ATR
Traded Range & True ATRBlack line = Trade Range from the last X periods.
Red Line = 61.8% of black line value.
Green bar = The current trade period range.
Default Value = 21 (21 days = I business month)
Generally speaking, a stock moves approximately the same value daily. Knowing the approximate value it likes to stay within calms the nerves when you see retracement of price occuring.
IE. Price average = 1.00 in a day. It move .75 within first hour then retraces in the opposite direction. There are still hours left in the trade day, so it is trading in its value range in order to not over extend itself.
This differs in calculation from the Wells Wilder version as it smooths out jumps and only examines the ranges between high and low.
A good rule of thumb is.
Stop Loss = Entry Price +/- (ATR * 1.5)
Take Profit = (1) Entry Price +/- ATR - 50% exit (Set Trailing Stop @ Entry Value), (2) Entry Price +/- ATR * 2 (50% of remaining).
Lancelot Band - ATR Reversal+Trending IndicatorThis is an indicator I created recently, with the mind of spotting where price might reverse and where the price is trending. You can see this as the primary indicator for your system, however, it is recommended you use this in conjunction with other confirmation indicators.
This script focus solely on ATR or Average True Range.
This indicator is the combination of the baseline from the Ichimoku cloud and the concept of the Keltner channel.
Baseline period = 14
ATR period = 14
ATR Mult = 1.5
For reversal
Long when price crossover Lower band & Stop loss at xLower band
Sell when price crossunder Upper band & Stop loss at xUpper band
For Trend Following
Long when price crossover xUpper band and Stop loss at Upper band
Short when price crossunder xLower band and Stop loss at Upper band
Again, you will need other indicators to help you to succeed in this system. This indicator will not generate the best exit for your position but will generate a good entry signal when you use it with both volume indicator and exit indicator.
Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid Pair.

Alert-QuarryLake Indicator Map - ATR Trend Following Strategy A lot of times I don't like my chart crowding with indicators, thus the reason for creating this script for my strategy QuarryLake.
This script also comes with alert.
Below is the explanation for QuarryLake
I have also updated the script in version 4.
This strategy consists of 3 indicators that I found works quite well together.
Keltner Channel, Waddah Attah Explosion, and Volatility Stop.
You can find WAE here
KC Period = 200
KCATR = 5
Vstop Period = 3
Vstop Mult = 1.5
Long when close > KC, close > Vstop, WAE trendUp
Short when close < KC, close < Vstop, WAE trendDown

CloudRest ATR based cloudThis is an indicator I have been working on for the past 2 years, developed specifically for cryptocurrency.
It is primarily a trend following indicator with great success and it performs the best in 4hrs to the weekly chart.
There are two components of this indicator.
The baseline from Ichimoku cloud and volatility stop .
baseline period = 26
volatility stop = 1.5ATR, 3
You can view this as the main component of a trend following system but you will need other confirmation indicators to confirm your entry.
Feel free to modify the script for your own system.

I will be posting more content in the future, stay tuned.

Moar MAsJust a bunch of things I like, to determine trend direction.
This script uses faster EMAs and slower SMAs. Also ATR for stops and trend reversals.
Average True Range Trailing Stops TFAverage True Range for trailing stops, can be set to any timeframe independently of currently-displayed timeframe
This indicator is derived from
but more customizable.
Many thanks to HPotter for the original version
ATR ChannelsATR Channels help you to identify where to place your stop-loss or trailing stop-loss based on price volatility, according to the Average True Range (ATR).
NNFX Baseline Script - Moving AveragesCredits to @Fractured
Adapted the "Many Moving Averages" script to VP's NNFX No Nonsense Forex method.
Includes:
- ATR bands and labels
- Price is > 1 ATR away from baseline indication
Without ATR Bands and bar colors
Available MAs
"ALMA", "EMA", "DEMA", "TEMA", "WMA", "VWMA", "SMA", "SMMA", "HMA", "Kijun", "McGinley"
Double EMA + ATR Trend FollowerThis indicator consists of a fast and slow EMA (default lengths are 50 and 9 periods) and an upper and lower ATR band. When combined, this combination gives traders an accurate picture of both trend strength and direction.
Users can modify the lengths of the fast and slow EMA , as well as the multipliers and length for the upper and lower ATR bands.
Maximum ATR BandsSlight modification on my previous script "ATR-Overlay"
This script plots the max value of the ATR in a given period.
Really straight forward, but has given me better stop-loss levels on trade entries.
Scott’s volatility histogramATR shows volatility. SMA of ATR measures the average volatility over a chosen look-back period (default 200).
Divergence of ATR and sma is represented as a histogram.
Low periods of volatility are below the zero line. High periods of volatility are above the zero line.
Average volatility over a 200 period look-back is the zero value.
Average True Range with EMAIncreasing and decreasing volatility in respect to ATR crossing an ema of ATR.
Ema acts as a proxy for look-back period as per Historical Volatility Percentile.
ATR is a proxy for Volatility as per standard deviation.
Divergence below ema means low volatility: the more divergence, the lower.
Divergence above the ema means high volatility.
GG ATR bands
ATR plotted above and below price with a multiplier. Defaults to 2x ATR. Makes it easier to use ATR for stop or take profit.
DEMA ATR Channels - New IndicatorA Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the DEMA.
Similar to my "ATR Channels" indicator, but using a DEMA instead of an EMA for the base. In addition, this indicator also plots a fast DEMA as well as a fill between the two. Fully customizable, you can toggle both DEMAs, the fill, and each set of ATR Channels.
ATR channel idea from Kerry Lovvorn as mentioned in Elder's "New Trading for a Living", page 93: "Kerry Lovvorn likes to plot 3 sets of lines around a moving average: at one, two, and three ATRs above and below an EMA . These can be used for setting up entry points and stops, as well as profit targets."
Multiple MA's & ATR-MultiplesPossibly useful to users that do not have a paid subscription. (multiple indicators in one script)
Exponential and simple moving average options with an option for a time frame other than current chart time frame combined with multiples of the average true range plotted as a chart overlay.
ATR ChannelsAn Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the EMA. Fully customizable, you can toggle the EMA and ATR set visibility, line colors, etc.
