Modified Gann HiLo ActivatorIntroduction
The gann hilo activator is a trend indicator developed by Robert Krausz published into W. D. Gann Treasure Discovered: Simple Trading Plans for Stocks & Commodities . This indicator crate a trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend.
This indicator is fairly easy to compute and dont require lot of skills to understand. First we calculate the simple moving average of both price high and price low, when the close price is higher than the moving average of the price high the indicator return the moving average of the price low, else the indicator return the moving average of the price high if the close price is lower than the moving average of the price low.
My indicator add a different calculation method in order to avoid whipsaw trades as well as adding significance to the moving average length. A Median method has been added to provide more robustness.
The Indicator
The indicator is a simple trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend. The indicator use a different source instead of the price high/low for its calculation. The first method is the "SMA" method which like the classic hilo indicator use a simple moving average for the calculation of the indicator.
Sma Method with length = 25
The "Median" use a moving median instead of a simple moving average, this provide more robustness.
Median Method with length = 25
The shape is less curved and the indicator can sometimes avoid whipsaw with high's length periods.
Mult Parameter
The mult parameter is a parameter set to be lower or equal to 1 and greater or equal to 0. High values allow the indicator to be far from the price thus avoiding whipsaw trades, lower ones lower the distance from the price. A mult parameter of 0.1 approximate the original hilo indicator.
In blue the indicator with mult = 0.1 and in radical red the original hilo activator.
Conclusion
The modifications allow more control over the indicator as well as adding more robustness while the original one is destined to fail when market price is more complex.

Flagging BandsIntroduction
A pun between the word flag and the adjective flagging (less dynamic) , this indicator have two bands who react faster when in contact to the price. Imagine you are under sheets, if you abruptly rise, the sheets will instantaneously go up, then if you abruptly get down, the sheets will fall slowly until being in contact with a surface, this is because of a type of friction called drag or air resistance , this force is described in fluid dynamics and i inspired myself from that for the creation of the indicator.
The indicator
The indicator is made of two bands, one upper band and one lower band, then a weighted average of each bands, this average is weighted depending on which band the price is closer. The length control the period of the indicator, in general higher lengths will create wider bands, you must consider that this parameter behave differently than other ones and may create slower results in comparison with other bands indicators while having the same length period.
The indicator can use a simple breakout methodology (see trailing stop part) but can sometime provide support and resistance points, in fact i believe that when the average variability/volatility of band A is higher than the average variability/volatility of band B and that the price cross band B then price will reverse its direction, this claim is not justified, research is needed.
Trailing Stop Mod
It is possible to make the indicator act as a trailing stop, in order to do so just tick the trailing stop mod box.
The average/bands will automatically disappear being replaced by the trailing stop.
Conclusion
I was just playing around when making the skeleton of the indicator, i hope the code is easy to understand, if you need some kind of explanation just pm me, i'm always open to help people/receive suggestions.

Parabolic SARThis is a redesign of the built-in Parabolic SAR indicator. I added a proper input system, an option to highlight initial points for both lines and an option to choose points width. So, customize it as you want.
Parabolic SAR was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder and described in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" (1978). It is a trend-following indicator that can be used as a trailing stop loss.

MTA-Traling StopIntroduction
Based on my previous indicator , this indicator plot a trailing stop using classic conditions.
Using The Indicator
Like any trailing stop when price is higher than the trailing stop this imply a buy signals, when price is lower than the trailing stop this imply a sell signal. It is possible to use decimals instead of integers for length as shown here :
length = 14.7
The indicator tend to react faster to price movements when a trend has been really long, this methodology is similar to the one used by the parabolic sar.
Downsides
Lack of robustness with the length parameter, the behaviour of the trailing stop can be hard to predict. There is a real need for control.
Conclusion
The indicator can be adaptive, even if it already is in a certain way, by changing the alpha variable at the start considering that 0 < alpha < 1. Its not recommended to use it right now except for testing/coding purpose.
It is clear that i'm not enthusiast when it come to this script, there is a real lack of accuracy, i still hope it can be of use.
Chandelier ExitThis is a redesign of the Chandelier Exit indicator. It removes stupid transitions between Chandelier Exit' states and highlights initial points for both lines.
This indicator was originally developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder in his book "Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading" (2002).
In short, this is a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
SuperTrendThis is a redesign of the SuperTrend indicator. It removes stupid transitions between SuperTrend states and highlights initial points for both lines.
SuperTrend is a moving stop and reversal line based on the volatility (ATR).

SuperTrend ATR + RSI with signalThis is an updated version of Crée par J.Dow's very interesting indicator- myself and Squiggles added the alert function in there. The original description and explanation can be seen here.
Some settings work better than others on different timeframes- have a play around, I'd be interested in seeing what optimum settings you might be able to find.
ATR Trailing Stop Bands [R] This is based on the Average True Range Trailing Stops Strategy by Sylvain Vervoort, coded on TV HPotter. I have added Bands to see potential short and long stop loss zones before the indicator signals to switch itself, also changed color on the main Trailing Stop based on whether it is short or long, added increased stop loss hunt protection by combining with my Wickiness indicator to add Wick Protection, based on either Average or Maximum Wicks, to prevent your stop getting wicked out. Experiment with different timeframes according to your trading style and how long you like to hold a trade. This indicator does not intend to tell you when to take profit, just how to place your stop to give you the best chance of not getting stopped out too early and to minimise risk by trailing it safely.
May you all never be stop hunted again.

Customizable trailing Stop For Manual EntriesHere's how to create a trailing stop with a manual buy order, on an exchange that does not support native trailing stops. Code can easily be copy+pasted into your normal algos.
To set the entry price for your manual trade, specify the bar time when the trade was made. Note that the time you specify needs to correspond to an opening time on your chart--if it's a 3 hour chart, 6 pm or 9 pm will work, but 8 PM will not. It's not as bad as it sounds though, read on :)
Per usual I keep multiple options open.
Special features in this script:
Change time frame for trailing
Specify trailing parameter (high, close, hlc3, etc.)
Change time frame for stop loss trigger (use a shorter time frame for earlier exits!)
Specify trigger parameter (close, low, hlc3, etc.)
Remember that annoying issue where you might not be able to precisely specify entry price, because you want to use 3 hour closing prices for your trailing stop but you bought in at 7:41 pm? Add this indicator to a 1 minute chart and set your start time to 19:41, then set the trailing time frame to 3 hours!
Next stop is v2, where we take profits along the way before stop loss gets triggered.
Simple Trailing stopSince my exchange doesn't support trailing stop I made a script for it.
It is fully configurable, which means you can set the bars for calculation, the offset and sources for trigger and calculation.
The original purpose for me was to send a command to my bot. If you like it please comment and check out my other scripts.
CDC ATR Trailing Stop V2.1 (2013)CDC ATR Trailing Stop V2.1
The indicator / system was developed a few years ago.
Contains two ATR trailing stop lines, fast and slow.
The slow ATR SL line is the same as the one in a normal ATR trailing stop loss indicator.
The fast one is created to generate buy/sell signals
To use the signals, activate them from the indicator's settings (gear icon next to the indicator's name on the chart) and enable buy / sell arrows.
The system works well in high volatility market.
I personally use this as the faster system in conhunction with my slower MA system to diversify portfolio performance.
B3 Bar Cycle MTF (fix)Apologies, there was an error in printing for the thick gray boxes, happened when MTF was switched on. All better, and here is the details from before:
This is an interesting study that can be used as a tool for determining trend direction, and also could be a trailing stop setter. I use it as a gauge on MTF settings. If on, you can look at the bar cycle of the 1h while on the 15m giving you a lot of information in one tool. If a line is missing high or low, it is because it was broken, if both exist you are trading in range and cloud appears. If both sides break you get thick gray boxes above and below bar.
Get used to editing the inputs to suit your liking. Often 3-5 length and always looking at different resolutions to get a big picture story. You could put multiple instances of the study up to see them simultaneously. I based the idea off of Krausz's 3 day cycle which you can read about in his teachings. I tend to find it looking better using Heikin Ashi bar-style.
