ATR-Stop-MoonATR-Stop-Moon — ATR-Based Stop Indicator
The ATR-Stop-Moon is a visual indicator designed to help identify automatic dynamic stop-loss levels based on price volatility. It uses the Average True Range (ATR), a classic volatility metric, to define safe exit zones for both long and short positions.
How It Works
Long Stop-Loss (green): Represents the suggested stop level for buy trades.
Formula: close - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short Stop-Loss (red): Represents the suggested stop level for sell trades.
Formula: close + (ATR × Multiplier)
The ATR measures asset volatility. Thus, the more volatile the market, the wider the stops.
Visual Elements
Colored Lines:
Green: Stop-loss for long positions.
Red: Stop-loss for short positions.
Labels:
Display the percentage distance between the current price and the stop.
Example: "PL: 1.25%" means the long stop is 1.25% below the current price.
You can enable or disable labels in the settings.
Customizable Background:
Allows changing the chart background color with configurable offset — useful for aesthetic purposes or visual highlighting.

Realtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical OverlayRealtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical Overlay
A simple, effective tool for dynamic risk management based on ATR (Average True Range) without adding cluttered and distracting lines all over your chart.
📌 Description
This script plots a real-time stop loss level using the Average True Range (ATR) on your chart, helping you set consistent, volatility-based stops. It supports both:
✅ Current chart timeframe
✅ Custom fixed timeframe inputs (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, etc.)
The stop level is calculated as:
Stop = ATR × Multiplier
and updates in real-time. An overlay table displays on the bottom-right of your chart with the calculated stop value in a clean, simple way.
⚙️ Settings
ATR Timeframe Source:
Choose between using the current chart's timeframe or a fixed one (e.g. 5, 15, 60, D, etc).
ATR Length:
Period used to calculate the ATR (default is 14).
Stop Loss Multiplier:
Multiplies the ATR value to define your stop (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
Wait for Timeframe Closes:
If enabled, the ATR value waits for the selected timeframe’s candle to close before updating. If unselected, it will update in real time.
🛠️ How to Use
Add this script to your chart from your indicators list.
Configure your desired timeframe, ATR length, and multiplier in the settings panel.
Use the value shown in the table overlay as your suggested stop loss distance from entry.
Adjust your position sizing accordingly to fit your risk tolerance.
This tool is especially useful for traders looking for adaptive risk management that evolves with market volatility — whether scalping intraday or swing trading.
💡 Pro Tip
The ATR stop can also be used to dynamically trail your stop behind price movement.
Risk ModuleRisk Module
This indicator provides a visual reference to determine position sizing and approximate stop placement. It is designed to support trade planning by calculating equalized risk per trade based on a stop distance derived from volatility. The tool offers supportive reference points that allow for quick evaluation of risk and position size consistency across varying markets.
Equalized Risk Per Trade
The indicator calculates the number of shares that can be traded to maintain consistent monetary risk. The formula is based on the distance between the current price and the visual stop reference, adjusting the position size proportionally.
Position Size = Dollar Risk / (Entry Price – Stop Price)
The risk is calculated as a percentage of account size; both of which can be set in the indicator’s settings tab. This creates a consistent risk exposure across trades regardless of volatility or structural stop distance.
Stop Placement Reference
The visual stop reference is derived from the Average True Range (ATR), providing a volatility-based anchor. The default value is set to 2 × ATR, but this can be customized.
Price Model: Uses the current price ± ATR × multiplier. This model reacts to price movement and is set as the default option.
EMA Model: Uses the 20-period EMA ± ATR × multiplier. This model is less reactive and can be an option when used in combination with an envelope indicator.
Chart Elements
Stop Levels: Plotted above and below either the current price or EMA, depending on the selected model. These serve as visual reference points for stop placement; the lower level a sell stop for long trades, the upper level a buy stop for short trades.
Information Table: Displays the number of shares to trade, stop level and percentage risk. A compact mode is available to reduce the table to essential information (H/L and Shares).
Settings Overview
Stop Model: Choose between “Price” or “EMA” stop calculation logic.
ATR Multiplier: Change the distance between price/EMA and the stop reference.
Account Size / Risk %: These risk parameters are used to calculate dollar risk per trade.
Visible Bars: Number of recent bars to show stop markers on.
Compact Mode: Minimal table view for reduced chart footprint.
Table Position / Size: Controls table placement and scale on the chart.
Circuit Breaker LevelsThis indicator will show the Previous Day's Close and +/- 4.5% (Warning Level for Prop Firms), 5% (Prop Firm Trading Halted), 7% (First CME Circuit Breaker), 13% (Second CME Circuit Breaker), and 20% (Final CME Circuit Breaker All Trading Halted for the Day).
Profit Trailing BBandsProfit Trailing Trend BBands v4.7.5 with Double Trailing SL
A TradingView Pine Script Strategy
Created by Kevin Bourn and refined with the help of Grok 3 (xAI)
Overview
Welcome to Profit Trailing Trend BBands v4.7.5, a dynamic trading strategy designed to ride trends and lock in profits with a unique double trailing stop-loss mechanism. Built for TradingView’s Pine Script v6, this strategy combines Bollinger Bands for trend detection with a smart trailing system that doubles down on profit protection. Whether you’re trading XRP or any other asset, this tool aims to maximize gains while keeping risk in check—all with a clean, visual interface.
What It Does
Identifies Trends: Uses Bollinger Bands to spot uptrends (price crossing above the upper band) and downtrends (price crossing below the lower band).
Enters Positions: Opens long or short trades based on trend signals, with customizable position sizing and leverage.
Trails Profits: Employs a two-stage trailing stop-loss:
Initial Trailing SL: Acts as a take-profit level, set as a percentage (%) or dollar ($) distance from the entry price.
Tightened Trailing SL: Once the initial profit target is hit, the stop-loss tightens to half the initial distance, locking in gains as the trend continues.
Manages Risk: Includes a margin call feature to exit losing positions before they blow up your account.
Visualizes Everything: Plots Bollinger Bands (blue upper, orange lower) and a red stepped trailing stop-loss line for easy tracking.
Why Built It?
Captures Trends: Bollinger Bands are a proven way to catch momentum, and we tuned them for responsiveness (short length, moderate multiplier).
Secures Profits: Traditional trailing stops often leave money on the table or exit too early. The double trailing SL first takes a chunk of profit, then tightens up to ride the rest of the move.
Stays Flexible: Traders can tweak price sources, stop-loss types (% or $), and position sizing to fit their style.
Looks Good: Clear visuals help you see the strategy in action without cluttering your chart.
Originally refined for XRP, it’s versatile enough for most markets — crypto, forex, stocks, you name it.
How It Works
Core Components
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) and standard deviation.
Default settings: 6-period length, 1.66 multiplier.
Upper Band (blue): SMA + (1.66 × StdDev).
Lower Band (orange): SMA - (1.66 × StdDev).
Trend signals: Price crossing above the upper band triggers a long, below the lower band triggers a short.
Double Trailing Stop-Loss:
Initial SL: Set via "Trailing Stop-Loss Value" (default 6% or $6). Trails the price at this distance and doubles as the first profit target.
Tightened SL: Once price hits the initial SL distance in profit (e.g., +6%), the SL tightens to half (e.g., 3%) and continues trailing, locking in gains.
Visualized as a red stepped line, only visible during active positions.
Position Sizing:
Choose "% of Equity" (default 30%) or "Amount in $" to set trade size.
Leverage (default 10x) amplifies positions, capped by available equity to avoid overexposure.
Margin Call:
Exits positions if drawdown exceeds the "Margin %" (default 10%) to protect your account.
Backtesting Filter:
Starts trading after a user-defined date (default: Jan 1, 2020) for focused historical analysis.
Trade Logic
Long Entry: Price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band → Closes any short position, opens a long.
Short Entry: Price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band → Closes any long position, opens a short.
Exit: Position closes when price hits the trailing stop-loss or triggers a margin call.
How to Use It
Setup
Add to TradingView:
Open TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Ensure you’re using Pine Script v6 (the script includes @version=6).

Tips for Traders
Timeframes: Works on any timeframe, but test 1H or 4H for XRP—great balance of signals and noise.
Assets: Optimized for XRP, but tweak slValue and mult for other markets (e.g., tighter SL for low-volatility pairs).
Risk Management: Keep marginPercent low (5-10%) for volatile assets; adjust leverage based on your risk tolerance.
Visuals: The red stepped SL line shows only during trades—zoom in to see its tightening in action.
Visuals on the Chart
Blue Line: Upper Bollinger Band (trend entry for longs).
Orange Line: Lower Bollinger Band (trend entry for shorts).
Red Stepped Line: Trailing Stop-Loss (shifts tighter after the first profit target).
Order Labels: Short tags like "OL" (Open Long), "CS" (Close Short), "LSL" (Long Stop-Loss), etc., mark trades.

Smart Stop-Loss (SSL)Smart Stop-Loss (SSL) Indicator
Overview
The Smart Stop-Loss (SSL) indicator is an advanced risk management tool designed to help traders set dynamic stop-loss levels based on market structure, volatility, and momentum. Unlike traditional fixed stop-loss methods, SSL adapts to changing market conditions, helping to avoid premature exits while protecting capital during true reversals.
Key Features
1. Volatility-Based Adjustments
- Uses Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility
- Automatically widens stop-loss during volatile periods and tightens during calm markets
- Customizable ATR multiplier (default: 1.5x) to adjust sensitivity
2. Market Structure Integration
- Identifies significant swing highs and lows to establish support/resistance levels
- Places stop-loss levels beyond these structural points to avoid common stop hunts
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
- Identifies imbalances in order flow that often lead to strong directional moves
- Bullish FVG: A gap up where the current high is below previous low
- Bearish FVG: A gap down where the current low is above previous high
4. Smart Stop-Loss Tightening
- Automatically tightens stop-loss when FVGs are mitigated (filled)
- Uses RSI as a momentum filter to prevent premature adjustments
- Creates a trailing effect that locks in profits as trades move favorably
How to Use
For Long Positions:
1. **Entry**: Look for bullish FVG formations (green step line appears)
2. **Stop-Loss Placement**: Set your stop at or slightly below the green step line
3. **Stop Adjustment**: When price closes above the FVG zone and RSI > 50, the stop will automatically tighten
4. **Exit**: Exit the position when price closes below the green line or when your profit target is reached
For Short Positions:
1. **Entry**: Look for bearish FVG formations (red step line appears)
2. **Stop-Loss Placement**: Set your stop at or slightly above the red step line
3. **Stop Adjustment**: When price closes below the FVG zone and RSI < 50, the stop will automatically tighten
4. **Exit**: Exit the position when price closes above the red line or when your profit target is reached
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Trend Continuation
In an uptrend, when a bullish FVG appears, it often indicates institutional buying pressure. The SSL will place a stop below the swing low with an ATR buffer. As price continues upward and mitigates the FVG, the SSL tightens to protect profits while allowing the trend to continue.
Example 2: Avoiding Premature Exits
During normal market fluctuations, traditional fixed stops might get triggered too early. The SSL's adaptive nature accounts for volatility, keeping you in profitable trades longer by positioning stops beyond noise levels.
Example 3: Protecting Against Reversals
When a true reversal occurs, the momentum filter (RSI) will confirm the change in direction, allowing the SSL to maintain wider protection rather than prematurely tightening in a false move.
Tips for Best Results
1. **Timeframe Selection**: Works best on 1H, 4H and daily charts where market structure is more reliable
2. **Combine with Trend Analysis**: Use in conjunction with trend identification tools
3. **ATR Adjustment**: Increase the ATR multiplier for more volatile instruments
4. **Alert Setup**: Configure the built-in alerts to notify you when stop levels are breached
5. **Visual Confirmation**: The labels show exact stop values to help with order placement

4 EMA & MACDThe indicator that combines Moving Average and MACD into one is very useful for providing a more complete picture of the market. Here's how it works:
Moving Average (MA): This is a trend indicator that smooths the price to show the dominant trend direction. MA helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways. For example, if the price is above the MA, it might indicate an uptrend, while if the price is below the MA, it might indicate a downtrend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): MACD measures market momentum and can provide entry and exit signals based on the difference between two moving averages (fast MA and slow MA). A buy signal occurs when the MACD crosses above the signal line, and a sell signal occurs when the MACD crosses below the signal line.
Combining both gives traders a more complete view:
MA provides an overview of the larger trend direction.
MACD helps identify moments when momentum supports a position for entering or exiting.
Common usage:
Entry: If the price is above the Moving Average (uptrend) and the MACD shows a buy signal (for example, MACD crossing above the signal line), it can be a signal to buy.
Exit: If the price starts moving below the MA and the MACD shows a sell signal, it can be a signal to sell or exit the position.
There is an indicator called MACD + Moving Average Cross, which combines both elements, providing stronger signals and making it easier to follow the market.

ATR ReadoutDisplays a readout on the bottom right corner of the screen displaying ATR average (not of the individual candlestick, but of the current rolling period, including the candlestick in question).
Due to restrictions with Pine Script (or my knowledge thereof) only the current and previous candlestick data is shown, rather than the one currently hovered over.
The data is derived via the standard calculation for ATR.
Using this, one can quickly and easily get the proper data needed to calculate one's stop loss, rather than having to analyze the line graph of the basic ATR indicator.
Settings are implemented to change certain variables to your liking.
ka66: Candle Range MarkThis is a simple trailing stop loss tool using bar ranges, to be used with some discretion and understanding of basic price action.
Given a configurable percentage value, e.g. 25%:
A bullish bar (close > open) will be marked at the lower 25%
A bearish bar (close < open) will be marked at the upper 25%
The idea is to move your stop loss after each completed bar in the direction of the trade, at the configured percentage value.
If you have an inside bar, or something very close to it, or a doji-type bar, don't trail that, because there is no clarity of what the bar means, we can only wait.
The chart shows an example use, with trailing at 10% of the bar, from the initial stop loss after entry, trailing till we get stopped out. Some things to note:
Because this example focuses on a short trade, we ignore the bullish candles, and keep our trailing stop at the last bearish candle.
We ignore doji-esque candles and inside bars, where the body is in the range of the prior candle. Some definitions of inside bars include the wicks as well. I don't have a strong opinion, and this example is just for illustration. Furthermore, the inside bar will likely be the opposite of the swing bars (e.g. bullish bar in a range of bearish bars), so our stop remains unchanged.
One could use this semi-systematic approach in scalping on any timeframe, for example to maximise gains, adjusting the bar percentage as needed.
Visual ATR StopThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to display a visual range for stop placement. Two multiplier values (example, 1 and 3) can be set to create a filled area below the price. This area represents the range between the two ATR levels, adjusted by subtracting the current price, providing a simple way to visualize stop-loss placement based on volatility.
The indicator is customizable; for example, negative values can place the area above the price for short positions. The filled color can also be removed, which allows precise levels to be marked above and below.
Chande Volatility-Based Trailing Stops This indicator is developed from a description outlined in the Chande - Kroll book, "The New Technical Trader". It is designed to help control risk by plotting two lines that function as long and short trailing stops.
How does it work?
"These stops are derived from recent highest high or lowest low. They adjust based on volatility. However, to avoid giving up a sizable chunk of profit before the stop is hit, it is modified in such a way that the stop can only advance with price, not retreat. This will lock in a greater portion of potential profits..."
Settings:
The default settings are those described in the book. They are described as being best for intermediate term trades. Use the multiplier to tighten or loosen the stop. A smaller multiplier will result in tighter stops. It is recommended to adjust this value for your preferred timeframe. You can toggle the trailing stop lines on or off as well as cross over marker.
Expected Volatility, Range, and Estimated VolatilityOverview
The Expected Volatility, Expected Range, and Estimated Volatility Indicator helps traders quantify and visualize the expected price movement of a financial instrument based on historical price changes. Unlike traditional historical volatility measures that are annualized, this indicator calculates expected volatility using a proprietary transform model directly from historical price data over a specified period. This provides an immediate, timeframe-specific estimate of expected volatility without annualization, making it more directly applicable to the current trading timeframe.
This indicator should be used with the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines to enhance analysis by combining price distribution and volatility insights.
Inputs
Volatility Period (Bars): Determines the number of bars used to calculate the expected volatility. For accurate visualization, it is recommended to set this period to be the same as the one used in the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines indicator. Adjusting this period can make the indicator more responsive to recent price changes or smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Plot Mode: Choose between "Percent" or "Base Currency" to display the indicator's outputs either as a percentage or in the asset's base currency value.
Outputs
Expected Volatility (Orange Line): Displays the expected volatility calculated using the transform model based on historical price changes over the specified period and serves as a reference for typical market movements and aiding in the identification of high-risk periods or potential breakout opportunities.
Expected Range (Red Line): Represents the expected price movement range based on the expected volatility.
Estimated Volatility (Yellow Line): Provides an alternative volatility measure based on the intraday range (high-low) relative to the previous close, offering additional insights into price fluctuations within each bar.
How to Use
Risk Management
You can use either the Expected Volatility or the Expected Range to set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on your preference. Using the Expected Volatility values will generally result in tighter stop-loss levels, potentially exiting trades earlier, while using the Expected Range may allow for more room to accommodate price fluctuations.
Historical Performance Analysis
Monitor when the Estimated Volatility (yellow line) crosses above the Expected Volatility or Expected Range lines (orange and red lines). Such crossings indicate periods where actual market volatility exceeded expected levels, providing insights into the historical effectiveness of your stop-loss or take-profit strategies.
Combined Analysis with Mean and Standard Deviation Lines
Use this indicator alongside the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines to gain a comprehensive view of both price distribution and volatility. Ensure that the Volatility Period is set to the same value in both indicators for accurate visualization and comparison. This combined approach enhances your ability to identify significant price movements and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Trend Analysis
Observe changes in the Expected Volatility values to identify periods of increasing or decreasing market volatility, which may signal potential trend developments or reversals.
Identifying Typical and Extreme Conditions
The Expected Volatility serves as a benchmark for typical market movements, aiding in the identification of high-risk periods or potential breakout opportunities when price action moves beyond this range.
Preference-Based Strategy
Choose between using the Expected Volatility or Expected Range based on your risk tolerance and trading strategy. The Expected Volatility provides a more conservative approach, while the Expected Range allows for greater flexibility in accommodating market fluctuations.
Additional Notes
For accurate visualization, set the Volatility Period to the same value used in the Mean and Standard Deviation Lines indicator. This alignment ensures consistency in your analysis and enhances the reliability of the insights gained from both indicators.
Be mindful that higher volatility periods can present both opportunities and increased risk; appropriate risk management practices are essential.
Important: The Expected Volatility calculated by this indicator is not annualized , unlike traditional historical volatility measures. This makes it directly applicable to the timeframe of your analysis, providing a more immediate estimate of expected price movements.
Dynamic Supertrend1. Indicator Overview:
This indicator is designed to plot dynamic support and resistance lines based on the Supertrend strategy, incorporating volatility through the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator changes direction when the price crosses certain thresholds, generating buy and sell signals. It also highlights the prevailing trend on the chart and can trigger alerts when a trend shift occurs.
2. Key Features:
ATR-Based Trend Calculation:
The script uses the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust the distance between the Supertrend line and the price. This ensures that the indicator adapts to market volatility.
The trend is determined by comparing the closing price to upper and lower boundaries, which are calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of ATR to a source price (typically the average of the high and low prices).
Volatility Filter:
The script includes a function to check if the market is volatile by measuring the standard deviation of the closing price over the past 14 periods. This can potentially be used to conditionally enable or disable signals based on volatility.
Buy and Sell Signals:
When the price crosses above the Supertrend line, it indicates the start of an uptrend, triggering a "Buy" signal.
Conversely, when the price crosses below the Supertrend line, it signals a downtrend, triggering a "Sell" signal.
Both signals can be displayed on the chart with optional shapes (circles or arrows) and labels.
Highlighting Current Trend:
You can choose to highlight the trend with color shading. The areas above the price line are shaded green during an uptrend, while the areas below are shaded red during a downtrend. The highlighting is controlled through an input switch.
Customizable Inputs:
The script allows users to adjust the ATR period and multiplier, as well as control whether to show buy/sell signals and highlight trends.
The source price used for calculations can also be customized, providing flexibility for different market conditions.
Alerts for Trading Opportunities:
Alerts are configured to notify the user of key events:
When the Supertrend changes direction (from uptrend to downtrend, or vice versa).
When a buy or sell signal is generated.
3. Code Structure:
Input Settings: Users can customize the base ATR period, the multiplier for ATR, and control the display of signals and highlighting features.
Trend Calculation Logic: The code determines the uptrend and downtrend by comparing the current price against dynamic ATR-based thresholds. It ensures that trends persist until price action confirms a change.
Plotting and Signals: Plots the trend lines based on whether the trend is up or down. It also provides visual cues for buy and sell signals with circles and optional arrows/labels on the chart.
Alert System: Three alert conditions are defined: buy signal, sell signal, and a general trend direction change, allowing users to set up real-time notifications for trading actions.
4. Use Case:
This script is particularly useful for traders who:
Rely on trend-following strategies and want to enter trades based on price action.
Need visual confirmation of market direction changes.
Prefer to automate their trading signals with real-time alerts.
Want to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator by tweaking the ATR multiplier and period settings to suit different market conditions.
Overall, this dynamic Supertrend indicator can be a powerful tool for both manual and automated trading setups, offering flexibility and clarity in identifying trend shifts.

Weighted Vstop | viResearchWeighted Vstop | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Weighted Vstop" indicator from viResearch is a volatility-based stop-loss system that enhances the accuracy of trend-following strategies by incorporating weighted price calculations. The innovation lies in its use of a weighted closing price, combined with the Average True Range (ATR) to account for volatility. By emphasizing recent data through a weighted price, the indicator becomes more responsive to market changes, providing a dynamic tool for setting stop-losses and identifying potential trend shifts.
This weighted approach helps traders manage risk more effectively, reducing the likelihood of false signals caused by sudden market fluctuations, making it ideal for traders seeking to stay aligned with market trends.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Weighted Vstop" script starts by calculating a weighted closing price, assigning 90% weight to the current close and 10% weight to the previous close. This produces a smoother price series, minimizing noise. The core component, the volatility stop (Vstop), is calculated using the ATR and a user-defined multiplier. The ATR measures market volatility over a specified length, while the multiplier adjusts the Vstop's sensitivity to these changes in volatility.
Two key variables—the maximum and minimum values of the weighted closing price—are maintained throughout. When the price moves above the Vstop, an uptrend is signaled, causing the stop to adjust upward. If the price falls below the Vstop, the stop moves downward, indicating a potential downtrend. This dynamic adjustment mechanism helps traders lock in profits during trends and minimize losses during reversals.
Features and User Inputs
The "Weighted Vstop" script offers various customizable inputs for traders to fine-tune the indicator based on their strategies. Traders can adjust:
Vstop Length, which defines the period used to calculate the ATR, determining how sensitive the stop-loss levels are to volatility.
Multiplier, which modifies the ATR’s influence on the Vstop, allowing traders to widen or tighten the stop-loss levels.
Bar Color Settings, enabling traders to visually distinguish trend shifts by coloring bars according to the current trend direction. Practical Applications
The "Weighted Vstop" indicator is designed for traders seeking a dynamic method to set stop-losses and identify trends. The weighted price series helps reduce false signals during volatile conditions, while the ATR-based Vstop ensures that stop-loss levels adjust based on market volatility. This makes it particularly effective for:
Risk Management, allowing traders to adapt their strategy by tightening stops during low volatility and widening them in high-volatility environments.
Trend-Following, providing clear signals for when trends continue or reverse, helping traders stay in profitable trades longer while avoiding premature exits.
Reducing False Signals, where the weighted price calculation helps minimize the noise that could trigger unnecessary stop-losses in conventional systems. Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Weighted Vstop" script is valuable for its integration of a volatility-based stop-loss with a weighted price calculation. The ATR-based stop-loss dynamically adapts to market conditions, offering a more refined approach to risk management. Customizable Vstop length and multiplier settings allow traders to adjust the indicator based on their timeframes and trading preferences.
This adaptability makes the "Weighted Vstop" a key tool for optimizing risk management, providing accurate stop-loss levels that respond to market volatility without overreacting to short-term fluctuations.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions to notify traders of significant trend changes. A "Weighted Vstop Long" alert triggers when the weighted price moves above the Vstop, indicating a potential upward trend. Conversely, the "Weighted Vstop Short" alert signals a possible downward trend when the price falls below the Vstop. Color-coded bar plots offer clear visual cues to indicate the current trend, helping traders interpret real-time market conditions effectively.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Weighted Vstop | viResearch" indicator provides an adaptable and powerful solution for traders who want to use volatility-based stop-losses to identify trend shifts. By integrating a weighted closing price with an ATR-based Vstop, this script helps traders remain aligned with trends while managing risk efficiently. Incorporating this tool into your trading strategy can improve your ability to capture trends and minimize losses during market reversals, offering a reliable and customizable option for traders at all levels.

Trailing Stop ProTrailing Stop Pro is a sophisticated TradingView indicator designed to enhance your trading strategy by dynamically managing trailing stops based on market volatility. This tool leverages the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust stop levels, providing traders with a robust mechanism to protect profits and minimize losses.
Key Features:
Dynamic Trailing Stops: Automatically adjusts stop levels using ATR, allowing for responsive and adaptive risk management.
Customizable Inputs: Tailor the indicator to your trading style with adjustable parameters such as ATR Length, ATR Multiplier, and Source Vector.
Visual Clarity: Distinct color settings for long and short stops, with adjustable line thickness and transparency, ensuring clear visualization on your charts.
Professional Grade: The "Pro" designation signifies advanced features suitable for both novice and experienced traders seeking reliable and efficient stop management.
How It Works:
To set up the indicator, begin by defining the Chrono Point, which specifies the exact time you want the trailing stop mechanism to activate. This allows for precise control over when your stops begin to trail. Next, set the Credit Unit as the initial entry price for your trade, serving as the baseline from which the trailing stops will adjust.
The indicator uses ATR-based adjustments to determine stop levels. Customize the sensitivity of the trailing stop by adjusting the ATR Length (default is 14) and ATR Multiplier (default is 0.5). A longer ATR length smooths out volatility, while a higher multiplier increases the distance of the stop from the price.
Select your Source Vector from "High/Low," "Close," or "Open" prices as the basis for stop calculation. This flexibility allows you to align the indicator with your preferred trading strategy. The indicator plots trailing stops directly on the chart, with color-coded lines indicating long (teal) and short (red) positions. You can adjust the line thickness and transparency for optimal visibility.
The Mission Status feature automatically detects whether the trade is long or short and adjusts the trailing stop accordingly. If the price hits the trailing stop, the trade is considered exited, and the indicator calculates the profit or loss percentage.
Benefits:
Risk Management: Protect your trades from adverse market movements while locking in profits as prices move favorably.
Automation: Reduce manual intervention with automatic stop adjustments, allowing you to focus on strategic decision-making.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive settings and clear visual cues make it easy to integrate into your existing trading workflow.
