atr stop loss for double SMA v6Strategy Name
atr stop loss for double SMA v6
Credit: This v6 update is based on Daveatt’s “BEST ATR Stop Multiple Strategy.”
Core Logic
Entry: Go long when the 15-period SMA crosses above the 45-period SMA; go short on the inverse cross.
Stop-Loss: On entry, compute ATR(14)×2.0 and set a fixed stop at entry ± that amount. Stop remains static until hit.
Trend Tracking: Uses barssince() to ensure only one active long or short position; stop is only active while that trend persists.
Visualization
Plots fast/slow SMA lines in teal/orange.
On each entry bar, displays a label showing “ATR value” and “ATR×multiple” positioned at the 30-bar low (long) or high (short).
Draws an “×” at the stop-price level in green (long) or red (short) while the position is open.
Execution Settings
Initial Capital: $100 000, Size = 100 shares per trade.
Commission: 0.075% per trade.
Pyramiding: 1.
Calculations: Only on bar close (no intra-bar ticks).
Usage Notes
Static ATR stop adapts to volatility but does not trail.
Ideal for trending, liquid markets (stocks, futures, FX).
Adjust SMA lengths or ATR multiple for faster/slower signals.

ATR Based Zigzag w EMAThe "ATR Based Zigzag with EMA" indicator is a refined trend-following tool designed for traders who demand clarity, precision, and robust trend detection. This script uses an ATR (Average True Range)-based breakout mechanism to dynamically determine the current market trend, while overlaying a clean, smoothed EMA (Exponential Moving Average) line to visually represent the active directional bias.
The indicator continuously tracks new swing highs and lows based on ATR volatility thresholds. When price moves sufficiently against the current trend — exceeding an ATR-multiplied distance — the trend is considered reversed. This adaptive method ensures that trend flips are based not on arbitrary price action, but on meaningful, volatility-adjusted movements.
Instead of plotting zigzag-style pivots which can create visual noise, the indicator draws a single, smooth EMA line calculated from the median price ((high + low) / 2). The color of the line shifts instantly based on the active trend: green (or your customized color) for uptrends, and red for downtrends. In addition, individual price bars are optionally colored to match the trend, further enhancing at-a-glance clarity without cluttering the chart.
Key user-defined inputs include the ATR length, ATR multiplier (sensitivity for trend flips), EMA smoothing length (responsiveness of the trend line), and full color customization for uptrend and downtrend states.
This indicator excels at providing a clear and immediate understanding of trend conditions, making it highly effective for:
Trend-following strategies
Reversal spotting based on volatility breaks
Entry/exit confirmation
Visual chart cleanliness and minimalism
Whether used standalone or alongside other tools, the "ATR Based Zigzag with EMA" offers a disciplined, volatility-sensitive view of market structure — engineered for traders who refuse to tolerate noise, hesitation, or ambiguity in their decision-making.

ATR Stop LossThe ATR Stop Loss indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk by calculating dynamic stop loss levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). By considering market volatility, this tool helps identify optimal stop loss placements for both long and short positions, making it easier for traders to protect their investments and avoid premature exits.
Features:
Customizable ATR period and multiplier to adapt to different trading strategies and market conditions.
Displays stop loss levels directly on the chart for quick decision-making.
Works across various timeframes and assets, offering flexible application in diverse trading scenarios.
How It Works: The indicator calculates the ATR over a specified period and multiplies it by a user-defined value to plot stop loss levels above or below the current closing price. For long positions, the stop loss level is set below the price, while for short positions, it is set above. These levels help traders set stops that account for current market volatility, reducing the likelihood of getting stopped out by minor fluctuations.
Usage: Add the ATR Stop Loss indicator to your chart, customize the ATR period and multiplier as needed, and use the visualized stop loss levels to manage your trades with greater precision and confidence.

ATR Range Accumulation by Standard Deviation and Volume [SS]So, this is an indicator/premise I have been experimenting with, which mixes ATR with Z-Score and Volume metrics.
What does the indicator do?
The indicator, on the lower timeframes, uses an ATR approach to determine short-term ranges. It takes the average ATR range over a designated lookback period and plots out the levels like so:
It then calculates the Z-Score for these ATR targets (shown in the chart above) and calculates, over the designated lookback period, how often price accumulates at that standard deviation level.
The indicator is essentially a hybrid of my Z-Score Support and Resistance indicator and my frequency distribution indicator. It combines both concepts into one.
You also have the option of sorting by volume accumulation. This will display the accumulation of the ranges by volume accumulation, like so:
Larger Timeframes:
If you want to see the accumulation by volume or standard deviation on the larger timeframes, you can. Simply toggle on your preferred setting:
Show Total Accumulation Breakdown:
This will break down the levels, over the lookback period, by standard deviation. This is similar to the Z-Score support and resistance indicator. It will then show you how often price accumulates at these various standard deviation levels. Here is an example on the daily timeframe using the 1D chart settings:
Inversely, you can repeat this, with the Z-Score levels, but show accumulation by volume. This will print 5 boxes, which are between +3 Standard Deviations and -3 Standard Deviations, like so:
Here we can see that 61% of volume accumulation is between -1 and 1 standard deviation.
Using it to Trade:
For swing trading, I suggest using the larger timeframe information. However, for both swing and day traders, it is also helpful to use the ATR display. You can modify the ATR display to show the levels on any timeframe by selecting which timeframe you would like to see ATR ranges for. If you are trading on the 1 or 5-minute chart, I suggest leaving the levels at no shorter than a 60-minute timeframe.
You can also use these levels on the daily for the weekly levels, etc.
The accumulation being shown will be based on the current chart timeframe. This is a function of Pinescript, but in this case, it's actually advantageous because if you are trading on the shorter timeframe, and a level has 0% recent accumulation, it's unlikely we will see that level soon or overly quickly. Intraday retracements will generally happen to areas of high accumulation.
How this indicator is different:
The difference in this indicator comes from its focus on accumulation in relation to Standard Deviation. There is one thing that is consistent among retail traders, algorithms, market makers, and funds, and that is looking at the market in terms of standard deviation. Each person, market maker, and algorithm may be slightly nuanced in how it conceptualizes standard deviation (whether it be since the inception of the ticker (or IPO), or the previous 500 days, or the previous 100 days, etc.), but the premise remains consistent. Standard Deviation is a really important, if not the most important, metric to pay attention to. Another important metric is volume. Thus, the premise is that combining volume accumulation with standard deviation should, theoretically, be telling. We can see the extent of buying at various standard deviations and whether a stock is really a buy or not.
And that's the indicator! Hope you enjoy it. Leave your comments and questions below.
Safe trades!
ATR Table 2.0ATR Table 2.0
This script was created in order to display a table that "calculates" how far the price can go on the current day .
The script is a table with 3 lines that calculates:
First Line - Day TR: The True Range of the current day ( - , including an Opening GAP if it exists);
Second Line - 10 Day ATR: The Average True Range of the asset (including Opening GAPs) for the last 10 days;
Third LIne - Range Consumed: How much of the 10 Day ATR it was consumed on the current day.
Example of how to use the information on the table and the understanding of it's purpose:
1) Supose you are day trading an asset that, during the last 10 days, have moved around $1.00 a day - This is the 10 Day ATR.
2) On this day, after 2 hours of the opening market, the price have already moved $0.50 (supose that it has moved $0.30 up and $0.35 down from the close of the prior day and the price is now near the close of the prior day).
3) In this situation, knowing that the price often moves around $1.00 a day, and knowing that it already moved $0.65 ($0.30 up and $0.35 down based on the close of the prior day), you may pay attention when the price breaksthrough the max or the min of the day, cause it can still move $0.35 in that direction ($1.00 - $0.65).
----------------------------------------------
ATR Table 2.0
Esse script foi criado para disponibilizar uma tabela que "calcula" quanto o preço pode andar ainda no dia em questão .
O script é uma tabela com 3 linhas que calcula:
Primeira Linha - TR do Dia: O Range Verdadeira do dia em questão ( - , incluindo GAP de Abertura se for o caso);
Segunda Linha - ATR de 10 Dias: A média do Range Verdadeira do ativo (incluindo GAPs de abertura) dos últimos 10 dias;
Terceira Linha - Range Consumido: O quanto do ATR de 10dias já foi consumido no dia em questão.
Exemplo de como usar essa informação na tabela e o entendimento do seu propósito:
1) Suponha que você está realizando day trade de um ativo que, durante os últimos 10 dias, se move em torno de $1.00 por dia. Esse é o ATR de 10 dias.
2) Nesse dia, após 2 horas da abertura do pregão, o preço já se moveu $.050 (suponhamos que ele tenha se moveu $0.30 para cima e $0.35 para baixo a partir do fechamento do dia anterior e agora o preço está próximo do fechamento do dia anterior).
3) Nessa situação, sabendo que o preço se move por volta de $1.00 por dia, e sabendo que ele já se moveu $0.65 ($0.30 pra cima e $0.35 pra baixo a partir do fechamento do dia anterior), você deve se atentar para quando o preço romper a máxima ou a mínima do dia, pois ele pode se mover ainda $.035 na direção do rompimento ($1.00 - $0.65).
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.

ATR Mark Up/DownThis script looks for a period with increased volatility, as measured by ATR (Average True Range), then it looks for a high or a low in that area.
When price is above EMA (200 is default, can be changed), it looks for the highs and adds multiples of ATR to the high. Default values for multipliers are 3,9 and 27, meaning that the script will show 3xATR level above the high, 9xATR above the high and 27xATR above the high.
When price is below EMA it looks for the lows and subtracts multiples of ATR from the low.The script will show 3xATR level below the low, 9xATR below the low and 27xATR below the low.
Multipliers values can be changed as well, making it a versatile tool that shows potential levels of suppport/resistance based on the volatility.
Possible use cases:
Breakout trading, when price crosses a certain level, it may show potential profit targets for trades opened at a breakout.
Stoploss helper. Many traders use ATR for their stoplosses, 1 ATR below the swing low for long trades and 1 ATR above the swing high for short trades are common values used by many traders. In this case, the Lookback value comes handy, if we want to look maybe at a more recent value for swing high/low point.
The levels shown by this indicator are not guaranteed to be or not to be reached by price, these levels should be used in confluence with other indicators and looked at as a visual helper.
That's all, hope you enjoy it!
PS.
*It does not plot the ATR. I don't know how to do it and IF it can be done
** It does not plot the EMA. If necessary,it can be added in a future update

ATR Screener with Labels and ShapesWeekly Daily ATR Pine Scanner
To find out tightness or contraction in a stock we needs to check if volatality is decreasing as well as compared to previous 14 or 10 bars volatility . we check this for weekly and then for Daily , so that we can enter in a stock which is tightest in recent times.
Condition is :
1. Weekly Candle ATR x 0.8 < 10 Week ATR
2. Daily Candle ATR x 0.6 < 14 Day ATR
When both of the conditions are met then they signifies that the stock has tightened in weekly and daily aswell . so now we can find ways to enter during max squeeze.
How to scan in Pine Scanner ?
FIrst add indicator as favourite and Go to pine scanner page in trading view and then scan your watchlist and there you will see 3 columns 1 with only Weekly conditions met , 2 with only Daily and 3rd with Both conditions met .
Select stocks and move to new watchlist and now you have those stocks which has contracted the most in recent times .
ATR | LOTSIZE | Risk (Futures)This Pine Script is a futures-specific trading utility designed to help F\&O (Futures and Options) traders quickly assess the volatility and position sizing for any selected stock on the chart — even if it's not a futures chart.
What the Script Does:
* Automatically detects the futures symbol for the underlying equity using a dynamic mapping system.
* Calculates the ATR (Average True Range) of the futures contract using either SMA or EMA.
* Fetches the Lot Size (Point Value) of the futures instrument.
* Computes risk per lot by multiplying ATR with lot size (Risk = ATR × Lot Size).
* Displays all 3 values — ATR, Lot Size, and Risk in INR — in a compact table on the chart.
Why This Is Useful for F\&O Traders:
* ✅ Quick Risk Assessment: Helps traders understand how much is at risk per lot without switching to the actual futures chart.
* ✅ Position Sizing: Provides data to calculate how many lots to trade based on a defined risk per trade.
* ✅ Volatility Awareness:ATR gives insights into how much the stock typically moves, guiding stop-loss and target placements.
* ✅ Efficient Workflow:No need to load separate futures charts or lookup lot sizes manually — saves time and reduces error.
This tool is ideal for discretionary and systematic traders who want risk and volatility context for every trade, especially in the NSE Futures & Options segment.

✅ ATR Distance from VWAP – Calculates how many ATRs the price is from the VWAP.
✅ Dynamic Table Display – Shows ATR distance in real-time for quick decision-making.
✅ Intraday Focus – Designed for scalpers and day traders using minutes or hourly timeframes.
📊 How to Use:
Look for price moving away from VWAP to identify extended moves.
Use as a reversion signal when price deviates too far from VWAP.
ATR SL and TP with Candle Freeze & DataWindowThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to automatically calculate your stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels based on the current market volatility and your chosen multipliers. Here's how it works:
ATR Calculation:
The indicator computes the ATR, which measures the average market volatility over a set period. This value helps gauge how much the price typically moves.
SL and TP Determination:
Depending on whether you're in a long or short trade, the SL and TP are calculated relative to the current price:
For a long trade, the stop loss is set below the current price (by subtracting a multiple of the ATR) and the take profit is set above it (by adding a multiple of the ATR).
For a short trade, the calculations are reversed.
Candle Freeze Feature:
Once a new candle starts, the calculated SL and TP values are "frozen" for that candle. This means they remain constant during the candle's formation, preventing them from updating continuously as the price fluctuates. This can make it easier to plan your trades without the levels shifting mid-candle.
Data Window & Labels:
The SL and TP values are plotted on the chart as lines and displayed in labels for quick reference. Additionally, they appear in TradingView's Data Window, so you can easily copy the price numbers if needed.
Overall, the indicator is designed to help you manage your trades by setting dynamic, volatility-adjusted SL and TP levels that only update at the start of each new candle, aligning with your chosen timeframe. Let me know if you have any more questions or need further adjustments!
ATR BandsThe ATR Bands indicator is a volatility-based tool that plots dynamic support and resistance levels around the price using the Average True Range (ATR). It consists of two bands:
Upper Band: Calculated as current price + ATR, representing an upper volatility threshold.
Lower Band: Calculated as current price - ATR, serving as a lower volatility threshold.
Key Features:
✅ Measures Volatility: Expands and contracts based on market volatility.
✅ Dynamic Support & Resistance: Helps identify potential breakout or reversal zones.
✅ Customizable Smoothing: Supports multiple moving average methods (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA) for ATR calculation.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: If the price consistently touches or exceeds the upper band, it may indicate strong bullish momentum.
Reversal Signals: A price approaching the lower band may suggest a potential reversal or increased selling pressure.
Volatility Assessment: Wide bands indicate high volatility, while narrow bands suggest consolidation.
This indicator is useful for traders looking to incorporate volatility-based strategies into their trading decisions
ATR-Based Trend Oscillator with Donchian ChannelsThis script, my Magnum Opus, combines the best elements of trend detection into a powerful ATR-based trend strength oscillator. It has been meticulously engineered to give traders a consistent edge in trend analysis across any asset, including highly volatile markets like crypto and forex. The oscillator normalizes trend strength as a percentage of ATR, smoothing out noise and allowing the oscillator to remain highly responsive while adapting to varying asset volatility.
Key Features:
ATR-Based Oscillator: Measures trend strength in relation to Average True Range, which enhances accuracy and consistency across different assets. By normalizing to ATR, the oscillator produces stable and reliable values that capture shifts in trend momentum effectively.
Dual Moving Averages for Smoothing: This script features two customizable moving averages to help confirm trend direction and strength, making it adaptable for short- and long-term analysis alike.
Donchian Channels for Strength Bounds: A Donchian Channel over the smoothed trend strength oscillator visually bounds strength levels, enabling traders to spot breakout points or reversals quickly.
Ideal for Multi-Asset Trading: The versatility of this indicator makes it a perfect choice across various asset classes, from stocks to forex and cryptocurrencies, maintaining consistency in signals and reliability.
Suggested Pairing: Use this oscillator alongside a directional indicator, such as the Vortex Indicator, to confirm trend direction. This pairing allows traders to understand not only the strength but also the direction of the trend for optimized entry and exit points.
Why This Indicator Will Elevate Your Trading: This trend strength oscillator has been refined to provide clarity and edge for any trader. By incorporating ATR-based normalization, it maintains accuracy in volatile and steady markets alike. The Donchian Channels add structure to trend strength, giving clear overbought and oversold signals, while the two moving averages ensure that lag is minimized without sacrificing accuracy.
Whether you're scalping or trend-trading, this oscillator will enhance your ability to detect and interpret trend strength, making it an essential tool in any trading arsenal.
ATR Oscillator with DotsThe ATR Oscillator with Dots utilizes the Average True Range (ATR), a traditional measure that captures the extent of an asset's price movements within a given timeframe. Rather than depicting these values in a continuous line, the ATR Oscillator represents them as discrete dots, colored according to the price movement direction: green for upward movements when the current close is higher than the previous, and red for downward movements when the current close is lower.
In terms of functionality, the key feature of this oscillator is how it visualizes volatility through the spacing of the dots. During periods of high market volatility, the shifts between red and green dots tend to occur more frequently and with greater disparity in their positioning along the oscillator’s axis. This indicates sharp price changes and high trading activity. Conversely, periods of market consolidation are characterized by fewer color changes and a more clustered arrangement of dots, reflecting less price movement and lower volatility.
Traders can leverage the insights from the ATR Oscillator with Dots to better understand the market's behavior. For instance, a tight clustering of dots around the zero line suggests a consolidation phase, where the price is relatively stable and may be preparing for a breakout. On the other hand, widely spaced dots alternating between red and green signify strong price movements, offering opportunities for traders to capitalize on trends or prepare for potential reversals.
Imagine a scenario where a trader is monitoring a currency pair in a fluctuating forex market. An observed increase in the frequency and gap of alternating red and green dots would suggest a rise in volatility, possibly triggered by economic news or events. This could be an optimal time for the trader to seek entry or exit points, aligning their strategy with the increased activity. Conversely, a reduction in the frequency and gap of dot changes could signal an impending consolidation phase, prompting the trader to adopt a more cautious approach or explore range-bound trading strategies.
Therefore, the ATR Oscillator with Dots not only simplifies the interpretation of volatility and price momentum through visual cues but also enriches the trader’s strategy by highlighting periods of high activity and consolidation. This tool can be crucial for making informed decisions, particularly in fast-moving or uncertain market conditions, and can be effectively paired with other indicators to confirm trends and refine trading tactics.
Relative ATRATR is one of the main indicators we use to measure volatility. When the market starts to consolidate or does not rise, ATR will be at a relatively low position.
However, the classic ATR formula does not consider that when the price changes at a logarithmic level, the ATR value will also change significantly. Therefore, I divide the calculated ATR value by the closing price to get an amplitude ratio index.
The adjusted indicator can well reflect the level of volatility. For example, the volatility of BTC reached an unprecedented low in January this year, which means that there will be a significant outbreak after breaking through the consolidation range. The configuration of the breakthrough order will be an excellent choice.
ATR Trailing Stop v5 One of my favorite stops is the ATR Trailing Stop-loss. With the implementation of PineScript v5, a code update was needed in order to use this stop/exit-strategy with newer strategy scripts. A timeframe selector that was not featured on earlier versions is also included. This new version can be plugged into PineScript v5 strategies, and also has a simpler/cleaner code that makes the code logic easier to follow than prior versions.
For those that are unfamiliar with the ATR Trailing Stop exit strategy; it is a trailing stop that takes into account the volatility of the underlying asset by trailing the price series using a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). In practice I’ve found that this exit can be more effective than traditional trailing stops, depending on the volatility of the asset you are trading. More detailed information can be found at www.stockopedia.com
How do I use it? Add it to your chart as an indicator to visualize where the ATR stop would be with your settings. Or, copy and add it to your v5 strategy with the addition of a ta.crossunder(close, ATRTrailingStop) or ta.crossover(close, ATRTrailingStop) function. Special thanks and credit to HPotter who coded an earlier version of this in pine!
ATR Break on chartThis script is putting one of my old trading method, ATR Break, on chart.
It used to win many times in Dukascopy strategy contest a few years ago.
Pine script is quite easy to learn and very powerful. So I coded it to have a quick view for ATR break on chart.
The rule is simple:
- Current close - open / Previous ATR(5) > alertlevel (1.2), long signal
- Current open - close / Previous ATR(5) > alertlevel (1.2), short signal
The script will display label on the chart with the value of abs(close - open) / Previous ATR(5) to feel the strength.
I used to use the method on 5-min even 1-min chart. SL for 200 points and TP for 5-10 points
ATR draw on the candle easily setup SL&TPHi,Guys,
Build-in ATR need to read the pips then add on current price to setup safe SL.
But under stress of trading, calculation is not effective.
Input:
Length:Length of ATR
n:n*ATR=Risk
m:m*Risk=TP
the dash line means current price plus n*ATR and minus n*ATR for setup sell or buy stop loss.
If increase m more than 1,you can see the additional line outside the original line in order to setup TP with Reward:Risk more than 1.
Hope you guys enjoy it, and welcome to comment.
ATR Percentages BoxThis custom indicator provides a quick visual reference for volatility-based price ranges, directly on your TradingView charts. It calculates and displays three ranges derived from the Daily Average True Range (ATR) with a standard 14-period setting:
5 Min (3% ATR): Ideal for very short-term scalping and quick intraday moves.

ATR Based EMA Price Targets [SS]As requested...
This is a spinoff of my EMA 9/21 cross indicator with price targets.
A few of you asked for a simple EMA crossover version and that is what this is.
I have, of course, added a bit of extra functionality to it, assuming you would want to transition from another EMA indicator to this one, I tried to leave it somewhat customizable so you can get the same type of functionality as any other EMA based indicator just with the added advantage of having an ATR based assessment added on. So lets get into the details:
What it does:
Same as my EMA 9/21, simply performs a basic ATR range analysis on a ticker, calculating the average move it does on a bullish or bearish cross.
How to use it:
So there are quite a few functions of this indicator. I am going to break them down one by one, from most basic to the more complex.
Plot functions:
EMA is Customizable: The EMA is customizable. If you want the 200, 100, 50, 31, 9, whatever you want, you just have to add the desired EMA timeframe in the settings menu.
Standard Deviation Bands are an option: If you like to have standard deviation bands added to your EMA's, you can select to show the standard deviation band. It will plot the standard deviation for the desired EMA timeframe (so if it is the EMA 200, it will plot the Standard Deviation on the EMA 200).
Plotting Crossovers: You can have the indicator plot green arrows for bullish crosses and red arrows for bearish crosses. I have smoothed out this function slightly by only having it signal a crossover when it breaks and holds. I pulled this over to the alert condition functions as well, so you are not constantly being alerted when it is bouncing over and below an EMA. Only once it chooses a direction, holds and moves up or down, will it alert to a true crossover.
Plotting labels: The indicator will default to plotting the price target labels and the EMA label. You can toggle these on and off in the EMA settings menu.
Trend Assessment Settings:
In addition to plotting the EMA itself and signaling the ATR ranges, the EMA will provide you will demographic information about the trend and price action behaviour around the EMA. You can see an example in the image below:
This will provide you with a breakdown of the statistics on the EMA over the designated lookback period, such as the number of crosses, the time above and below the EMA and the amount the EMA has remained within its standard deviation bands.
Where this is important is the proportion assessment. And what the proportion assessment is doing is its measuring the amount of time the ticker is spending either above or below the EMA.
Ideally, you should have relatively equal and uniform durations above and below. This would be a proportion of between 0.5 and 1.5 Above to Below. Now, you don't have to remember this because you can ask the indicator to do the assessment for you. It will be displayed at the bottom of your chart in a table that you can toggle on and off:
Example of a Uniform Assessment:
Example of a biased assessment:
Keep in mind, if you are using those very laggy EMAs (like the 50, 200, 100 etc.) on the daily timeframe, you aren't going to get uniformity in the data. This is because, stocks are technically already biased to the upside over time. Thus, when you are looking at the big picture, the bull bias thesis of the stock market is in play.
But for the smaller and moderate timeframes, owning to the randomness of price action, you can generally get uniformity in data representation by simply adjusting your lookback period.
To adjust your lookback period, you simply need to change the timeframe for the ATR lookback length. I suggest no less than 500 and probably no more than 1,500 candles, and work within this range. But you can use what the indicator indicates is appropriate.
Of course, all of these charts can be turned off and you are left with a clean looking EMA indicator:
And an example with the standard deviation bands toggled on:
And that, my friends, is the indicator.
Hopefully this is what you wanted, let me know if you have any suggestions.
Enjoy and safe trades!
