**Understanding the Indicator**
1. **Average True Range (ATR)**:
- **What It Is**: ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average range between high and low prices over a specified period.
- **Why It's Useful**: A higher ATR indicates higher volatility, which can help you set stop losses that accommodate market fluctuations.
2. **ATR Multiplier**:
- **Purpose**: Determines how far your stop loss is placed from the current price based on the ATR.
- **Example**: An ATR multiplier of 1.5 means the stop loss is set at 1.5 times the ATR away from the current price.
3. **Smoothing Methods**:
- **Options**: Choose from RMA (default), SMA, EMA, WMA, or Hull MA.
- **Effect**: Different smoothing methods can make the ATR more responsive or smoother, affecting where the stop loss is placed.
---
**How the Indicator Works**
- **Long Stop Loss Calculation**:
- **Formula**: `Long Stop Loss = Close Price - (ATR * ATR Multiplier)`
- **Purpose**: For long positions, the stop loss is set below the current price to protect against downside risk.
- **Short Stop Loss Calculation**:
- **Formula**: `Short Stop Loss = Close Price + (ATR * ATR Multiplier)`
- **Purpose**: For short positions, the stop loss is set above the current price to protect against upside risk.
- **Plotting on the Chart**:
- **Green Line**: Represents the suggested stop loss level for long positions.
- **Red Line**: Represents the suggested stop loss level for short positions.

Gaps Trend [ChartPrime]The Gaps Trend - ChartPrime indicator is designed to detect Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in the market and apply a trailing stop mechanism based on those gaps. It identifies both bullish and bearish gaps and provides traders with a way to manage trades dynamically as gaps appear. The indicator visually highlights gaps and uses the detected momentum to assess trend direction, helping traders identify price imbalances caused by strong buy or sell pressure.
⯁ KEY FEATURES & HOW TO USE
⯌ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection :
The indicator automatically detects both bullish and bearish FVGs, identifying gaps between candle highs and lows. Bullish gaps are shown in green, and bearish gaps in purple. These gaps indicate price imbalances driven by strong momentum, such as when there is significant buying or selling pressure.
Use : Traders can use FVG detection to identify periods of high price momentum, offering insight into potential continuation or exhaustion of trends.
⯌ Trailing Stop Feature Based on FVGs :
A core feature of this indicator is the trailing stop mechanism, which adjusts dynamically based on the identified FVGs. When a bullish gap is detected, the trailing stop is placed below the price to capture upward momentum, while bearish gaps result in a trailing stop placed above the price. This feature helps traders stay in trends while protecting profits as the price moves.
Use : The trailing stop follows the momentum of the price, ensuring that traders can stay in profitable trades during strong trends and exit when the momentum shifts.
bullish set up
bearish set up
⯌ Trend Direction Indication :
The indicator colors the chart according to the current trend direction based on the position of the price relative to the trailing stop. Green indicates an uptrend (bullish gap), while purple shows a downtrend (bearish gap). This provides traders with a quick visual assessment of trend direction based on the presence of gaps.
Use : Traders can monitor the chart's color to stay aligned with the market’s trend, staying long during green phases and short during purple ones.
⯌ Gap Size Filtering :
Each detected gap is assigned a numerical ranking based on its size, with larger gaps having higher rankings. The gap size filter allows traders to only display gaps that meet a minimum size threshold, focusing on the most impactful gaps in terms of price movement.
Use : Traders can use the filter to focus on gaps of a certain size, filtering out smaller, less significant gaps. The numerical ranking helps identify the largest and most influential gaps for decision-making.
⯌ FVG Level Visualization :
The indicator can display dashed lines marking the levels of previously filled FVGs. These levels represent areas where price once experienced a gap and later filled it. Monitoring these levels can provide traders with key reference points for potential reactions in price.
Use : Traders can use these gap levels to track where price has filled gaps and potentially use these levels as zones for entry, exit, or assessing market behavior.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Filter Gaps : Adjust the size threshold to filter gaps by their size ranking.
Show Gap Levels : Toggle the display of dashed lines at filled FVG levels.
Enable Trailing Stop : Activate or deactivate the trailing stop feature based on FVGs.

User-Defined RSI-Adaptive Dynamic Stop Loss User-Defined RSI-Adaptive Dynamic Stop Loss
(Long name is: User-Defined RSI-Adaptive Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) Indicator)
The User-Defined RSI-Adaptive SDSL Indicator is an enhanced version of the Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) indicator. It provides a more adaptive risk management strategy by adjusting the stop loss level dynamically based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The script allows users to define the stop loss parameters, offering a flexible approach that can be tailored to different market conditions.
How It Works / Calculation:
RSI Calculation: The indicator calculates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) over a user-defined period (default 14). The RSI is used to determine market overbought and oversold levels, which are set by default at 70 and 30, respectively, but these levels can be adjusted by the user.
Adaptive Stop Loss Percentage: The stop loss percentage is dynamically adjusted between user-defined maximum (default 10%) and minimum (default 1%) values. This percentage adapts based on the current RSI value:
When RSI is in the oversold zone, the stop loss percentage is at its maximum (providing a wider margin).
When RSI is in the overbought zone, the stop loss percentage is at its minimum (tightening the stop to secure gains).
Dynamic Stop Loss Calculation:
Initialization: If no existing stop loss level is set, it initializes at a user-defined percentage below the current closing price.
Upward Movement: If the price rises above the current stop loss level, the stop loss is recalculated to stay within the adaptive range.
Price Crosses Below Stop Loss: If the price falls below the current stop loss level, the indicator resets, establishing a new stop loss level at the user-defined percentage below the low of the candle where the crossover occurred.
Visual and Data Display:
The stop loss line is plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
A data box on the chart provides real-time updates on the current dynamic stop loss level, stop loss percentage, and RSI value.
Key Features:
User-Configurable Parameters: Users can adjust the RSI period, overbought/oversold levels, and the maximum and minimum stop loss percentages to suit their trading style and risk tolerance.
Dynamic Adaptation to Market Conditions: The stop loss level automatically adjusts according to RSI, allowing for more flexible risk management.
Visual Alerts and Signals : Optional visual signals indicate when the stop loss is triggered.
Informational Display: A table on the chart displays current indicator data for quick reference.
Note:
This script builds upon the previously developed "Smart Dynamic Stop Loss (SDSL) Indicator" and enhances its functionality by incorporating RSI-based adaptive stop loss settings that users can customize.
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.
Conclusion:
Trailing Stop Pro is an essential tool for traders looking to enhance their risk management strategies with precision and ease. By automating the trailing stop process and providing clear visual feedback, this indicator empowers you to navigate the markets with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting, Trailing Stop Pro offers the functionality and flexibility needed to optimize your trading performance.
The Trailing Stop Pro indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in managing risk and optimizing their trading strategies. However, it should not be considered as financial advice or a guarantee of profitability. Trading involves significant risk, and it is possible to lose more than your initial investment. Users are encouraged to thoroughly test the indicator in a demo environment and consider their own financial situation and risk tolerance before using it in live trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should seek advice from a qualified financial advisor if needed.

Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System
### **Overview**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a complex trading indicator designed to help traders identify potential bullish and bearish imbalances in the market, coupled with a trailing stop mechanism to manage trades. The indicator uses a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and custom logic to detect trading signals and plot various levels on the chart to assist traders in making informed decisions.
### **Key Components and Functionality**
#### 1. **Inputs and Configuration**
- **Imbalance Filter (`imbalanceFilter`)**: This input sets the filter for detecting imbalances based on the difference between two price points. The value is a float and can be adjusted to fine-tune the sensitivity of imbalance detection. The default value is `0.0`, with a step size of `0.1`.
- **Moving Average Settings (`maLength1`, `maLength2`, `maColor1`, `maColor2`)**:
- `maLength1` and `maLength2` define the lengths of the two moving averages used in the indicator. By default, they are set to `50` and `200` periods, respectively.
- `maColor1` and `maColor2` specify the colors of these moving averages on the chart. The first MA is colored blue, and the second is red.
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings (`displayTP`, `tpMultiplier`, `tpColor`, `displaySL`, `slMultiplier`, `slColor`)**:
- `displayTP` and `displaySL` are boolean inputs that control whether the TP and SL areas are displayed on the chart.
- `tpMultiplier` and `slMultiplier` are multipliers used to calculate the TP and SL levels relative to the detected imbalance level using the ATR value.
- `tpColor` and `slColor` define the colors of these areas. The TP area is green (with a transparency of 50), and the SL area is red (with a transparency of 50).
- **Trailing Stop Settings (`trailMultiplier`)**: This setting determines the multiplier used to calculate the trailing stop level based on the ATR value. The default multiplier is `2.5`.
- **Style Settings (`bullishColor`, `bearishColor`)**:
- `bullishColor` and `bearishColor` set the colors for bullish and bearish zones created when an imbalance is detected. The bullish zone is green, and the bearish zone is red.
- **Signal Label Size (`labelSizeOption`)**: The size of the signal labels displayed on the chart can be adjusted. The options include `Tiny`, `Small`, `Normal`, `Large`, and `Huge`. The selected size affects the visual prominence of the labels.
#### 2. **ATR Calculation (`atrValue`)**
- The ATR value is calculated using a period of 14, which is a standard setting for measuring market volatility. This value is used extensively throughout the indicator to calculate TP, SL, and trailing stop levels.
#### 3. **Imbalance Detection and Zone Creation**
- The indicator detects potential imbalances in the market by comparing certain price points, using a custom function (`imbalanceCondition`).
- **Bullish Imbalance Detection (`bullishSignal`)**:
- A bullish imbalance is detected when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of one bar ago, and the current close is above the low of three bars ago.
- Additional conditions include checking that the current close is above the calculated average of the two moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`), and that the imbalance exceeds the threshold set by the `imbalanceFilter`.
- **Bearish Imbalance Detection (`bearishSignal`)**:
- A bearish imbalance is detected under conditions where the low of one bar ago is higher than the high of three bars ago, and the current close is below the high of three bars ago.
- Like the bullish signal, the close must also be below the average of the two moving averages, and the imbalance must exceed the `imbalanceFilter` threshold.
- Upon detection of an imbalance (either bullish or bearish), the indicator creates a zone using `box.new` that highlights the price range of the imbalance. The box color corresponds to the bullish or bearish nature of the signal.
- The center of the imbalance range is marked with a dashed line, and a corresponding label (`🔴` for bearish and `🟢` for bullish) is placed on the chart to indicate the detected signal.
#### 4. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation (`calculateTPSL`)**
- When an imbalance is detected, the indicator calculates potential TP and SL levels based on the ATR value and the respective multipliers.
- If the TP or SL areas are enabled, the indicator plots these areas as colored boxes on the chart.
- The function also tracks whether these levels are hit by subsequent price action, updating the status (`reached`) as appropriate.
#### 5. **Trailing Stop Logic (`applyTrailingStop`)**
- The trailing stop feature is a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the stop level as the price moves in the trader's favor.
- The trailing stop is calculated using the ATR value multiplied by the `trailMultiplier`.
- If the trailing stop is triggered (i.e., the price crosses the trailing stop level), the indicator marks the trade as stopped out.
#### 6. **Plotting and Visualization**
- The indicator plots the two moving averages on the chart with the specified colors and line width.
- If a trailing stop is active, it plots the trailing stop level on the chart, updating as the stop moves.
- The bar color changes based on the status of the current signal and whether the trailing stop or TP/SL levels have been hit.
### **Detailed Execution Flow**
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initializes several variables, including lines, boxes, and the current signal state. This setup ensures that the script can dynamically update these elements as new price data comes in.
2. **Moving Average Calculation**: The moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`) are calculated using simple moving average (SMA) functions, which are foundational for many of the indicator's conditions.
3. **Imbalance Detection**: The script evaluates price action to detect potential bullish or bearish imbalances, applying filters based on the user-defined `imbalanceFilter`.
4. **Zone Creation and Labeling**: Upon detecting an imbalance, the script creates visual zones on the chart using the `box.new` function and labels the zones for easy identification.
5. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Logic**: The TP and SL areas are calculated and plotted if the relevant settings are enabled. The script continuously checks if these levels are reached as new bars form.
6. **Trailing Stop Calculation**: The script dynamically adjusts the trailing stop level based on the price movement and ATR value. The trailing stop helps lock in profits as the trade progresses.
7. **Plotting**: The moving averages, trailing stop levels, and bar colors are plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of the indicator's signals and trade management levels.
8. **Final Checks and Updates**: The script concludes each bar's processing by updating the status of various elements, such as whether levels have been reached or if the trailing stop has been triggered.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a highly versatile indicator designed for traders who want to identify market imbalances and manage their trades effectively using a combination of moving averages, ATR-based calculations, and custom logic. The indicator offers a wide range of customization options, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of imbalance detection, the size of the signal labels, and the visibility of various trade management levels (TP, SL, and trailing stop).
The combination of these features makes it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders, providing clear visual cues and robust trade management capabilities directly on the chart.

Provides at-a-glance information about current market conditions
Displays trend direction, last signal, histogram direction, threshold mode, and divergence status
🔵 HOW TO USE
● Trend Identification
Use the main oscillator line color and position, along with the trend filter lines, to determine the overall market trend
● Entry Signals
Strong signals (circles) suggest potential entry points in the direction of the trend
Simple signals (X marks) can be used for more frequent, but potentially less reliable, entry opportunities
Histogram crossover signals (dots) can indicate changes faster than the main oscillator line
Look for alignment with confluence arrows for stronger entry signals
● Exit Signals
Use the overbought/oversold thresholds as potential enter and exit points
Stop levels (if enabled) provide dynamic exit points for risk management
● Reversal Identification
Watch for divergences between price and the oscillator for potential trend reversals
Pay attention to the histogram direction for early signs of momentum shifts
Notice changes in the trend filter lines (from three lines to one, or vice versa)
● Confirmation
Use the dashboard to quickly confirm the current market state and indicator readings
Combine signals from different elements (main line, histogram, trend filter, confluence arrows) for stronger confirmation

Market Structure Based Stop LossMarket Structure Based Dynamic Stop Loss
Introduction
The Market Structure Based Stop Loss indicator is a strategic tool for traders designed to be useful in both rigorous backtesting and live testing, by providing an objective, “guess-free” stop loss level. This indicator dynamically plots suggested stop loss levels based on market structure, and the concepts of “interim lows/highs.”
It provides a robust framework for managing risk in both long and short positions. By leveraging historical price movements and real time market dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify quantitatively consistent risk levels while optimizing trade returns.
Legend
This indicator utilizes various inputs to customize its functionality, including "Stop Loss Sensitivity" and "Wick Depth," which dictate how closely the stop loss levels hug the price's highs and lows. The stop loss levels are plotted as lines on the trading chart, providing clear visual cues for position management. As seen in the chart below, this indicator dynamically plots stop loss levels for both long and short positions at every point in time.
A “Stop Loss Table” is also included, in order to enhance precision trading and increase backtesting accuracy. It is customizable in both size and positioning.
Case Study
Methodology
The methodology behind this indicator focuses on the precision placement of stop losses using market structure as a guide. It calculates stop losses by identifying the "lowest close" and the corresponding "lowest low" for long setups, and inversely for short setups. By adjusting the sensitivity settings, traders can tweak the indicator's responsiveness to price changes, ensuring that the stop losses are set with a balance between tight risk control and enough room to avoid premature exits due to market noise. The indicator's ability to adapt to different trading styles and time frames makes it an essential tool for traders aiming for efficiency and effectiveness in their risk management strategies.
An important point to make is the fact that the stop loss levels are always placed within the wicks. This is important to avoid what can be described as a “floating stop loss”. A stop loss placed outside of a wick is susceptible to an outsized degree of slippage. This is because traders always cluster their stop losses at high/low wicks, and a stop loss placed outside of this level will inevitably be caught in a low liquidity cascade or “wash-out.” When price approaches a cluster of stop losses, it is highly probable that you will be stopped out anyway, so it is prudent to attempt to be the trader who gets stopped out first in order to avoid high slippage, and losses above what you originally intended.
// For long positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the lowest wick
float dynamic_SL_Long = lowestClose - (lowestClose - lowestLow) * (1 - WickDepth)
// For short positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the highest wick
float dynamic_SL_Short = highestClose + (highestHigh - highestClose) * (1 - WickDepth)
The percentage depth of the wick in which the stop loss is placed is customisable with the “Wick Depth” variable, in order to customize stop loss strategies around the liquidity of the market a trader is executing their orders in.
Harmonic Patterns [WinWorld]PREFACE
This indicator was made with the help of our team's fellow friend and harmonic patterns expert, whose support we deeply appreciate — @Muneer_Gove
DESCRIPTION
Harmonic patterns are one the most recognizable and popular trading concepts in the word of trading.
They are distinct formations, found in the financial markets, that predict potential price movements based on Fibonacci ratios. These patterns, which include the Gartley, Bat, Alt Bat, Butterfly and etc., identify specific and repetitive price structures that can forecast future price reversals. By incorporating these patterns into trading process, one does gain an opportunity to profit from repetetitve price movements.
The whole thing about harmonic pattern is the process of finding them. The basic step-by-step guide to build a harmonic pattern is this:
Locate significant highs and lows on the chart, which form the basis of the pattern. The best tools to use for this purple is zigzag, because zigzag indicator draw lines, which will be helpful quite helpful in the process and will save you a lot of time;
Use Fibonacci tools to measure the retracement and extension levels between legs of pattern — distances between pair of points . Each harmonic pattern has specific Fibonacci ratios that define its structure;
Draw lines connecting the pivot points according to the pattern's structure. For example, a Gartley pattern connects five points (X, A, B, C, D) in a specific sequence and ratio;
Ensure that the identified structure adheres to the harmonic pattern’s Fibonacci requirements. If the points align within the acceptable ranges, the pattern is valid.
In order to better understand this process let's see an example of the pattern from our indicator right away:
This is a Butterfly pattern. Its set of retracememt ratios is as follows:
AB/XA = 0.756 to 0.816
BC/AB = 0.382 to 0.990
CD/BC = 1.618 to 2.618
AD/XA = 1.27
Below you can see that each ratio of the pattern is successfully met:
* Note : white lines — ratio range, yellow line — point 's price level in between ranges.
AB/XA Ratio
BC/AB Ratio
CD/BC Ratio
AD/XA Ratio
SETTINGS
Main Settings
Failed Patterns — shows/hides patterns, which meet one of these conditions:
— Price crossed level of point C before reaching PRZ;
— New pattern appeared and PRZ of previous pattern was not reached;
Completed Patterns — shosw/hides patterns, whose PRZ was reached;
Dashboard — shows/hides dashboard, which displays active patterns (patterns, which can be used to trade).
Alert Settings
PRZ — enables/disables alert of event, when price reaches PRZ.
ZigZag Settings
Depth #1-9 — shows/hides patterns of the chosen zigzag copy. Here you can choose customize depth number.
Pattern Visual Controls
Bullish Patterns — shows/hides bullish patterns;
Bearish Patterns — shows/hides bearish patterns;
Pending Patterns — shows/hides patterns, whose PRZ has not been reached yet;
list of pattern names — hides/shows chosen pattern.
Colours
Bullish — colour of bullish patterns;
Bearish — colour of bearish patterns.
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
PRZ — entry target level.
If its text near the line level is purple, it means that PRZ has NOT been reached yet.
If it is white, it means that PRZ has been reached.
In order for SL or TP to be counted when price reaches, price has to reach PRZ first with its high/low.
SL — stop-loss.
If its near the line level is red, it means that SL has NOT been reached yet.
If it is white, it means that SL has been reached.
If it is gray, it means that SL has been invalidated — price crossed with high/low the level of point C before reaching PRZ.
If SL is reached and price reaches TP targets, they will be counted.
SL of each pattern are built by individual ratio. For example, in Butterfly pattern SL ratio is 1.414 and it is calculated as (SL - A)/XA.
IMPORTANT NOTE : SL is reached when price crosses SL level with candle's close (!)
TP — take-profit.
If its near the line level is green, it means that TP has NOT been reached yet.
If it is white, it means that TP has been reached.
If one of the TP targets is reached and price reached SL, it will not be counted.
IMPORTANT NOTE : TP is reached when price crosses TP level with candle's high/low(!)
TP of each pattern are built by same the ratios for all patterns, but it is calculated by individual algorithm. For example, in the same Butterfly pattern TP ratio will be 0.382, 0.500 and 0.618 and they will be placed as Fibonacci retracement grid from point A to point D ( same for formula for all other patterns, excluding the ones listed next ), BUT on Shark , Muner and AB=CD pattern the same TP will be placed as Fibonacci retracement grid from point C to point D
WHY USE THIS INDICATOR?
Our Harmic Patterns indicator uses zigzag, which is based on depth mechanic. In order to identify the maximum possible amount of patterns this indicator runs 9 copies of the same zigzags with different depth values. Each copy of zigzag can be turned off in the settings individually.
At the moment of publishing, this indicator can autmatically identify 10 patterns:
Crab
Deep Crab
Gartley
Deep Gartley
Bat
Alt Bat
Muner
Butterfly
Shark
AB=CD
Things, that make this indicator different from other harmonic pattern indicator, are:
Advanced pattern recognition and validation process. We have implemeted special logic, which allows the indicator to draw fully accurate patterns, which satisfy industry standards.
For example, let's say we have a bearish pattern. We take points X an A. If there is a price's high, that is above X point's high, such pattern should be automatically invalidated. We have found even one indicator that does perform such validation process, and our indicator does that. . And this is just one example, we have much of such mechanics implemeted thanks to Mr. Muner's knowledge.
Advanced pattern extension mechanics . Right this mechanic applies to only one pattern — Shark. Its classic CD/BC ratio is 0.886, but when price moves in a way so this ratio now equals to 1.13, this signal the indicator to redraw the pattern, based on this new CD/BC ratio. We haven't found any indicator on the market that has such mechanic implemented.
Dashboard for displaying active patterns . On this dashboard you can find patterns, whose SL and TP have not been touched yet. If price touches the SL or TP of the pattern, this pattern is removed from the dashboard, because it is considered finished.
At the moment of publishing this dashboard only shows the patterns from the current timeframe.
Informative alert when price reaches PRZ of the pattern . Many other indicator do not provide details of this event, which requires trader to waste his time on opening up the chart and searching for this event. Our indicator allows trader to see the PRZ price right when alert happens and open up the trade much fastr.
Alert message is made by this template:
, : PRZ was reached at on
Example:
BTCUSDT, long Bat: PRZ was reached at 70,000 on 15m.
ALERTS
At the moment of publishing this indicator offers one alert, which happens when price reaches PRZ level.
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS INDICATOR?
This indicator can act as the standalone tool, because PRZ, TP and SL are assigned to each pattern and tracked during the pattern's life period.
You can this indicator with any other strategy or indicator, because this indicator is basically a tool that shows the trader repetitive price formations, after which price tends to go a certaion direction in the most cases, allowing trader to profit from it.
You can try combining Harmonic Patterns indicator with Smart Money tools, made by our team, because Smart Money strategies basically show the most liquid price zones and levels, which can be used to find an entry opportunity and Harmonic Patterns indicator can be added to make a final decision on the entry.
If you are interested in trying these two strategies together, feel free to learn Smart Money trading strategy by reading our Advanced SMC guide, which is available in our eductional materials.
SUMMARY
Harmonic Patterns indicator is an advanced tool of technical analysis, which automatically finds 10 most used harmonic patterns on the chart, assign PRZ, TP and SL targets to them and tracks them during each pattern 'life period'.
While searching for these patterns, this indicator performs series of validation techniques, that allow trader to see only the most valid patterns, which have a higher changes to succeed.
This indicator can be used both as a standalone tool and as 'team player' for any stategy by being the tool, which can be used for making a final decision on an entry target.
AFTERWORD
This indicator has been developed for more than 2 weeks, which consisted of everyday discussions, bug fixes and special additons to the algorithm in order to making patterns more valid, so we really hope you will find a great use of this indicator and it will help you recude time on the analysis and boost your profits :)
We want to express our gratitude to @Muneer_Gove once again, because he has done huge job helping us fine-tuning the algorithm, building complex pattern validatiom and extension logic and fixing bugs. Thank you!
Best of luck , traders!
— with love, WinWorld Team
Simple Risk-to-Reward Multiplier A simple R/R indicator that allows you to input your entry price and stop loss (in ticks). Then, your take profit levels are R-multipliers based on your stop loss. You can have up to 5 take profit levels on your chart. There is also a function to indicate if it is a long or short setup. You can also set alerts with this script, allowing you the ability not to have to stare at the charts all day.
[INVX] Trailing StopDescription:
The Adjustable Trailing Stop Indicator is a practical tool designed to enhance your trading strategy by allowing for automatic modifications of stop-loss orders according to your specified parameters. This indicator provides a dynamic alternative to the traditional static stop-loss orders, assisting in managing your potential profits and curbing possible losses.
Features and Functionality:
The Trailing Stop Indicator provides three main inputs for customization:
"Trailing Stop Start Date" : This input enables you to set the start date for the trailing stop. From this date forward, the indicator begins tracking price changes and adjusts the stop-loss order in response.
"Trigger Delta (%)" : This represents the percentage for the trailing stop. It denotes the set percentage at which the stop order adjusts.
"Order" : This input determines whether the trailing stop applies to a Buy or Sell order. Depending on the selection, the indicator adjusts the stop price as the price escalates (for Sell order) or declines (for Buy order).
How Does the Trailing Stop Indicator Work?
The Trailing Stop Indicator functions by dynamically adjusting the stop price in line with market fluctuations. If the market price rises (for Sell order), the stop price automatically ascends, securing potential profits. In a declining market (for Buy order), the stop price descends according to the market.
This indicator eliminates the need for constant manual adjustments, reducing the impact of emotional trading and helping traders maintain their risk management strategy. By using this tool, traders can implement a more disciplined and systematic approach to trading.
VAWSI and Trend Persistance Reversal Strategy SL/TPThis is a completely revamped version of my "RSI and ATR Trend Reversal Strategy."
What's New?
The RSI has been replaced with an original indicator of mine, the "VAWSI," as I've elected to call it.
The standard RSI measures a change in an RMA to determine the strength of a movement.
The VAWSI performs very similarly, except it uses another original indicator of mine, the VAWMA.
VAWMA stands for "Volume (and) ATR Weight Moving Average." It takes an average of the volume and ATR and uses the ratio of each bar to weigh a moving average of the source.
It has the same formula as an RSI, but uses the VAWMA instead of an RMA.
Next we have the Trend Persistence indicator, which is an index on how long a trend has been persisting for. It is another original indicator. It takes the max deviation the source has from lowest/highest of a specified length. It then takes a cumulative measure of that amount, measures the change, then creates a strength index with that amount.
The VAWSI is a measure of an emerging trend, and the Trend Persistence indicator is a measure of how long a trend has persisted.
Finally, the 3rd main indicator, is a slight variation of an ATR. Rather than taking the max of source - low or high- source and source - source , it instead takes the max of high-low and the absolute value of source - the previous source. It then takes the absolute value of the change of this, and normalizes it with the source.
Inputs
Minimum SL/TP ensures that the Stop Loss and Take Profit still exist in untrendy markets. This is the minimum Amount that will always be applied.
VAWSI Weight is a divided by 100 multiplier for the VAWSI. So value of 200 means it is multiplied by 2. Think of it like a percentage.
Trend Persistence weight and ATR Weight are applied the same. Higher the number, the more impactful on the final calculation it is.
Combination Mult is an outright multiplier to the final calculation. So a 2.0 = * 2.0
Trend Persistence Smoothing Length is the length of the weighted moving average applied to the Trend Persistence Strength index.
Length Cycle Decimal is a replacement of length for the script.
Here we used BlackCat1402's Dynamic Length Calculation, which can be found on his page. With his permission we have implemented it into this script. Big shout out to them for not only creating, but allowing us to use it here.
The Length Cycle Decimal is used to calculate the dynamic length. Because TradingView only allows series int for their built-in library, a lot of the baseline indicators we use have to be manually recreated as functions in the following section.
The Strategy
As usual, we use Heiken Ashi values for calculations.
We begin by establishing the minimum SL/TP for use later.
Next we determine the amount of bars back since the last crossup or crossdown of our threshold line.
We then perform some normalization of our multipliers. We want a larger trend or larger VAWSI amount to narrow the threshold, so we have 1 divide them. This way, a higher reading outputs a smaller number and vice versa. We do this for both Trend Persistence, and the VAWSI.
The VAWSI we also normalize, where rather than it being a 0-100 reading of trend direction and strength, we absolute it so that as long as a trend is strong, regardless of direction, it will have a higher reading. With these normalized values, we add them together and simply subtract the ATR measurement rather than having 1 divide it.
Here you can see how the different measurements add up. A lower final number suggests imminent reversal, and a higher final number suggests an untrendy or choppy market.
ATR is in orange, the Trend Persistence is blue, the VAWSI is purple, and the final amount is green.
We take this final number and depending on the current trend direction, we multiply it by either the Highest or Lowest source since the last crossup or crossdown. We then take the highest or lowest of this calculation, and have it be our Stop Loss or Take Profit. This number cannot be higher/lower than the previous source to ensure a rapid spike doesn't immediately close your position on a still continuing trend. As well, the threshold cannot be higher/ lower than the the specified Stop Loss and Take Profit
Only after the source has fully crossed these lines do we consider it a crossup or crossdown. We confirm this with a barstate.isconfirmed to prevent repainting. Next, each time there is a crossup or crossdown we enter a long or a short respectively and plot accordingly.
I have the strategy configured to "process on order close" to ensure an accurate backtesting result. You could also set this to false and add a 1 bar delay to the "if crossup" and "if crossdown" lines under strategy so that it is calculated based on the open of the next bar.
Final Notes
The amounts have been preconfigured for performance on RIOT 5 Minute timeframe. Other timeframes are viable as well. With a few changes to the parameters, this strategy has backtested well on NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, and AMD. I recommend before altering settings to try other timeframes first.
This script does not seem to perform nearly as well in typically untrendy and choppy markets such as crypto and forex. With some setting changes, I have seen okay results with crypto, but overfitting could be the cause there.
Thank you very much, and please enjoy.

Position Sizing Tool - Fixed Loss - Multi Asset [RSC]
This script is an Multi Asset measurement tool that can be used to evaluate or keep track of trades. Like the long and short position drawing tools, it calculates a risk reward ratio and a risk-adjusted position size from multiple entries (4 maximum), stop and take profit multiple levels ( 4 maximum) , but it also does much more:
• It can be used to configure long or short trades.
• All monetary values can be expressed in any number of currencies.
• The value of tick/pip movement (which varies with the position's size) is displayed in the currency you have selected.
• It does live tracking of the position.
• You can configure alerts on entries and exits.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart.
When you first load this script on a chart, you are able specify following parameter
• Account Balance
• Account currency.
And for each asset (Max 8):
• Symbols Ticker (and Exchange)
• Risk per trade (% or Amount base on Account Currency)
• Account Size
• Entry Time
• Entry levels (Max. 4)
• Leverage (only works for crypto) (same leverage for all entries)
• Stop loss level.
• Take profit level (Max. 4)
• Exit level percentage (Max. 4)
Once you have entered (or modify) parameters, the script will draw trade zones and levels labels containing the trade metrics:
• determines if the trade is a long or short from the position of the take profit and stop loss levels in relation to the entry price. If the take profit level is above the entry price, the stop must be below and vice versa, otherwise an error occurs.
• You can change levels by entering new values in the script's settings.
Once you place the position tool on a chart, it will appear at the same levels on symbols that you selected in script setting and nothing showed up for other symbols.
If your scale is not set to "Scale price chart only", the position tool's levels will be taken into account when scaling the chart, which can cause the symbol's bars to be compressed. If your scale is set to "Scale price chart only", the position tool will still be there, but it will not impact the scale of the chart's bars, so you won't see it if it sits outside the symbol's price scale.
█ FEATURES
Display
The position tool displays the following information for entries:
• The price level with “ Stoploss/Entry/Target” sign before it.
• Open or Closed P&L: For an open trade, the "Open P&L" displays the difference in money value between the entry level and the chart's current price.
For a closed trade, the "Closed P&L" displays the realized P&L on the trade.
• Quantity: The trade size, which takes into account the risk tolerance you set in the script's settings.
• RR: The reward to risk ratio expresses the relationship of the distance between the entry and the take profit level vs the entry and the stop level.
Example: A $100 stop with a $100 target will have a ratio of 1:1, whereas a $200 target with the same stop will have a 2:1 ratio.
• Per tick/pip: Represents the money value of a tick or pip movement.
• Their distance from the entry in money value, percentage and ticks/pips.
• The projected end money value of the position if the level is reached. These values are calculated based on the trade size and the currency.
█ Currency adjustments
This indicator modifies the trade label's colors and values based on the final Profit and Loss (P&L), which considers the dynamic exchange rate between base and conversion currencies in its calculations when the conversion currency is a specified value other than the default. Depending on the cross rate between the base and account currencies, this process can yield a negative P&L on an otherwise successful simulated trade.
For instance, if your account is in currency XYZ, you might buy 10 Apple shares at $150 each, with the XYZ to USD exchange rate being 2:1. This purchase would cost you 3000 units of XYZ. Suppose that later on, the shares appreciate to $170 each, and you decide to sell. One might expect this trade to result in profit. However, if the exchange rate has now equalized to 1:1, the return on selling the shares, calculated in XYZ, would only be 1700 units, resulting in a loss of 1300 units XYZ.
The indicator will mark the P&L and the target labels in red in such cases, regardless of whether the market price reached the profit target, as the trade produced a net loss due to reduced funds after currency conversion. Conversely, an otherwise unsuccessful position can result in a net profit in the account currency due to conversion rate fluctuations. The final losses or gains appear in the label metrics, and the corresponding color coding reflects the trade's success or failure.
█ Settings
The settings in the "Trade sizing" section are used to calculate the position size and the monetary value of trades. Two types of risk can be chosen from the menu; a percentage based risk calculation, or a fixed money value. The risk is used to calculate the quantity of units to purchase to achieve that level of risk exposure. Example: An account size of $1000 and 10% risk will have a projected end amount of $900 if the stop loss is hit. The quantity is a product of this relationship; a projected number of units to allow for the equivalent of $100 of risk exposure over the change in price from the entry to the stop value.
You can control the appearance of the tool and the values it displays in the settings following these first two sections.
Trade Exit Calculator [MarketSignalsPro]█ OVERVIEW
This Pine Script calculates a Stop Loss and Take Profit order suggestion based on the Average True Range (ATR). This provides a market generated visual reference for the user to better gauge risk and profit potential for their trades. This is not a trade signal system, it is a tool best used in conjunction with an existing system.
█ FEATURES
Inputs:
stopLossMultiplier and takeProfitMultiplier : These are input parameters that allow the user to adjust the multiplier for calculating stop loss and take profit levels.
longIndicator : This input parameter determines whether the script is calculating levels for a long setup (buy) or a short setup (sell).
Variable Initialization:
Various variables are initialized to manage labels, lines, and calculated stop loss and take profit levels.
ATR (Average True Range) is calculated using a period of 14.
Calculation of Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Depending on the value of longIndicator stop loss and take profit levels are not calculated the same way.
For long setups, stop loss is calculated below the closing price and take profit above, while for short setups, it's the opposite.
The calculation involves multiplying the ATR value by the user-defined multipliers and adding or subtracting from the closing price accordingly.
Plotting Lines:
Lines representing the calculated stop loss, take profit, and entry price are plotted on the chart.
Displaying Labels:
Labels displaying the calculated stop loss, take profit, and entry price are shown on the chart alongside the respective lines.
Updating and Deleting Objects:
Existing lines and labels are updated or deleted to ensure only the most recent levels are displayed on the chart.
Final Output:
The script outputs visual representations of stop loss, take profit, and entry price levels on the chart, providing traders with guidance for risk management and profit-taking strategies based on the volatility of the market.
█ CONCLUSION
In summary, this Pine Script enhances trading strategies by calculating and illustrating stop loss and take profit levels based on the Average True Range indicator, offering traders a structured way to manage risk and profit potential.
█ THANKS
Special thanks to Cryptosnagger for taking the time to build this Pine Script and share it freely with the community.
ATR Stop Loss Zones [ziksfx]The indicator is a dynamic tool that helps traders identify potential stop-loss levels in trending markets. It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) and uses it to create upper and lower boxes around the closing price. These boxes visually represent potential stop-loss zones for long and short positions.
Originality and Usefulness:
This indicator stands out for its unique ability to dynamically adjust stop-loss zones based on market volatility using the ATR approach. This provides traders with a flexible and adaptable risk management tool that adapts to changing market conditions. By visually representing potential stop-loss levels, taking into account the inherent uncertainty of market movements, the indicator empowers traders to make informed decisions about placing stop loses ONLY in trend markets. This allows them to maximize profit potential while minimizing potential downside risk.
Functionality:
Calculates the ATR based on the closing price.
Creates upper and lower of box by adding and subtracting the ATR multiplied by a predefined multiplier (1.5) to the closing price, then generates dynamic boxes based on the upper and lower ATR values.
Indicator allows traders to choose to display boxes for long, short, or both positions simultaneously.
Enables customization of box colors to suit individual preferences and trading styles.
Can be used as a dynamic trailing stop-loss mechanism.
Long box: Enable or disable the display of box for long positions.
Short box: Enable or disable the display of box for short positions.
Color Long Box: Set the color of the box for long positions.
Color Short Box: Set the color of the box for short positions.

RSI and ATR Trend Reversal SL/TPQuick History:
I was frustrated with a standard fixed percent TP/SL as they often were not receptive to quick market rallies/reversals. I developed this TP/SL and eventually made it into a full fledge strategy and found it did well enough to publish. This strategy can be used as a standalone or tacked onto another strategy as a TP/SL. It does function as both with a single line. This strategy has been tested with TSLA , AAPL, NVDA, on the 15 minutes timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS:
Inputs:
Length: Simple enough, it determines the length of the RSI and ATR used.
Multiplier: This multiplies the RSI and ATR calculation, more on this later.
Delay to prevent Idealization: TradingView will use the open of the bar the strategy triggers on when calculating the backtest. This can produce unrealistic results depending on the source. If your source is open, set to 0, if anything else, set to 1.
Minimum Difference: This is essentially a traditional SL/TP, it is borderline unnecessary, but if the other parameters are wacky this can be used to ensure the SL/TP. It multiplies the source by the percent, so if it is set to 10, the SL/TP is initialized at src +- 10%.
Source input: Self Explanatory, be sure to update the Delay if you use open.
CALCULATION:
Parameters Initialization:
The strategy uses Heikinashi values for calculations, this is not toggleable in parameters, but can be easily changed by changing hclose to equal src.
FUNCTION INITIALIZATION:
highest_custom and lowest_custom do the same thing as ta.highest and ta.lowest, however the built in ta library does not allow for var int input, so I had to create my own functions to be used here. I actually developed these years ago and have used them in almost every strategy since. Feel especially free to use these in your own scripts.
The rsilev is where the magic happens.
SL/TP min/max are initially calculated to be used later.
Then we begin by establishing variables.
BullGuy is used to determine the length since the last crossup or crossdown, until one happens, it returns na, breaking the function. BearGuy is used in all the calculations, and is the same as BullGuy, unless BullGuy is na, where BearGuy counts up from 1 on each bar from 0.
We create our rsi and have to modify the second one to suit the function. In the case of the upper band, we mirror the lower one. So if the RSI is 80, we want it to be 20 on the upper band.
the upper band and lower band are calculated the exact same way, but mirrored. For the purpose of writing, I'm going to talk about the lower band. Assume everything is mirrored for the upper one. It finds the highest source since the last crossup or crossdown. It then multiplies from 1 / the RSI, this means that a rapid RSI increase will increase the band dramatically, so it is able to capture quick rally/reversals. We add this to the atr to source ratio, as the general volatility is a massive factor to be included. We then multiply this number by our chosen amount, and subtract it from the highest source, creating the band.
We do this same process but mirrored with both bands and compared it to the source. If the source is above the lower band, it suggests an uptrend, so the lower band is outputted, and vice versa for the upper one.
PLOTTING:
We also determine the line color in the same manner as we do the trend direction.
STRATEGY:
We then use the source again, and if it crosses up or down relative to the selected band, we enter a long or short respectively.
This may not be the most superb independent strategy, but it can be very useful as a TP/SL for your chosen entry conditions, especially in volatile markets or tickers.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and please enjoy.
Bitcoin Momentum StrategyThis is a very simple long-only strategy I've used since December 2022 to manage my Bitcoin position.
I'm sharing it as an open-source script for other traders to learn from the code and adapt it to their liking if they find the system concept interesting.
General Overview
Always do your own research and backtesting - this script is not intended to be traded blindly (no script should be) and I've done limited testing on other markets beyond Ethereum and BTC, it's just a template to tweak and play with and make into one's own.
The results shown in the strategy tester are from Bitcoin's inception so as to get a large sample size of trades, and potential returns have diminished significantly as BTC has grown to become a mega cap asset, but the script includes a date filter for backtesting and it has still performed solidly in recent years (speaking from personal experience using it myself - DYOR with the date filter).
The main advantage of this system in my opinion is in limiting the max drawdown significantly versus buy & hodl. Theoretically much better returns can be made by just holding, but that's also a good way to lose 70%+ of your capital in the inevitable bear markets (also speaking from experience).
In saying all of that, the future is fundamentally unknowable and past results in no way guarantee future performance.
System Concept:
Capture as much Bitcoin upside volatility as possible while side-stepping downside volatility as quickly as possible.
The system uses a simple but clever momentum-style trailing stop technique I learned from one of my trading mentors who uses this approach on momentum/trend-following stock market systems.
Basically, the system "ratchets" up the stop-loss to be much tighter during high bearish volatility to protect open profits from downside moves, but loosens the stop loss during sustained bullish momentum to let the position ride.
It is invested most of the time, unless BTC is trading below its 20-week EMA in which case it stays in cash/USDT to avoid holding through bear markets. It only trades one position (no pyramiding) and does not trade short, but can easily be tweaked to do whatever you like if you know what you're doing in Pine.
Default parameters:
HTF: Weekly Chart
EMA: 20-Period
ATR: 5-period
Bar Lookback: 7
Entry Rule #1:
Bitcoin's current price must be trading above its higher-timeframe EMA (Weekly 20 EMA).
Entry Rule #2:
Bitcoin must not be in 'caution' condition (no large bearish volatility swings recently).
Enter at next bar's open if conditions are met and we are not already involved in a trade.
"Caution" Condition:
Defined as true if BTC's recent 7-bar swing high minus current bar's low is > 1.5x ATR, or Daily close < Daily 20-EMA.
Trailing Stop:
Stop is trailed 1 ATR from recent swing high, or 20% of ATR if in caution condition (ie. 0.2 ATR).
Exit on next bar open upon a close below stop loss.
I typically use a limit order to open & exit trades as close to the open price as possible to reduce slippage, but the strategy script uses market orders.
I've never had any issues getting filled on limit orders close to the market price with BTC on the Daily timeframe, but if the exchange has relatively low slippage I've found market orders work fine too without much impact on the results particularly since BTC has consistently remained above $20k and highly liquid.
Cost of Trading:
The script uses no leverage and a default total round-trip commission of 0.3% which is what I pay on my exchange based on their tier structure, but this can vary widely from exchange to exchange and higher commission fees will have a significantly negative impact on realized gains so make sure to always input the correct theoretical commission cost when backtesting any script.
Static slippage is difficult to estimate in the strategy tester given the wide range of prices & liquidity BTC has experienced over the years and it largely depends on position size, I set it to 150 points per buy or sell as BTC is currently very liquid on the exchange I trade and I use limit orders where possible to enter/exit positions as close as possible to the market's open price as it significantly limits my slippage.
But again, this can vary a lot from exchange to exchange (for better or worse) and if BTC volatility is high at the time of execution this can have a negative impact on slippage and therefore real performance, so make sure to adjust it according to your exchange's tendencies.
Tax considerations should also be made based on short-term trade frequency if crypto profits are treated as a CGT event in your region.
Summary:
A simple, but effective and fairly robust system that achieves the goals I set for it.
From my preliminary testing it appears it may also work on altcoins but it might need a bit of tweaking/loosening with the trailing stop distance as the default parameters are designed to work with Bitcoin which obviously behaves very differently to smaller cap assets.
Good luck out there!
Swing Trading Indicators (Improved)This "Swing Trading Indicators" script is a sophisticated trading tool designed for traders who wants to use technical analysis for identifying optimal entry points, safeguarding profits, and protect their capital. With foundations loosely based on the momentum burst strategy by Pradeep Bonde, Kristjan Kullamaggie's trading methodologies, and incorporating automatic stop-losses based on Average Daily Range (ADR) and Average True Range (ATR), this script offers a comprehensive solution if you want to capitalize on short-term market movements.
Key Features:
Indicators and Moving Averages: Includes EMA (5, 10, 20, 50 days), SMA (200 days), and the highest and lowest prices over 200 days to provide a multifaceted view of market trends and momentum.
Thrust Indicator: Central to the script, the thrust indicator signals a buy point when a candlestick bar closes above the highs of the last two days, indicating a momentum burst. This feature is particularly inspired by Pradeep Bonde's 4% breakout strategy, highlighting the script's capability to identify range expansion and upward thrusts as key entry moments.
Automatic Stop-Levels: Utilizes ADR and ATR to set dynamic stop-losses, helping traders to manage risk effectively by adapting to market volatility.
Comprehensive Market Analysis : Through volume analysis, RSI, closing range, and other parameters, the script offers a deep dive into market dynamics, aiding in decision-making.
Who Should Use It:
This tool is ideal for swing traders and momentum traders focused on short to medium-term gains. Its robust set of features makes it suitable for those who prefer a data-driven approach to identify buying opportunities and manage risk.
Trading Style Compatibility:
The thrust indicator shines in momentum trading strategies, providing clear signals for entering trades ahead of potential price jumps. The integration of moving averages and volume analysis supports a variety of trading styles, including day trading and swing trading, by offering insights into trend strength and potential reversals.
How the Thrust Indicator Works:
When you see a thrust indicator (green upwards arrow below a candle) when the price is moving out of a consolidation or low volatility price-range , that's the buy point.
The thrust indicator is NOT indended as an indicator for long term positions or trend reversals, but for entries at a good price while capturing the first day of a potential 5-20% move in the coming 3-5 days.
The thrust indicator pinpoints moments when a stock shows a strong upward momentum, characterized by a candlestick closing above the highs of the preceding two days. This identifies a momentum burst, signaling an optimal entry point for traders looking to profit from a short-term price movement, typically ranging from 5-20% over the following 3-5 days. Such precision in identifying entry points is invaluable for traders focusing on capturing quick gains from market volatility.
"Top / Watch out" Indicator:
In addition to the script's core functionality, the "WatchOut" indicator plays a crucial role in identifying potential reversals after significant price movements. By analyzing conditions such as recent price increases compared to the average daily range, RSI levels, and the opening price distance from the EMA, the "WatchOut" indicator alerts traders to exercise caution. This feature is pivotal for those looking to avoid entering trades that might be on the verge of a pullback or reversal, enhancing the script's utility in managing risk.

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.
