Risk ModuleRisk Module
This indicator provides a visual reference to determine position sizing and approximate stop placement. It is designed to support trade planning by calculating equalized risk per trade based on a stop distance derived from volatility. The tool offers supportive reference points that allow for quick evaluation of risk and position size consistency across varying markets.
Equalized Risk Per Trade
The indicator calculates the number of shares that can be traded to maintain consistent monetary risk. The formula is based on the distance between the current price and the visual stop reference, adjusting the position size proportionally.
Position Size = Dollar Risk / (Entry Price – Stop Price)
The risk is calculated as a percentage of account size; both of which can be set in the indicator’s settings tab. This creates a consistent risk exposure across trades regardless of volatility or structural stop distance.
Stop Placement Reference
The visual stop reference is derived from the Average True Range (ATR), providing a volatility-based anchor. The default value is set to 2 × ATR, but this can be customized.
Price Model: Uses the current price ± ATR × multiplier. This model reacts to price movement and is set as the default option.
EMA Model: Uses the 20-period EMA ± ATR × multiplier. This model is less reactive and can be an option when used in combination with an envelope indicator.
Chart Elements
Stop Levels: Plotted above and below either the current price or EMA, depending on the selected model. These serve as visual reference points for stop placement; the lower level a sell stop for long trades, the upper level a buy stop for short trades.
Information Table: Displays the number of shares to trade, stop level and percentage risk. A compact mode is available to reduce the table to essential information (H/L and Shares).
Settings Overview
Stop Model: Choose between “Price” or “EMA” stop calculation logic.
ATR Multiplier: Change the distance between price/EMA and the stop reference.
Account Size / Risk %: These risk parameters are used to calculate dollar risk per trade.
Visible Bars: Number of recent bars to show stop markers on.
Compact Mode: Minimal table view for reduced chart footprint.
Table Position / Size: Controls table placement and scale on the chart.

Position Size CalculatorPosition Size Calculator - User Guide
A simple tool to calculate optimal position size based on your risk preferences, visualize trade levels, and automatically determine trade direction.
Introduction
The Position Size Calculator is a TradingView indicator designed to help traders calculate the optimal position size for their trades based on account size and risk tolerance. This tool visually represents entry, stop loss, and take profit levels while automatically calculating the appropriate position size to maintain consistent risk management.
Getting Started
Setting Up Your Account Parameters
Setting Price Levels
Understanding the Visual Elements
Adjusting Your Trade on the Chart
Reading the Information Panel
1. Getting Started
After adding the indicator to your chart, you'll see three horizontal lines representing:
Yellow line: Entry price
Green line: Take profit price
Red line: Stop loss price
The indicator automatically detects whether you're planning a Long or Short trade based on the position of your take profit relative to your entry.
2. Setting Up Your Account Parameters
In the "Position Calculator" settings group:
Account Size : Enter your total account balance
Account Currency : Set your account currency (USD, EUR, etc.)
Risk (%) : Enter the percentage of your account you're willing to risk per trade (e.g., 2%)
Instrument Type : Select your trading instrument (Forex, Futures, Stocks, or Crypto)
Value per 0.01 lot per tick : Enter the value of 0.01 lots per tick (for most Forex pairs, this is $1 per pip for 0.01 lot)
Minimum Lot Size : Set the minimum lot size allowed by your broker (usually 0.01 for Forex)
3. Setting Price Levels
In the "Price Levels" section:
Entry Price : The price at which you plan to enter the trade
Stop Loss Price : Where you'll exit if the trade goes against you
Take Profit Price : Your target price where you'll take profits
If you set Entry Price to 0, it will default to the current price. If Stop Loss or Take Profit are set to 0, they'll default to 5% below or above entry price respectively.
4. Understanding the Visual Elements
Yellow line : Your entry price
Green line : Your take profit level
Red line : Your stop loss level
Green zone : The profit zone (between entry and take profit)
Red zone : The loss zone (between entry and stop loss)
Information panel : Shows all calculations and trade details
5. Adjusting Your Trade on the Chart
The beauty of this tool is its interactivity:
You can drag any of the lines directly on the chart to adjust entry, stop loss, or take profit
If you drag the take profit above the entry , the indicator automatically sets up for a Long trade
If you drag the take profit below the entry , it automatically configures for a Short trade
All calculations and visuals update in real-time as you adjust the lines
This means you can quickly test different scenarios and see how they affect your position size and potential profit/loss.
6. Reading the Information Panel
The information panel displays:
Account details : Your account size and currency
Risk information : Your percentage risk and the equivalent monetary amount
Position Size : The optimal lot size calculated based on your risk parameters
Price levels : Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit with distances in ticks
Risk/Reward ratio : Shown as 1:X (where X is the reward relative to 1 unit of risk)
Potential outcomes : The exact amount you stand to gain or lose on this trade
Trade direction : Whether this is a Long or Short trade
Visual Settings
You can customize the appearance in the "Visual" settings group:
Adjust colors for profit and loss zones
Change the transparency of colored zones
Toggle the filling of spaces between lines
Adjust how far the lines extend beyond the last candle
Practical Tips
Always double-check your "Value per 0.01 lot per tick" setting for the specific instrument you're trading
For Forex major pairs, the standard is usually $1 per pip for 0.01 lots
For other instruments, consult your broker's specifications
The indicator works best when you place your stop loss at a logical market level (support/resistance, swing high/low) rather than a fixed percentage
Final Thoughts
This Position Size Calculator helps remove emotion from your trading by objectively calculating your position size based on your predefined risk parameters. It ensures that you maintain consistent risk across all your trades, regardless of the stop loss distance, which is a key component of successful risk management.
Remember: The most important goal in trading is capital preservation. This tool helps you ensure that each trade risks only what you've decided is acceptable for your trading strategy.
Strong Trend Bars (ATR-based)This is a ChatGPT pinescript meant as an indicator for detecting strength in the market. The primary function I use it for is to decide which bars to trail a stop loss beneath.
💥 Explanation of adjustable inputs:
Bull Close Threshold (default 0.6):
If set to 0.6, bull bars must close above 60% of bar height → low + 0.6 * barHeight
Bear Close Threshold (default 0.6):
If set to 0.6, bear bars must close below 40% of bar height → high - 0.6 * barHeight
This lets you experiment with tighter or looser filters. For example:
0.7 → only bars closing near the extremes will light up
0.5 → about midpoint
0.8 → very demanding, “almost full body” bars
Breakout Patterns Detector: Triangle & Wedge [Splirus]This indicator identifies Breakout Patterns such as Ascending Triangles , Descending Triangles , Symmetric Triangles , Ascending Wedges , and Descending Wedges , using candlestick charts and Trendlines. It provides visual cues, stop-loss (SL), and take-profit (TP) levels, alongside a detailed dashboard to evaluate performance. The indicator supports two alert modes: Manual Mode for trader notifications and Bot Mode for automated trading signals.
To achieve optimal results, users are encouraged to experiment with indicator parameters and analyze the dashboard summary to find the perfect configuration for each timeframe, pair, and market condition.
Pattern Identification
The indicator detects the following breakout patterns based on pivot highs and lows:
Ascending Triangle : Flat upper trendline, rising lower trendline.
Descending Triangle : Flat lower trendline, declining upper trendline.
Symmetric Triangle : Converging trendlines with similar slopes (within a user-defined threshold).
Ascending Wedge : Both trendlines slope upward, converging.
Descending Wedge : Both trendlines slope downward, converging.
Patterns are identified using configurable left and right bars for small and big patterns, with slope thresholds normalized by ATR. A trend confirmation filter ensures breakouts align with market direction, and users can adjust breakout confirmation bars to validate signals.
The goal is to fine-tune these settings to suit specific timeframes and pairs, as each combination may require a unique setup for optimal performance.
Stop-Loss Calculation
Stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically based on pattern type and breakout direction:
Symmetric Triangle : SL is set at the first pivot of the opposite trendline, adjusted by a buffer percentage.
Ascending/Descending Triangle : SL is placed at the breakout trendline’s price, plus the buffer.
Ascending/Descending Wedge : SL is set at the second pivot of the opposite trendline, adjusted by the buffer.
The indicator calculates leverage based on a user-defined risk tolerance percentage. Users should adjust the SL buffer and risk tolerance to balance risk and reward, monitoring the dashboard to assess how these settings impact performance across different timeframes and pairs.
Take-Profit Calculation
Three take-profit levels ( TP1 , TP2 , TP3 ) are calculated using pattern height and user-defined multipliers:
For Ascending/Descending Triangles, height is the difference between the max and min prices within the pattern.
For Symmetric Triangles and Wedges, height is the vertical distance between trendlines at the pattern’s start.
TP levels are set as:
TP1 = Breakout price ± (Height × TP1 Multiplier).
TP2 = Breakout price ± (Height × TP2 Multiplier).
TP3 = Breakout price ± (Height × TP3 Multiplier, with a 1.5x adjustment for Wedges).
Experiment with TP multipliers to optimize the risk-reward ratio, using the dashboard to evaluate TP hit rates and overall profitability for each configuration.

Ascending/Descending Wedge:
Ascending/Descending Triangles:
Finding the Perfect Configuration
The indicator’s dashboard provides a comprehensive summary of performance metrics, including total trades, TP1/TP2/TP3 hits, SL hits, profit/loss percentages, and win rates for bullish, bearish, and combined trades. These metrics are crucial for identifying the ideal parameter settings:
Timeframe and Pair Variability : Each timeframe (e.g., 15m, 30min, 1H, 4H, Daily) and pair (e.g., BTC/USD, EUR/USD) behaves differently. Adjust parameters like left/right bars, minimum pattern length, and breakout confirmation bars to match the volatility and trend characteristics of the chosen pair and timeframe.
Parameter Tuning : Modify slope thresholds, trend confirmation filters, and bars inside the pattern to filter out false breakouts. For example, a higher breakout confirmation bar setting may reduce signals but increase reliability on longer timeframes.
Dashboard Analysis : Focus on the dashboard’s win rate, profit/loss ratio, and TP/SL hit frequencies. A “Perfect” win rate (>66%) or high TP hit rate indicates a strong configuration. If the SL hit rate is high, consider tightening the trend confirmation filter or increasing the SL buffer.
Iterative Testing : Test different combinations of settings (e.g., small vs. big patterns, aggressive vs. conservative breakout confirmation) and compare dashboard results over time. The goal is to find a balance where the indicator consistently delivers high win rates and profitability for your specific trading setup.
Alert Modes
The indicator supports two alert modes to suit different trading styles:
Manual Mode : Generates alerts for breakouts with entry price, SL, TP1/TP2/TP3, and leverage, tailored for Crypto or Forex markets. Use this mode to manually evaluate signals while refining configurations.
Bot Mode : Sends automated trading signals. To avoid conflicts, Bot Mode ensures no short position alert is triggered while a long position is active, and vice versa. This mode is ideal once you’ve identified an optimal configuration via the dashboard.
Additional Features
Historical Patterns : Displays past trendlines with customizable transparency and extension, helping users analyze how patterns performed under different settings.
Customizable Settings : Adjust pattern size, breakout confirmation, trend filters, and visual preferences (colors, dashboard location) to match your trading style.
Market Compatibility : Supports Crypto and Forex markets across all timeframes, but requires careful tuning for each market type.
Usage Notes
Start with default settings and monitor the dashboard to establish a baseline performance for your chosen timeframe and pair.
Gradually adjust one parameter at a time (e.g., left/right bars, TP multipliers) and compare dashboard results to identify improvements.
Use historical pattern analysis to understand how past breakouts performed under different configurations, guiding your optimization process.
Once a high win rate and profitability are achieved, consider automating trades with Bot Mode for consistent execution.

Stop/Take BoundsThe Stop/Take Bounds indicator is tool for setting dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on percentage distance from the price. Unlike traditional ATR-based methods, this indicator allows traders to set stop levels as a fixed percentage of the price and define the take-profit multiple.
- Stop-loss distanceis determined as a percentage of the current price (e.g., 1% means the stop-loss is always 1% away from the price).
- Take-profit distance is calculated by multiplying the stop-loss distance by a user-defined multiplier (e.g., a multiplier of 2 places the take-profit level twice as far as the stop-loss).
- The indicator plots red lines for stop-loss levels and green lines for take-profit levels, making it easy to visualize risk-to-reward scenarios.
How to Use
1. Set Stop-Loss Distance (%) – Define how far the stop-loss should be from the price.
2. Set Take-Profit Multiplier – Choose how many times larger the take-profit should be compared to the stop-loss.
3. Apply to Long and Short Trades – The indicator automatically plots levels for both long and short positions.
4. Use in Manual or Algorithmic Trading – Ideal for discretionary traders as well as for integration into algorithmic strategies.
Use Cases
- Risk Management – Helps maintain disciplined risk-to-reward ratios.
- Strategy Development – Can be used in the creation of algorithmic trading systems.
- Trailing Stop Simulation – Can act as a trailing stop mechanism when used dynamically.
This indicator is a great addition to any trading strategy!
Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.
Price Action Trend and Margin EquityThe Price Action Trend and Margin Equity indicator is a multifunctional market analysis tool that combines elements of money management and price pattern analysis. The indicator helps traders identify key price action patterns and determine optimal entry, exit and stop loss levels based on the current trend.
The main components of the indicator:
Money Management:
Allows the trader to set risk management parameters such as the percentage of possible loss on the position, the use of fixed leverage and the total capital.
Calculates the required leverage level to achieve a specified percentage of loss.
Price Action:
Correctly identifies various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Engulfing Bar, PPR Bar and Inside Bar.
Displays these patterns on the chart with the ability to customize candle colors and display styles.
Allows the trader to customize take profit and stop loss points to display them on the chart.
The ability to display patterns only in the direction of the trend.
Trend: (some code taken from ChartPrime)
Uses a trend cloud to visualize the current market direction.
The trend cloud is displayed on the chart and helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Alert:
Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

Облако тренда определяет максимальные и минимальные значения цены за указанный период.
Значение облака устанавливается в зависимости от того, совпадает ли текущая цена с максимальными или минимальными значениями.
Если текущая цена закрытия равна максимальному значению, облако устанавливается на уровне минимального значения, и наоборот.
Market Forecast with SL & TPThis script is an indicator for TradingView. It overlays on your chart to give you visual cues about when to enter or exit in trades.
2. Key Components:
ATR (Average True Range): This measures market volatility. Think of it like how much the price jumps around. The script uses this to help decide when the market might be too volatile or just right for trading.
Fibonacci Levels: These are specific price levels that traders believe the market will react to. They're calculated based on the highest high and lowest low over a period. Imagine these as 'magic' levels where the price might want to stop or bounce back.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): This is like a smoothed out version of price movement over time. It helps to see the general trend without the noise of daily price fluctuations.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Analysis: This looks at the price trend on a bigger time frame (like daily charts) to see if it aligns with your shorter-term trading decisions.
3. How It Works:
Volatility Filter: The script first calculates the ATR to understand the market's volatility. You can adjust how sensitive this is with the "ATR Length" and "ATR Multiplier" inputs.
Fibonacci Levels Calculation: It figures out where these 'magic' Fibonacci levels are based on recent price action.
Trend Analysis: It checks the trend on both your current chart time frame and a higher time frame (HTF) to see if they're in agreement.
Enter/Exit Signals:
Enter/Exit: When the current price is above the SMA of both your chart and the HTF, and it's within a certain range (defined by ATR) of a Fibonacci level, the script suggests it might be a good time to buy. It places a green label saying "ENTER" below the price, draws a green line showing where the price might go up by 5% (this is your target profit), and a red line below for where you might want to stop loss if things go south.
Exit Signal: Conversely, if the price is below both SMAs and within the ATR range of a Fibonacci level, it suggests selling or exiting a position. It places a red "EXIT" label above the price, a red line predicting a 5% drop, and a stop loss line above the current price.
Visual Aids: The script also plots the SMA for reference and draws horizontal lines at Fibonacci levels to give you a visual guide of where these levels are.
4. Using the Script:
When you see the "ENTER" label, it's suggesting a potential buying opportunity based on all the conditions being favorable (trend, volatility, Fibonacci levels).
The "EXIT" label suggests selling or getting out of a trade.
The green and red lines give you a visual of where you might aim to take profit or set your stop loss, helping you manage your trade.
5. Why It's Useful:
This script combines several trading concepts (volatility, trend following, Fibonacci retracement) into one tool, making it easier for you to spot potential trading opportunities without having to analyze each component separately. It's like having a little trading assistant on your chart!
Remember, while this script can guide you, always use it alongside your own analysis, risk management, and understanding of the market. Happy trading!

Profitability Visualization with Bid-Ask Spread ApproximationOverview
The " Profitability Visualization with Bid-Ask Spread Approximation " indicator is designed to assist traders in assessing potential profit and loss targets in relation to the current market price or a simulated entry price. It provides flexibility by allowing users to choose between two methods for calculating the offset from the current price:
Bid-Ask Spread Approximation: The indicator attempts to estimate the bid-ask spread by using the highest (high) and lowest (low) prices within a given period (typically the current bar or a user-defined timeframe) as proxies for the ask and bid prices, respectively. This method provides a dynamic offset that adapts to market volatility.
Percentage Offset: Alternatively, users can specify a fixed percentage offset from the current price. This method offers a consistent offset regardless of market conditions.
Key Features
Dual Offset Calculation Methods: Choose between a dynamic bid-ask spread approximation or a fixed percentage offset to tailor the indicator to your trading style and market analysis.
Entry Price Consideration: The indicator can simulate an entry price at the beginning of each trading session (or the first bar on the chart if no sessions are defined). This feature enables a more realistic visualization of potential profit and loss levels based on a hypothetical entry point.
Profit and Loss Targets: When the entry price consideration is enabled, the indicator plots profit target (green) and loss target (red) lines. These lines represent the price levels at which a trade entered at the simulated entry price would achieve a profit or incur a loss equivalent to the calculated offset amount.
Offset Visualization: Regardless of whether the entry price is considered, the indicator always displays upper (aqua) and lower (fuchsia) offset lines. These lines represent the calculated offset levels based on the chosen method (bid-ask approximation or percentage offset).
Customization: Users can adjust the percentage offset, toggle the bid-ask approximation and entry price consideration, and customize the appearance of the lines through the indicator's settings.
Inputs
useBidAskApproximation A boolean (checkbox) input that determines whether to use the bid-ask spread approximation (true) or the percentage offset (false). Default is false.
percentageOffset A float input that allows users to specify the percentage offset to be used when useBidAskApproximation is false. The default value is 0.63.
considerEntryPrice A boolean input that enables the consideration of a simulated entry price for calculating and displaying profit and loss targets. Default is true.
Calculations
Bid-Ask Approximation (if enabled): bidApprox = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe.period, low) Approximates the bid price using the lowest price (low) of the current period. askApprox = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe.period, high) Approximates the ask price using the highest price (high) of the current period. spreadApprox = askApprox - bidApprox Calculates the approximate spread.
Offset Amount: offsetAmount = useBidAskApproximation ? spreadApprox / 2 : close * (percentageOffset / 100) Determines the offset amount based on the selected method. If useBidAskApproximation is true, the offset is half of the approximated spread; otherwise, it's the current closing price (close) multiplied by the percentageOffset.
Entry Price (if enabled): var entryPrice = 0.0 Initializes a variable to store the entry price. if considerEntryPrice Checks if entry price consideration is enabled. if barstate.isnew Checks if the current bar is the first bar of a new session. entryPrice := close Sets the entryPrice to the closing price of the first bar of the session.
Profit and Loss Targets (if entry price is considered): profitTarget = entryPrice + offsetAmount Calculates the profit target price level. lossTarget = entryPrice - offsetAmount Calculates the loss target price level.
Plotting
Profit Target Line: Plotted in green (color.green) with a dashed line style (plot.style_linebr) and increased linewidth (linewidth=2) when considerEntryPrice is true.
Loss Target Line: Plotted in red (color.red) with a dashed line style (plot.style_linebr) and increased linewidth (linewidth=2) when considerEntryPrice is true.
Upper Offset Line: Always plotted in aqua (color.aqua) to show the offset level above the current price.
Lower Offset Line: Always plotted in fuchsia (color.fuchsia) to show the offset level below the current price.
Limitations
Approximation: The bid-ask spread approximation is based on high and low prices and may not perfectly reflect the actual bid-ask spread of a specific broker, especially during periods of high volatility or low liquidity.
Simplified Entry: The entry price simulation is basic and assumes entry at the beginning of each session. It does not account for specific entry signals or order types.
No Order Execution: This indicator is purely for visualization and does not execute any trades.
Data Discrepancies: The high and low values used for approximation might not always align with real-time bid and ask prices due to differences in data aggregation and timing between TradingView and various brokers.

MCP Stop Strategy [JARUTIR]The MCP Stop Strategy is a trading tool designed to help traders lock in profits and manage risks. It is based on the concept of setting a MCP (Mental Capacity Preservation) Stop explained in the book "The Lifecycle Trade". I call it Maximum Controllable Profit Stop which helps protect profits once a stock or asset reaches a new peak. The MCP Stop is dynamically calculated based on the Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price), and is adjusted using a customizable percentage (MCP%) to retain a portion of the gains from the peak price during a drawdown.
Key Features :
MCP Stop Calculation: The script calculates the MCP Stop as:
MCP Stop = Buy Price + (Peak Price - Buy Price) x MCP%
This helps you protect a portion of your gains (defined by MCP%) as the price moves in your favor.
Flexible Buy Date Option:
You can either manually input a Buy Date or let the script automatically detect the Buy Date when the price first meets or exceeds the user-defined Buy Price.
After the Buy Date, the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price are plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
Customizable Parameters:
Buy Price: The price at which the asset was bought.
MCP Percentage: The percentage of profit from the peak that you want to retain in case of a drawdown.
Lookback Length: The number of bars to consider when calculating the Peak Price (All Time High).
How to Use the Script :
Set the Buy Price: Enter the price at which you bought the asset.
Set the MCP%: Enter the percentage of profits you want to protect from the peak. For example, if you want to retain 10% of the gain from the peak, set this to 10.
Choose the Buy Date Method:
Automated Buy Date: The script will automatically detect the first bar where the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
Manual Buy Date: If you prefer to specify a particular Buy Date, input the desired date and time.
View the MCP Stop and Peak Price: After the Buy Date (either manually or automatically detected), the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price will be plotted on the chart.
Monitor the MCP Stop Trigger: The script will alert you when the price falls below the MCP Stop, indicating a potential exit point to protect profits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the MCP Stop?
The MCP Stop is a dynamic stop-loss level that adjusts based on your Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price). It protects a portion of your gains from the peak, which is defined by the MCP%. For example, if you set the MCP% to 10%, the script will retain 10% of the gains from the peak and use this as a stop-loss.
2. How does the Buy Date work?
The Buy Date is the date when you entered the position:
If you choose Automated Buy Date, the script will automatically set the Buy Date to the first bar when the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
If you choose Manual Buy Date, you can specify a particular date and time when you want the strategy to start calculating and plotting the MCP Stop and Peak Price.
3. What happens if the price falls below the MCP Stop?
If the price drops below the MCP Stop, the script will mark this as a potential exit point, helping you protect profits. A visual alert (MCP STOP) will be shown on the chart when the price reaches or falls below the MCP Stop.
4. Can I adjust the Lookback Length for Peak Price?
Yes, you can customize the Lookback Length (the number of bars the script considers when calculating the Peak Price) by entering a value in the input field. By default, it is set to 1000 bars, which represents a few months of historical data, but you can increase or decrease this based on your trading strategy.
5. Why would I want to use the automated Buy Date?
The Automated Buy Date is useful for traders who want the script to automatically track the Buy Date when the price first reaches or exceeds the Buy Price. This is helpful when you're unsure of the exact entry date but know the price at which you bought the asset. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual input.
6. Can I use this strategy for long and short positions?
The current version of this script is designed for long positions, where you buy an asset and want to protect your profits as the price increases. If you're interested in applying it to short positions, you would need to adjust the logic accordingly (e.g., tracking the lowest price instead of the peak price).
7. Can I modify the script to fit my trading strategy?
Yes, this script is highly customizable. You can adjust parameters such as Buy Price, MCP%, and Lookback Length to suit your specific trading style. You can also tweak the visual appearance of the plotted lines and alerts.

Visual ATR StopThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to display a visual range for stop placement. Two multiplier values (example, 1 and 3) can be set to create a filled area below the price. This area represents the range between the two ATR levels, adjusted by subtracting the current price, providing a simple way to visualize stop-loss placement based on volatility.
The indicator is customizable; for example, negative values can place the area above the price for short positions. The filled color can also be removed, which allows precise levels to be marked above and below.
Dynamic TestingInput Parameters
`lookbackPeriod` : Number of candles to check for determining the highest high (resistance) and lowest low (support) levels.
`atrPeriod` : The period for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of market volatility.

ATR Stop LossThe ATR Stop Loss indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk by calculating dynamic stop loss levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). By considering market volatility, this tool helps identify optimal stop loss placements for both long and short positions, making it easier for traders to protect their investments and avoid premature exits.
Features:
Customizable ATR period and multiplier to adapt to different trading strategies and market conditions.
Displays stop loss levels directly on the chart for quick decision-making.
Works across various timeframes and assets, offering flexible application in diverse trading scenarios.
How It Works: The indicator calculates the ATR over a specified period and multiplies it by a user-defined value to plot stop loss levels above or below the current closing price. For long positions, the stop loss level is set below the price, while for short positions, it is set above. These levels help traders set stops that account for current market volatility, reducing the likelihood of getting stopped out by minor fluctuations.
Usage: Add the ATR Stop Loss indicator to your chart, customize the ATR period and multiplier as needed, and use the visualized stop loss levels to manage your trades with greater precision and confidence.

Target Trend [BigBeluga]The Target Trend indicator is a trend-following tool designed to assist traders in capturing directional moves while managing entry, stop loss, and profit targets visually on the chart. Using adaptive SMA bands as the core trend detection method, this indicator dynamically identifies shifts in trend direction and provides structured exit points through customizable target levels.
SP500:
🔵 IDEA
The Target Trend indicator’s concept is to simplify trade management by providing automated visual cues for entries, stops, and targets directly on the chart. When a trend change is detected, the indicator prints an up or down triangle to signal entry direction, plots three customizable target levels for potential exits, and calculates a stop-loss level below or above the entry point. The indicator continuously adapts as price moves, making it easier for traders to follow and manage trades in real time.
When price crosses a target level, the label changes to a check mark, confirming that the target has been achieved. Similarly, if the stop-loss level is hit, the label changes to an "X," and the line becomes dashed, indicating that the stop loss has been activated. This feature provides traders with a clear visual trail of whether their targets or stop loss have been hit, allowing for easier trade tracking and exit strategy management.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
SMA Bands for Trend Detection: The indicator uses adaptive SMA bands to identify the trend direction. When price crosses above or below these bands, a new trend is detected, triggering entry signals. The entry point is marked on the chart with a triangle symbol, which updates with each new trend change.
Automated Targets and Stop Loss Management: Upon a new trend signal, the indicator automatically plots three price targets and a stop loss level. These levels provide traders with structured exit points for potential gains and a clear risk limit. The stop loss is placed below or above the entry point, depending on the trend direction, to manage downside risk effectively.
Visual Target and Stop Loss Validation: As price hits each target, the label beside the level updates to a check mark, indicating that the target has been reached. Similarly, if the stop loss is activated, the stop loss label changes to an "X," and the line becomes dashed. This feature visually confirms whether targets or stop losses are hit, simplifying trade management.
The indicator also marks the entry price at each trend change with a label on the chart, allowing traders to quickly see their initial entry point relative to current price and target levels.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Trend Length: Set the lookback period for the trend-detection SMA bands to adjust the sensitivity to trend changes.
Targets Setting: Customize the number and spacing of the targets to fit your trading style and market conditions.
Visual Styles: Adjust the appearance of labels, lines, and symbols on the chart for a clearer view and personalized layout.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Target Trend indicator offers a streamlined approach to trend trading by integrating entry, target, and stop loss management into a single visual tool. With automatic tracking of target levels and stop loss hits, it helps traders stay focused on the current trend while keeping track of risk and reward with minimal effort.

How Are Stop Levels Calculated? (For Advanced Users)
The WillStop Pro indicator determines stop levels by evaluating highs, lows, and closing prices over a specific lookback period. It uses this information to identify key points that justify adjusting your stop level, and there are separate approaches for both long and short positions.
Below, we explain the mathematical logic behind the stop calculations, along with some code snippets to give advanced users a clearer understanding.
For Long Stops (buy positions): The indicator looks for the highest closing price within the lookback period and continues until it finds three valid bars that meet certain criteria. Stops are adjusted to skip bars that have consecutive upward closes to ensure that the stop is placed at a level that offers solid support. Specifically, the function iterates over recent bars to determine the highest closing value, and checks for specific conditions before finalizing the stop level. Here is an excerpt of the relevant code:
getTrueLow(idx) => math.min(low , close )
findStopLevels() =>
float highestClose = close
int highestCloseIndex = 0
for i = 0 to lookback
if close > highestClose
highestClose := close
highestCloseIndex := i
// Logic to adjust based on up close skipping
int longCount = 0
int longCurrentIndex = highestCloseIndex
while longCount < 3 and longCurrentIndex < 100
if not isInsideBar(longCurrentIndex)
longCount += 1
longCurrentIndex += 1
// Determine the lowest low for the stop level
float longStopLevel = high * 2
for i = searchIndex to highestCloseIndex
longStopLevel := math.min(longStopLevel, getTrueLow(i))
// Apply offset
longStopLevel := longStopLevel - (offsetTicks * tickSize)
In this code snippet, the function findStopLevels() calculates the long stop level by first identifying the highest close within the lookback period and then finding a suitable support level while skipping certain conditions, such as inside bars or consecutive upward closes. Finally, the user-defined offset ( offsetTicks ) is applied to determine the stop level.
For Short Stops (sell positions): Similarly, the indicator finds the lowest closing price within the lookback period and then identifies three bars that fit the conditions for a short stop. It avoids using bars with consecutive down closes to help find a more robust resistance level. Here's a relevant code snippet:
getTrueHigh(idx) => math.max(high , close )
findStopLevels() =>
float lowestClose = close
int lowestCloseIndex = 0
for i = 0 to lookback
if close < lowestClose
lowestClose := close
lowestCloseIndex := i
// Logic to adjust based on down close skipping
int shortCount = 0
int shortCurrentIndex = lowestCloseIndex
while shortCount < 3 and shortCurrentIndex < 100
if not isInsideBar(shortCurrentIndex)
shortCount += 1
shortCurrentIndex += 1
// Determine the highest high for the stop level
float shortStopLevel = 0
for i = searchIndex to lowestCloseIndex
shortStopLevel := math.max(shortStopLevel, getTrueHigh(i))
// Apply offset
shortStopLevel := shortStopLevel + (offsetTicks * tickSize)
Here, findStopLevels() calculates the short stop level by finding the lowest closing price within the lookback period. It then determines the highest value that acts as a resistance level, excluding bars that do not fit certain criteria.
Volume Confirmation for Alert Accuracy : To further enhance the stop level accuracy, volume is used as a confirmation filter. The average volume (volAvg) is calculated over a 20-period moving average, and alerts are only generated if the volume exceeds a defined threshold (volMultiplier). This ensures that price movements are significant enough to consider as meaningful signals.
volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
isVolumeConfirmed() =>
result = requireVolumeConfirmation ? volume > (volAvg * volMultiplier) : true
result
This additional logic ensures that stop level breaks or adjustments are not triggered during periods of low trading activity, thus enhancing the reliability of the generated signals.
These calculations are at the core of WillStop Pro's ability to determine dynamic stop levels that respond effectively to market movements, helping traders manage risk by placing stops at levels that make sense given historical price and volume data.
How to Identify Opportunities with WillStop Pro
WillStop Pro provides various signals that help you decide when to enter or exit a trade:
When a Stop Level is Broken: If a stop level (support for long positions or resistance for short positions) is broken, it may indicate a reversal. WillStop Pro visually plots arrows whenever a stop level is breached, making it easy for you to see where changes might occur. This feature helps traders identify momentum shifts quickly.
Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator plots support and resistance levels, which show key zones to watch for opportunities. These levels often act as psychological barriers in the market, where price action may either reverse or stall temporarily.
Dynamic State Management: The indicator shifts between long and short states based on price action, providing real-time feedback. This helps traders stick to their trading plan without second-guessing the market.
A major advantage of WillStop Pro is that it responds well to changing market conditions. By identifying when key support or resistance levels break, it allows you to adjust your strategies and react to new opportunities accordingly. Whether the market is trending strongly or staying within a range, WillStop Pro provides valuable information to help guide your trades.
Setting Up Alerts
Alerts are an important feature in trading, especially when you can’t be in front of your charts all the time. WillStop Pro has been enhanced to include flexible alert settings to help you stay on top of your trades without constantly monitoring the charts.
Enable Alerts: There is a master switch to enable or disable all alerts. This way, you can control whether you want to be notified of events at any time.
Alert Frequency: Choose between receiving alerts Once Per Bar or Once Per Bar Close . This helps you manage the frequency of alerts and decide if you need real-time updates or want confirmation after a bar closes.
Break Alerts: These alerts notify you when a stop level has been broken. This can help you catch potential reversals or trading opportunities as soon as they happen.
Strong Break Alerts: Alerts are available for strong breaks, which occur when the price breaks stop levels with confirmation based on additional price, volume, and momentum criteria. These alerts help identify significant shifts in the market.
Level Change Alerts: These alerts tell you whenever a new stop level is calculated, keeping you updated about changes in market dynamics. You can set a Minimum Level Change % to ensure that alerts are only triggered when the stop level changes significantly.
Require Volume Confirmation: You can opt to receive alerts only if the volume is above a certain threshold. This confirmation helps reduce false signals by ensuring that significant price changes are backed by increased trading activity.
Volume Multiplier: The volume multiplier allows you to set a minimum volume requirement that must be met for an alert to trigger. This ensures that alerts are triggered only when there is sufficient trading interest.
Here is a part of the updated alert logic that has been implemented in the indicator:
// Alert on break conditions
if alertsEnabled
if alertOnBreaks
if longStopBroken and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Support Break - Short Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
if shortStopBroken and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Resistance Break - Long Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
// Strong break alerts
if alertOnStrongBreaks
if longStopBroken and isStrongBreak(false)
alert(createAlertMessage("Strong Support Break - Short Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
if shortStopBroken and isStrongBreak(true)
alert(createAlertMessage("Strong Resistance Break - Long Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
// Level change alerts
if alertOnLevelChanges and isSignificantChange() and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Significant Level Change", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
Setting alerts allows you to react to market changes without having to watch the charts constantly. Alerts are particularly helpful if you have other responsibilities and can’t be actively monitoring your trades all day.
Understanding the Table Display
The WillStop Pro indicator provides a status table that gives an overview of the current market state. Here’s what the table shows:
Indicator Status: The table indicates whether the indicator is in a LONG or SHORT state. This helps you quickly understand the market trend.
Stop Level: The active stop level is shown, whether it is acting as support (long) or resistance (short). This is important for knowing where to set your protective stops.
Mode: The table also displays whether the advanced calculation mode is being used. This keeps you informed about how stop levels are being calculated and why they are positioned where they are.
Empowering Messages: The table also includes motivational messages that rotate periodically, such as 'Trade with Clarity, Stop with Precision' and 'Let Winners Run, Cut Losses Short.' These messages are designed to keep you focused, motivated, and disciplined during your trading journey.
The table is simple and easy to follow, helping you maintain discipline in your trading plan. By having all the essential information in one place, the table reduces the need to make quick, emotional decisions and promotes more thoughtful analysis.

Trailing Stop Loss Smart [TradingFinder] Market Trend + CVD/EMA🔵 Introduction
Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) is one of the most powerful tools available. A Trailing Stop Loss is a modification of a typical stop order that adjusts dynamically based on market price movement. It can be set at a defined percentage or dollar amount away from the security's current market price, making it a flexible tool for locking in profits while minimizing risk. Unlike standard stop-loss orders, a Trailing Stop follows the market in the direction of the trade, protecting gains without requiring constant manual adjustments.
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart (TFlab Trailing Stop) indicator takes this concept even further by incorporating advanced metrics like Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), volume dynamics, and Average True Range (ATR). This combination not only enhances risk management but also acts as a trend identifier, providing traders with a powerful tool to capitalize on both short-term and long-term price movements.
This indicator also supports various Order Types, allowing for flexible strategies that include a trailing stop/stop-loss combo to maximize winning trades while minimizing losses. The trailing stop limit is particularly useful for traders who want to set their stop at a precise level relative to the current market price, either by a percentage or a dollar amount. The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator can help ensure that traders do not exit too early during trends, while the stop-loss feature kicks in during reversals.
The advantages of using a Trailing Stop Loss are its ability to protect profits and reduce the emotional decision-making process in volatile markets. However, like all trading strategies, it has disadvantages, such as the risk of triggering too early during normal market fluctuations. By understanding how the Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator integrates features like CVD, ATR, and volume analysis, traders can leverage its full potential while navigating these pros and cons.
With its unique ability to track market movements and trends using Cumulative Volume Delta, volume dynamics, and ATR-based trailing stops, this indicator offers a complete solution for traders looking to secure profits while minimizing downside risk. Whether you're employing a simple trailing stop or a trailing stop/stop-loss combo, this tool provides all the flexibility and precision needed to execute winning trades in various markets, including Forex, Crypto, and Stock.
🔵 How to Use
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator integrates multiple advanced components to provide traders with superior risk management and trend identification.
Here’s how each part of the logic works :
🟣 Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Logic
The CVD tracks buying and selling pressure by calculating the difference between upward and downward price movements. When there’s more buying pressure, the CVD is positive, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, more selling pressure results in a negative CVD, pointing to a bearish trend.
CVD Trend Detection : The indicator determines whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase by comparing the CVD to its moving average. A bullish trend is confirmed when the CVD is above its moving average and the price is closing higher.
A bearish trend occurs when the CVD is below its moving average and the price is closing lower. This trend detection is critical for determining whether the trailing stop should be placed below the price (bullish) or above it (bearish).
🟣 Volume Dynamics
Volume is a key factor in identifying market strength. The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator pulls volume data based on the market selected (Forex, Crypto, or Stock) and adjusts the trailing stop based on whether the market is experiencing high volume or low volume.
High Volume : When the current volume exceeds the average volume, the market is in a high-volume state. During these conditions, the trailing stop is placed closer to the price, as high volume often indicates strong trends with less chance of reversals.
Low Volume : In low-volume conditions, the trailing stop gives the market more room to breathe by placing the stop further away from the price. This prevents premature stop-outs in periods of reduced market activity.
🟣 ATR-Based Trailing Stop
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility. The Trailing Stop Loss Smart uses the ATR to dynamically adjust the stop-loss distance.
Bullish Market : When a bullish trend is detected, the trailing stop is placed below the lowest price of the recent bars (determined by the Bar Back parameter), and adjusted by the ATR Multiplier. This allows for tighter protection during strong bullish trends.
Bearish Market : When the market is bearish, the trailing stop is placed above the highest price of recent bars, also adjusted by the ATR Multiplier. This ensures that short positions are safeguarded against sudden reversals.
🟣 Dynamic Stop-Loss Updates
The trailing stop is updated every few bars (according to the Refiner parameter), ensuring it remains relevant to the most recent price action and volume changes. This dynamic feature ensures the stop-loss adapts to both trending and volatile market conditions, without requiring manual intervention.
High Volume with Trends : In periods of high volume and a confirmed trend, the stop-loss is positioned tightly to lock in profits while minimizing the risk of reversal.
Low Volume with Trends : In low-volume conditions, the stop-loss is placed further from the price, allowing the market to move freely without triggering premature exits.
🟣 Visual Representation
The indicator visually represents the trailing stop on the chart, with green lines indicating bullish trends and red lines for bearish trends. This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the state of the market and the position of their trailing stop in real-time.
🔵 Settings
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator offers several customizable settings to suit various trading strategies. Understanding these inputs is key to optimizing the tool for your specific trading style.
🟣 General Settings
Cumulative Mode : This controls how the CVD is calculated.
You can choose between :
EMA : Exponential Moving Average smoothing.
Periodic : Sums the delta over a fixed period.
CVD Period : Defines the look-back period for CVD calculation. A longer period smooths the data, making it less sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
Ultra Data : This Boolean input aggregates volume across multiple exchanges for a more comprehensive view of market activity.
Market Ultra Data : Select between Forex, Crypto, and Stock to ensure the indicator pulls accurate volume data for your market.
🟣 Logical Settings
Moving Average CVD Period : Defines the period for the moving average of the CVD. A longer period smooths the trend, reducing noise.
Moving Average Volume Period : Sets the period for the moving average used to distinguish between high and low volume conditions.
Level Finder Bar Back : Determines how many bars to look back when identifying the highest or lowest price for trailing stop placement.
Levels update per candles : Sets how often (in bars) the trailing stop should be updated to remain in sync with market movements.
ATR On : Toggles the use of ATR to adjust the trailing stop based on volatility.
ATR Multiplie r: Defines how far the stop is placed from the price based on the ATR. A larger multiplier increases the stop distance, reducing the likelihood of getting stopped out during market fluctuations.
ATR Multiplier Adjusts the distance of the trailing stop based on the ATR. A higher multiplier places the stop further from the price, providing more breathing room in volatile markets.
🔵 Conclusion
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders looking to manage risk while identifying market trends. By incorporating Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to detect buying and selling pressure, volume dynamics to gauge market activity, and ATR to adjust for volatility, this indicator ensures that stop-loss levels are both adaptive and protective.
Whether you’re trading in Forex, Crypto, or Stock markets, the Trailing Stop Loss Smart allows you to capitalize on trends while dynamically adjusting to changing market conditions. Its ability to distinguish between high-volume and low-volume periods ensures that you’re not stopped out prematurely during periods of consolidation or market hesitation.
By providing real-time visual feedback, dynamic adjustments, and trend identification, this indicator serves as a vital tool for traders aiming to maximize profits while minimizing risk. Its versatility and adaptability make it an essential part of any trader’s toolkit, helping you stay ahead in fast-moving markets while safeguarding your positions.
Chandelier Exit Pro w/ExtensionsChandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions
The Chandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk and identifying trend reversals. The strategy is based on the Chandelier Exit concept, originally created by Charles Le Beau. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop levels that adjust based on market volatility. This script not only implements the standard Chandelier Exit, but also introduces extension levels and alerts to enhance decision-making.
Key Features:
➡️Dynamic Stop Levels: The indicator calculates stop levels for both long and short positions based on an ATR multiple. This allows traders to determine exit points by monitoring when the price crosses above or below these levels. These levels adapt in real-time based on price volatility, making them a versatile tool for trend-following strategies.
➡️Extension Levels: In addition to the primary stop levels, the script includes extension levels for more advanced stop-loss management. Traders can view active and extension levels separately, providing more flexibility in their exit strategies.
➡️Labels and Visual Cues: The indicator provides dynamic labels that automatically update and follow the plotted stop levels. Labels include the ATR multiplier value (e.g., "2.5" or "2.5ext"), clearly showing the significance of each level. When price crosses below or above a level, the corresponding label is highlighted, aiding traders in quickly identifying the most relevant stop level.
➡️Bar Confirmation and Alerts: The script includes an "await bar confirmation" option to ensure that the stop levels and alerts only trigger after the bar has closed. Alerts are customizable and will notify traders when price crosses critical levels, helping to make timely decisions without the need to constantly monitor charts.
➡️Multiple ATR Levels for Enhanced Precision: The indicator supports up to four different ATR levels, each with customizable multipliers. This allows traders to set different thresholds for exits based on varying degrees of volatility. For example, Level 1 (2.5x ATR) might represent a tighter stop, while Level 4 (10x ATR) could serve as a wider stop for long-term positions.
➡️Calc_bars_count: Improves efficiency of the indicator by reducing the on-chart calculations in to the past. This input can be found at the bottom of the INPUTS tab.
How it Helps Traders:
💥Trend Identification: By using the Chandelier Exit levels, traders can identify when the trend is likely to reverse. When the price crosses below the stop level in a long trade or above the stop level in a short trade, it signals a potential exit point.
💥Volatility-based Adjustments: Unlike static stop-loss methods, the ATR-based stop levels dynamically adjust based on the market’s volatility. This means tighter stops during low volatility periods and wider stops during high volatility periods, reducing the chance of being stopped out prematurely.
💥Risk Management: The dynamic stop levels and extension levels provide a structured way to manage risk. Traders can set tighter stops for short-term trades and wider stops for longer-term trades. The script's visual labels make it easy to track these levels in real-time.
💥Automation with Alerts: The built-in alert system ensures that traders are notified when key levels are crossed. This helps to avoid emotional decision-making and allows for better execution of trading strategies.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of the Chandelier Exit indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use the Chandelier Exit levels in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and the Chandelier Exit signals a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the Chandelier Exit signals a trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the Chandelier Exit triggers a short signal and the RSI also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern near a Chandelier Exit resistance level offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the Chandelier Exit with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
Practical Use Case:
Imagine a trader enters a long position, and the price moves favorably. Using the Chandelier Exit, the trader sets the initial stop level at 2.5x ATR below the highest close. As the price continues to rise, the stop level follows the price, locking in profits. If the market suddenly turns, the price crossing below the stop level signals an exit, helping the trader preserve gains. With extension levels, the trader can further refine exits, adjusting based on their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Good luck and I hope that you can find a place in your tool bag to use this dynamic indicator 🙏
Profit & Risk CalculatorThe "Profit & Risk Calculator" script in Pine Script (TradingView) is designed to help users calculate potential profit and risk when trading, and to provide alerts when specific price levels are reached (such as entry price, take profit, or stop loss). It includes several components as described below:
1. Input Fields:
The user can manually input various prices: entry price, stop loss price, and take profit price, with steps of 0.25.
There is also an option to input a custom value (e.g., for personal lot sizing) and a total investment amount.
2. Dynamic Lines:
The script draws dynamic horizontal lines for the input prices: entry line (white), stop loss line (red), and take profit line (green).
These lines are automatically updated based on the entered price levels.
3. Labels for the Lines:
Labels are added to the lines to visually indicate the entry, stop loss, and take profit levels on the chart.
4. Long and Short Position Calculations:
The script calculates potential profit and loss for both long (profit if the price goes up) and short (profit if the price goes down) positions.
It also calculates the distance between entry and take profit, and distance between entry and stop loss, along with the risk/reward ratio (RR).
5. Alerts:
The script generates alerts when one of the following conditions is met:
Entry Condition: The price touches or exceeds the entry price (high >= entryPrice).
Stop Loss Condition: The price touches or drops below the stop loss price (low <= stopLossPrice).
Take Profit Condition: The price touches or exceeds the take profit price (high >= takeProfitPrice).
6. Lot Calculations:
The script calculates both micro and mini lot sizes based on a preset table and the custom value.
The results are displayed in a table on the chart.
7. Profit/Risk Table:
The script shows two tables:
One table calculates the profit, loss, and risk/reward ratio based on the input entry price.
A second table shows the same calculations based on the current price.
8. Chart Display:
The script places tables and other visual data on the chart, such as preset values, profit and loss calculations, and the distance from take profit and stop loss to the entry price.
English Explanation of Each Part of the Script
1. Input Fields
The script starts with several input fields where the user can specify the entry price, stop loss price, take profit price, custom value, and investment amount. These values help define the parameters for risk/reward calculations.
2. Dynamic Horizontal Lines
Three horizontal lines are drawn on the chart, representing the entry price, stop loss price, and take profit price. These lines update dynamically based on user input.
3. Dynamic Line Updates
As the user adjusts their inputs, the position of the lines is updated in real-time to match the new price levels. This keeps the chart visually accurate.
4. Labels for Lines
Labels are placed on the chart next to each price line, allowing the user to clearly see which line represents which price level.
5. Long and Short Position Calculations
The script calculates the potential profit or loss for both long (prices go up) and short (prices go down) positions, providing users with an idea of their potential gains or losses.
6. **6. Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation
This calculates the Risk/Reward Ratio (RR) by dividing the distance between the take profit and entry price by the distance between the entry and stop loss price. This gives the trader an idea of how much risk they're taking relative to the potential reward.
7. Alert Conditions
The alert conditions are defined based on the price hitting the set levels:
Entry Condition: If the price goes up and touches the entry level, the alert is triggered.
Stop Loss Condition: If the price drops and hits the stop loss level, the alert is triggered.
Take Profit Condition: If the price rises and reaches the take profit level, the alert is triggered.
8. Alert Configuration
Each condition is linked to an alert that sends a message when the specific price level is touched. The alerts notify the user when the entry, stop loss, or take profit levels are hit.
9. Lot Calculations
The script includes a function that calculates micro and mini lot sizes based on a preset table and a custom value input by the user. This is useful for adjusting lot sizes to the desired amount and determining position sizes for trades.
10. Entry Price-Based Profit & Loss Table
A table is generated on the chart that displays detailed information about the profit, loss, and risk/reward ratio based on the entry price. It helps traders see the potential outcomes for different lot sizes.
11. Current Price-Based Profit & Loss Table
This second table provides similar information as the first but calculates profit, loss, and risk/reward based on the current price. This allows the trader to see how their position performs as the market price changes in real time.
