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!
Fixed Percent Stop Loss & Take Profit % - For Study Scripts===========
Fixed Percent Stop Loss & Take Profit % - { FOR STUDY SCRIPTS! }
===========
A neat example of how to set up Fixed Stops and Take Profit as a percent of the entry price - This is for setting Alerts within your own Study Script for when either your SL or TP get hit.
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!
You should be using this code as a way of adding Stops and Takes to your own scripts - hope it helps!
Set your "Open Long/Short" Alerts to be triggered "Once per Bar Close" - Set your "SL/TP" Alerts to trigger "Once per Bar".

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)

Efficient Trend Step ChannelIntroduction
The efficient trend-step indicator is a trend indicator that make use of the efficiency ratio in order to adapt to the market trend strength, this indicator originally aimed to remain static during ranging states while fitting the price only when large variations occur. The trend step indicator family unlike most moving averages has a boxy appearance and could therefore not be classified as smooth, this makes it an indicator relatively uninteresting to use as input for other non-trending indicators such as oscillators.
Today a channel indicator making use of the efficient trend-step is proposed, the indicator has an upper and a lower extremity who can be used for breakout or support and resistance methodologies, however we will see that the indicator is sometimes able to return accurate support and resistance levels.
The Indicator
The indicator has the same settings has the efficient trend step indicator, length control the period of the efficiency ratio, fast control the period of the rolling standard deviation used for trending states, slow control the period of the rolling standard deviation used for ranging states, fast should be lower than slow , if both are equal then the indicator is equal to the classical trend step indicator and length does no longer affect the indicator output. Lower values of fast/slow will make the indicator more reactive to small variations thus changing direction more often.
The color changes you can see on the indicator are changed depending on the prior direction took by the indicator output, if the indicator where higher than its precedent value, then the color will be blue until the indicator is lower than its precedent value. Those colors help you have an estimate of the current trend direction.
Channel Calculation And Role
The extremities made from the efficient trend step allow for more advanced trading rules, they can act as stop/target level and can also give a rough estimate of the current market volatility, with wider extremities indicating a more volatile market.
The extremities are made directly from the dev element used by the efficient trend-step, the upper extremity is made by summing the efficient trend step with the value of dev when the efficient trend step change, the lower extremity is made the same way but the value is subtracted instead.
Is it a weird choice ? It sure is strange to see such approach, the absolute rolling average error between the price and the efficient trend step could have been a logical measure but using dev instead is more efficient and also allow for a more adaptive approach which can benefit the support and resistance methodology, the last reason is because i didn't wanted to "denature" the trend-step signature of the indicator.
The figure above represent the measurement used for making the extremities (in green).
Since the previously described measure change only when the efficient trend step change, we can conclude that such measure is representative of a relatively large variation, since the efficient trend step aim to only change when a large variations appear.
We can see that the upper extremity acted as an accurate resistance in this upper variation of AMD,
Here as well, however like other bands indicators it is safer to take into account the current trend direction, a strong uptrend will have less difficulties crossing the upper extremity, therefore it might be better to rely on the support (lower extremity) on an up-trending market (indicator in blue), and on the resistance (upper extremity) on an down-trending market (indicator in orange).
The figure above show support and resistances signals, a cross represent a false signal, while green arrows represent correct ones with their respective direction.
Conclusion
The presented indicator add more possibilities to the interpretation of the efficient trend step, the extremities can act as stop/target level, however this use has to be controlled, and the level should be in accordance to your risk/reward ratio.
Showcasing another trend-step indicator was a real pleasure. Thanks for reading :)
