Dynamic Chandelier Exit Trader [KedArc Quant])

Dynamic Chandelier Exit Trader (DCET)

The Dynamic Chandelier Exit Trader (DCET) builds upon the classical Chandelier Exit indicator by combining volatility-based stop placement with risk-reward exit logic. It is designed to provide clear buy/sell flip signals, making it adaptable across multiple trading environments.
Market Suitability

The DCET is most effective under the following market conditions:
1. Trending Markets (Upward or Downward)
- Strong performance when price is in a clear directional trend.
- Buy signals align with uptrends, sell signals align with downtrends.
- Works well on stocks, forex pairs, and crypto during trending phases.

2. Breakout Environments:
- Captures moves when price breaks out of consolidations.
- ATR-based stop dynamically adjusts to volatility expansion.
- Effective for traders who like catching the first move after breakouts.

3. Sideways / Range-Bound Markets:
- DCET tends to generate more frequent flip signals in sideways conditions.
- May lead to whipsaws, but can still be used with reduced ATR length or by combining with a trend filter (e.g., moving average direction).

4. All Markets (with Adjustments):
- Works universally but requires tuning.
- In highly volatile markets (e.g., crypto), a higher ATR multiplier may reduce false signals.
- In stable, slower-moving markets (e.g., large-cap equities), smaller ATR multipliers improve responsiveness.
