ATR Without OutliersIt is an ATR indicator which filters out outliers.
Outliers are values which are higher than the standard deviation of the true range.
It may be better than normal ATR for stop loss, because it does not keep large values after pump or dump.
It is very useful for high volatile markets like crypto markets.
Stop
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 This can achieve good smoothness but higher values will lead to using outdated price in the SL area calculation.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!
Safe stop-loss (12h)Where to put your stop-loss to avoid accidental exit. Configure your risk level. If you are in a long position and significant profit, increase the parameters to reduce the risk of accidental exit.
ATR Stop (Adaptive and Advanced)Hi everyone I am excited to share with you all a tool that has been in a lot of my research lately I and think would greatly benefit everyone.
In the last years I have fallen in love with ATR stoplosses/ stop and reverses. However all the ones offered in the community lacked the features that I wanted to have, so I built them all myself and want to share them with you all today!!!
Assuming that you are already familiar with ATR stops, here is what is new and improved with this version:
1. This script takes anything as an input! As you can see in the chart above I have used an EMA as an input into this script and this greatly smoothed out the results while still allowing for phenomenal entries with minimal whiplash. You can use this tool on anything now, from moving averages to oscillators.
2. Previous scripts were not adaptive, you can now choose how adaptive this script is! Increasing this number allows this ATR stop to follow price when it is running away so you don't have to give back much profit. Likewise it makes sure that the ATR stop slows down when the market is ranging so you wont get randomly stopped out.
3. You can now get it to start at the exact moment you enter your trade! Previous scripts had the ATR stop running forever which wasn't helpful if you only needed it for your own trades. You can now set it to start at the exact time of your trade if that is the only time you need it!
4. Now you can easily get alerts when the ATR stop gets hit.
Hope this helps you all!
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.
Adjacent HMA StopRelease Note:
This indicator script setup is published to identify the strength and ride the trends.
HMA:
HMA 100 period is used as default. However this can be changed as per wish. Major turning points or decisions can be made using this HMA line. Purple color is used to identify this. This can be used as the final extreme stop for any trend before it turns.
Adjacent Line:
Blue colored Adjacent line can be used to determine the trend strength or ride the trend till it slows down. When trending move happens it can be ride till the candles comes within this Adjacent line. And then sideways move or the moves between HMA & Adjacent line can be traded
Stop:
Dotted lines in Red and Green colors are used as very tight stop. This can be also used as first level of profit booking when very strong move happens.
Trend View:
There is an optional 'Trend View' which can be used to determined the trend.

Stop Loss PanelHere is a label panel that shows the stop-loss number for Long or Short trades based on volatility using average true range and and a mult of that.
Triple ATR multiplier - 3 ATR Values in OneHere you can choose to plot 3 different ATR values in 1 window. I use this indicator to get the values of my stop loss and take profits.
You can change the multiplier value for each ATR Line and the length of the base ATR.

One-Stop Trading SetupOne-Stop Trading Setup:
This script designed to identify up, down, and sideways trends. 200 HMA, 9 EMA, PSAR, and ATR are used to identify the strength of any instrument.
Candle Colors - Simpler approach to follow:
Green color indicates for up side trade signals
Red color indicates for down side trade signals
Yellow color can be interpreted for stop, sideways, and counter trade trade signals
Multiple Trade Setups:
Green Zone - Trading green candles within green zone has better odds of long trades
Red Zone - Trading red candles within red zone has better odds of short trades
200 HMA - Candles above 200 HMA mostly for long trades. Candles below 200 HMA usually for short trades. But the zone also very important to consider
9 EMA - Cross over above 200 HMA in Green zone, look for long trades. Cross over below 200 HMA in red zone, look for short trades
PSAR - This can be used as potential initial warning sign. Also can be used to exit partial or wait for it goes to opposite side for taking trade decisions
Candle Above all - If Green candle and above all the indicators, then very good sign of long side. If red candle and below all indicators, then very good sign of short side.
Multiple Time Frame:
This works very well with any instrument and on any time frame. Always its better to do analysis on multi time frame before entry, exit, and trade execution. Back test it with this setup and also observe it on live market. That will give edge in taking trade decisions. All the best and happy trading.
Disclaimer:
This script and setup is written with the sole purpose of identifying the strength of any instrument. Interpretation, trade decisions, and changing inputs are up to each individual users/trades.
ATR with Take and StopThis simple indicator will plot the take profit and stop loss values based on the ATR indicator.
It's possible to set how many times the ATR value will be applied to the closing price and
what trade type is used, Long or Short.
auto take_profit levelAutomatic indicator of take profit levels for any time frame.
It can be used as a visualization of resistance levels, when the lines are located next to each other, the price goes to the side where the levels are located more freely.
If you have an indicator with signals, you can set take profit by levels.

Percent Trailing Stop (%) - For Study Scripts===========
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.

Good Luck and Happy Trading!

Yup, that's about it!
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!

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!
2% StopThis indicator is simply based on the 2% rule, you must insert the entry point (the price at what you bought) by clicking the gear on the top left.
If you see the chart different is becouse the default entry is set to 1 and but it fixes if you set the proper entry price.
a little bit about the 2% rule :
Following the 2% Rule will keep any loss in your account to a rela-
tively small, livable size.
The 2% Rule prohibits you from risking more than 2% of your account
equity on any single trade.
This Rule does
not limit your position size—it only limits your risk.
Of course, if you are planning to hold your position down to zero,
then its maximum size would have to be capped at 2%. On the
other hand, if you do a much more sensible thing and use a stop, your
risk per share will decrease, and your permitted size will increase.
The distance from your entry price to the stop level defines your
maximum dollar risk per coin.
The 2% Rule defines your maximum risk for the entire position.
Knowing the risk per share and the total permitted risk makes it
easy to calculate the maximum number of coins /shares you may trade.
Credit about this idea goes to Dr Elder Alexander.
High/Low stopFirst of all let me quote some important points :
• You need stops; a trade without a stop is a gamble.
• You need to know where you’ll put your stop before you enter
a trade.
• Everybody needs hard stops.
• Whenever you change a stop, you may move it only in the direc-
tion of the trade.
There is a variety of techniques available to traders who like to use
trailing stops:
• You can use a multibar low as a trailing stop; for example, you
can keep moving your stop to the lowest low of the last three
bars (but never against your trade).
• You can trail prices with a very short moving average and use its
level for a trailing stop.
• You can use a Chandelier stop—every time the market makes a
new high, move the stop within a certain distance from the top—
either a specific price range or a number based on an ATR (aver-
age true range). Any time your stock makes a new high, you place
your stop within that distance from the top, like hanging a chan-
delier (this method is described in Come into My Trading Room).
• You can use a Parabolic stop .
• You can use a SafeZone stop .
• You can use a Volatility-Drop stop (described below, for the first
time in trading literature).
• You can use a Time Stop to get out of your trade if it does not
move within a certain time. For example, if you enter a day-trade
and the stock does not move within 10 or 15 minutes, it is clearly
not doing what you expected and it is best to scratch that trade.
If you put on a swing trade which you expect to last several
days, but then a week goes by and the stock is still flat, it is
clearly not confirming your analysis and the safest action would
be to get out.
This is a summary taken from Dr Elder book and this indicator i coded from one of his book where he briefly mention this trailing stop technique but don't dive a lot into it, but still i found to be very effective.
You can use even the short stop (the green dots) as an entry point.
ST0PST0P is a kind of a TRAILING STOP LOSS INDICATOR in which users can set up LONG or SHORT trade versions and also can set up a STOP LOSS level by percent % or unit difference.
It tries to solve the problem of stop loss indicators' default BUY or SELL settings and non adjustable stop levels of % and difference change in price levels.
(Will try to make updates to add user defined start bars.)

Trailing SL Alerts [QuantNomad]It's alerts version of my Trailing SL strategy:
Use "Once Per Bar" param when creating alerts.
Profit and Stoploss CalculatorThis script is designed to display three stop loss areas to assist either with automation of risk management or identify and alert when price is in a range of a trade for risk to reward ratio.
In this version there are three stop losses and 1 PT. Mainly because i will most likely only be using 1 of the SL to pair with the PT.
Stoploss areas are displayed on both sides of the price for long and short calculations along with the two profit factors but the settings in the indicator it self apply to both sides in terms of percentage.
Hull Signal and Auto Fib 30 secThis script will not be given away for free. Been months of developing and the effort is paying off.
The code uses a 40 HULL MA on the 30 second chart to identify up/down changes in trend. It ensures the equity is positive on the day to go long, or negative on the day to go short.
It draws the stop and fib lines according to the current 3 min ATR over the last 4 periods (12 minutes) : x1 x2 x3 x4 x6
Candles are highlighted upon entries. Grid begins.
Code resets upon one of the following:
- 4x target achieved and the trade has been active for 30 minutes
- 6x target achieved
- Stop hits
- 30 minutes have lapsed and the close is less than target x2
I have performed simple strategy analyses and have determined:
(Approximately)
34% lose x1
66% achieve 1:1, manually stop out at B/E after first target hits
48% achieve 2:1, manually stop out above B/E after x2 target hits
38% achieve 3:1, manually stop out above x1 after x3 target hits (will reset fib grid without change in trend)
13% achieve 4:1, manually stop out above x3 after x4 target hits (will reset fib grid without change in trend)
I have not evaluated for x6 though it expected to be around 5% of the winning trades. (will reset fib grid without change in trend)
