ATR Buy, Target, Stop + OverlayATR Buy, Target, Stop + Overlay
This tool is to assist traders with precise trade planning using the Average True Range (ATR) as a volatility-based reference.
This script plots buy, target, and stop-loss levels on the chart based on a user-defined buy price and ATR-based multipliers, allowing for objective and adaptive trade management.
*NOTE* In order for the indicator to initiate plotted lines and table values a non-zero number must be entered into the settings.
What It Does:
Buy Price Input: Users enter a manual buy price (e.g., an executed or planned trade entry).
ATR-Based Target and Stop: The script calculates:
Target Price = Buy + (ATR × Target Multiplier)
Stop Price = Buy − (ATR × Stop Multiplier)
Customizable Timeframe: Optionally override the ATR timeframe (e.g., use daily ATR on a 1-hour chart).
Visual Overlay: Lines are drawn directly on the price chart for the Buy, Target, and Stop levels.
Interactive Table: A table is displayed with relevant levels and ATR info.
Customization Options:
Line Settings:
Adjust color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width for Buy, Target, and Stop lines.
Choose whether to extend lines rightward only or in both directions.
Table Settings:
Choose position (top/bottom, left/right).
Toggle individual rows for Buy, Target, Stop, ATR Timeframe, and ATR Value.
Customize text color and background transparency.
How to Use It for Trading:
Plan Your Trade: Enter your intended buy price when planning a trade.
Assess Risk/Reward: The script immediately visualizes the potential stop-loss and target level, helping assess R:R ratios.
Adapt to Volatility: Use ATR-based levels to scale stop and target dynamically depending on current market volatility.
Higher Timeframe ATR: Select a different timeframe for the ATR calculation to smooth noise on lower timeframe charts.
On-the-Chart Reference: Visually track trade zones directly on the price chart—ideal for live trading or strategy backtesting.
Ideal For:
Swing traders and intraday traders
Risk management and trade planning
Traders using ATR-based exits or scaling
Visualizing asymmetric risk/reward setups
How I Use This:
After entering a trade, adding an entry price will plot desired ATR target and stop level for visualization.
Adjusting ATR multiplier values assists in evaluating and planning trades.
Visualization assists in comparing ATR multiples to recent support and resistance levels.

Average True Range - ImprovedAverage True Range - Improved is a small variation I have made to the standard ATR indicator. It will test the current ATR against the Historic Average ATR of your preference to see if the current volatility is high or low.
Once it has determined if it is high or low it will color code the circles at the top based on this information. Green means the current volatility is low and red means the current volatility is higher than the historic average.
In the settings I have also placed a couple styles, if you wish to show the ATR and Historic ATR in percent format instead of normal you can turn them on in the style settings. If you are using the percent format I recommend setting the Precision to 2-3 decimal places.
I hope you all enjoy this indicator, if you have any questions please feel free to post them in the comments.
ATR vs Day Trading Range and PercentageThis indicator displays the Current Daily ATR vs the current Day Range and displays the percentage.
For example if the Daily ATR is $5 and the current range of the day is $10 this would be 200% the original move.
It is color coded (and can be modified) to change color when the Daily range is over 100% the ATR.
The time frame can be changed from Daily just be aware you must be on a lower timeframe then selected. So if you want to compare the current 30 minute ATR to the current 30 minute range you will need to be showing a 30 min chart or lower for it to calculate correctly.
