Noan Indicator: A Simple Manual for Beginners
Welcome to the Noan Indicator manual!
This guide will help you understand how to use the Noan Indicator for your trading needs, even if you have little to no knowledge of trading.
The Noan Indicator is a versatile tool that can be applied to different trading strategies, such as 123 patterns, trend breaks, or sudden large price movements.
How to Start the Indicator:
1. Determine 2% risk:
The first step is to determine the risk you're willing to take for a particular trade.
We recommend a 2% risk, meaning you should not risk more than 2% of your account balance on any single trade.
a. Enter Portfolio Size: Enter the total value of your trading portfolio. This value will be used to calculate the trade size based on the percentage risk you're willing to take.
b. Enter Leverage Multiplier: Enter the leverage multiplier you are using for your trades. This value will be used to adjust the trade size accordingly.
c. Split amount to trade (Entry-DCA): Select the desired percentage split for your initial trade entry and dollar-cost averaging (DCA) trade. You can choose between 60/40, 50/50, or 100% (no DCA).
2. Identify a trade opportunity:
Analyze the market, using technical and/or fundamental analysis, to identify potential trade opportunities. Look for patterns, trends, support and resistance levels, and other indicators that signal the right time to enter a trade. Remember that the Noan Indicator is designed to assist you in managing risk, and it is not a standalone trading strategy. Always use your own research and judgement when making trading decisions.
After conducting your research and finding a good point to enter, input the trade type (long or short) into the indicator.
3. Set entry price:
The entry price should be based on your analysis and represents the price at which you would like to enter the market.
It is essential to set a realistic entry price, taking into consideration the current market conditions and price action.
After conducting your own research and identifying a good entry point for a long or short trade, input the Entry Price into the Noan Indicator.
4. Preferences:
The Noan indicator is set default with a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) area.
You can choose to disable this feature if desired.
Also an option to choose whether you want to see the values ($) or percentages (%) for the different levels in the indicator.
5. Select a predefined Trail Stop Loss:
If a trailing stop loss option is selected in the settings, a line will be displayed on the chart, showing the level where the stop loss will be moved based on the chosen option.
Protect your investment and help manage risk during the trade.
It allows you to limit your losses while allowing your profits to run.
Move Stop Loss to Average Entry: The stop loss moves to your average entry price (considering DCA) once the market reaches a specific level.
Move Stop Loss to Entry: The stop loss moves to your initial entry price.
Move Stop Loss to TP1 after DCA: The stop loss moves to the first Take Profit level after executing the DCA.
Move Stop Loss to TP1, TP2, TP3, or LTPR: The stop loss moves to the specified Take Profit level or Last Trailing Profit Range.
6. Set alerts:
Set up alerts for when the indicator reaches specific levels or when other conditions are met.
This will help you stay informed about potential trading opportunities.
To set up alerts using the Noan Indicator v2.7.0:
a. Right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert" or click the "Alerts" tab in the left sidebar and click the "+" button.
b. In the "Condition" dropdown menu, select the "Noan Indicator v2.7.0" script.
c. Choose the alert type by selecting a condition from the available options (e.g., crossing, greater than, less than, etc.).
d. Specify the alert settings, such as the alert name, message, and frequency.
e. Click "Create" to create the alert.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
The Noan Indicator is designed to suit various trading strategies and can help confirm a setup after thorough research or upon reaching a Point of Interest (POI). By inputting a pre-examined entry price, the indicator will display different potential levels for Take Profits (TPs), Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), and Stop Loss (SL) areas. These levels are based on fixed percentages derived from data collected from thousands of trades.
If the different levels correspond well with past price levels, this can provide an extra point of confirmation for your trading decision. The TPs, DCA, and SL areas at these levels are structured according to the Noan Theory, further enhancing the effectiveness of the indicator.
In summary, the Noan Indicator is a versatile and powerful tool that can help traders of all levels make more informed decisions, regardless of their trading strategy. By following this simple manual, you can start using the Noan Indicator to improve your trading performance.
