Three EMA Scalp Signals by kmderhamThis script looks for a set up condition where 5 consecutive candles have broken away from the fast EMA (set to 8 by default) followed by a "trigger" candle that crosses back over the fast EMA but not the medium EMA (set to 13 by default). It then determines the entry point based on the bar high or low (not tail or wick) depending on direction of the trend. Once the entry point is crossed, we can enter the position. Win or loss is determined whether the lower or upper levels are crossed (as per trend). After the position is won or lost and if the entry level is re-crossed before a new set up condition is found then a new entry signal is given.
Please note that this should really be used in conjunction with a higher timeframe "Anchor" chart with a fast and a slow EMA so setups and positions should should correspond to the trend of the higher timeframe chart. This was designed for a 5 minute timeframe and a 60 minute anchor chart.

Milan OscillatorBill Williams Breakout Setup
I have referred to the man multiple times whether tweeting about him or writing a blog post. Now I want to relearn how breakout trading works, again. A while ago, my friend invited a bunch of us into a Zoom conference sharing us how his setup works for him. He reintroduced me to Bill Williams' indicators which looked like below.
The rules are simple:
Prices are moving away from Alligator, open and closed above the first time.
AC is twice consecutively at par with the direction.
AO is twice consecutively at par with the direction.
Entry on the third candle to be sure, or the second if you're willing to risk it.
The chart above is an example from the 4 hourly time-frame. Before going into any entry, to get a macro perspective, should check on these time-frames first:
Weekly
3 Days
Daily
Bonus points if monthly time-frame is also at par with the bias. Here are the charts for the larger time-frame.
It's been profitable trading with the above setup but then I have an itch to scratch. I wanted to have just a single oscillator instead of two to look at. It will enable me to make decisions faster and can use my brain juice to think about something else.
So I combined the two to create a new oscillator. I call it the `Milan Oscillator` in honor of my friend Patris who reintroduced me to Bill Williams yet again. Patris' favorite team is AC Milan, here's to you bro 🍺
Here are the same charts above with Milan Oscillator.
The rules are a bit different than the rules above:
No entry when the oscillator is gray, this means AC and AO are disagreeing.
Prices are moving away from Alligator, open and closed above the first time.
Oscillator is twice consecutively at par with the direction.
Entry on the third candle to be sure, or the second if you're willing to risk it.
On lower volume moves, prices will retest alligator, can be an entry if the retest fails.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
InariN simpleJapanese legendary day trader's indicator "InariN" .
"N jijii " introduced this original indicator at his ebook and I made it simple for my own use .
This is not original type but I picked up essential elements to practice his idea .
I guess he is real forex day trader and "InariN" is similar to "Ichimoku" .
I have used this at EUR/USD 5 minutes chart for several months and I get basis for judgement .
This is not a magical tool but you can make good reference point to use this .
I think " I " means first swing , " nari " is " become " and " = " , and " N " is third swing .
For example , look at chart , AB is first swing ,BC is second and CD is third .
In many cases ,AB = CD and it called measured move .
"InariN" provide reference point to decide always-in ,entry point , entry timing and exit point.
1.
"InariN" is a trendfollowing tool , you can judge bull or bear by a few lines .
25 ema represent short time frame , 49 (about 4 hour bar at 5 minutes chart ) is middle time frame and 217 (about 18 hour at 5 minutes chart )is long time frame (preset periods is "N jijii" style . please use favorite time frame ).
For example , when current price is above 25ema ,49ema and 217 High-low band"s middle line , market is strong bull .
So you can do multi time frame analyze .
Hint ; you also have to check daily chart's trend .
2.
Every line provided by "InariN" tends to become bull-bear battle point , so you can easily check where is support and resistance line .
Hint ; Especially 25ema is important to pullback entry in trend and 217 high-low line is important to do fade trade in range and reversal .
You have to wait entry until touch and stick lines and follow winner (to avoid failed breakout check shrinking bar) .
3.
You can also use lines to except exit point because high-low band is symmetry .
Hint ; I recommend use custom fibonacci retracement tool to measure Risk-Reward Ratio and exit point .
I customized fibo tool to be symmetry .
Entry point ,exit point and loss cut point became symmetry and you can add other symmetry points more .
For example , look at chart , blue lines is fibo tool and you can measure exit point .
Have fun!!
RVC-Trade-With-Pivot-LevelsHow to Use PIVOT Levels for Trading
Always remember ->: *Trade with trend*
About script:
1. Daily and Weekly close above Pivot Level.
-- Sentiment is highly positive. Pivot Level acts as strong support.
2. Daily Close above Pivot and Weekly Close Below Pivot
-- Sentiment is positive.Weekly Pivot Level may act as strong resistance.
3. Daily close below Pivot and weekly close above Pivot
-- Sentiment is negative but weekly Pivot Level can acts as strong support.
4. Daily and Weekly Close below Pivot Level
-- Sentiment is highly Negative. Pivot Level acts as strong resistance.
BUY/SELL -- ENTRY
BUY ABOVE 23.6% UPWARD
IF Trend is positive and price cross and sustains above 23.6%(R1) upside, then it will be entry from BUY perspective.
If R1 is entry, R2/R3/R4/R5 ... will be targets.
SELL Below 23.6% Downward
IF Trend is negative and price cross and sustains below 23.6%(S1) downside, then it will be entry from SELL perspective.
If S1 is Sell side entry, S2/S3/S4/S5 will be targets.
Before taking ENTRY on BUY or SELL Side, please know your risk levels, Stop Loss and trade EXECUTION process.

//
// Draw Lines:
// BB Upper : is the Target (Black line)
// BB EMA : is the initial Stop (Black line)
// BuyLine : EMA20 + 1/4 of (Target-Stop), which matches risk:/reward=1:3 naturally
// Prepare Zone : between EMA and BuyLine
// buyPrice : Blue dot line only showing when has long position, Which shows entry price.
// StopPrice : Black dot line only showing when has long position, Which shows updated stop price.
//
// Add SMA(50) to filter the trend. Price >= SMA, allow to long
//
// What (Condition): in BB uptrend band
// When (Price action): Price cross over BuyLine;
// How (Trading Plan): Buy at BuyLine;
// Initial Stop is EMA;
// Initial Target is BB Upper Line;
//
// FollowUp: if price moves up first, and the EMA is higher than Entry point, Use EMA as new stop. At least "make even" in this trade;
//
// Exit: 1. Initial stop -- "Stop" when down first, close below stop price.
// 2. Target reached -- "TR" when up quickly, Target reached
// 3. make even -- "ME" when small up and down, Exit at entry Price
// 4. Small Winner -- "SM" when EMA above Entry price, Exit when close below EMA, and higher than entry Price
//
// --------------
// Because there are too many flags in up trend study already, I will create a down trend script separately.
// Uptrend study is good for SPY, QQQ, and strong stocks.
// Downtrend Study is good for weak ETF, stock, and (-2x, -3x) ETFs, such as FAZ, UVXY, USO, XOP, AAL, CCL
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Back test Weekly and daily chart for SPY, QQQ
// If it will be a big Gap down or a big down move, stop at close price could be a big loss; But this way could avoid may noise, to stay in a trending position longer.
// When buy in trending move, the position could be hold for a big range.
// The best samples are SPY and QQQ daily chart.
//
// Better to use another way to verify the long term up trend first.
// For single stock, it is better shows more relative strength than SPY.
Breakout Trend Follower StrategyThis strategy goes long when highs are broken and uses a trailing stop that follows swing lows. User can configure a back test date range and choose whether or not to only take trades above a selected moving average.
The desire for me to make this script was to try to capture those extreme breakouts that can occur after a consolidation/equilibrium pattern. This catches those using stop-buys as the entry. Out of all the scripts I have made thus far, this one is the one that has the best results. Time frames might vary due to commission structures, etc. I currently use this strategy on stocks on the 30-min time frame and crypto (with Coinbase's high fees) on the 2-hr time frame.
Buy/Sell IndicatorBased on logic from many top contributors here, the script utilizes LazyBear's WaveTrend Oscillator Indicator along with custom code to plot a few key components for daily trading;
Boundaries for entry and exit points which are based on a 6-day trend in OPEN/HIGH and OPEN/LOW prices.
Daily HIGH and LOW points to establish a good view of stock's movements
Entry and exit points with confidence levels. These can be treated as entry points for short to medium term investments
Entry points come in the colours of White and Lime, where white is slightly confident and lime is extremely confident
Exit points come in the colours of Maroon, and Red, where maroon is slightly confident and red is extremely confident
Each Entry and Exit point also comes without text, or with a M or H above it, where M indicates medium confidence on the point and an O indicates overconfidence.
Use Case:
The best possible use case is to enter a trade on a LIME point with O text, this means that is an overconfident entry point.
The trade should be exited on a RED point with O text, this means that is an overconfident exit point.
But you can do with the indicators as you please.
In addition to LazyBear's code, the following existing models and indicators are taken into account:
RSI of closing price over a period of 25
EMA of RSI
MACD histogram relative open/closePrelude
This script makes it easy to capture MACD Histogram open/close for automated trading.
There seems to be no "magic" value for MACD Histogram that always works as a cut-off for trade entry/exit, because of the variation in market price over time.
The idea behind this script is to replicate the view of the MACD graph we (humans) see on the screen, in mathematics, so the computer can approximately detect when the curve is opening/closing.
Math
The maths for this is composed of 2 sections -
1. Entry -
i. To trigger entry, we normalize the Histogram value by first determining the lowest and highest values on the MACD curves (MACD, Signal & Hist).
ii. The lowest and highest values are taken over the "Frame of reference" which is a hyperparameter.
iii. Once the frame of reference is determined, the entry cutoff param can be defined with respect to the values from (i) (10% by default)
2. Exit
To trigger an exit, a trader searches for the point where the Histogram starts to drop "steeply".
To convert the notion of "steep" into mathematics -
i. Take the max histogram value reached since last MACD curve flip
ii. Define the cutoff with reference to the value from (i) (30% by default)
Plots
Gray - Dead region
Blue - Histogram opening
Red - Histogram is closing
Notes
A good value for the frame of reference can be estimated by looking at the timescale of the graph you generally work with during manual trading.
For me, that turned out to be ~2.5 hours. (as shown in the above graph)
For a 3-minute ticker, frame of reference = 2.5 * 60 / 3 = 50
Which is the default given in this script.
Ultimately, it is up to you to do grid search and find these hyperparams for the stock and ticker size you're working with.
Also, this script only serves the purpose of detecting the Histogram curve opening/closing.
You may want to add further checks to perform proper trading using MACD.
Moving Averages Convergence (Agulhada do Didi)The script is based on a strategy developed by Odir “Didi” Aguiar called “Agulhada do Didi”.
It consists in the use of 3 moving averages:
SMA 3
SMA 8
SMA 21
Strategy:
When the averages come together, preferably they pass through a candle, there is a signal. The crossing of the short average (3) with the long average (21) provides us with a confirma-tion of the entry.
Buy:
The average of 3 periods comes out on top, 8 goes in the middle and 21 goes down.
Sell:
Average of 21 periods comes out on top, 8 in the middle and 3 down.
Double Relative Strength IndexDouble RSI plotted at 14 and 2 lengths simultaneously, and with different oversold/overbought limits.
RSI 14 is great for detecting divergence/convergence between the price and RSI action, whilst RSI 2 add timing accuracy in trade entry.
Gap driven intraday trade (better in 15 Min chart)// Based on yesterday's High, Low, today's open, and Bollinger Band (20) in current minute chart,
// Defined intraday Trading opportunity: Stop, Entry, T0, Target (S.E.T.T)
// Back test in 60, 30, 15, 5 Min charts with SPY, QQQ, XOP, AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, UAL
// In 60 and 30 min chart, the stop and target are too big. 5 min is too small.
// 15 min Chart is the best time frame for this strategy;
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// There will be Four lines in this study:
// 1. Entry Line,
// 1.1 Green Color line to Buy, If today's open price above Yesterday's High, and current price below BB upper line.
// 1.2 Red Color line to Short, if today's open price below Yesterday's Low, and current above BB Lower line.
//
// 2. Black line to show initial stop, one ATR in current min chart;
//
// 3. Blue Line (T0) to show where trader can move stop to make even, one ATR in current min chart;
//
// 4. Orange Line to show initial target, Three ATR in current min chart;
//
// Trading opportunity:
// If Entry line is green color, Set stop buy order at today's Open;
// Whenever price is below the green line, Prepare to buy;

//
// Initial Stop: One ATR in min chart;
// Initial T0: One ATR in min chart;

// Initial RRR: Reward Risk Ratio = 3:1;
//
// Maintain: Once the position moves to T0, Move stop to "Make even + Lunch (such as, Entry + $0.10)";
// Allow to move target bigger, such as, next demand/supply zone;
// When near target or demand/supply zone or near Market close, move stop tightly;
//
// Close position: Limit order filled, or near Market Close, or trendline break;
//
// Key Step: Move stop to "Make even" after T0, Do not turn winner to loser;
// Willing to "in and out" many times in one day, and trade the same direction, same price again and again.
//
// Basic trading platform requests:
// To use this strategy, user needs to:
// 1. Scan Stocks Before market open:
// Prepare a watch list for top 10 ETF and Top 90 stocks which are most actively traded.
// Stock might be limited by price range, Beta, optionable, ...
// Before market open, Run a scan for these stocks, find which has GAP and inside BB;
// create watch list for that day.
//
// 2. Attach OSO and OCO orders:
// User needs to Send Entry, Stop (loss), and limit (target) orders at one time;
// Order Send order ( OSO ): Entry order sends Stop order and limit order;
// Order Cancel order ( OCO ): Stop order and limit order, when one is filled, it will cancel the other instantly;
RSI buy opportunityRSI buy opportunity is an indicator to look for the best entries on weekly charts.
It depends on each stock and the values should change to optimize the entry.
Buy when green triangle shows up.
Never buy when red signal appears.
Donchian TrendHello All,
I think all of you knows Donchian Channels . so I am not going to write about it.
With this indicator I tried to create Trend Lines by using Donchian Channel upper/lower bands. I tried add possible entry levels as well.
How it works ?
- it calculates main trend direction by using the length that is user-defined. so you can change it as you wish
- then it calculates trend direction for 9 lower lengths. if you set the length = 20 then the lengths are 19, 18,...11
- and it checks if the trend directions that came from lower lengths is same or not with main trend direction.
- it changes the trendline color. lighter trend line means stonger trend, darker trend lines means entry points or possible trend reversal.
- it puts entry points by using trend directions that were created by using lower lengths. it gets entry points if high/low touches main trend line as well.
Warning: Arrows are entry points but it may also represents trend reversal. So you should use stoploss line if you decide to take buy/sell positions.
P.S. I didn't backtest it, it's non-repainting, it should be used educational purposes only . I believe it can be improved, so I am open for new ideas to improve it ;)
Enjoy!
2% StopThis indicator is simply based on the 2% rule, you must insert the entry point (the price at what you bought) by clicking the gear on the top left.
If you see the chart different is becouse the default entry is set to 1 and but it fixes if you set the proper entry price.
a little bit about the 2% rule :
Following the 2% Rule will keep any loss in your account to a rela-
tively small, livable size.
The 2% Rule prohibits you from risking more than 2% of your account
equity on any single trade.
This Rule does
not limit your position size—it only limits your risk.
Of course, if you are planning to hold your position down to zero,
then its maximum size would have to be capped at 2%. On the
other hand, if you do a much more sensible thing and use a stop, your
risk per share will decrease, and your permitted size will increase.
The distance from your entry price to the stop level defines your
maximum dollar risk per coin.
The 2% Rule defines your maximum risk for the entire position.
Knowing the risk per share and the total permitted risk makes it
easy to calculate the maximum number of coins /shares you may trade.
Credit about this idea goes to Dr Elder Alexander.
BEST ATR Stop Multiple StrategyHello traders
Here we go again.... with another strategy snippet.
Reminder: it's an alternative of this Trailing Stop strategy script
Entry logic
The entry is based on a Simple Moving Averages (SMA) cross.
This part doesn't matter here - as I wanted to focus on the ATR multiple stop loss component.
ATR STOP
This strategy snippet uses an entry stop loss defined based on a multiple of the average true range value.
The soure code detects ATR value at entry price, applies the multiplier and will set a static (= non trailing) stop-loss to each position
A pinescript v4 label will appear for each new signal displaying the ATR*multiplier value at signal time
All the BEST
Dave
volume high standard deviation stystemOn the basis of moving average, add moving average and standard deviation line of volume to filter the entry and exit time.
Do not enter trades on high volume and price in trend direction.
Exit on high volume and price in profitable direction.
Option 0 = No entry or exit filter
Option 1 = Entry filter only
Option 2 = Exit filter only
Option 3 = Both entry and exit filters
inwCoin Average Position Price Calculator - For CryptocurrencyEver wonder what is my average entry ?
No need to use excel.
Just use this simple indicator to calculate average entry of your multiple positions.
How to use
--------------
1) Just input your entries into each box. ( Buy price + buy amount )
2) If you don't want to use any input, just uncheck the checkbox.
How to read value
----------------------
- This indicator will calculate the asset amount you got when you purchase it, by asset amount = entry amount / entry price ( Eg. buy BTC at 10,000$ per BTC with 1,000 USD = 1000/10000 = 0.1 BTC )
- It will calculate your current value of the asset you holding and compare it with all of the money you already invested. Also the profit/loss.
- It will show the average entry price with the green line on the chart and in the textbox.
PivotPoints with Momentum confirmation by PeterOWho wouldn't like to be able to tell when the market actually reverses instead of just faking it? Every trader who has tried pivothigh/pivotlow functions for that, surely bumped into so many meaningless reversal signals, that probably got discouraged with this concept entirely.
Yet, pivot points are very important. Only they need to be confirmed at least a little bit (you'll never know for sure, you understand that right?)
This script enhances pivot-points mechanism with by confirming potential pivot point with actual reversal in momentum. If momentum reversal is also noticed in synch with the pivothigh/pivotlow, then you've got yourself a reversal - marked on the chart with red or green triangle. You can visually compare where those triangles are marked as compared to those small black ones, meaning the standard pivothigh(high,1,1)/pivotlow(low,1,1). Check yourself how many times this method would save us from pre-mature entry. On average 2/3 pivot points are filtered out.
This is a non-delayed confirmation - there is no waiting for another candle to close, just looking to another indicator for a match.Trader needs to take a decision immediately because if he hesitates, he will be late for sure. Also sometimes this script produces signal even before a full pivot-point is formed, as pin-bar analysis is also included here.
What this script IS NOT:
- a complete trading map. Don't take trade on each green or red triangle. You still need to do your homework on market direction, trend, phase, wave, etc. But at least you have the "trigger" part done.
- these pivot points are still not "guaranteed". You never know the future even as close as the very next candle, so the market can continue its trend right after it produces reversal signal. The aim of this indicator was only to filter out those potential pivot points, which didn't really look like reversals.
If you think this method could be improved somehow or would like to share your thoughts or approach, don't hesitate to reach out to me or write down in comments.
P.S. Credit goes to UCSGEARS for his Top&Bottom candle script. Amazing work. I used the momentum calculation from there.
Trend-Following Combo-SuperTrend, EMA, Aroon, DMI, Laguerre RSIThis is a trend-following indicator which condenses two SuperTrend indicators -- one based on analysis over a shorter period of time (1.5, 7), and one based on analysis over a longer period of time (1.65, 100) -- into a single indicator which appears on your chart only when both the shorter- and longer-term analysis indicates a "SuperTrend" in the same direction.
Additionally, potential trade entry indicators are displayed in the form of up and down arrows when (by default) three of the following five indicators suggest that the market is trending in the same direction as both the shorter- and longer-term SuperTrend indicators:
EMA Crossover (8, 15)
Aroon Indicator (8)
Aroon Oscillator (8)
Directional Movement Index (DI +/-) (8)
Laguerre RSI (13)
You may update the parameters of any of the indicators to match your own preferences.
Additionally, you may also adjust the "Threshold" of indicators that must be in agreement with the SuperTrend to show a potential trade entry arrow. Bear in mind that if you set the Indicator Threshold too low, you will see more frequent trade entry arrows, many of which will not be profitable if taken. Similarly, set this value too high, and you will see fewer trade entry arrows that may not appear until after most of the "juice" in the trend has evaporated. Ideal values for the threshold seem to be between 2-4, depending on the symbol you are trading.
The following image shows all of the indicators referenced above on a 5-minute chart of the SPY during a single trading day:
And, here is the same period of time showing only the Trend-Following Combo indicator with default settings:
This indicator would not have been possible save for work contributed by the following:

Super Trend Daily 2.0 Alerts BFThis is an alerts script for my Super Trend 2.0 indicator . It is intended as a companion script so you can backtest using the Strategy script and generate alerts using this Study script.
This Study script has the same default settings as the Strategy script and its only purpose is to provide alerts for the long and short signals the Strategy generates. Obviously, if you want to generate alerts based on a Strategy backtest, please ensure the settings are the same in the Study as in the Strategy.
For illustration, I have plotted arrows on the chart for long and short signals, and also colored the background to show when the rate of change function determines a choppy/sideways market.
ALERTS
There are 2 alerts set up:
Long Entry
Short Entry
ILLUSTRATION
Green arrow = Long Entry
Red arrow = Short Entry
White background = No short trades
Aqua background = No long trades
EXAMPLE USE CASE
1. Open a Bitcoin/USD chart on 1D timeframe.
2. Open this script and the Super Trend 2.0 indicator script.
3. Backtest with the Strategy Backtester and change the settings if you like until you get a desirable outcome for your own purposes.
4. Once you are happy with the backtest, change the settings in the Alerts script (this one) so they match the Strategy settings.
5. Set up the alerts according to your preferences.
Customizable MACD (how to detect a strong convergence)Helloooo traders
I wondered once if a MACD was based on an EMA/EMA/SMA or SMA/SMA/EMA (or WHATEVA/WHATEVA/WHATEVA).
Seems they're so many alternatives out there.
I decided to empower my audience more by choosing the type of moving averages you want for your MACD.
More options doesn't always mean better performance - but who knows - some might find a config that they like with it for their favorite asset/timeframe.
I added also a multi-timeframe component because I'm a nice guy ^^
Convergence is my BEST friend
An oscillator (like MACD) is to measure how strong a momentum is - generally, traders use those indicators to confirm a trend.
So understand that a MACD (or any other indicator not based on convergence ) won't likely be sufficient for doing great on the market.
Combined with your favorite indicator, however, you may get great results.
My indicators fav cocktail is mixing :
1) an oscillator (momentum confirmation)
2) a trendline/key level break (momentum confirmation)
3) adding-up on a different trading method but still converging with the first entry.
The reason I'm deep with convergence detection is because I'm obsessed with removing those fakeout signals. You know which ones I'm talking about :)
Those trades when the market goes sideways but our capital goes South (pun 100% intended) - 2 days later, the price hasn't changed much but some lost some capital due to fees, being overexposed, buying the top/selling the bottom of a range they didn't identify.
It's publicly known that ranges are the worst traders' enemy. It's boring, not fun, and .... end up moving in the direction we expected when we go to sleep or outside.
NO ONE/BROKER/EX-GF is tracking your computer - I checked also for mine as it happened for me way too often in the past.
I surely preferred blaming a few external unknown conditions than improving my TA back in the days #bad #dave
But my backtest sir...
Our backtests show what they're being told to show . A backtest without a stop-loss/hard exit logic will show incredible results.
Then trying that backtest with live trading is like in the Matrix movie - discovering the real world is tough and we must choose between the blue pill (learning how to evaluate properly risk/opportunity caught) and the red pill (increasing the position sizing, not setting a stop loss, holding the positions hoping for the best)
Last few words
Convergences aren't invented because it's cool to mix indicators with others. (it is actually and even fun)
They're created to remove most of the fakeouts . For those that can't be removed - a strong risk management would cut most of the remaining potential big losses.
No system works 100% of the time - so a convergence system needs a back-up plan in case the converged signal is wrong (could be stop-loss, hard exit, reducing position sizing, ...)
Wishing you the BEST and happy beginning of your week

Center of Gravity BF 🚀Thanks to HPotter for the code I based this strategy on.
Center of Gravity calculation is based here on a linear regression function using the least squares method.
We use this to calculate a channel consisting of 2 lines, green and red on the chart
This strategy employs a dynamic stop loss function that measures stop loss placement based on recent ATR.
How signals are generated:
Price closes above green line = Go Long
Price closes below red line = Go Short
Yellow dotted line = stop loss based on long entry
Orange dotted line = stop loss based on short entry
INSTRUCTIONS
Green background = Go Long, put your stop loss at the yellow dotted line
Red background = Go Short, put your stop loss at the orange dotted line
NB: The stop losses printed on the chart are calculated from the point of entry on a trade, if you make a different entry to what is indicated, the corresponding stop loss will be different to what the indicator displays.
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).
