculation:
The script uses the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust the distance between the Supertrend line and the price. This ensures that the indicator adapts to market volatility.
The trend is determined by comparing the closing price to upper and lower boundaries, which are calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of ATR to a source price (typically the average of the high and low prices).
Volatility Filter:
The script includes a function to check if the market is volatile by measuring the standard deviation of the closing price over the past 14 periods. This can potentially be used to conditionally enable or disable signals based on volatility.
Buy and Sell Signals:
When the price crosses above the Supertrend line, it indicates the start of an uptrend, triggering a "Buy" signal.
Conversely, when the price crosses below the Supertrend line, it signals a downtrend, triggering a "Sell" signal.
Both signals can be displayed on the chart with optional shapes (circles or arrows) and labels.
Highlighting Current Trend:
You can choose to highlight the trend with color shading. The areas above the price line are shaded green during an uptrend, while the areas below are shaded red during a downtrend. The highlighting is controlled through an input switch.
Customizable Inputs:
The script allows users to adjust the ATR period and multiplier, as well as control whether to show buy/sell signals and highlight trends.
The source price used for calculations can also be customized, providing flexibility for different market conditions.
Alerts for Trading Opportunities:
Alerts are configured to notify the user of key events:
When the Supertrend changes direction (from uptrend to downtrend, or vice versa).
When a buy or sell signal is generated.
3. Code Structure:
Input Settings: Users can customize the base ATR period, the multiplier for ATR, and control the display of signals and highlighting features.
Trend Calculation Logic: The code determines the uptrend and downtrend by comparing the current price against dynamic ATR-based thresholds. It ensures that trends persist until price action confirms a change.
Plotting and Signals: Plots the trend lines based on whether the trend is up or down. It also provides visual cues for buy and sell signals with circles and optional arrows/labels on the chart.
Alert System: Three alert conditions are defined: buy signal, sell signal, and a general trend direction change, allowing users to set up real-time notifications for trading actions.
4. Use Case:
This script is particularly useful for traders who:
Rely on trend-following strategies and want to enter trades based on price action.
Need visual confirmation of market direction changes.
Prefer to automate their trading signals with real-time alerts.
Want to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator by tweaking the ATR multiplier and period settings to suit different market conditions.
Overall, this dynamic Supertrend indicator can be a powerful tool for both manual and automated trading setups, offering flexibility and clarity in identifying trend shifts.

Weighted Vstop | viResearchWeighted Vstop | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Weighted Vstop" indicator from viResearch is a volatility-based stop-loss system that enhances the accuracy of trend-following strategies by incorporating weighted price calculations. The innovation lies in its use of a weighted closing price, combined with the Average True Range (ATR) to account for volatility. By emphasizing recent data through a weighted price, the indicator becomes more responsive to market changes, providing a dynamic tool for setting stop-losses and identifying potential trend shifts.
This weighted approach helps traders manage risk more effectively, reducing the likelihood of false signals caused by sudden market fluctuations, making it ideal for traders seeking to stay aligned with market trends.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Weighted Vstop" script starts by calculating a weighted closing price, assigning 90% weight to the current close and 10% weight to the previous close. This produces a smoother price series, minimizing noise. The core component, the volatility stop (Vstop), is calculated using the ATR and a user-defined multiplier. The ATR measures market volatility over a specified length, while the multiplier adjusts the Vstop's sensitivity to these changes in volatility.
Two key variables—the maximum and minimum values of the weighted closing price—are maintained throughout. When the price moves above the Vstop, an uptrend is signaled, causing the stop to adjust upward. If the price falls below the Vstop, the stop moves downward, indicating a potential downtrend. This dynamic adjustment mechanism helps traders lock in profits during trends and minimize losses during reversals.
Features and User Inputs
The "Weighted Vstop" script offers various customizable inputs for traders to fine-tune the indicator based on their strategies. Traders can adjust:
Vstop Length, which defines the period used to calculate the ATR, determining how sensitive the stop-loss levels are to volatility.
Multiplier, which modifies the ATR’s influence on the Vstop, allowing traders to widen or tighten the stop-loss levels.
Bar Color Settings, enabling traders to visually distinguish trend shifts by coloring bars according to the current trend direction. Practical Applications
The "Weighted Vstop" indicator is designed for traders seeking a dynamic method to set stop-losses and identify trends. The weighted price series helps reduce false signals during volatile conditions, while the ATR-based Vstop ensures that stop-loss levels adjust based on market volatility. This makes it particularly effective for:
Risk Management, allowing traders to adapt their strategy by tightening stops during low volatility and widening them in high-volatility environments.
Trend-Following, providing clear signals for when trends continue or reverse, helping traders stay in profitable trades longer while avoiding premature exits.
Reducing False Signals, where the weighted price calculation helps minimize the noise that could trigger unnecessary stop-losses in conventional systems. Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Weighted Vstop" script is valuable for its integration of a volatility-based stop-loss with a weighted price calculation. The ATR-based stop-loss dynamically adapts to market conditions, offering a more refined approach to risk management. Customizable Vstop length and multiplier settings allow traders to adjust the indicator based on their timeframes and trading preferences.
This adaptability makes the "Weighted Vstop" a key tool for optimizing risk management, providing accurate stop-loss levels that respond to market volatility without overreacting to short-term fluctuations.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions to notify traders of significant trend changes. A "Weighted Vstop Long" alert triggers when the weighted price moves above the Vstop, indicating a potential upward trend. Conversely, the "Weighted Vstop Short" alert signals a possible downward trend when the price falls below the Vstop. Color-coded bar plots offer clear visual cues to indicate the current trend, helping traders interpret real-time market conditions effectively.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Weighted Vstop | viResearch" indicator provides an adaptable and powerful solution for traders who want to use volatility-based stop-losses to identify trend shifts. By integrating a weighted closing price with an ATR-based Vstop, this script helps traders remain aligned with trends while managing risk efficiently. Incorporating this tool into your trading strategy can improve your ability to capture trends and minimize losses during market reversals, offering a reliable and customizable option for traders at all levels.
Note: Backtests are based on past results and are not indicative of future performance.
Trailing Stop ProTrailing Stop Pro is a sophisticated TradingView indicator designed to enhance your trading strategy by dynamically managing trailing stops based on market volatility. This tool leverages the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust stop levels, providing traders with a robust mechanism to protect profits and minimize losses.
Key Features:
Dynamic Trailing Stops: Automatically adjusts stop levels using ATR, allowing for responsive and adaptive risk management.
Customizable Inputs: Tailor the indicator to your trading style with adjustable parameters such as ATR Length, ATR Multiplier, and Source Vector.
Visual Clarity: Distinct color settings for long and short stops, with adjustable line thickness and transparency, ensuring clear visualization on your charts.
Professional Grade: The "Pro" designation signifies advanced features suitable for both novice and experienced traders seeking reliable and efficient stop management.
How It Works:
To set up the indicator, begin by defining the Chrono Point, which specifies the exact time you want the trailing stop mechanism to activate. This allows for precise control over when your stops begin to trail. Next, set the Credit Unit as the initial entry price for your trade, serving as the baseline from which the trailing stops will adjust.
The indicator uses ATR-based adjustments to determine stop levels. Customize the sensitivity of the trailing stop by adjusting the ATR Length (default is 14) and ATR Multiplier (default is 0.5). A longer ATR length smooths out volatility, while a higher multiplier increases the distance of the stop from the price.
Select your Source Vector from "High/Low," "Close," or "Open" prices as the basis for stop calculation. This flexibility allows you to align the indicator with your preferred trading strategy. The indicator plots trailing stops directly on the chart, with color-coded lines indicating long (teal) and short (red) positions. You can adjust the line thickness and transparency for optimal visibility.
The Mission Status feature automatically detects whether the trade is long or short and adjusts the trailing stop accordingly. If the price hits the trailing stop, the trade is considered exited, and the indicator calculates the profit or loss percentage.
Benefits:
Risk Management: Protect your trades from adverse market movements while locking in profits as prices move favorably.
Automation: Reduce manual intervention with automatic stop adjustments, allowing you to focus on strategic decision-making.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive settings and clear visual cues make it easy to integrate into your existing trading workflow.

Consistent ATR Trailing Stop (ATR, 1m based) [nn1]This indicator implements a Consistent ATR (Average True Range) Trailing Stop that maintains uniform behavior across various chart timeframes. It's designed to provide traders with a reliable tool for setting dynamic stop-loss levels that adapt to market volatility while remaining consistent regardless of the chosen chart interval.
Key Features:
1. Consistent ATR Calculation: The indicator calculates the ATR based on 1-minute data, regardless of the current chart timeframe. This ensures that the ATR value remains consistent across different intervals (e.g., 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s), providing a stable base for the trailing stop.
2. Dynamic Trailing Stop: The trailing stop adjusts based on the ATR, moving up in uptrends and down in downtrends to protect profits while allowing room for price fluctuations.
3. Trend Detection: The indicator determines the trend based on the price's relationship to the trailing stop, switching between long and short modes as the trend changes.
4. Visual Cues: The trailing stop line changes color to indicate the current trend (green for uptrends, red for downtrends) and briefly turns yellow during trend changes. Small circles below or above the price action further highlight the current trend direction.
5. Information Display: A label shows the current ATR value and trend direction, providing at-a-glance information to the trader.
6. Trend Change Highlights: The background briefly changes color when a trend change occurs, drawing attention to potential trading opportunities or exit points.
Usage:
- ATR Length: Set the number of periods for the ATR calculation. This is based on 1-minute data, so a value of 14 represents 14 minutes of data.
- ATR Multiplier: Adjust how far the trailing stop is placed from the price. Higher values create a wider stop, allowing for more price movement before triggering.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who:
- Use multiple timeframes in their analysis and want consistent signals across charts.
- Seek a dynamic stop-loss method that adapts to market volatility.
- Want clear visual cues for trend direction and changes.
By providing a consistent ATR-based trailing stop across different timeframes, this indicator helps traders maintain a unified approach to their trading strategy, regardless of the chart interval they are viewing.
ATR GerchikAverage True Range ( ATR ) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility. It is a moving average of the true range over a period of time. Originally developed by a market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in the 1970s, ATR was utilized to measure the average volatility of an asset over a given time period. Wilder realized that measuring volatility using only closing prices would not yield accurate results, necessitating a more complex system. To calculate the Average True Range, one must first determine the True Range (TR).
ATR calculation procedure:
1. Determine the true maximum - this is the highest of the current maximum and yesterday's closing price of the day.
2. Determine the true minimum - this is the smallest of the current minimum and yesterday's closing price.
3. Determine the true range - this is the distance between the true maximum and minimum.
4. Exclude extremely large candles and extremely small ones from the obtained true ranges.
5. Calculate the average for the selected period based on the remaining range.
6. Calculate the percentage of the current True Range relative to the average ATR value for the previous period.
Description:
If you analyze market movements, you will find that 75-80% of the time, an instrument moves only 1 ATR per day. Understanding this is crucial; for example, if an instrument has already moved 80% of its daily range, it is not advisable to enter a new position. This concept is similar to a car's fuel tank; if the tank is nearly empty, the car won’t go far. Many indicators include anomalous candles in their ATR calculations, which can yield unreliable results and lead to incorrect decisions. This is why many traders prefer to calculate ATR manually.
However, the Gerchik ATR indicator accounts for anomalous candles by filtering out extremely large and small candles. Users can set the coefficient for the upper and lower filtering thresholds. Experiment with these settings to find your criteria for filtering out abnormal candles. Personally, I filter out candles larger than 2x ATR and smaller than 0.5x ATR. Additionally, this indicator displays the consumed “fuel” of the instrument for the entire day and the current percentages, so you don’t have to calculate the distance traveled manually. The indicator also visually displays the boundaries of the average true range on the chart, enabling quick and informed decisions. When building any strategy, relying on the average true range movement is essential.
This extended version of the indicator includes a NATP indicator (Normalized ATR), a variation of the ATR that measures volatility as a percentage of the current price. It helps gauge market volatility levels and assists traders in making informed decisions.
Procedure for calculating NATR (Normalized ATR):
1. Determine the true maximum - the higher of the current high and the previous close.
2. Determine the true minimum - the lower of the current low and the previous close.
3. Determine the true range - the distance between the true maximum and minimum.
4. Filter out extremely large and small values from the obtained true ranges.
5. Calculate the average for n candles based on the remaining ranges.
Additionally in this version:
- Change table position
- Added NATP indicator
- Option to turn off the table description
- Option to turn off some indicators in the table
- Indication of the selected period in the table
- Changing coefficients for filtering abnormal candles
- Display of the number of invalid candles in the selected period

RSI Trail [UAlgo]The RSI Trail indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in making informed decisions by utilizing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and various moving average calculations. This indicator dynamically plots support and resistance levels based on RSI values, providing visual cues for potential bullish and bearish signals. The inclusion of a trailing stop mechanism allows traders to adapt to market volatility, ensuring optimal entry and exit points.
🔶 Key Features
Multiple Moving Average Types: Choose from Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Running Moving Average (RMA), and McGinley Dynamic for diverse analytical approaches.
Configurable RSI Bounds: Tailor the RSI lower and upper bounds to your specific trading preferences, with default settings at 40 and 60.
Signals: The indicator determines bullish and bearish market states and plots corresponding signals on the chart.
Customizable Visualization: Options to display the midline and color candles based on market state enhance visual analysis.
Alerts: Integrated alert conditions notify you of bullish and bearish signals.
🔶 Calculations
The RSI Trail indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance levels using a combination of moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It starts by computing a chosen moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or McGinley) over a period of 27 using the typical price (ohlc4).
The indicator then defines upper and lower bounds based on customizable RSI levels (default 40 and 60) and adjusts these bounds using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility. The upper bound is calculated by adding a volatility-adjusted value to the moving average, while the lower bound is found by subtracting this value. Bullish signals occur when the price crosses above the upper bound, and bearish signals when it falls below the lower bound.
The RSI Trail indicator also can be used to identify pullback opportunities. When the price high/low crosses above/below the calculated upper/lower bound, it indicates a potential pullback, suggesting a favorable point to enter a trade during a pullback.

ATR Gerchik LightAverage True Range ( ATR ) is a technical analysis indicator that measures volatility in the market. ATR is a moving average of the true range over a period of time.
ATR calculation procedure:
1. Determine the true maximum - this is the highest of the current maximum and yesterday's closing price of the day.
2. Determine the true minimum - this is the smallest of the current minimum and yesterday's closing price.
3. Determine the true range - this is the distance between the true maximum and minimum.
4. We exclude extremely large candles (> x2 ATR) and extremely small ones (< 0.5 ATR) from the obtained true ranges.
5. We calculate the average for the selected period based on the remaining range.
6. We calculate the percentage of the current True Range relative to the average ATR value for the previous period.
Description:
If you analyze it yourself, you will see that 75-80% of the time, the instrument moves only 1 ATR per day. You must understand that if an instrument has, for example, moved 80% of its daily range, it is not advisable to purchase it. This is comparable to a car's fuel tank: if the tank is almost empty, the car won't go far. Most indicators that calculate ATR include anomalous candles, which give unreliable results and lead to incorrect decisions. Because of this, many traders prefer to calculate ATR on their own.
However, the Gerchik ATR indicator accounts for anomalous candles and filters out extremely large candles (> 2x ATR) and extremely small ones (< 0.5x ATR). Additionally, this indicator immediately shows the consumed “fuel” of the instrument as a percentage, so you don't have to calculate the distance traveled yourself. This allows you to make quick, informed decisions. If we see that the tank is almost empty, it is logical not to get into that car today. When building any strategy, you must rely on the average movement.
Key Features:
Anomalous Candle Filtering: Excludes extremely large and small candles to provide more reliable ATR values.
Consumed Fuel Indicator: Shows the percentage of the ATR consumed, helping traders quickly assess the remaining potential movement.
Daily Timeframe Focus: Designed specifically for use on daily charts for accurate long-term analysis.
Practical Applications:
Entry and Exit Points: Use the ATR to determine optimal entry and exit points by assessing market volatility and potential price movement.
Stop-Loss Placement: Calculate stop-loss levels based on ATR to ensure they are placed at appropriate distances, accounting for current market volatility.
Trend Confirmation: Use the percentage of ATR consumed to confirm the strength of a trend and decide whether to enter or exit trades.
Examples of Use:
Trend Following: During strong trends, ATR helps identify periods of increased volatility, signaling potential breakouts or reversals.
Range Trading: In ranging markets, ATR can highlight periods of low volatility, indicating consolidation and potential breakout zones.
Note: The indicator is displayed and works only on the daily timeframe!
The indicator was created according to the instructions, description of the functionality, and strategy of Mr. Gerchik. Thank you so much, Chief!

Average True Range ( ATR , средний истинный диапазон) – это индикатор технического анализа, который измеряет волатильность на рынке. ATR представляет собой скользящее среднее истинного диапазона за определенный период времени.
Порядок расчета ATR:
1. Определяем истинный максимум – это наивысшее из текущего максимума и вчерашней цены закрытия дня.
2. Определяем истинный минимум – это наименьшее из текущего минимума и вчерашней цены закрытия.
3. Определяем истинный диапазон – это расстояние между истинным максимумом и минимумом.
4. Исключаем из полученных истинных диапазонов экстремально большие свечи (> x2 ATR) и экстремально маленькие (< 0.5 ATR).
5. Рассчитываем среднее за выбранный период исходя из оставшегося диапазона.
6 . Рассчитываем процент текущего истинного диапазона (True Range) относительно среднего значения ATR за предыдущий период.
Описание:
Если вы сами проанализируете, то увидите, что 75-80% времени инструмент ходит только 1 ATR. И вы должны понимать, что если инструмент внутри дня прошел, к примеру, 80% своего движения, то этот инструмент больше нельзя покупать. Это можно сравнить с баком машины: если бак почти пустой, машина далеко не уедет. Большинство индикаторов, которые рассчитывают ATR, производят расчет с паранормальными свечами. Это дает недостоверный результат и приводит к неверным решениям. Многие трейдеры из-за этого не используют готовые индикаторы и предпочитают считать ATR самостоятельно. Но индикатор ATR Gerchik учитывает паранормальные свечи и фильтрует экстремально большие свечи (> x2 ATR) и экстремально маленькие (< 0.5 ATR). Также этот индикатор сразу показывает израсходованный "бензин" инструмента в процентах. И вам не надо самостоятельно высчитывать пройденный путь. Вы можете быстро принимать правильные решения. Если мы видим, что бак почти пустой, логично не садиться в эту машину сегодня. Когда вы строите какую-то стратегию, вы должны обязательно полагаться на среднестатистическое движение.
Существует много стратегий, завязанных на ATR, которые учитывают волатильность инструмента, запас хода, точки разворота, места выставления стоп-лоссов (SL) и тейк-профитов (TP) и другие факторы. Я не буду останавливаться на них, так как каждый может найти описание этих стратегий и использовать их на свой выбор.
Индикатор отображается и работает только на дневном таймфрейме!
Индикатор создан по наставлениям, описанию функционала и стратегии господина Герчика. Огромное спасибо, Шеф!
ATR Price Range Prediction V.2### ATR Price Range Prediction V.2
This script calculates the expected high and low prices for the current day based on the Average True Range (ATR) and displays the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR. Additionally, the script provides an option to adjust the size of the text displayed in the top-right corner of the chart.
#### How It Works
1. **ATR Calculation**: The script calculates the ATR for a specified period (`atrPeriod`). ATR is a measure of volatility that represents the average range between the high and low prices over a specified number of periods.
2. **Expected High and Low Calculation**:
- **Expected High**: Calculated by adding the ATR value to the low price of the current day.
- **Expected Low**: Calculated by subtracting the ATR value from the high price of the current day.
3. **Proportion Calculation**: The script calculates the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This proportion is updated in real-time as new data comes in.
4. **Table Display**: Instead of displaying labels on each candle, the script shows the expected high, expected low, and the calculated proportion in a table located at the top-right corner of the chart. The size of the text in this table can be adjusted using the `Table Size` input.
5. **Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars to yellow if the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value, making it easy to identify these bars visually.
#### How to Use
- **ATR Period (`atrPeriod`)**: Adjust the period for the ATR calculation using the input parameter. The default value is 14.
- **Table Size (`tableSizeOption`)**: Choose the size of the text displayed in the table. Options include `tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, and `huge`.
- **Expected High and Low**: Use the green and red lines to identify potential target prices or stop-loss levels for your trades. The green line represents the expected high, and the red line represents the expected low.
- **Proportion**: The table in the top-right corner of the chart shows the proportion of days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This can provide insight into the volatility of the asset.
- **Color Coding**: Yellow bars indicate days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value.

ATR Bands with Optional Risk/Reward Colors█ OVERVIEW
This indicator projects ATR bands and, optionally, colors them based on a risk/reward advantage for those who trade breakouts/breakdowns using moving averages as partial or full exit points.
█ DEFINITIONS
► True Range
The True Range is a measure of the volatility of a financial asset and is defined as the maximum difference among one of the following values:
- The high of the current period minus the low of the current period.
- The absolute value of the high of the current period minus the closing price of the previous period.
- The absolute value of the low of the current period minus the closing price of the previous period.
► Average True Range
The Average True Range was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and was introduced in his 1978 book titled "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems". It is calculated as an average of the true range values over a certain number of periods (usually 14) and is commonly used to measure volatility and set stop-loss and profit targets (1).
For example, if you are looking at a daily chart and you want to calculate the 14-day ATR, you would take the True Range of the previous 14 days, calculate their average, and this would be the ATR for that day. The process is then repeated every day to obtain a series of ATR values over time.
The ATR can be smoothed using different methods, such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA), the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or others, depending on the user's preferences or analysis needs.
► ATR Bands
The ATR bands are created by adding or subtracting the ATR from a reference point (usually the closing price). This process generates bands around the central point that expand and contract based on market volatility, allowing traders to assess dynamic support and resistance levels and to adapt their trading strategies to current market conditions.
█ INDICATOR
► ATR Bands
The indicator provides all the essential parameters for calculating the ATR: period length, time frame, smoothing method, and multiplier.
It is then possible to choose the reference point from which to create the bands. The most commonly used reference points are Open, High, Low, and Close, but you can also choose the commonly used candle averages: HL2, HLC3, HLCC4, OHLC4. Among these, there is also a less common "OC2", which represents the average of the candle body. Additionally, two parameters have been specifically created for this indicator: Open/Close and High/Low.
With the "Open/Close" parameter, the upper band is calculated from the higher value between Open and Close, while the lower one is calculated from the lower value between Open and Close. In the case of bullish candles, therefore, the Close value is taken as the starting point for the upper band and the Open value for the lower one; conversely, in bearish candles, the Open value is used for the upper band and the Close value for the lower band. This setting can be useful for precautionally generating broader bands when trading with candlesticks like hammers or inverted hammers.
The "High/Low" parameter calculates the upper band starting from the High and the lower band starting from the Low. Among all the available options, this one allows drawing the widest bands.
Other possible options to improve the drawing of ATR bands, aligning them with the price action, are:
• Doji Smoothing: When the current candle is a doji (having the same Open and Close price), the bands assume the values they had on the previous candle. This can be useful to avoid steep fluctuations of the bands themselves.
• Extend to High/Low: Extends the bands to the High or Low values when they exceed the value of the band.
• Round Last Cent: Expands the upper band by one cent if the price ends with x.x9, and the lower band if the price ends with x.x1. This function only works when the asset's tick is 0.01.
► Risk/Reward Advantage
The indicator optionally colors the ATR bands after setting a breakpoint, one or two risk/reward ratios, and a series of moving averages. This function allows you to know in advance whether entering a trade can provide an advantage over the risk. The band is colored when the ratio between the distance from the break point to the band and the distance from the break point to the first available moving average reaches at least the set ratio value. It is possible to set two colorings, one for a minimum risk/reward ratio and one for an optimal risk/reward ratio.
The break point can be chosen between High/Low (High in case of breakout, Low in case of breakdown) or Open/Close (on breakouts, Close with bullish candles or Open with bearish candles; on breakdowns, Close with bearish candles or Open with bullish candles).
It is possible to choose up to 10 moving averages of various types, including the VWAP with the Anchor Period (2).
Depending on the "Price to MA" setting, the bands can be individually or simultaneously colored.
By selecting "Single Direction," the risk/reward calculation is performed only when all moving averages are above or below the break point, resulting in only one band being colored at a time. For this reason, when the break point is in between the moving averages, the calculation is not executed. This setting can be useful for strategies involving price movement from a level towards a series of specific moving averages (for example, in reversals starting from a certain level towards the VWAP with possible partial take profits on some previous moving averages, or simply in trend following towards one or more moving averages).
Choosing "Both Directions" the risk/reward ratio is calculated based on the first available moving averages both above and below the price. This setting is useful for those who operate in range bound markets or simply take advantage of movements between moving averages.
█ NOTE
This script may not be suitable for scalping strategies that require immediate entries due to the inability to know the ATR of a candle in advance until its closure. Once the candle is closed, you should have time to place a stop or stop-limit order, so your strategy should not anticipate an immediate start with the next candle. Even more conveniently, if your strategy involves an entry on a pullback, you can place a limit order at the breakout level.

(2) For convenience, the code for the Anchor Period has been entirely copied from the VWAP code provided by TradingView.
Turtle Trader StrategyTurtle Trader Strategy :
Introduction :
This strategy is based on the well known « Turtle Trader Strategy », that has proven itself over the years. It sends long and short signals with pyramid orders of up to 5, meaning that the strategy can trigger up to 5 orders in the same direction. Good risk and money management.
It's important to note that the strategy combines 2 systems working together (S1 and S2). Let’s describe the specific features of this strategy.
1/ Position size :
Position size is very important for turtle traders to manage risk properly. This position sizing strategy adapts to market volatility and to account (gains and losses). It’s based on ATR (Average True Range) which can also be called « N ». Its length is per default 20.
ATR(20) = (previous_atr(20)*19 + actual_true_range)/20
The number of units to buy is :
Unit = 1% * account/(ATR(20)*dollar_per_point)
where account is the actual account value and dollar_per_point is the variation in dollar of the asset with a 1 point move.
Depending on your risk aversion, you can increase the percentage of your account, but turtle traders default to 1%. If you trade contracts, units must be rounded down by default.
There is also an additional rule to reduce the risk if the value of the account falls below the initial capital : in this case and only in this case, account in the unit formula must be replace by :
account = actual_account*actual_account/initial capital
2/ Open a position :
2 systems are working together :
System 1 : Entering a new 20 day breakout
System 2 : Entering a new 55 day breakout
A breakout is a new high or new low. If it’s a new high, we open long position and vice versa if it’s a new low we enter in short position.
We add an additional rule :
System 1 : Breakout is ignored if last long/short position was a winner
System 2 : All signals are taken
This additional rule allows the trader to be in the major trends if the system 1 signal has been skipped. If a signal for system 1 has been skipped, and next candle is also a new 20 day breakout, S1 doesn’t give a signal. We have to wait S2 signal or wait for a candle that doesn’t make a new breakout to reactivate S1.
3/ Pyramid orders :
Turtle Strategy allows us to add extra units to the position if the price moves in our favor. I've configured the strategy to allow up to 5 orders to be added in the same direction. So if the price varies from 0.5*ATR(20) , we add units with the position size formula. Note that the value of account will be replaced by "remaining_account", i.e. the cash remaining in our account after subtracting the value of open positions.
4/ Stop Loss :
We set a stop loss at 1.5*ATR(20) below the entry price for longs and above the entry price for shorts. If pyramid units are added, the stop is increased/decreased by 0.5*ATR(20). Note that if SL is configured for a loss of more than 10%, we set the SL to 10% for the first entry order to avoid big losses. This configuration does not work for pyramid orders as SL moves by 0.5*ATR(20).
5/ Exit signals :
System 1 :
Exit long on a 10 day low
Exit short on a 10 day high
System 2 :
Exit long on a 20 day low
Exit short on a 20 day high
6/ What types of orders are placed ?
To enter in a position, stop orders are placed meaning that we place orders that will be automatically triggered by the signal at the exact breakout price. Stop loss and exit signals are also stop orders. Pyramid orders are market orders which will be triggered at the opening of the next candle to avoid repainting.
PARAMETERS :
Risk % of capital : Percentage used in the position size formula. Default is 1%
ATR period : ATR length used to calculate ATR. Default is 20
Stop ATR : Parameters used to fix stop loss. Default is 1.5 meaning that stop loss will be set at : buy_price - 1.5*ATR(20) for long and buy_price + 1.5*ATR(20) for short. Turtle traders default is 2 but 1.5 is better for cryptocurrency as there is a huge volatility.
S1 Long : System 1 breakout length for long. Default is 20
S2 Long : System 2 breakout length for long. Default is 55
S1 Long Exit : System 1 breakout length to exit long. Default is 10
S2 Long Exit : System 2 breakout length to exit long. Default is 20
S1 Short : System 1 breakout length for short. Default is 15
S2 Short : System 2 breakout length for short. Default is 55
S1 Short Exit : System 1 breakout length to exit short. Default is 7
S2 Short Exit : System 2 breakout length to exit short. Default is 20
Initial capital : $1000
Fees : Interactive Broker fees apply to this strategy. They are set at 0.18% of the trade value.
Slippage : 3 ticks or $0.03 per trade. Corresponds to the latency time between the moment the signal is received and the moment the order is executed by the broker.
Pyramiding : Number of orders that can be passed in the same direction. Default is 5.
Important : Turtle traders don't trade crypto. For this specific asset type, I modify some parameters such as SL and Short S1 in order to maximize return while limiting drawdown. This strategy is the most optimal on BINANCE:BTCUSD in 1D timeframe with the parameters set per default. If you want to use this strategy for a different crypto please adapt parameters.
NOTE :
It's important to note that the first entry order (long or short) will be the largest. Subsequent pyramid orders will have fewer units than the first order. We've set a maximum SL for the first order of 10%, meaning that you won't lose more than 10% of the value of your first order. However, it is possible to lose more on your pyramid orders, as the SL is increased/decreased by 0.5*ATR(20), which does not secure a loss of more than 10% on your pyramid orders. The risk remains well managed because the value of these orders is less than the value of the first order. Remain vigilant to this small detail and adjust your risk according to your risk aversion.
Enjoy the strategy and don’t forget to take the trade :)
ATR StopThe "ATR Stop" indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into potential stop levels based on Average True Range (ATR) calculations specifically tailored for profitable (green candles) and unprofitable (red candles) price movements. This tool aims to assist traders in identifying potential stop levels that adjust dynamically based on the volatility of distinct market conditions.
The indicator functions by calculating two types of ATR: one for profitable movements and the other for unprofitable movements. The Average True Range is calculated separately for green and red candles, allowing users to assess potential stop levels more accurately based on the nature of price movements.
Key features of the "ATR Stop" indicator include:
Custom ATR Calculation: It calculates the ATR for profitable (green) and unprofitable (red) movements separately, considering only specific candle types based on their closing price relative to their opening price.
Dynamic Multiplier: Users can adjust the multiplier to fine-tune the sensitivity of the ATR-based stop levels, accommodating different risk preferences and market conditions.
Clear Visualization: The indicator plots the ATR levels for profitable (green) and unprofitable (red) movements one candle ahead on the chart, providing a visual representation of potential stop levels.
To use the indicator effectively, traders can adjust the ATR length and multiplier parameters based on their trading strategies and risk management preferences. By considering distinct price movements, this tool can assist in setting more informed stop levels in varying market conditions.
Please note that while the "ATR Stop" indicator can be a valuable addition to a trader's toolbox, it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make well-informed trading decisions.
Gap SMAGap SMA Indicator - Analyzing Price Gaps with Moving Averages
Description:
The Gap SMA (Simple Moving Average) indicator is a powerful tool designed to analyze price gaps, a phenomenon occurring when the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous session's close. These gaps often signify abrupt shifts in market sentiment, driven by fundamental news, earnings reports, or overnight geopolitical events.
This indicator calculates and visualizes the average gap-up and gap-down based on historical data, aiding traders in identifying potential support or resistance levels driven by gap behavior.
What is a Gap?
In financial markets, a gap occurs when there is a notable difference (upward or downward) between the previous session's close and the current session's open. Gaps can be categorized as gap-ups (when the current open is higher than the previous close) or gap-downs (when the current open is lower than the previous close).
Key Features:
User-Defined Parameters: Adjust the number of gaps considered and a multiplier factor for precise customization.
Average Gap Visualization: Plotting lines representing the moving average of gap-ups and gap-downs.
Alert System: Alerts notify traders when the close price crosses above/below the average gap lines, offering potential entry or exit signals.
This tool is particularly useful for swing traders and investors interested in understanding historical gap patterns and integrating this information into their decision-making process. It can assist in determining potential stop-loss levels, defining entry or exit points, and gauging market sentiment based on gap behavior.
Feel free to experiment with various settings and timeframes to suit your trading strategy and risk tolerance. Your feedback and suggestions for further enhancements are highly appreciated!
Candle Pivot and Stop LossThe script plot upside and down side stop loss using pivot point and trure range.
The True Range, representing market volatility, is determined by finding the maximum value among the differences between the previous high-low, high-close, and low-close. The Downside Stop Loss is calculated by adding the True Range to the Pivot Point, while the Upside Stop Loss is calculated by subtracting the True Range from the Pivot Point.
These levels are plotted on the chart in blue (Pivot Point), red (Downside Stop Loss), and green (Upside Stop Loss), providing traders with essential reference points for their trading strategies.
The provided Pine Script calculates key trading levels for the current candle, including the Pivot Point, Downside Stop Loss, and Upside Stop Loss. The Pivot Point is computed as the average of the previous candle's high, low, and close prices.
Breaks and Retests with Volatility Stop [HG]The "Breaks and Retests with Volatility Stop " indicator is a powerful tool designed to assist traders in identifying key support and resistance levels, breakouts, retests, and potential trend reversals. This indicator combines two essential components: support and resistance detection, and a Volatility Stop indicator for improved risk management. Below are the key features of this indicator:
**Support and Resistance Detection:**
- **Lookback Range:** Users can customize the lookback range, determining how many bars are considered when identifying support and resistance levels. This allows for flexibility in capturing short-term or longer-term levels.
- **Bars Since Breakout:** The indicator helps traders spot retests by allowing them to specify the number of bars that should occur since a breakout before considering it a potential retest.

Sublime Trading | Trailing StoplossWhat kind of traders/investors are we?
We are trend followers. Our scripts are designed to be used on the higher timeframes (weekly/daily) to catch the large moves/trends in the market.
Most have heard of long-term trend following. Few know how to execute the strategy.
Our scripts are designed specifically to identify and invest in long-term market trends.
What does this script do?
The exit from a position is arguably more important than the entry.
Traders/Investors will regularly find themselves in an asset based on some logic, but the exit management is very much an afterthought.
Hence why traders often take profit too early and hold onto losing positions. It is emotionally driven.
The Trailing Stoploss script is designed to remove the guesswork and show you precise levels you will want to consider exiting a position when an asset reverses.
How is the trailing stoploss produced?
The script uses the formula ATR 15 x 4.
We use ATR as it produces a stoploss which is unique to the volatility of the asset. The more volatile the asset, the wider the stoploss.
We use ATR 15 as it brings an average reading across half a month, incorporating days of extreme volatility.
The multiplier 4 works well to avoid positions being stopped out prematurely on pullbacks.
When the trailing stoploss is hit, this is where you will want to consider taking profit.
What is the best timeframe to use the script?
We recommend the daily timeframe as this is where trend followers enter assets to maximise the potential of long-term trends.
The higher timeframes are where traders and investors take fewer positions and hold for longer time periods.
The trailing stoploss follows the price of the asset a distance away to give the trend structure enough space and time to develop.
A trend is ultimately a function of time. If you eliminate time, you eliminate the trend. If you eliminate the trend, you eliminate profit.
The Trailing Stoploss script is necessary for investors who appreciate that profit is accumulated by letting winning positions run and not taking profit too early.
What makes this script unique?
Exit management and knowing when to let go of an asset is one of the main struggles budding investors face. This script has been coded specifically for the daily timeframe to:
Create a trailing stoploss that is unique to the volatility of the asset.
Allow investors to stay in positions for the duration of the trend over many months.
To distinguish between a pullback and a market reversal, allowing for discretion.
This TSL script is designed to manage positions investors take in line with long-term market trends.
