Liquidity VisualizerThe "Liquidity Visualizer" indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential areas of liquidity on a price chart. In trading, liquidity often accumulates around key levels where market participants have placed their stop orders or pending orders. These levels are commonly found at significant highs and lows, where traders tend to set their stop-losses or take-profit orders. The indicator aims to highlight these areas by drawing unbroken lines that extend indefinitely until breached by the price action.
Specifically, this indicator identifies and marks pivot highs and pivot lows, which are price levels where a trend changes direction. When a pivot high or pivot low is formed, it is represented on the chart with a horizontal line that continues to extend until the price touches or surpasses that level. The line remains in place as long as the level remains unbroken, which means there is potential liquidity still resting at that level.
The concept behind this indicator is that liquidity is likely to be resting at unbroken pivot points. These levels are areas where stop-loss orders or pending buy/sell orders may have accumulated, making them attractive zones for large market participants, such as institutions, to target. By visualizing these unbroken levels, traders can gain insight into where liquidity might be concentrated and where potential price reversals or significant movements could occur as liquidity is taken out.
The indicator helps traders make more informed decisions by showing them key price levels that may attract significant market activity. For instance, if a trader sees multiple unbroken pivot high lines above the current price, they might infer that there is a cluster of liquidity in that area, which could lead to a price spike as those levels are breached. Similarly, unbroken pivot lows may indicate areas where downside liquidity is concentrated.
In summary, this indicator acts as a "liquidity visualizer," providing traders with a clear, visual representation of potential liquidity resting at significant pivot points. This information can be valuable for understanding where price might be drawn to, and where large movements might occur as liquidity is targeted and removed by market participants.
Stop-loss
Trailing Stop ProTrailing Stop Pro is a sophisticated TradingView indicator designed to enhance your trading strategy by dynamically managing trailing stops based on market volatility. This tool leverages the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust stop levels, providing traders with a robust mechanism to protect profits and minimize losses.
Key Features:
Dynamic Trailing Stops: Automatically adjusts stop levels using ATR, allowing for responsive and adaptive risk management.
Customizable Inputs: Tailor the indicator to your trading style with adjustable parameters such as ATR Length, ATR Multiplier, and Source Vector.
Visual Clarity: Distinct color settings for long and short stops, with adjustable line thickness and transparency, ensuring clear visualization on your charts.
Professional Grade: The "Pro" designation signifies advanced features suitable for both novice and experienced traders seeking reliable and efficient stop management.
How It Works:
To set up the indicator, begin by defining the Chrono Point, which specifies the exact time you want the trailing stop mechanism to activate. This allows for precise control over when your stops begin to trail. Next, set the Credit Unit as the initial entry price for your trade, serving as the baseline from which the trailing stops will adjust.
The indicator uses ATR-based adjustments to determine stop levels. Customize the sensitivity of the trailing stop by adjusting the ATR Length (default is 14) and ATR Multiplier (default is 0.5). A longer ATR length smooths out volatility, while a higher multiplier increases the distance of the stop from the price.
Select your Source Vector from "High/Low," "Close," or "Open" prices as the basis for stop calculation. This flexibility allows you to align the indicator with your preferred trading strategy. The indicator plots trailing stops directly on the chart, with color-coded lines indicating long (teal) and short (red) positions. You can adjust the line thickness and transparency for optimal visibility.
The Mission Status feature automatically detects whether the trade is long or short and adjusts the trailing stop accordingly. If the price hits the trailing stop, the trade is considered exited, and the indicator calculates the profit or loss percentage.
Benefits:
Risk Management: Protect your trades from adverse market movements while locking in profits as prices move favorably.
Automation: Reduce manual intervention with automatic stop adjustments, allowing you to focus on strategic decision-making.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive settings and clear visual cues make it easy to integrate into your existing trading workflow.
Conclusion:
Trailing Stop Pro is an essential tool for traders looking to enhance their risk management strategies with precision and ease. By automating the trailing stop process and providing clear visual feedback, this indicator empowers you to navigate the markets with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting, Trailing Stop Pro offers the functionality and flexibility needed to optimize your trading performance.
The Trailing Stop Pro indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in managing risk and optimizing their trading strategies. However, it should not be considered as financial advice or a guarantee of profitability. Trading involves significant risk, and it is possible to lose more than your initial investment. Users are encouraged to thoroughly test the indicator in a demo environment and consider their own financial situation and risk tolerance before using it in live trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should seek advice from a qualified financial advisor if needed.
Fibonacci-Only StrategyFibonacci-Only Strategy
This script is a custom trading strategy designed for traders who leverage Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential trade entries and exits. The strategy is versatile, allowing users to trade across multiple timeframes, with built-in options for dynamic stop loss, trailing stops, and take profit levels.
Key Features:
Custom Fibonacci Levels:
This strategy calculates three specific Fibonacci retracement levels: 19%, 82.56%, and the reverse 19% level. These levels are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance where price reversals or breaks might occur.
The Fibonacci levels are calculated based on the highest and lowest prices within a 100-bar period, making them dynamic and responsive to recent market conditions.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:
Touch Entry: The script enters long or short positions when the price touches specific Fibonacci levels and confirms the move with a bullish (for long) or bearish (for short) candle.
Break Entry (Optional): If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script can also enter positions when the price breaks through Fibonacci levels, providing more aggressive entry opportunities.
Stop Loss Management:
The script offers flexible stop loss settings. Users can choose between a fixed percentage stop loss or an ATR-based stop loss, which adjusts based on market volatility.
The ATR (Average True Range) stop loss is multiplied by a user-defined factor, allowing for tailored risk management based on market conditions.
Trailing Stop Mechanism:
The script includes an optional trailing stop feature, which adjusts the stop loss level as the market moves in favor of the trade. This helps lock in profits while allowing the trade to run if the trend continues.
The trailing stop is calculated as a percentage of the difference between the entry price and the current market price.
Multiple Take Profit Levels:
The strategy calculates seven take profit levels, each at incremental percentages above (for long trades) or below (for short trades) the entry price. This allows for gradual profit-taking as the market moves in the trade's favor.
Each take profit level can be customized in terms of the percentage of the position to be closed, providing precise control over exit strategies.
Strategy Backtesting and Results:
Realistic Backtesting:
The script has been backtested with realistic account sizes, commission rates, and slippage settings to ensure that the results are applicable to actual trading scenarios.
The backtesting covers various timeframes and markets to ensure the strategy's robustness across different trading environments.
Default Settings:
The script is published with default settings that have been optimized for general use. These settings include a 15-minute timeframe, a 1.0% stop loss, a 2.0 ATR multiplier for stop loss, and a 1.5% trailing stop.
Users can adjust these settings to better fit their specific trading style or the market they are trading.
How It Works:
Long Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a long position when the price touches the 19% Fibonacci level (from high to low) or the reverse 19% level (from low to high) and confirms the move with a bullish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a long position when the price breaks below the 19% Fibonacci level and then moves back up, confirming the break with a bullish candle.
Short Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a short position when the price touches the 82.56% Fibonacci level and confirms the move with a bearish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a short position when the price breaks above the 82.56% Fibonacci level and then moves back down, confirming the break with a bearish candle.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
The stop loss for each trade is calculated based on the selected method (fixed percentage or ATR-based). The strategy then manages the trade by either trailing the stop or taking profit at predefined levels.
The take profit levels are set at increments of 0.5% above or below the entry price, depending on whether the position is long or short. The script gradually exits the trade as these levels are hit, securing profits while minimizing risk.
Usage:
For Fibonacci Traders:
This script is ideal for traders who rely on Fibonacci retracement levels to find potential trade entries and exits. The script automates the process, allowing traders to focus on market analysis and decision-making.
For Trend and Swing Traders:
The strategy's flexibility in handling both touch and break entries makes it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies. The multiple take profit levels allow traders to capture profits in trending markets while managing risk.
Important Notes:
Originality: This script uniquely combines Fibonacci retracement levels with dynamic stop loss management and multiple take profit levels. It is not just a combination of existing indicators but a thoughtful integration designed to enhance trading performance.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and it is crucial to test this script in a demo account or through backtesting before applying it to live trading. Users should ensure that the settings align with their individual risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Dynamic Stop Loss DemoWhat does this script do ?
This script is for pine script programmers and explains how to implement a dynamic stop-loss strategy. It is different from trailing stop-loss. Trailing stop-loss can only set the retracement value, but this script can take profit on part of the position at a fixed price and allows users to decide whether to take profit on all positions based on whether a certain track is breached or other conditions author want. In this demo, it use rsi crossover and crossunder to decide the strategy condition, and use close price as open price, and use lowest low / highest high as stop price, and use 1.5 risk ratio to calculate the fixed first profit price. It will take 50% position size when the first profit price was reached. Then it will close all rest positions when the inverse condition come out or the dynamic stop(calculated by ATR) breached or when the price back to the open price or the stop price.
How is this script implemented
When start strategy by strategy.entry , it gives a custom id which contains direction, openPrice, stopPrice, profitPrice, qty, etc. It can be get from the global variable strategy.posiition_entry_name .
[TTI] ATR Trailing Stop Alerts––––HISTORY & CREDITS 🏦
The Trailing Stop Alert is a TradingView indicator developed by TintinTrading, which is designed to help traders manage their positions by updating and alerting them about their trailing stop levels. This tool is a valuable addition to a trader's arsenal, as it automates the process of maintaining trailing stop levels and alerts the user when they are updated or hit.
––––WHAT IT DOES 💡
The Trailing Stop Alert indicator calculates trailing stop levels based on the Average True Range (ATR) of an asset over a specified lookback period. It takes user inputs for trail type (Long or Short), lookback period, ATR length, ATR multiplier, and bar time. The indicator can be applied to any financial instrument and will dynamically update the trailing stop level based on price action. When the trailing stop level is updated or hit, the indicator generates alerts to inform the user of these events.
––––HOW TO USE IT 🔧
1. Add the Trailing Stop Alert indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Configure the settings according to your preferred parameters:
👉Trail Type: Choose between "Long" or "Short" based on your trading position.
👉Lookback: Set the number of bars to look back for determining the highest high or lowest low.
👉ATR Length: Set the period for calculating the Average True Range.
👉ATR Multiplier: Set the multiplier to adjust the trailing stop distance.
👉Bar Time: Set the time at which the indicator starts updating the trailing stop levels.
3. The indicator will plot the trailing stop level on the chart, and update it as the price action unfolds.
4. When the trailing stop level is updated or hit, you will receive an alert in the form of a message with the new level or a notification that the stop has been hit.
5. Adjust your stop loss orders accordingly based on the trailing stop levels provided by the indicator.
By using the Trailing Stop Alert indicator, you can effectively manage your positions and reduce the risk of giving back profits in a trade.
Trailing Stop AlertsThis script is designed as an ATR-based trailing stop tool to assist in managing open positions.
Once you're involved in a profitable trade, if you add this script to your chart you'll be prompted to select a bar to begin trailing from.
You can then adjust the candle lookback distance for swing high/lows (7 by default), the ATR multiplier (1.0 by default), and the direction to trail (Long/Short).
You can also adjust the ATR period in the settings menu if you want to (14 period by default).
Once the script is added to your chart, it will begin drawing your trailing stop and you can then set up alerts.
Alert Options:
Any alert() function call : Will trigger an alert for both conditions (trailing stop updated, trailing stop hit)
Alert Conditions : Trailing Stop Update will trigger whenever the stop is updated, Trailing Stop Hit will trigger whenever the stop is hit.
Note: the alerts will only fire once per bar close and the trailing stop will not update on realtime bars.
Moving Stop-Loss mechanism + alerts to MT4/MT5"How to code moving stop-loss mechanism", is one of the most often repeating questions in private messages I receive, so just to focus on this mechanism, I made a spin-off from my previous script: TradingView-Alerts-to-MT4-MT5-dynamic-variables-NON-REPAINTING .
The logic here moves the stop-loss each time a trade is running and a new pivot high/low is detected. When such event occurs (UpdateLongStopLoss or UpdateShortStopLoss), stoploss_long or stoploss_short mutable variable is modified. And it needs to be coded inside strategy.exit() line as "stop=stoploss_long" or "stop=stoploss_short". Entries are pretty straightforward - on Stoch crosses.
Last lines of the script show how to wrap information about such updates and send send alerts to MetaTrader via TradingConnector for execution in Forex/indices/commodities/crypto markets via MetaTrader. Please note that "tradeid=" variable must be passed with each alert, to let MetaTrader know which trade to modify. SLMOD, TPMOD are recently added commands, along with BE (as in "move stop-loss to breakeven" - but that's another topic).
Please disregard strategy backtest results, as this script is for coding education purposes only. However, it seems with the stop-loss mechanism enabled, the results are even better, than in original version of the script :)
ATR Stop Loss FinderThis Indicator uses Average True Range (ATR) to determine a safe place to put stop losses to avoid being stop hunted or stopped out of a trade due to a tight stop loss. Default multiplier setting is 1.5. For a more conservative stop loss use 2 and for a tighter stop loss use 1. ATR and stop loss prices are displayed in table at bottom of screen. Use high(red) for shorts and low(teal) for longs.
SL Hunter Tracker SL Hunter Tracker

SL Hunter Tracker is a meticulous hunter that tracks SL hunters.
First it plots the fractals on the chart, then it draws lines from them
to the last wick that touched that height. You can add sweep alerts, once
per bar close, so that you get notified when a wick was touched.

MultiPrice AlertThis is an alert script using Pinescript version 4. This enables one to set 5 alerts (1 StopLoss, 4 Targets), on 3 different symbols, at using a single alert in the UI.
Every visible line will only appear on the symbols that are selected. After setting targets when making an alert, select this indicator as a condition. Change the name to whatever you want, usually the names of the set of tickers.
The Alert message is dyanmic showing which Symbol with each type of alert, at whatever price.
Ability to disable the targets + symbols.
Alerts work by Stop Loss crossing under price and Targets Cross Over. Enabling the "Short" Targets reverses this.
The line that is being displayed is actually the price of the asset being moved over x number of bars. I have not found a way to plot a traditional horizontal line, as the code for it uses a fixed price.
As it being a user input, it is a variable. Any help with this would be appreicated.
Alerts are set to once per bar.
Known bug that sometimes if the prices that you set are inside the current candle stick, then your alert will immeaditally fire, either change the timeframe or let it fire and wait fo
After a target is hit, I reccomend setting the alert to 0 and REMAKING the alert. You MUST REMAKE THE ALERT AFTER ANY CHANGES. This script WILL NOT CHANGE ALERTS AS YOU CHANGE SETTINGS.
TradingView Alerts are not this smart , at least I haven't found a way to do this yet.

Supertrend / Position SizingSuperTrend with position sizing calculator.
This is based on SuperTrend by Kivanc. I only added the position size calculation and displaying the result.
Tiger's Stop - Objective Stoploss SettingTrading is a lot about risk management too. I created this script to help with setting and moving a proper stop-loss. It plots an area that is a result of adding and subtracting both average true range and something I call "false range".
►The Average True Range is calculated as the candle's high-low. If there is a gap, it is added to complete the result.
►My own False Range just candle bodies. It is calculated as an absolute value of (close-open).
Then, Rolling Moving Average is applied on both ATR and False Range to get an idea of how far the price tends to extend out of pure randomness. The resulting value is multiplied by a Multiplier.
The next step is an addition of the values to the higher part of the candle for short or a lower part of the candle for long. I prefer a special calculation instead of using Highs and Lows because it allows for more precise observation and stop-loss set up for less wicky symbols.
►►►Additional Functions
• Smoothing - applies moving average to candles from which range distance is calculated. This can achieve good smoothness but higher values will lead to using outdated price in the SL area calculation.
• Enable/Disable - if you know the direction you are going to trade in, it is good to disable either Long Stop-Loss Area or Short Stop-Loss Area. Just untick it in the settings.
►►►Actual Using
Before using the script to set your stop-loss, check the historical data and find a similar set-up. Is it engulfing you use as a trigger? Find a different one and see how effective the stop-loss based on the ATR*multiplier was. This will help you to optimize Multiplier value. A picture shows such research for a double top. You should find more similar situations to find an optimal value.
Ultimately, the indicator still gives you relatively a lot of freedom with your stop-loss settings (at least, that is with the default settings). You need to decide how loose stop-loss you want to set. Average True Range is the furthermost part which will make for a very large stop-loss, on the other hand, False Range might be triggered by a villainous wick unnecessarily. The choice should depend on the specific symbol you trade and perhaps, you will learn to set stops regardless of the indicator.
A little trick : 1. You can set the loosest stop-loss and set a TradingView alert for where the tightest stop-loss would be. When alerted, you will get the opportunity to reconsider the trade and take a loss if needs be or exit if a candle closes there. 2. Mostly for cryptocurrencies, you can set the tightest stop-loss to protect yourself from sudden spikes. If the price approaches it slowly enough, you can move the stop-loss to the further part of the channel. This is not the same as moving stop-loss indefinitely with hopes of reversal if you plan it from the beginning and a smaller stop is meant to protect you from spikes that are not always predictable and drive to both directions.
►►►Advantages of trailing stop-loss
I usually stick with my original stop-loss instead of moving to break even. If my entry area was functional support once, it may work again and is, therefore, still a good entry zone. But an alternative used to preserve as much of the profit as possible is trailing.
Trailing is setting a specific value in ticks or a calculation of how to move the stop-loss whenever the price moves in your favor. Tiger's Stop can be used this way. Whenever there is a new value as the candle closes and that value is closer to price than your current stop-loss, you can update it. However, if it moves further from your price, don't change the stop-loss. This can be a little tiresome if you do it manually but should be worth the effort.
I usually start trailing only after the price moves significantly in my favor that allowing it to return to the entry price would not make any sense.
►►►Feedback and optimization
The preview chart is chosen entirely at random and the values are not optimized for any specific symbol. If you opt to use it, let me know which values work for you the best, I'll add it to the description when I update it.
Furthermore, let me know if you think any sort of alerts would be useful with my script.
Good luck!

Anti-Volume Stop LossFINALLY!
As everyone who tried to create, understand, or even find the Buff Pelz Dormeier Anti-volume stop-loss indicator knows that - it's not easy. Personally, I have partially, or perhaps completely figured out, the tips Buff had given in Investing with Volume Analysis book.
AVSL now is ready.
Please do some test and give me a feedback how it works in your trade strategy.
Anti-Volume stop loss - AVSL
from Investing with Volume Analysis book CHAPTER 20 • RISKY BUSINESS 253-256:
"It is important in any risk-management process to predetermine an objective decision point level (a stop loss) to exit, thereby protecting principal in case you are wrong. My objective sell point is determined by using a quantitative formula I refer to as Anti-Volume Stop Loss (AVSL). Having a quantitative, yet intelligent sell point eliminates the emotional struggles involved in deciding when to exit a position.
AVSL is a technical methodology that incorporates the concepts of support, volatility, and, most importantly, the inverse relationship between price and volume. The AVSL combines the concepts of the VPCI (Volume Price Confirmation Indicator) and John Bollinger’s Bollinger Bands to create a trailing stop loss.
AVSL = Lower Bollinger Band – (Price, Length, Standard Deviation)
Where:
Length = Round (3 + VPCI)
Price = Average (Lows × 1 / VPC × 1 / VPR, Length)
Standard Deviation = 2 × (VPCI × VM)
One of the most difficult decisions is determining what one’s maximum loss threshold should be. Some say 2 percent; others say 20 percent. I believe the more volatile a security, the looser the stop should be. A nonvolatile security, such as Coca-Cola, might move 7 percent a year, while a volatile security such as Google might move 7 percent in a day. If you use a 7 percent stop for Coca-Cola, it might take a year to be stopped out while the security underperforms.
However, if you use 7 percent for Google, you can be stopped out intraday, not allowing the investment an opportunity to develop. By using the lower Bollinger Band of the securities lows, the AVSL considers each individual security’s own volatility. Thus, a volatile security would be granted more room of the stocks low while a stable security would have a tighter leash (see Figure 20.7).
The next important step is employing the price-volume relationship into the calculation. Volume gauges the power behind price moves. In accounting for this, when a security is in an uptrend and has positive volume characteristics, it is given more room. However, if the security exhibits contracting volume characteristics, then the stop is tightened. In this way, if a negative news event affects an unhealthy security, the stop is tighter, thus preserving more of your profits.
However, if the negative news event affects a security whose price-volume relationship is healthy, the stop has been loosened, avoiding the temporary whipsaw of an otherwise strong position. In these ways, AVSL lets the market decide when to exit your position.
AVSL tailors each security for support, volatility, and the pricevolume relationship based on an investor’s time frame as calculated from the chart data. For example, my portfolio positions are continually re-evaluated with this AVSL methodology, which yields the possibility of raising the decision point threshold periodically based on the time frame of my investment objective. With my short-term Giddy-up portfolios, I use daily chart data and seek to raise my maximum loss stop on a daily basis.
My intermediate ETF and stock positions are calculated off of weekly data and then re-evaluated weekly. With my longer term stock portfolios, the decision point is calculated off data revised monthly. This analytical approach that uses measurable facts over emotion or gut instincts allows me to maintain my objectivity. Thus objectivity, not emotion, informs my investment decisions."
How look mine AVSL:
Price component = low × 1/VPC × 1/VPR : for VPC > 1 and VPC < -1 | low × 1 × 1/VPR : for 1 > VPC > 0 | low × -1 × 1/VPR : for 0 > VPC > -1
AVSL Price = sma((low × 1/VPC × 1/VPR) , length) / 100
length = round : for VPCI > 0 | round [ absolute ] : for VPCI < 0 | 3 : for VPCI=0
Standard Deviation = mult × VPCI × VM)
AVSL = sma(Actual low price - AWSL Price + Standard Deviation, 26)
It's hard to say is it the same as in Buff Pelz Dormeier book, but I encourage you to modify the script for better results.

Percent Trailing Stop (%) - { FOR STUDY SCRIPTS }
===========
Wow - this is an example of how to implement Alerts relating to a Trailing Stop (%) within your Study Script. It's taken a bit of effort to get this working but I think we got there!
Alerts include Open Long/Short, Trailing Stop Hit, and (the most important one) Movement of Trailing Stop! <- this is actually really quite good, by the way! :)
You can ignore the actual entry/exit orders - they're based on a simple MA cross and are therefore NOT relevant, NOT profitable and NOT recommended!
You should be using this code as a way of adding a Trailing Stop to your own scripts - hope it helps!
Set your "Open Long/Short" Alert to "Once per Bar Close" - Set your "Trailing Stop Hit" Alert to "Once per Bar" - Set your "Move TSL" Alert to "Once per Bar Close". - You're all done! Enjoy.

ATR By Time [Chart]What is ATR By Time (Chart)?
This premium indicator is a companion script to my ATR By Time indicator.
This companion script draws your stop loss price to the chart directly. In the above example, the black line represents a regular 1x ATR stop loss above and below price action, while the colored lines are the 1x ATR By Time indicator values when set to use the "Smallest ATR" in the settings menu.
When set to "Smallest ATR", the script calculates the regular ATR and the ATR By Time of Day and compares the distance of the two values. It then selects whichever value is smaller to be used as the stop loss, and adds or subtracts it to the most recent swing high or low (or the closing price if desired).
This allows for tighter stops and larger position sizing during certain times of day for aggressive traders when set to Smallest ATR, or wider stop losses during more volatile periods of the day for conservative traders when set to Largest ATR.
Stop Loss Distance Options:
- Regular ATR
- ATR By Time
- Smallest ATR
- Largest ATR
More Information
Similar to my RVOL By Time indicator, the ATR By Time indicator works on any market that has consistent trading session lengths . So it works best on Forex & Crypto, but also works on some Stock and Futures markets.
Instead of calculating the ATR based on recent price data like the regular ATR indicator, it calculates an ATR value for each candle based on that candle’s time of day .
For example, if you set the Lookback setting on this indicator to 14, then instead of calculating the ATR based on the past 14 candles, it will calculate an ATR value based on the past 14 trading sessions for each candle (as an average).
So in other words, your 10:00AM candle will show the average of the past 14 10:00AM candles rather than the past 14 candles leading up to that 10:00AM candle.
This is extremely useful for day traders in particular as it allows you to gauge the average range of candles during certain times of day instead of only by the most recent price action.
It also draws a regular ATR (optional) – so this is essentially an enhanced ATR script that gives you multiple readings on price volatility.
If you are interested in trying the script or you want more information on how the script works, there is more information available on my website including instructions on how to apply for a free trial: ATR By Time Feature Page .
Good luck with your trading!
