Average True Range (ATR)

Low-ATR IndicatorWe often want to use a stop loss at a certain low - N*ATR, But it is too troublesome to manually calculate a certain day low - ATR. This indicator simply calculates it for you, by marking the value of day low - ATR. By default the hardcoded ATR value is 0, which means "Uses the ATR at that day with configured look back period". If you want to use a specific ATR value, e.g. 1) You want to set the stop loss using today's ATR but another day's day low (Very often) 2) You want to set the stop loss in another timeframe - N*ATR You can type in the value of ATR into the "hardcoded ATR" field. (Actually this should be the most used way)

Normalized Volatility IndicatorFrom an article by Rajesh Kayakkal: "Early bear phase signals can help you get out of the market before it turns down. This indicator tells you how. There are many ways to identify the trend of a financial market, the most common being the 200-day exponential moving average (Ema). When price is trending down below the 200-day Ema, the market is believed to be in a bear phase. If the market is trending up above the 200-day Ema, it is considered to be in a bull phase. Since every indicator fails at times, I wanted to find other indicators to confirm a trend. In my quest for another indicator to determine the trend for the financial markets, I found the Cboe Volatility Index (Vix) to be a good indicator of the market direction. The Vix is calculated from the weighted average of the implied volatilities of various options on the Standard & Poor’s 500 index futures. J. Welles Wilder’s average true range can also give an indication of the financial market trends; that is, when the market is in a bull phase, the average true range narrows, and when it is in a bear phase, the average true range expands. The normalized volatility indicator (Nvi) is based on this behavior. Normalized volatility indicator (Nvi) Average true range (Atr) varies depending on time. But how do we determine the phase of the financial market with Atr? Perhaps some type of ratio could give us a clue. A ratio presents a relationship of a quantity with respect to another. I did some research based on a ratio of the 64-day average true range and the end-of-day value of equity indexes such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 (Spx). I selected the 64-day period since it is close to the average number of trading days in a quarter. The ratio of the 64-day average true range and closing price does discount seasonal variations in the average true range and gives a single number that can be used to compare volatility of an instrument across many decades. I call this ratio the normalized volatility indicator. I found an interesting correlation between Nvi and cycles of major equity market indexes. The formula for the Nvi is: Nvi = 64 - Day average true range/End-of-day price * 100 The NVI gave advanced signals before the cyclical bear phase of SPX commenced in October 2000 and was almost on the spot with the bull phase that began in 2003 and the current secular bear market cycle, which started in November 2007." Includes options to show inverse NVI and change the ATR length and smoothing.

Indicator - ATR Profit Loss - DGHi Traders, This is an on chart indicator that can be used for setting take profit and stop losses very easily using the Average True Range Indicator (ATR). Using a volatility adjusted TP and SL will allow you to set your targets and losses based on market conditions. In the settings, you are able to adjust how much of a multiplier you require depending on your risk tolerance and strategy. For those that follow the NNFX method, the defult settings are preset to 1xATR TP and 1.5xATR SL. How to use: - For longs, 'isLong' box must be ticked, for shorts, this box is unticked - For longs, green line is TP, red line is SL - For shorts, red line is TP, green line is SL Regards, Dillon Grech

Profit MAX MTF HeatMapThis is a powerfull strategy which is made from combining 3 multi timeframes into one for profit max indicator In this case we have daily, weekly and montly. Our long conditions are the next ones : if we have an uptrend on all 3 at the same time, we go long. If we have a downtrend on all 3 of them at the same time we go short. For exit, for long, as soon as one of the 3 converts into downtrend we exit the trade. For exit, for short, as soon as one of the 3 converts into uptrend we exit the trade. This tool can be used on all types of markets, and can also be changed the time frames.

Daily Open Strategy (DOS)DOS is a mean-reversal strategy that trades against the previous candle direction as long as it has body greater than the PrevRange paremeter. Best results are obtained in GBP and AUD pairs on daily charts , but of course you can experiment with other assets and timeframes. Strategy parameters include starting and ending dates, the previous candle range (raw value), the Stop Loss (SL, in pips, 200 = 20 pips) and the Take Profit (TP, in pips too).

ProjectionGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com). This one is called Projection. Projection is based off the same Principle as some of my other scripts, such as Trade Manager() and Price Predictor(). I use a simple concept using line.new() to define some potential Price Projections. From the Settings of the Indicator, you can access a couple different Pre-Set options. Wide Parabola: Skinny Parabola: Straight Triangle: ZigZag1: ZigZag2: I wanted to give a Special Thanks to @Pinecoders for the custom RoundToTick Function from Backtesting/Trading Engine --> () If you like Projection, be sure to Like, Follow, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to drop a comment below.

User-Inputed Time Range & FibsGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com). This one is called User-Inputed Time Range & Fibs. The idea behind this script is to record the Range Highs and Lows of a User Defined Period, and plot potential Targets based on either Fibonacci Extensions or a Multiple of the Range Size. I created this originally for use with the US Session Initial Balance(From 9:30-10:30AM EST), however it can be set to any time period. What is Initial Balance? In simple words, Initial Balance (IB) is the price data, which are formed during the first hour of a trading session. Activity of traders forms the so-called Initial Balance at this time. This concept was introduced for the first time by Peter Steidlmayer when he presented the market profile to traders(atas.net). The IB is monitored as a break-out area for Range Extension traders. The IB High is also seen as an area of resistance and the IB Low as an area of support until it is broken(www.mypivots.com). As a note, depending on the Time Zone you are in, you may need to manually add or subtract from the Timed Range to match the desired Time. For example in NY Eastern Time, I have to use 8:30-9:30AM to Capture the 9:30-10-30AM IB for ES and NQ. Similarly, I must use 14:30-15:30PM to Capture the 9:30-10-30AM IB for BTC. You will need to make adjustments based on the Time Zone you are located in. I wanted to give a Special Thanks to @PineCoders for the Custom Rounding Function from Backtesting/Trading Engine--> (), Pinecoders.com for help with Tracking the Highs/Lows--> (www.pinecoders.com), and @TradeChartist for allowing me to use some of the code for the Fibonacci Extensions from his script here--> ().

Price PredictorGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com). This one is called Price Predictor. How To Use Price Predictor Price Predictor acquires potential targets by measuring the Average Change of Price from a user-defined resolution, from Open to Open. By default, the Resolution is set to 1 Day, however you can play around with Weekly, Monthly, etc. When a new resolution period begins, Price Predictor will automatically adjust based on the new Average Change of Price. Due to the avoidance of Security() in this script, you may have to play around with the Timeframe that you use it in to ensure that you have enough bars on your chart to process the User-Defined Resolution. The first Target Zone represents Target 5 of my other script, Trade Manager()(Given that you set the Target Multiple and Default Threshold Inputs as the same in each script), and is the most likely to be hit before the end of the resolution period. In addition to a User-Defined Resolution, you also have the option of using a Custom Price to define Target Zones, however I'd recommend using my other script, Trade Manager(), if the volatility of the Instrument isn't too high. I wanted to give a Special Thanks to @Pinecoders for the Custom RoundToTick Function from The Backtesting/Trading Engine --> ( If you like Price Predictor, be sure to Like, Follow, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to drop a comment below.

Trade ManagerGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com). This one is called Trade Manager. How To Use Trade Manager Trade Manager acquires potential targets by measuring the Average Change of Price from a user-defined resolution, from Open to Open. By default, the Resolution is set to 1 Day, however you can play around with Weekly, Monthly, etc. When a new resolution period begins, Trade Manager will automatically adjust its Targets based on the new Average Change of Price. Due to the avoidance of Security() in this script, you may have to play around with the Timeframe that you use it in to ensure that you have enough bars on your chart to process the User-Defined Resolution. The idea behind Trade Manager is quite simple yet can be quite powerful at the same time. Consider a Daily Candle for example. You can clearly see how a vast amount of price movement can be encapsulated within it, sometimes in both directions. By measuring the Average Change of Price per day(From Open to Open), we can use this Average to build targets off of. Defining a small Threshold above and below the Open Price of the Daily Candle allows you to set Limit Orders at these levels with predefined Targets. Then, the use of the custom Trailing Stop and Break Even helps to secure profits without giving too much back to the market, all while managing your risk. Within the Settings of Trade Manager, you have the option to alter the logic of whether Break-Even is set after the first Target or second Target is hit. In addition to using a User-Defined Resolution Period, you can also input a Custom Price into the settings of Trade Manager and allow the Targets, Trailing Stop, and Break Even to be calculated from the Custom Price. I wanted to give a Special Thanks to @PineCoders for the Custom RoundToTick Function from The Backtesting/Trading Engine --> () As a note, there are times where price will break out very strongly from the Limit Price, sometimes crossing the Stop and Limit Price on the same bar. When this happens, it is difficult for Pine to determine which occurred first intra-bar, and as a result, it does not record a new position. In these instances, I'd recommend adjusting the Default Stop Multiple so it is below the bar. If you like Trade Manager, be sure to Like, Follow, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to drop a comment below.

MACD Strategy with trailing ATR stopThis is a trend based strategy that uses EMA and SMA intersection for determining the direction of the trend and MACD for the entry signal. At the same time, the strategy uses ATR, which is working as a trailing stop. The strategy entry will work when the Trend ribbon will turn green and MACD line will crossover the signal line. This strategy also takes into account the pyramiding and allows to enter the second time if the signal will repeat itself. There are 3 exit points. The first 10% of the position will be closed when the price will increase by 1%. The second portion of 50% will be closed when the price reaches 5% Take profit target. The remaining 40 % of the position will wait for the exit signal which will occur when the price closes below the ATR line. The strategy is using a fixed amount in dollars, each time the entry occurs the strategy will enter with 100$ in the order. The strategy can be applied to other crypto assets. However, they will require input changes. Best of luck with your trading.

ATR BandsIt has happened to everybody. You enter the market, the position gets a stop loss, then later the market goes in the direction you originally planned. Worse yet - you enter a position, the market goes in your favor, gets near the target, and then it reverses and you get stopped. We brazilians call this a "violinado", or getting violinated. It happens either because: 1. You put the stop loss too close, or the target too far 2. You entered in the right direction, but at a wrong time While the second point cannot be programmly adressed, the first can. One popular way of setting a stop loss is by using the average of the true range, it even has a built-in indicator in TV. The problem with it is that you can still get violinated, since as the trend develops, the stop loss only goes up, never down. So if you enter at the wrong time, one slip can still take you out of the market. Since I got sick of losing money using a conventional stop loss, I made these ATR bands. When you add this indicator to your graph, 6 lines are going to show up, 3 above the price, 3 below it. These lines are calculated from the ATR of the last 20 periods (can be configurated). The upper lines are the high of the last candle + the ATR * the multiplicator factor, the lower lines are the low - ATR * multiplicator factor. There are three multiplicator factors: 1.0, 1.618 and 2.0, and you change them to be whatever you want. The logic behind it is that theses bands represents the region in which the market is more likely to stay. So if you enter the market at 50.00, you can't expect it to reach 500.00 in the next hour if the ATR is 5.00. And if you set the stop loss at 49.99, it is very likely that the market is going to stop you. By using the ATR bands, you can get a more reasonable price range, so you would set the stop loss at 45.00 and the take profit level at 60.00. There are two types os ATR you can use: the regular, calculated with RMA, and another using a custom WMA, which puts greater emphasis on large amplitudes. By default, the average uses the past 20 true ranges. You can also choose to use either the closing price or the extremes of the candle as a basis. Another thing I've added is the violation statistics, which shows the percentages of the times that a band was violated in the next 5 candles (can be configurated). With this, you can get a broader view on the probability of the bands actually being reached. You may have notice that the bands are lagged by 1 period. I did this so that there is no way you can use future data. You can disable it or increase it, but I recommend just letting it be 1. These bands are the range in which the price is most likely to stay in, if you change the lag you are essentially breaking it's whole purpose.

Moving Average EntanglementThis script uses the gap in moving averages standardized to the average true range to determine entry and exit points. The red line represents the current percentage of ATR that is deemed "The Dead Zone" - a move that is too small to be reliable. The histogram represents the gap between moving averages. When the histogram is above the red line, it confirms a breakout move. The dashed line an be used as a secondary filter and is a moving average of the histogram. When Standard Deviation mode is on, a third line is displayed, which represents how many standard Deviations the current histogram bar represents, and can be also used as a filter.

Daily GAP StatsI did not write the script from scratch but rather started editing code of an existing one. The original code came from a script called GAP DETECTOR by @Asch- First up: I am a trader, not a programmer and therefore my code most likely is inefficient. If someone with more expertise would like to help and optimize it - feel free to get in touch, I am always happy to learn some new tricks. :) This script does 2 things: - It shows daily gaps stats based on user inputs - It shows color coded labels on gap days with additional information in tooltips ( important: make sure to read 'known issues/limitations' at the end ) User Inputs ========== Although the input dialog is pretty straight forward, I do a quick rundown: - Length: max lookback time - Gap Direction: self explanatory - Show All Gaps | Cont Only | Reversal Only | Off: This refers to the way labels are displayed on gap days (again: make sure to read known issues/limitations!) - Show All Gaps: does what it says - Cont Only: only shows gaps where price continued in the gap direction. If you filter for gap ups and chose 'Cont only' you will only see labels on gap days where price closed above the open (and vice versa if you scan for gap downs). - Reversal Only: you will only see labels for closes below the open on gap up days (and the opposite on gap down days) - Off: self explanatory - Gap Measure in ATR/PCT: self explanatory, ATR is calculated over a 10d period - Gap Size (Abs Values): no negative values allowed here. If you filter for gap downs and enter 3 it means it will show gaps where the stock fell more than 3 ATR/PCT on the open. - RVOL Factor: along with significant gaps should come significant volume. RVOL = volume of the gap day / 20d average volume - Viewing Options: Placing the stats label in the window is a bit tricky (see knonw issues/limitations) and I was not sure which way I liked better. See for yourself what works best for you. Known Isusses/Limitations: ======================= - Positioning of the stats table: As to my knowledge, Tradingview only allows label positioning relative to price and not relative to the chart window. I tried to always display the gap stats table in the upper right corner, using 52wk high as y-coordinate. This works ok most of the time, but is not pretty. If anybody has some fancy way to tag the label in a fixed position, please get in touch. - Max number of labels per script: TradingView has a limitation that allows a maxium of ~50 labels per script. If there are more labels, TradingView will automatically cut the oldest ones, without any notification. I have found this behaviour to be rather inconsistent - sometimes it'll dump labels even if there are a lot fewer than 50. Hopefully TradingView will drop this limitation at one point in the future. Important: The inconsistent display of the gap day labels has NO INFLUENCE on the calculations in the gap stats table - the count and the calculations are complete and correct!

MA Trailing StopA Trailing Stop indicator that uses a multiple of ATR below a SMA/EMA line. Support long positions only. Configurables: 1. Use SMA or EMA 2. MA Period 3. ATR multiplier 4. ATR look back period The bottom of the red area indicates the stop line. The top of the red area indicates the reference MA line. Ideal use case is you find your a red area that covers most local lows. The stop line moves up with MA, but does not move down if MA moves down. If moves down (re-calculates itself) only when a low penetrates the stop line.

Chandelier Exit | SAR/Long Only (4CUP)As introduced by StockCharts.com, Chandelier Exit was developed by Charles Le Beau and featured in Alexander Elder's books, this sets a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR). Chandelier Exit can be formulated as a stop-and-reverse (SAR) or as a traditional trailing stop-loss version shown by Stockcharts.com. The main difference is that, in SAR version, the indicator is usually formulated in a higher of previous or spot indicator (HPS) for long and lower of previous and spot indicator (LPS) for short position. This indicator is coded to show both the SAR version and the traditional one shown by Stockcharts.com (for long position) by simply clicking a tick in the Version box. The ATR multiplier is relaxed to allow non-integer input, like 3.5, 4.25, ... for a greater flexibility to tailor your best-fit exit strategy. If you find this indicator is useful to you, Star it, Follow, Donate, Like and Share. Your support is a highly motivation for me.
