DEMA ATR Channels - New IndicatorA Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the DEMA.
Similar to my "ATR Channels" indicator, but using a DEMA instead of an EMA for the base. In addition, this indicator also plots a fast DEMA as well as a fill between the two. Fully customizable, you can toggle both DEMAs, the fill, and each set of ATR Channels.
ATR channel idea from Kerry Lovvorn as mentioned in Elder's "New Trading for a Living", page 93: "Kerry Lovvorn likes to plot 3 sets of lines around a moving average: at one, two, and three ATRs above and below an EMA . These can be used for setting up entry points and stops, as well as profit targets."
Multiple MA's & ATR-MultiplesPossibly useful to users that do not have a paid subscription. (multiple indicators in one script)
Exponential and simple moving average options with an option for a time frame other than current chart time frame combined with multiples of the average true range plotted as a chart overlay.

ATR in %Muh indicator :)
Simple but so useful little script. I work in percents because this is what makes sense not "pips" and "ticks" my account grows or diminishes a certain percentage I risk "1%" for example not ticks, ticks is what bad dogs have.
Was tired of calculating manually every time.
Makes it easier to set stop losses, get an idea of what to expect, risk in a kind of worse case scneario, backtest strategies, compare charts etc quickly. More quick now.
Example.
Bitcoin and NatGas, you do NOT need leverage...
optionsellers.com that somehow got surprised by Natgas volatility and squeezed, I think he did not bother doing this...
Happens all the time on NatGas, that "short seller catastrophy" that made the headlines was not even that big of a spike...
Plenty of way worse ones not long ago
HMA ATR Range v2In Alan Hull's books he talks about his 'range indicator' which is the HMA and ATR to give buy / hold / sell signals.
It is the HMA with the ATR SL with the Trend and (ATR multiplier * Period) + HMA for the TP (upper range)
HMA ATR RangeIn Alan's books he talks about his 'range indicator' which is the HMA and ATR to give buy / hold / sell signals. This is my version as he doesnt give the formula.
It is the HMA with the ATR added and subtracted and plotted above & below the HMA to create a range.
According to Alan's terminology: HMA = Central Cord, SL = Lower deviation, TP = Upper deviation
Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Average True Range Trailing Stops This is combo strategies for get
a cumulative signal. Result signal will return 1 if two strategies
is long, -1 if all strategies is short and 0 if signals of strategies is not equal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.

I build these indicators for myself and provide them open source, to use for free to use and improve upon,
as I believe the best way to learn is toghether.
IO_ATR_MAThis is an ATR+MA indicator.. the general idea is:
- when ATR is higher than MA, volatility is high
- when ATR is lower than MA, volatility is low
ATR based Pivots mcbwHey everyone this is an exciting new script I have prepared for you.
I was reading an old forex bulletin article some time ago when I came across this: solar.murty.net (or you can download the full bulletin with lots of other good articles here: www.forexfactory.com).
You can already buy this for metatrader (www.mql5.com) so I figured to make it for free for tradingview.
This bulletin suggested that you can reasonably predict daily volatility by adding or subtracting multiples of the daily ATR to the daily opening. Using this you can choose multiples to use as price targets and alternatively as stop losses. For example, if you already have a sense of market direction you can buy at market open place a stop loss at - 1 daily ATR and a profit target at + 3 ATRs for a risk to reward ratio of 3. If you are looking for smaller/quicker moves with a ratio of 3 you can have a stop loss at -0.25 ATR and a take profit at +0.75 ATR.
Alternatively this article also suggests to use this method to catch volatility breakouts. If price is higher than the + 1 ATR area then you can safely assume it will be going to the +2 ATR area so you can put a buy stop at + 1 ATR with a profit target at + 2 ATR with a stop loss at +0.5 ATR to catch a volatility breakout with a risk to reward ratio of 2!
Even further there are methods that you can use with ATRs of multiple window sizes, for example by opening two copies of this indicator and measuring recent volatility with a 1 week window and long term volatility within a 1 month window. If the short term volatility is crossing the long term volatility then there is a high probability chance that even more price movement will occur.
However I have found that this method is good for more than daily volatility , it can also be used to measure weekly volatility , and monthly volatility and use these multiples as good long term price targets.
To select if you want daily, weekly, or monthly values of the ATR of volatility you're using go to the settings and click on the options in the "Opening period". The default window of the ATR here is 14 periods, but you can change this if you want to in "ATR period". Most importantly you are able to select which multiples of the ATR you would like to use in the settings in "ATR multiple 1" which is the green line, "ATR multiple 2" which is the blue line, and "ATR multiple 3" which is the purple line. You can select any values you want to put in these, the choice of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 is not special, some people use fibonacci numbers here or simply 0.33, 0.66, and 0.99.
Repainting issue: This script uses the daily value of the Average True Range (ATR), which measures the volatility that is happening today. If price becomes more volatile then the value of the ATR can increase throughout the day, but it can never decrease. What this means is that the ATR based pivots are able to expand away from the opening price, which should not affect the trades that you take based on these areas. If you base your take profit on one of these ATR multiples and the daily volatility increase this means that your take profit area will be closer to your entry than the ATR multiple. Meaning that your trades will be more conservative.
While this all may sound very technical it is super intuitive, throw this on your chart and play around with it :)
Happy trading!
Average True Range ShiftThis indicator builds on the idea of the Average True Range (ATR) as a way of measuring volatility. It uses two different ATRs to show a shift in market volatility.
It is mainly composed of two moving averages of ATR. One fast moving, which looks back at the previous 5 periods. One slow moving, which looks back at the previous 21 periods. Both ATRs have been normalized (show percentage instead of an absolute amount). The third component of this indicator is the histogram that is created by subtracting the slow moving average, from the fast moving average.
By having two ATRs of different lengths, traders can see how short term volatility compares to long term volatility, and how it is shifting over time. When the fast-moving crosses above the slow-moving, it will show a positive value on the histogram, meaning that short term volatility is increasing and higher than normal. When it crosses below, it will show a negative value on the histogram, meaning that short term volatility is decreasing, and lower than normal.
There are a variety of ways to utilize this indicator, and it will work in most markets. I find it is best to analyze macro market conditions on daily charts and above, rather than micro intraday moves.
ATR for Trailing StopAn ATR (Average True Range) can be used to position a trailing stop
In this script, the true range of today is calculated based on the low of yesterday in order to be more stable.
It only goes up, as a trailing stop should do.
It only goes down when the trailing stop is reached by the price.
ATR for Trailing StopThe calculation of this ATR is based on the low of yesterday in order to not change continuously during the day.
You can use this indicator to create a trailing stop taking into account volatility on the nATRPeriod previous days.
It also always go up as a trailing stop should. It only goes down the price reaches the trailing stop.
ATR smoothed by Hull MAThis is Average True Range indicator, but it is smoothed with Hull MA ( not WMA etc )
It is set to overlay the candles so looks different from normal ATR but i assure you it is ATR
Script open so you can see for yourself.
perhaps different settings are better,
Help me test it, and suggest improvements thankyou
