Low-ATR IndicatorWe often want to use a stop loss at a certain low - N*ATR,
But it is too troublesome to manually calculate a certain day low - ATR.
This indicator simply calculates it for you, by marking the value of day low - ATR.
By default the hardcoded ATR value is 0, which means "Uses the ATR at that day with configured look back period".
If you want to use a specific ATR value, e.g.
1) You want to set the stop loss using today's ATR but another day's day low (Very often)
2) You want to set the stop loss in another timeframe - N*ATR
You can type in the value of ATR into the "hardcoded ATR" field.
(Actually this should be the most used way)

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
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.
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

Stop ATR BuyStop ATR focused on Bull Trend Following, therefore it is plotted only as ATR subtracted from the prices. This indicator has the correct calculation of the ATR formula.
SwingArm ATR Trend IndicatorThe general idea of using SwingArms is to provide a visual confirmation of a trend change.
Green for bullish (BUY)
Red for bearish (SELL)

Loro Vola StopThis indicator is a variation of a chandelier volatility stop using an average true range. The indicator draws a green support line in an uptrend and a red resistance line in a downtrend. The signals normally should be used as exit triggers.
Volatility Stop Flow [AR]The indicator is designed to scan cross multiple timeframes and display the Volatility Stop Value.
Guppy Count Back LineThe Guppy Count Back Line was created by Daryl Guppy and is essentially a trailing stop indicator. I have color coded the indicator to tell you if you should go long or short.
This was a special request so let me know if you would like me to write more scripts for other indicators!
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.)

Trailing SL Alerts [QuantNomad]It's alerts version of my Trailing SL strategy:
Use "Once Per Bar" param when creating alerts.
Trailing SL Strategy [QuantNomad]I'm a big fan of simple strategies.
This one is a very simple one. So it consists only from one Trailing SL. When SL is hit, the position is reversed and SL is tracked for a new position.
You can choose one of 3 types of SL:
% of your price
ATR - it is calculated as current ATR * multiplier
Absolute
As you can see even this simple strategy can show pretty good results.
ATR Stoploss Lines - Minimize Risk | Maximize ProfitThe ATR Stoploss is best used as a trailing stop. While actively managing your trades, move your stops up as price increases/decreases.
There is an offset of 1 candle, so the ATR will only be based on closed candles. This prevents you from moving your stop's when you really shouldn't.
The top lines are used for short positions and the bottom lines are used for long positions.
You can adjust the distance of the ATR lines from your candles by changing the multiplier in the settings.
You may want to increase the multiplier to 2-3 on less volatile assets, and keep it ~1.75 for volatile assets like BTC.
Feel free to reach out if you need any tips or more help with using these. Just remember, this indicator should only be used to manage your trades, not enter them.
Volatility Stop MTFThis is a multi-timeframe version of our Volatility Stop , an ATR-based trend detector that can be used as a stop.
► Timeframe selection
The higher timeframe can be selected using 3 different ways:
• By steps (60 min., 1D, 3D, 1W, 1M, 1Y).
• As a multiple of the current chart's resolution, which can be fractional, so 3.5 will work.
• Fixed.
Note that you can also use this indicator without the higher timeframe functionality. It will then behave as our normal Volatility Stop would.
► Stop breaches
Two modes of stop-breaching logic can be selected.
• In the default, Early Breach mode, the stop is considered breached when a bar at the chart's current resolution breaches the higher timeframe stop.
• You may also choose to calculate breaches on the higher timeframe information only.
Choosing the Early Breach mode has the advantage of generating faster exits. It will create a state of limbo where the stop has been breached but the Volatility Stop trend has not yet reversed. The impact of detecting earlier exits to minimize losses comes, as is usually the case, at the cost of a compromise: if the stop is breached early in a long trend, the indicator will then spend most of that trend in limbo. Sizeable portions of a trend can thus be missed.
A few options are provided when you use Early Breach mode:
• A red triangle can identify early breaches (default).
• You can color bars or the background to identify limbo states.
When in limbo, the color used to plot the indicator's line or shapes will always be darker.
► Alerts
Five pre-defined alerts are supplied:
• #1: On any trend change.
• #2: On changes into an uptrend.
• #3: On changes into a downtrend.
• #4: Only on breaches of the uptrend by the chart's bars (Early Breach mode). Will not trigger on a trend change.
• #5: Only on breaches of the downtrend by the chart's bars (Early Breach mode). Will not trigger on a trend change.
As usual, alerts should be configured to trigger Once Per Bar Close . When creating alerts, you will see a warning to the effect that potentially repainting code is used, even if the indicator's default non-repainting mode is active. The warning is normal.
► Other features
• You can color bars using the indicator's up/down state. When bars are colored, up bars are more brightly colored.
• The HTF line is non-repainting by default, but you can allow it to repaint.
• You can confirm the higher timeframe used by displaying it at a selectable distance from the last bar on the chart.
• Choice of 2 color themes.
• Choice of display as a line, circles, diamonds or arrows. The line can be used with the other shapes. If no line is required, set its thickness to zero.
Enjoy!
Look first. Then leap.
