BEST Trailing Stop StrategyHello traders
Here we go again.... with the second strategy snippet.
Reminder: the first snipper was a Trailing Profit strategy script
What's on the menu?
A trailing stop is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor.
The order closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or dollar amount.
Trigger me I'm famous
I developed many trading strategies in my career and often I've been asked to trigger a trailing-stop once a certain % move has been made.
On the screenshot below, the SL trigger is plotted in maroon.
Once the price goes past that level for the first time, I'll start trailing the trailing stop level.
In other words, when we see a price makes an interesting move in percentage value - we decide to trail the stop for at least not losing any more
All the BEST

Stop ATRStop based on price volatitlty.
It uses ATR indicator multiplied by a factor as a reference for protective stop.
Guppy CBLThis is the Count Back Line script from the book Guppy Trading by Daryl Guppy.
It is usually used as a stop loss line, but can also be used to find entries.
Hope someone finds it usefull, if you find anything that is wrong with it, please let me know and I will try to fix it.
This is my first PineScript, hope it is working as intended.
Trailing % StopTrailing % Stop is a simple Stop Loss indicator which users have to define a % percent rate to trail the price like MOVING STOP LOSS "MOST" Indicator.
The main difference is MOST refers to exponential moving averages although Trail % Stop refers to source price.
Default price of source is CLOSE price which can be optimized by the user.
"What is a Trailing Stop-Loss?
A trailing stop-loss order is a special type of trade order where the stop-loss price is not set at a single, absolute dollar amount, but instead is set at a certain percentage or a certain dollar amount below the market price. A trailing stop-loss is sometime referred to simply as a trailing stop.
How a Trailing Stop-Loss Works
When the price goes up, it drags the trailing stop-loss along with it, but when the price stops going up, the stop-loss price remains at the level it was dragged to.
A trailing stop-loss is a way to automatically protect yourself from an investment's downside while locking in the upside.
For example, you buy Company XYZ for $10. You decide that you don't want to lose more than 5% on your investment, but you want to be able to take advantage of any price increases. You also don't want to have to constantly monitor your trades to lock in gains.
You set a trailing stop on XYZ that orders your broker to automatically sell if the price dips more than 5% below the market price.
The benefits of the trailing stop are two-fold. First, if the stock moves against you, the trailing stop will trigger when XYZ hits $9.50, protecting you from futher downside.
But if the stock goes up to $20, the trigger price for the trailing stop comes up along with it. At a price of $20, the trailing stop will only trigger a sale if the stock drops below $19. This helps you lock in most of the gains from the stock's rally.
In the example, you could also decide you don't want to lose more than $2 on your $10 investment. If the stock goes up to $20, the trailing stop-loss would drag along behind the price and only trigger a sale if the stock falls to $18.
Why a Trailing Stop-Loss Matters
A trailing stop-loss can be good for investors who may not have enough discipline to lock-in gains or cut losses. It removes some of the emotion from the trading process and offers some capital protection automatically.
There are some drawbacks to consider. First, you need to consider your trailing stop percentage or amount very carefully. If you're investing in a particularly volatile stock, you could find the stop level triggered fairly frequently."
Long Short signals and alarms are also included.
TAILSThis script confirms how to manage the trade. We use this alongside our other trading tools in Level 3.
Market Adaptive Stop-LossI realized that the zone changes in the stoploss remained slow, so I couldn't make enough use of the characteristics of technical indicators when opening positions.
This pushed me to keep stop-loss under the influence of a dependent variable.
This script helped me a lot (everget) :
I've redesigned the stop-loss to be affected by intersections.
Therefore, this script is also suitable for adaptive moving averages, fractional periods.
Script features:
1.You can select calculation methods created by using various technical analysis methods from the scripts' settings:
-Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( Macd )
-Stochastic Oscillator ( Stoch )
-Stochastic Relative Strength Index (StochRSI)
-Stochastic Money Flow Index (StochMFI ) (More info : )
-Know Sure Thing ( KST )
-OBV ( On Balance Volume )
-SMA ( Simple Moving Average )
-EMA ( Exponential Moving Average )
-FISHERTRANSFORM ( Fisher Transform )
-AWESOMEOSCILLATOR( Awesome Oscillator )
-PSAR ( Parabolic Stop and Reverse - Parabolic SAR )
-HULLMA( Hull Moving Average )
-VWMA ( Volume Weighted Moving Average )
-RMA (Moving Average using in Relative Strength Index calculations.)
-COG (Center of Gravity )
-ACC-DIST ( Accumulation / Distribution Index )
2 - The region is determined according to the above calculation methods and if it is larger or smaller than the previous stop loss level.
And if the price in the negative zone is lower than the stoploss, it is the exact signal and is shown with more highlighted colors.
And, in the positive zone, where the price is greater than the stoploss, the trade zones are certain.
Shown with more highlighted colors.
If the zones are correct but stop-loss is not suitable for opening positions:
In other words, if the stop-loss is above/under the highest-lowest levels in the positive zone or if the stop loss is located in the lower zone in the negative zone, these zones are shown to be darker and dimmed so that they do not cause false movements.
*** SUMMARY : As a result, you can use this script with support and resistances,and trend lines to get good results.
I hope it helps in your analyzes. Best regards.

Lancelot vstop intraday trending strategyDear all,
Free strategy again.
I found using 3 volatility stop with different settings could be very helpful when trading an intraday trending market.
With the ATR setting or 5, 10, 15, we can weed out many false break.
Vstop setting is OHLC4.
On the other hand, this strategy also utilize Renko as part of the strategy, so you could say this strategy is mainly an intraday break out trend following strategy.
Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid alt Pairs.
And lastly,
Save Hong Kong, the revolution of our times.
Silicone Re-calibrate ATRInspired by @bitmexstorm study Volatility-calibrated ATR
This study features two different ATR trail derivative concepts-Default one is called- "Silicone", and the alternative is called- "Mercurial. To decrease confusion during backtesting, trails plots with distinct color palette.
Options include the ability to apply a smoothening filter that affects both modes as well as an adaptive/fixed mode for the "Silicone" trail.
Parameters for trail dynamics/behavior is unlocked(!Parameters in publish version is far from optimized! Need serious testing! )

ATR Trailing Stop Indicator [Chart]I rely on this script for both my live trading and my backtesting process. I couldn’t live without it. It’s extremely simple – all it does is calculate your trailing stop price.
How It Works
The first number in blue is the current ATR (pips). The second number in green is your trailing stop loss price for Long trades, and the third number in red is your trailing stop loss price for Short trades.
For short trades, the stop loss price is calculated by adding the current ATR value to the highest-high of the given lookback period.
For long trades, the stop loss price is calculated by subtracting the current ATR value from the lowest-low of the given lookback period.
Settings
ATR Length:
ATR period (how many candles to include in the calculation).
Use Structure?
If set to true, the script will use swing lows and highs in its calculation. If set to false, the script will ignore swing lows and highs and give you the distance of the ATR from the current candle close instead.
How Far To Look Back For High/Lows:
Candle lookback period for swing high/lows.
ATR X ?:
This controls your ATR multiplier. For example, if you want to use a 2x ATR stop, set this to 2.

ATR (Average True Range) By TimeWhat is ATR By Time?
This premium indicator was inspired by my RVOL By Time indicator . It works on Stocks, Forex, Crypto and most Futures markets. Instead of calculating the ATR by recent price data, 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.
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, you can purchase access to the script or register for a free trial on my website: ATR By Time Feature Page .
Why Does It Cost Money?
The reason why this is a premium script that requires payment to access is because it took a lot of time, research and development in order to create. The other advantage of charging for it is that it retains exclusivity to only a select few dedicated traders.
By paying the yearly fee you get access to ALL of my premium indicators including lifetime updates and technical support.
If you don’t want to pay for this script then I completely understand and I have plenty of other free indicators and scripts that you might be interested in!
Free Trial
I am a trader myself and so I know how skeptical you might be that this indicator is worth your time and money. That is why I am offering a free trial of this indicator.
All you need to do to initiate your trial is Join My Mailing List/ on my website: zenandtheartoftrading.com
How It Works
This script uses a complex formula to calculate ATR values across distant historical bars.
Depending on the timeframe you select it will skip through historical bars to find previous bars from the same time of day. It collects these values then applies the traditional ATR formula to them.
The ATR value is determined by the maximum result of the following three calculations:
- Current high minus the current low
- The absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
- The absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
- Whichever of these three calculations comes out highest, that is your ATR for the given candle.
Once this value is calculated for historical bars the ATR indicator’s reading is typically determined by a 14-period moving average of these individual ATR values. So the ATR reading you see on your screen is an average of the past 14 ATR values.
This means that as markets expand and contract this volatility reading will adapt to the change in candle price ranges.
The difference with the ATR By Time indicator’s calculation formula is that rather than referencing recent bars it references bars based on their time of day.
For example, if you are on the 1-Hour chart and you check the ATR By Time value at 9:00AM with a Lookback period of 14, then the value you see will be the result of the ATR calculation of every 9:00AM 1-Hour candle over the past 14 trading sessions.
You can also choose to enable the ATR moving average in the settings menu if you wish. This will give you a smoothed ATR reading by averaging the current session’s ATR value with previous sessions.
This versatility gives you a sophisticated reading on price volatility which is particularly helpful for day trade setups based around market opens or market closes when volatility tends to spike.
The regular ATR indicator will not account for this on the lower timeframes, but this indicator will!
Examples
Stocks - Heatmap Scheme with regular ATR
Stocks - Price Scheme - No ATR
Stocks - Traffic Scheme - Session Average Line RMA
Stocks - Trigger Scheme - 10 sessions
Forex - RMA

Alert-QuarryLake Indicator Map - ATR Trend Following Strategy A lot of times I don't like my chart crowding with indicators, thus the reason for creating this script for my strategy QuarryLake.
This script also comes with alert.
Below is the explanation for QuarryLake
I have also updated the script in version 4.
This strategy consists of 3 indicators that I found works quite well together.
Keltner Channel, Waddah Attah Explosion, and Volatility Stop.
You can find WAE here
KC Period = 200
KCATR = 5
Vstop Period = 3
Vstop Mult = 1.5
Long when close > KC, close > Vstop, WAE trendUp
Short when close < KC, close < Vstop, WAE trendDown
Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid Pair.

ATR ChannelsATR Channels help you to identify where to place your stop-loss or trailing stop-loss based on price volatility, according to the Average True Range (ATR).
Volatility Stop trading with risk managementQuick coding of a trading system based on the Volatility Stop (VStop) indicator. In addition to that I added the possibility to calculate the position size based on the amount that you want to risk. Beware, this is the amount you want to risk per trade. The total draw-down might be higher, as you can have multiple loosing trades.

Volatility System by Wilder [LucF]The Volatility System was created by J. Welles Wilder, Jr. It first appeared in his seminal masterpiece, "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" (1978). He describes the system on pp.23-26, in the chapter discussing the first presentation ever of the "Volatility Index", built using a novel way of calculating a value representing volatility that he named Average True Range (ATR). The latter stuck.
The system is a pure reversal system (it is always either long or short). One of its characteristics is that its stop strategy moves up and down during a trade, widening the gap from price when volatility (ATR) increases. Because of this, this strategy can suffer large drawdowns and is not for the faint of heart.
The strategy uses a length (n) to calculate an ATR. ATR(n) is then multiplied by a factor to calculate the Average Range Constant (ARC). The ARC is then added to the lowest close n bars back to form the high Stop and Reverse points (SAR), and subtracted from the highest close n bars back to calculate the low SAR. Reversals occur when price closes above the high SAR or below the low SAR.
The system is best suited to higher time frames: 12H and above. Its performance depends heavily on calibration of the length and ARC factor. Wilder proposes a length of 7 and a factor between 2.8 to 3.1. My summary tests at 12H, 1D and 3D on stocks and cryptos yield better results with values of approximately 9-10/1.8-2.5 for cryptos and 9-10/3.0-4.0 for stocks. Small changes in the values will sometimes yield large variations in results, which I don’t particularly like because it tends to imply fragility, whereas I’d expect more robustness from a system with such simple rules. Additionally, backtests at 1D on cryptos provide so little data that no solid conclusions can be drawn from them.
All in all, the system is not very useful in my opinion; I publish it more for completeness, since as far as I can tell, it did not exist on this platform before. I also publish it out of respect for Wilder’s work. His book laid the foundation for many of the building blocks used by system designers, even today. In less than a hundred pages he presented RSI, ATR, DMI, ADXR and the Parabolic SAR indicators, some of which have become built-in functions in programming languages. This is a colossal feat and has not been repeated. Wilder is a monument.
Some lesser-known facts about his book:
It sells for the exact same price it cost in 1978: 65$,
The book has always been published by Wilder himself,
The layout hasn’t changed in 40 years,
He sells >35K copies/year.
Gotta love the guy.
The strategy is shown here on BTC /USD with settings of 12/1.8 (the defaults are 9/1.8). It shows the system under its best light. Other markets will most not reproduce such results. Also, the drawdown is as scary as the results are impressive.
Features
The code is written as a strategy but can easily be converted to an indicator if you want to use the alerts it can produce. Instructions are in the code.
You can change the length and ARC factor.
You can choose to trade only long or short positions.
You can choose to display the SARs (the stops) in multiple ways.
You can show trigger markers.
A date range can be defined.
3 alerts: reversals (both long and short), longs, shorts. Remember that for the moment, strategies cannot generate alerts in TradingView, so the strategy must be converted to an indicator in order to make the alerts available.
Improved Multi-Timeframe (MTF) TRL - plots same as live dataThese multi-timeframe True Range Levels use an improved calculation to accurately calculate the indicator's value with every new bar on the time frame your chart is set to. Previously the indicator only recalculated with every new update on the timeframe used in its security function. This means that this improved script plots the real, current value of your indicator across your chosen timeframes on your chart's resolution and no longer only plots only the indicator's monthly/weekly/daily/4 hour/ect closing value on the your chart.
This indicator was previously published as "True Range Bands" and uses a similar calculation the "SuperTrend" and "Volatility Stop" indicators.
Input values are fixed to their default (close,14,3) configuration to make this indicator's improved calculation possible.
When using "Plot Higher Timeframe?" the script will set the indicator to only plot its value in closest larger timeframe. This option overrides the two following options. For example, when using the daily resolution , only the weekly value will plot, or when using the one hour (60m) resolution, only the 4 hour (240m) value will plot.
The "Omit Higher Timeframes?" option will set the indicator to only plot starting from the 1/2/3/4/5/6/7th closest larger timeframe. For example, when using the daily resolution and this option set to 0, all values from the weekly resolution and up will plot, but if set to 1, all values from the monthly resolution and up will plot instead.
The "Plot Yearly/Quarterly/Monthly/Weekly/Daily/4 Hour/1 Hour/15 Minute/5 Minute?" options allow enabling/disabling a specific timeframe. All are enabled by default. For example, if you do not want the yearly value of the indicator to ever plot, you can disable the "Plot Yearly?" option.
