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 This can achieve good smoothness but higher values will lead to using outdated price in the SL area calculation.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!
Average True Range (ATR)
ATR-warningLarge candles are not always a suitable place to trade, or it could be the perfect place to trade.
This script plots a small rectangle at the top of the chart when a candle is larger than the specified ATR.
KAMA Strategy - Kaufman's Adaptive Moving AverageThis strategy combines Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average for entry with optional KAMA, PSAR, and Trailing ATR stops for exits.
Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average is, in my opinion, a gem among the plethora of indicators. It is underrated considering it offers a solution that intuitively makes a lot of sense. When I first read about it, it was a real 'aha!' moment. Look at the top, pink line. Notice how during trending times it follows the trend quickly and closely, but during choppy, non-trending periods, the KAMA stays absolutely flat? Interesting! To trade with it, we simply follow the direction the KAMA is pointing. Is it up? Go long. Is it down? Go short. Is it flat? Hold on.
How does it manage to quickly follow real trends like a fast EMA but ignore choppy conditions that would whipsaw a fast EMA back and forth? It analyses whether recent price moves are significant relative to recent noise and then adapts the length of the EMA window accordingly. If price movement is big compared to the recent noise, the EMA window gets smaller. If price movement is relatively small or average compared to the recent noise, the EMA window gets bigger. In practice it means:
The KAMA would be flat if a 20 point upwards move occurred during a period that has had, on average, regular 20 point moves BUT
the KAMA would point up if a 20 point move occurred during a period that has, on average, had moves of only around 5 points.
In other words, it's a slow EMA during choppy flat / quiet flat periods, and a fast EMA as soon as significant volatility occurs. Perfect!

The Strategy
The strategy is more than just a KAMA indicator. It contains:
KAMA exit (optional)
ATR trailing stop loss exit (optional)
PSAR stop loss exit (optional)
KAMA filter for entry and exits
All features are adjustable in the strategy settings
The Technical Details:
Check out the strategy's 'Inputs' panel. The buy and sell signals are based on the 'KAMA 1' there.
KAMA 1: Length -- 14 is the default. This is the length of the window the KAMA looks back over. In this instance, it c
KAMA 1: Fast KAMA Length -- 2 is the default. This is the tightest the EMA length is allowed to get. It will tend towards this length when volatility is high.
KAMA 1: Slow KAMA Length -- 20 is the default. This is the biggest the EMA length is allowed to get. It will tend towards this length when volatility is low.
KAMA Filter
The strategy buys when the KAMA begins to point up and sells when the KAMA points down. Generally, the KAMA is very good at filtering out the noise itself - it will go flat during noisy/choppy periods. But to add another layer of safety, its author, Perry Kaufman, proposed a KAMA filter. It works by taking the standard deviation of returns over the length of the the 'KAMA 1: Length' I mentioned above and multiplying it by an 'Entry Filter' (1 by default) and 'Exit Filter' (0.5 by default). The entry condition to go long is that the KAMA is pointing up and and it moved up more than 1 x St. Dev. of Returns. The exit condition is when the KAMA is pointing down and it moved down by more than 0.5 x St. Dev. of Returns.

Decomposed Average True RangeThis simple script decomposes the value of the Average True Range into a bullish component and a bearish component .
The script supports two plotting methods; Mirrored and Two Lines . If Mirrored is chosen, the indicator plots the bullish component as a positive number, and the bearish component as a negative number. If Two Lines is chosen, the indicator plots two lines, both of positive values. It is the same data, just visualized differently.
Side note: This is very similar to how the strength (average gain) part in the Relative Strength Index calculation works. However, the RSI uses the realized range (close - previous close) rather than true range. If we were to use the bullish component of the ATR as the average bullish gain part in the RSI calculation, and the bearish component of the ATR as the average bearish gain part in the RSI calculation, we would get very similar (but not equal) results to the standard RSI. This shows how the ATR and the RSI are related to each other.
MA, MATR, ChEx | All in One - 4CR CUPIn trade position setup, we always need to determine the market structure and manage the position sizing in a short period of decision time. Indicators such as moving average, initial stop loss and trailing stop loss are always helpful.
This indicator put all these handy tools into a single toolkit, which includes the following price action and risk management indicators:
MA - Moving Average
MATR - Moving Average less Average True Range
ChEx - Chandelier Exit
This script further enhances the setting so that you can easily customize the indicators.
For both the Moving Averages and the Moving Average less Average True Range , you can pick a type of moving average which suits your analysis style from a list of commonly used moving average formulations: namely, EMA , HMA , RMA, SMA and WMA , where EMA is selected as default.
The Moving Average less Average True Range , MATR, is usually applied as a reference to set the initial stop loss whenever opening a new position.
The abbreviation, MATR, is picked, so that this can serve as a handy reminder of a very good trading framework as elaborates as below:
M – Market Structure
A – Area of Value
T – Trigger
R – Risk Management (aka. Exit Strategy)
MA Candles Supertrend StrategySimple strategy which is derived by below method:
1. Calculate moving average of High, Low, Open and Close and make candles of them.
2. Derive supertrend on the moving average candles.
3. Generate buy and sell signals based on supertrend direction combined with higher timeframe high-low condition
Position Size Calculator - Fixed Dollar amount, point value ATRHello Traders,
A very simple code aiming to help you size your position, according to the amount you're accepting to lose AND the current volatility ATR.
Why is it important to use ATR size ? Markets move, and having fixed stoploss values will lead to getting stopped out in case of volatility increase.
You also need to size down your trades in case of more volatily, as more points can be taken or lost.
Hope it helps!
Kudos to Racer9 who inspired me :
ATR Stop PriceSet stop price and add-position price according to the cost and current ATR.
You may set an alert with the condition when the stock price crossing down the Stop Price.
Example:
stock price: $150
volatility multiple: 2
current ATR: $3
stop price = $150 - $3 * 2 = $144
add-position price = $150 + $3 * 2 / 2 = $153
HalfTrendA popular trend indicator based on ATR. Similar to the SuperTrend but uses a different trend's identification logic.
I am publishing a disclosed code without license. Remember that in the future you may see a lot of paid IO scripts called BuySellScalper, Trend Trader Karan, Trend Trader and etc (by other authors) which will be based on this script. I found the same script on Ebay for $10 with a free shipping. Beware, always check and follow one Russian wisdom: "Do not pay for something you can get for free".
ATR-DAY TRADER AHINSTEAD OF HAVING AN EXTRA TAB AT BOTTOM OF THE CHART THIS ATR DOES THE SAME WORK WITHOUT GIVING ANY ADDITIONAL TABS. IT JUST GIVES A VALUE AT THE LEFT HAND SIDE TOP, WHERE WE SEE ALL OUR INDICATOR SETTINGS DISPLAYED. AS ATR IS USED MAJORLY FOR SETTING UP PROPER STOPLOSS THE ONLY THING I PERSONALY NEED IN HANDY IS THE VALUE AT THE SIDE.
HOPE THAT THIS HELPS FOR MANY PEOPLE AROUND THERE WHO DO NOT WISH TO MAKE THE SCREEN COMPACT AND LOOK LOST WHILE TRADING BY ADDING TO MANY INDICATORS.
THANKS & REGARDS -

G-ATR Box V.1Hello this is my new adapt indicator "G-ATR Box V.1"
It's just nearly normal ATR but I create in box color. My problem when I use ATR trailing stop my screen is not clean and when I use finonacci or trend line is hard to see.
How to use
Blue = Pre-buy : Waiting for another buy signal
Green = Buy : Holding the stock
Yellow = Weak uptrend : Waiting for Sell signal
Red = Sell
In this screen I compare G-ATR Box(above) with G-MACD color(below)
When the stock strong uptend all of G-ATR and G-MACD is very work and When weak uptrend G-ATR is action frist but beware Bear trap too
goodluck
Auto Position Sizing Risk RewardThe Auto Position Sizing Risk Reward indicator shows different Risk levels 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 based on your risk amount and uses an auto Stoploss level based on the ATR.
You can set the values for the "Note or Title", "Risk Amount", "Entry", "Target Price", "Stop Loss Distance", "Default Risk/Reward" and ATR settings.
The "auto" part comes into play when you haven't yet set an Entry value, which will make everything update according to the latest Closing price of the asset.
Once you set the Entry price, the Risk/Reward levels will stop updating their positions and stay in place. This allows you to dynamically see your potential Risk/Reward as the market progresses, as well as locking in your Risk/Reward levels once you are ready to enter a position.
Your Position Size as well as actual Stoploss level and Cost is displayed along with the other values in the textbox that floats next to the R/R levels.
This indicator was inspired by and relies heavily on the work done by zzzcrypto123 and NXT2017 in their indicators, but I felt that this version is unique enough to hopefully be of use to the general community.
I hope this helps you to trade better! Please feel free to improve it and provide suggestions.
Running Bound based on ATR multiplierThis script basically uses default ATR and then
Multiplies with ATR multiplier (3 for crypto and 2 for forex) - you can change the values from the settings if you like
Adds/subtracts from the current price
And tries to find a bound on both side of price
VBand StrategyVBand Strategy is simply used Vwap funcation and atr 14 for find the entry and exit points. This simple Strategy.
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)
ATR PercentageThis indicator plots ATR as percentage of close price. Also applying bollinger bands on it to visualize it is relatively high or low.
[JRL] ATR Pivot PointsThis indicator plots pivot points with support and resistance lines based on average true range (ATR). ATR is one of the best volatility and trading range predictors, so it can be very useful for finding confluence in any strategy.
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.
