ATR Circle PlotTitle: ATR Circle Plot
Short Title: ATR Circle Plot
Description:
ATR Circle Plot is a dynamic overlay indicator that visualizes volatility-based levels around the open price of each bar, using the Average True Range (ATR). It plots two customizable levels—Upper and Lower ATR—calculated by multiplying the ATR by a user-defined factor (default: 1.0) and adding/subtracting it from the open price. These levels are displayed as colored circles on the chart, ideal for identifying potential breakout or stop-loss zones. A movable table summarizes the ATR value, Upper Level, and Lower Level with tick precision, and a new toggleable label feature displays these values directly on the chart for quick reference.
Perfect for traders in volatile markets like forex, futures, or stocks, this indicator helps set risk parameters or spot key price levels. Users can adjust the ATR timeframe, length, multiplier, table position, and circle colors to suit their strategy. The optional chart labels enhance usability by overlaying ATR metrics at the latest price levels, reducing the need to check the table during fast-moving markets.
Key Features:
Plots Upper and Lower ATR levels as colored circles around the open price.
Toggleable table (top/bottom, left/right) showing ATR and level values in ticks.
Optional chart labels for ATR, Upper, and Lower levels, toggleable via input.
Customizable ATR length, multiplier, timeframe, and colors for flexibility.
Lightweight and compatible with any chart timeframe.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the ATR length, multiplier, and timeframe as needed. Enable/disable the table or labels based on your preference. Use the Upper and Lower ATR levels as dynamic support/resistance or stop-loss guides. For example, place stops beyond the Upper/Lower levels or target breakouts when price crosses them. Combine with trend or momentum indicators for a robust setup.
Note: Leave the ATR Timeframe input empty to use the chart’s timeframe, or specify a higher timeframe (e.g., “D” for daily) for broader volatility context. Ensure your chart’s tick size aligns with the asset for accurate table values.

Risk Context + Position SizingWhat This Indicator Does (And Doesn't Do)
This is NOT a buy/sell signal indicator. Instead, it's a risk management tool that helps you understand two critical things:
How volatile the market is right now (compared to recent history)
How much you should risk on your next trade based on that volatility
The Core Problem It Solves
Imagine you always risk the same amount on every trade - say $100. But sometimes the market is calm and predictable, other times it's wild and unpredictable. This indicator says: "Hey, the market is going crazy right now - maybe only risk $70 instead of your usual $100."
How It Works
Measures Market "Nervousness"
Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure how much prices typically move each day
Compares today's volatility to the past 100 days
Shows you a percentile (0-100%) - higher = more volatile
Categorizes Risk Environment
LOW (green): Market is calm, you can size up slightly
NORMAL: Standard conditions, use your normal position size
HIGH (red): Market is jumpy, reduce your position size
EXTREME (dark red): Market is in chaos, significantly reduce size
Important Disclaimers
This doesn't predict price direction - it only measures current market stress
You still need a trading strategy - this just helps you size it properly
Past volatility doesn't guarantee future volatility
Always combine with proper stop losses and risk management

Trimmed ATR🧠 **Brief Description**:
Trimmed ATR is a modified volatility indicator that removes extreme values from the ATR calculation. This makes it more reliable for analyzing market conditions and filters out "noise" spikes. It is particularly useful for setting stop-losses and in strategies sensitive to false volatility.
🧾 **How Does Trimmed ATR Work?**
📌 For each bar:
- True Range (TR) is calculated.
- A sliding window of the last N TR values (where N = length) is stored.
- The TR list is sorted, and trimPercent % is cut off from each side:
- The smallest and largest values are removed.
- The remaining values are averaged → Trimmed ATR.
🔍 **Why Is This Important?**
Regular ATR can be distorted by outliers:
- A single spike can sharply inflate the ATR.
- This creates a false impression of market volatility.
🎯 Trimmed ATR solves this by eliminating the impact of anomalies, providing a more stable and accurate volatility measure.
📈 **What Does It Mean If Trimmed ATR Is Higher or Lower Than Regular ATR?**
🔵 **Trimmed ATR is lower than ATR** — this is normal:
- There are isolated TR spikes (high volatility on 1–2 bars).
- ATR increases, including these outliers.
- Trimmed ATR discards them → reflects the true average market background.
🧠 This is the most common case, indicating: a spike occurred, but the market is generally calm.
🟠 **Trimmed ATR is higher than ATR** — a rare but important signal:
- There were artificially low TR values (very small movements).
- ATR becomes too low.
- Trimmed ATR discards these "quiet" periods → provides a more realistic volatility estimate.
⚠️ This may indicate:
- Hidden pressure.
- Preparation for a breakout from a tight range.
- Underestimated volatility.
💡 **Applications**:
- **Trailing Stop**: Trimmed ATR helps avoid stop triggers due to noise.
- **Trend Filter**: Better reflects the "true" market dynamics.
- **Strategy Backtesting**: Eliminates distortions in volatility calculations.
ATR Trailing Stop with ATR Targets [v6]What the Indicator Does
This custom TradingView indicator is designed for active traders who want to automate and visualize their trailing stop management and target setting, using true market volatility. It combines the Average True Range (ATR) with dynamic market structure logic to:
Trail a stop-loss behind major swings in real time, using 2×ATR (adjustable) from the highest high in uptrends or the lowest low in downtrends.
Flip trading bias between bullish and bearish when the stop is breached.
Identify and plot three profit targets (at 1, 2, and 3 ATR from the breakout/flip point) after every stop-flip, helping traders scale out or set take-profits objectively.
Maintain a visible presence on your chart every bar to avoid indicator errors, with color and labeling for clear distinction between long/short phases.
How the Indicator Works
1. ATR Calculation
ATR Period and Multiplier: You select your preferred ATR length (default is 14 bars) and a multiplier (default is 2.0).
Volatility Adjustment: ATR measures the average "true" bar range, so the trailing stop and targets adapt to current volatility.
2. Trailing Stop Logic
Uptrend (bullish bias): The indicator tracks the highest high made since the last bearish-to-bullish flip and sets the stop at - .
The stop only raises (never lowers) during an uptrend, protecting gains in strong moves.
Downtrend (bearish bias): Tracks the lowest low made since the last bullish-to-bearish flip, with stop at + .
The stop only lowers (never raises) in a downtrend.
Flip Point: If price closes through the trailing stop, the current bias “flips,” and the logic reverses (bullish to bearish or vice versa). At the new close, flip price and bar index are stored for target calculation.
3. ATR Targets after Flip
After each stop flip:
Three targets—based on the new close price—are calculated and plotted:
Long flip (new bull bias): Target1 = close + 1×ATR, Target2 = close + 2×ATR, Target3 = close + 3×ATR.
Short flip (new bear bias): Target1 = close - 1×ATR, Target2 = close - 2×ATR, Target3 = close - 3×ATR.
These targets help with scaling out, partial profit-taking, or setting automated orders.
4. Visual Feedback
Trailing stop line: Green for long bias, red for short bias.
Targets: Distinct color-coded circles at 1, 2, 3 ATR levels from the most recent flip.
Flip Labels: Mark the bar and price where bias flipped (“Long Flip” or “Short Flip”) for quick pattern recognition.
Subtle background shading: Ensures TradingView's requirement for “indicator output every bar.”
How to Use This Indicator
Parameter Setup
ATR Period and Multiplier: Adjust to match the timeframe and volatility of your instrument.
Lower periods/multipliers for short-term/volatile trading.
Higher values for smoother signals or higher timeframes.
Starting Trend: Set to match the expected initial bias if the instrument has strong trend characteristics.
Trading Application
1. Daily Bias Approach
Establish your bias in line with your trading plan (e.g., only trade long if price is above the previous day's high, short below the previous day's low).
Only look for trades in the indicator's current bias direction, as expressed by the stop and background color.
2. Entry
Use the indicator as a real-time confirmation or trailing stop for your entries.
Breakout: Enter when price establishes the current bias, using the trailing stop as your risk level.
Reversal: Wait for a bias flip after an extended move; enter in the direction of the new bias.
VWAP Rebound: Combine with a VWAP bounce—enter only if the indicator bias supports your direction.
3. Exits/Targets
Trailing stop management: Move your stop according to the plotted line; exit if your stop is hit.
Profit-taking: Scale out or take profits as price approaches each ATR-based target.
Use the dynamic labeling to identify reversal flips and reset your plan if stopped or the bias changes.
4. Market Context
Filter and frame setups by watching correlated indicators (DXY, VIX, AUDJPY, put/call ratio) and upcoming news; trade only in the daily bias direction for best consistency.
5. Practical Tips
Combine this indicator with your custom watchlist and alert settings to get notified on flips or targets.
Review the last label ("Long Flip"/"Short Flip") and targets to plan partial exits.
Remember: ATR adapts to volatility, so the stop and targets stay proportionate even when price action shifts.
ATR Stop Loss Non-Decreasing & LineThe script calculates a custom stop-loss level based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator, ensuring that this stop-loss level never decreases from one bar to the next unless a reset condition is met. It also visually displays the ATR value and the calculated stop-loss level as a line on the chart.
ADR TableTrack volatility and session momentum in real-time with customizable precision.
Key Features:
Average Daily Range (ADR): Configurable length (default 5 days), based on previous daily high–low ranges.

Turtle Trading System + ATR Trailing StopIndicator Description: Turtle ATR Trailing Stop
The **Turtle ATR Trailing Stop** is a technical indicator designed to enhance the classic Turtle Trading System by incorporating a dynamic trailing stop based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to manage risk and lock in profits on both long and short positions in trending markets.
Key Features:
- Turtle Trading Levels: Calculates the 20-day highest high and lowest low to identify potential breakout points, a core principle of the Turtle Trading System.
- ATR-Based Trailing Stop: Utilizes a trailing stop that adjusts dynamically based on a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 2.0), providing a volatility-adjusted exit mechanism.
- Position Flexibility: Supports both long and short positions, with the trailing stop positioned below the highest price for long trades and above the lowest price for short trades.
- Smooth Updates: The trailing stop updates on each bar, ensuring a more responsive adjustment to price movements, rather than only on new highs or lows.
- Reset Mechanism: Automatically resets the trailing stop when the price deviates significantly (configurable threshold, default 0.1%), adapting to major trend reversals.
- Alerts: Includes customizable alerts that trigger when the price reaches the trailing stop level, notifying traders of potential exit points.
- Debugging Tools: Features an on-chart debug table displaying ATR, Close, Highest Price, Lowest Price, Potential Stop, and Trailing Stop values for real-time analysis.
How It Works:
- For **Long Positions**: The trailing stop starts below the initial close price (minus 2*ATR) and moves up as the highest price increases, locking in profits while trailing at a fixed ATR distance.
- For **Short Positions**: The trailing stop starts above the initial close price (plus 2*ATR) and moves down as the lowest price decreases, protecting against upward price movements.
- The stop resets if the price falls (for long) or rises (for short) beyond the set threshold, ensuring adaptability to new market conditions.
Customization:
- Period Settings: Adjust the length for highs/lows (default 20) and ATR period (default 14).
- ATR Multiplier: Modify the distance of the trailing stop (default 2.0).
- Reset Threshold: Fine-tune the percentage at which the stop resets (default 0.1%).
- Position Type: Switch between "Long" and "Short" modes via input settings.
Usage:
Apply this indicator to any chart in TradingView, set your preferred parameters, and monitor the trailing stop line (yellow) alongside the Turtle highs (red) and lows (blue). Use the debug table to validate calculations and set alerts to stay informed of stop triggers.
This indicator combines the trend-following strength of the Turtle System with a flexible, ATR-based stop-loss strategy, making it a powerful tool for both manual and automated trading strategies.

Adiyogi Trend🟢🔴 “Adiyogi” Trend — Market Alignment Visualizer
“Adiyogi” Trend is a powerful, non-intrusive trend detection system built for traders who seek clarity, discipline, and alignment with true market flow. Inspired by the meditative stillness of Adiyogi and the need for mindful, high-probability decisions, this tool offers a clean and intuitive visual guide to trending environments — without cluttering the chart or pushing forced trades.
This is not a buy/sell signal generator. Instead, it is designed as a background confirmation engine that helps you stay on the right side of the market by identifying moments of true directional strength.
🧠 Core Logic
The “Adiyogi” Trend indicator highlights the background of your chart in green or red when multiple layers of strength and structure align — including momentum, market positioning, and relative force. Only when these internal components agree does the system activate a directional state.
It’s built on three foundational energies of trend confirmation:
Strength of movement
Structure in price action
Conviction in momentum
By combining these into one visual background, the indicator filters out indecision and helps you stay focused during real trend phases — whether you're day trading, swing trading, or holding longer-term positions.
📌 Core Concepts Behind the Tool
The indicator integrates three essential market filters—each confirming a different dimension of trend strength:
ADX (Average Directional Index) – Measures trend momentum.
You’ve chosen a very responsive setting (ADX Length = 2), which helps catch the earliest possible signs of momentum emergence.
The threshold is ADX ≥ 22, ensuring that weak or sideways markets are filtered out.
SuperTrend (10,1) – Captures short-term trend direction.
This setup follows price closely and reacts quickly to reversals, making it ideal for fast-moving assets or intraday strategies.
SuperTrend acts as the structural confirmation of directional bias.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) – Measures strength based on recent price closes.
You’ve configured RSI > 50 for bullish zones and < 50 for bearish—a neutral midpoint standard often used by professional traders.
This ensures that only trades in sync with momentum and recent strength are highlighted.
🌈 How It Visually Works
Background turns GREEN when:
ADX ≥ 22, indicating strong momentum
Price is above the 20 EMA and above SuperTrend (10,1)
RSI > 50, confirming recent strength
Background turns RED when:
ADX ≥ 22, indicating strong momentum
Price is below the 20 EMA and below SuperTrend (10,1)
RSI < 50, confirming recent weakness
The background remains neutral (transparent) when trend conditions are not clearly aligned—this is the tool's way of keeping you out of indecisive markets.
A label (BULL / BEAR) appears only when the bias flips from the previous one. This helps avoid repeated or redundant alerts, focusing your attention only when something changes.
📊 Practical Uses & Benefits
✅ Stay with the trend: Perfectly filters out choppy or sideways markets by only activating when conditions align across momentum, structure, and strength.
✅ Pre-trade confirmation: Use this tool to confirm trade setups from other indicators or price action patterns.
✅ Avoid noise: Prevent overtrading by focusing only on high-quality trend conditions.
✅ Visual clarity: Unlike arrows or plots that clutter the chart, this tool subtly highlights trend conditions in the background, preserving your price action view.
📍 Important Notes
This is not a buy/sell signal generator. It is a trend-confirmation system.
Use it in conjunction with your existing entry setups—such as breakouts, order blocks, retests, or candlestick patterns.
The tool helps you stay in sync with the dominant direction, especially when combining multiple timeframes.
Can be used on any market (stocks, forex, crypto, indices) and on any timeframe.
Price Extension from 8 EMAOverview
This indicator can be used to see how far away the price is from the 8 EMA. It compares this to the Average Daily Range % to see if the stock may be overextended. The "Extension Multiplier" represents how far the stock is extended away from the 8 EMA.
Core Concept
This indicator is best used for breakout trades that are trying to make sure they are not chasing the stock.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is primarily intended for analyzing daily charts of individual stocks and is often used by breakout traders to evaluate potential entry areas.
If the stock is far away from the 8 EMA, it is likely not ready to break out. If it is close to the 8ema, it could be ready to move higher.
This indicator can also be used in the opposite way. For example, shorting or puts.
Understanding the colors
Green (Not Extended): Indicates the price is close to the 8 EMA. This often corresponds to periods of consolidation.
Yellow (Slightly Extended): The price is beginning to move away from the 8 EMA.
Orange (Extended): The price has moved a considerable distance from the 8 EMA.
Red (Very Extended): The price is at an extreme distance from the 8 EMA, historically increasing the likelihood of a pullback or consolidation.
Settings
Info Row Position: Adjusts the vertical position of the display table on the chart. Useful when using other indicators.
ADR Length: Sets the lookback period for calculating the Average Daily Range. Or the average range % for different timeframes.
Timeframe: Determines the timeframe for the EMA and ADR calculation (the default is Daily).
+ ATR Table and BracketsHi, all. I'm back with a new indicator—one I firmly believe could be one of the most valuable indicators you keep in your indicator toolshed—based around true range.
This is a simple, streamlined indicator utilizing true range and average true range that will help any trader with stoploss, trailing stoploss, and take-profit placement—things that I know many traders use average true range for. It could also be useful for trade entries as well, depending on the trader's style.
Typically, most traders (or at least what I've seen recommended across websites, video tutorials on YouTube, etc.) are taught to simply take the ATR number and use that, and possibly some sort of multiplier, as your stoploss and take-profit. This is fine, but I thought that it might be possible to dive a bit deeper into these values. Because an average is a combination of values, some higher, some lower, and we often see ATR spikes during periods of high volatility, I thought wouldn't it be useful to know what value those ATR spikes are, and how do they relate to the ATR? Then I thought to myself, well, what about the most volatile candle within that ATR (the candle with the greatest true range)? Couldn't knowing that value be useful to a trader? So then the idea of a table displaying these values, along with the ATR and the ATR times some multiplier number, would be a useful, simple way to display this information. That's what we have here.
The table is made up of two columns, one with the name of the metric being measured, and the other with its value. That's it. Simple.
As nice as this was, I thought an additional, great, and perhaps better, way to visualize this information would be in the form of brackets extending from the current bar. These are simply lines/labels plotted at the price values of the ATR, ATR times X, highest ATR, highest ATR times X, and highest TR value. These labels supply the actual values of the ATR, etc., but may also display the price if you should choose (both of these values are toggleable in the 'Inputs' section of the indicator.). Additionally, you can choose to display none of these labels, or all five if you wish (leaves the chart a bit cluttered, as shown in the image below), though I suspect you'll determine your preferences for which information you'd like to see and which not.
Chart with all five lines/labels displayed. I adjusted the ATRX value to 3 just to make the screenshot as legible as possible. Default is set to 1.5. As you can see, the label doesn't show the multiplier number, but the table does.
Here's a screenshot of the labels showing the price in addition to the value of the ATR, set to "Previous Closing Price," (see next paragraph for what that means) and highest TR. Personally, I don't see the value in the displaying the price, but I thought some people might want that. It's not available in the table as of now, but perhaps if I get enough requests for it I will add it.
That's basically it, but one last detail I need to go over is the dropdown box labeled "Bar Value ATR Levels are Oriented To." Firstly, this has no effect on Highest ATR, Highest ATRX, and Highest TR levels. Those are based on the ATR up to the last closed candle, meaning they aren't including the value of the currently open candle (this would be useless). However, knowing that different traders trade different ways it seemed to me prudent to allow for traders to select which opening or closing value the trader wishes to have the ATR brackets based on. For example, as someone who has consumed much No Nonsense Forex content I know that traders are urged to enter their trades in the last fifteen minutes of the trading day because the ATR is unlikely to change significantly in that period (ATR being the centerpiece of NNFX money management), so one of three selections here is to plot the brackets based on the ATR's inclusion of this value (this of course means the brackets will move while the candle is still open). The other options are to set the brackets to the current opening price, or the previous closing price. Depending on what you're trading many times these prices are virtually identical, but sometimes price gaps (stocks in particular), so, wanting your brackets placed relative to the previous close as opposed to the current open might be preferable for some traders.
And that's it. I really hope you guys like this indicator. I haven't seen anything closely similar to it on TradingView, and I think it will be something you all will find incredibly handy.
Please enjoy!
ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.

ATRWhat the Indicator Shows:
A compact table with four cells is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the chart:
| ATR | % | Level | Lvl+ATR |
Explanation of the Columns:
ATR — The averaged daily range (volatility) calculated with filtering of abnormal bars (extremely large or small daily candles are ignored).
% — The percentage of the daily ATR that the price has already covered today (the difference between the daily Open and Close relative to ATR).
Level — A custom user-defined level set through the indicator settings.
Lvl+ATR — The sum of the daily ATR and the user-defined level. This can be used, for example, as a target or stop-loss reference.
Color Highlighting of the "%" Cell:
The background color of the "%" ATR cell changes depending on the value:
✅ If the value is less than 10% — the cell is green (market is calm, small movement).
➖ If the value is between 10% and 50% — no highlighting (average movement, no signal).
🟡 If the value is between 50% and 70% — the cell is yellow (movement is increasing, be alert).
🔴 If the value is above 70% — the cell is red (the market is actively moving, high volatility).
Key Features:
✔ All ATR calculations and percentage progress are performed strictly based on daily data, regardless of the chart's current timeframe.
✔ The indicator is ideal for intraday traders who want to monitor daily volatility levels.
✔ The table always displays up-to-date information for quick decision-making.
✔ Filtering of abnormal bars makes ATR more stable and objective.
What is Adaptive ATR in this Indicator:
Instead of the classic ATR, which simply averages the true range, this indicator uses a custom algorithm:
✅ It analyzes daily bars over the past 100 days.
✅ Calculates the range High - Low for each bar.
✅ If the bar's range deviates too much from the average (more than 1.8 times higher or lower), the bar is considered abnormal and ignored.
✅ Only "normal" bars are included in the calculation.
✅ The average range of these normal bars is the adaptive ATR.
Detailed Algorithm of the getAdaptiveATR() Function:
The function takes the number of bars to include in the calculation (for example, 5):
The average of the last 5 normal bars is calculated.

adaptiveATR = getAdaptiveATR(5)
Step-by-Step Process:
An empty array ranges is created to store the ranges.
Daily bars with indices from 1 to 100 are iterated over.
For each bar:
🔹 The daily High and Low with the required offset are loaded via request.security().
🔹 The range High - Low is calculated.
🔹 The temporary average range of the current array is calculated.
🔹 The bar is checked for abnormality (too large or too small).
🔹 If the bar is normal or it's the first bar — its range is added to the array.
Once the array accumulates the required number of bars (count), their average is calculated — this is the adaptive ATR.
If it's not possible to accumulate the required number of bars — na is returned.
Что показывает индикатор:
На графике внизу слева отображается компактная таблица из четырех ячеек:
ATR % Уровень Ур+ATR
Пояснения к столбцам:
ATR — усреднённый дневной диапазон (волатильность), рассчитанный с фильтрацией аномальных баров (слишком большие или маленькие дневные свечи игнорируются).
% — процент дневного ATR, который уже "прошла" цена на текущий день (разница между открытием и закрытием относительно ATR).
Уровень — пользовательский уровень, который задаётся вручную через настройки индикатора.
Ур+ATR — сумма уровня и дневного ATR. Может использоваться, например, как ориентир для целей или стопов.
Цветовая подсветка ячейки "%":
Цвет фона ячейки с процентом ATR меняется в зависимости от значения:
✅ Если значение меньше 10% — ячейка зелёная (рынок пока спокоен, маленькое движение).
➖ Если значение от 10% до 50% — фон не подсвечивается (среднее движение, нет сигнала).
🟡 Если значение от 50% до 70% — ячейка жёлтая (движение усиливается, повышенное внимание).
🔴 Если значение выше 70% — ячейка красная (рынок активно движется, высокая волатильность).
Особенности работы:
✔ Все расчёты ATR и процентного прохождения производятся исключительно по дневным данным, независимо от текущего таймфрейма графика.
✔ Индикатор подходит для трейдеров, которые торгуют внутри дня, но хотят ориентироваться на дневные уровни волатильности.
✔ В таблице всегда отображается актуальная информация для принятия быстрых торговых решений.
✔ Фильтрация аномальных баров делает ATR более устойчивым и объективным.
Что такое адаптивный ATR в этом индикаторе
Вместо классического ATR, который просто усредняет истинный диапазон, здесь используется собственный алгоритм:
✅ Он берет дневные бары за последние 100 дней.
✅ Для каждого из них рассчитывает диапазон High - Low.
✅ Если диапазон бара слишком сильно отличается от среднего (более чем в 1.8 раза больше или меньше), бар считается аномальным и игнорируется.
✅ Только нормальные бары попадают в расчёт.
✅ В итоге считается среднее из диапазонов этих нормальных баров — это и есть адаптивный ATR.
Подробный алгоритм функции getAdaptiveATR()
Функция принимает количество баров для расчёта (например, 5):
Считается 5 последних нормальных баров
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
adaptiveATR = getAdaptiveATR(5)
Пошагово:
Создаётся пустой массив ranges для хранения диапазонов.
Перебираются дневные бары с индексами от 1 до 100.
Для каждого бара:
🔹 Через request.security() подгружаются дневные High и Low с нужным смещением.
🔹 Считается диапазон High - Low.
🔹 Считается временное среднее диапазона по текущему массиву.
🔹 Проверяется, не является ли бар аномальным (слишком большой или маленький).
🔹 Если бар нормальный или это самый первый бар — его диапазон добавляется в массив.
Как только массив набирает заданное количество баров (count), берётся их среднее значение — это и есть адаптивный ATR.
Если не удалось набрать нужное количество баров — возвращается na.
Volatility Strategy 01a quantitative volatility strategy (especially effective in trend direction on the 15min chart on the s&p-index)
the strategy is a rule-based setup, which dynamically adapts to the implied volatility structure (vx1!–vx2!)
context-dependent mean reversion strategy based on multiple timeframes in the vix index
a signal is provided under following conditions:
1. the vvix/vix spread has deviated significantly beyond one standard deviation
2. the vix is positioned above or below 3 moving averages on 3 minor timeframes
3. the trade direction is derived from the projected volatility regime, measured via vx1! and vx2! (cboe)
Options Strategy V1.3📈 Options Strategy V1.3 — EMA Crossover + RSI + ATR + Opening Range
Overview:
This strategy is designed for short-term directional trades on large-cap stocks or ETFs, especially when trading options. It combines classic trend-following signals with momentum confirmation, volatility-based risk management, and session timing filters to help identify high-probability entries with predefined stop-loss and profit targets.
🔍 Strategy Components:
EMA Crossover (Fast/Slow)
Entry signals are triggered by the crossover of a short EMA above or below a long EMA — a traditional trend-following method to detect shifts in momentum.
RSI Filter
RSI confirms the signal by avoiding entries in overbought/oversold zones unless certain momentum conditions are met.
Long entry requires RSI ≥ Long Threshold
Short entry requires RSI ≤ Short Threshold
ATR-Based SL & TP
Stop-loss is set dynamically as a multiple of ATR below (long) or above (short) the entry price.
Take-profit is placed as a ratio (TP/SL) of the stop distance, ensuring consistent reward/risk structure.
Opening Range Filter (Optional)
If enabled, the strategy only triggers trades after price breaks out of the 09:30–09:45 EST range, ensuring participation in directional moves.
Session Filters
No trades from 04:00 to 09:30 and from 16:00 to 20:00 EST, avoiding low-liquidity periods.
All open trades are closed at 15:55 EST, to avoid overnight risk or expiration issues for options.
⚙️ Built-in Presets:
You can choose one of the built-in ticker-specific presets for optimal conditions:

📌 Best Use Case:
This strategy is especially suited for intraday options trading, where timing and risk control are critical. It works best on liquid tickers with strong trends or clear breakout behavior.
Dynamic Volatility Channel (DVC) - Smooth
The indicator's adaptability comes from a unique blend of well-known concepts:
The Adaptive Engine (ADX): The indicator uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) in the background to analyze the strength of the trend. This acts as the "brain", telling the channel whether the market is trending strongly or moving sideways.
Hybrid Volatility: This is the core of the indicator. The width of the channel is determined by a weighted mix of two volatility measures:
In trending markets (high ADX), the channel gives more weight to the Average True Range (ATR).
In ranging markets (low ADX), the channel gives more weight to Standard Deviation.
Smooth Centerline (HMA): The channel is centered around a Hull Moving Average (HMA), which is known for its smoothness and reduced lag compared to other moving averages.
Advanced Smoothing Layers: This version includes dedicated smoothing for both the volatility components (ATR and StDev) and the logic that switches between regimes. This ensures the channel expands, contracts, and adapts in a very fluid manner, eliminating sudden jumps and reducing market noise.
Mean Reversion: In ranging markets (indicated by a flatter channel), the outer bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Look for opportunities to sell near the upper band and buy near the lower band, always waiting for price action confirmation like reversal candles.
Trend Following: In strong trends (indicated by a steeply sloped channel), the centerline (HMA) often serves as a dynamic level of support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend). Pullbacks to the centerline can present opportunities to join the trend. A "band ride," where price action consistently pushes against the upper or lower band, signals a very strong trend.
Volatility Analysis: A "squeeze," where the bands come very close together, indicates low volatility and can foreshadow a significant price breakout. A sudden expansion of the bands signals an increase in volatility and the potential start of a new, powerful move.
All core parameters are fully customizable to suit your trading style and preferred assets:
You can adjust the lengths for the HMA, ATR, StDev, and the ADX filter.
You can change the multipliers for the ATR and Standard Deviation components.
Crucially, you can control the Volatility Smoothing Length and Logic Smoothing Length to find the perfect balance between responsiveness and smoothness.

KST Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
KST Strategy leverages Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator in conjunction with the Williams Alligator and Moving average to obtain the high probability setups. KST is used for for having the high probability to enter in the direction of a current trend when momentum is rising, Alligator is used as a short term trend filter, while Moving average approximates the long term trend and allows trades only in its direction. Also strategy has the additional optional filter on Choppiness Index which does not allow trades if market is choppy, above the user-specified threshold. Strategy has the user specified take profit and stop-loss numbers, but multiplied by Average True Range (ATR) value on the moment when trade is open. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
ATR based stop-loss and take profit. Instead of fixed take profit and stop-loss percentage strategy utilizes user chosen numbers multiplied by ATR for its calculation.
Configurable Trading Periods. Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Optional Choppiness Index filter. Strategy allows to choose if it will use the filter trades with Choppiness Index and set up its threshold.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Close price is above the Alligator's jaw line
Close price is above the filtering Moving average
KST line of Know Sure Thing indicator shall cross over its signal line (details in justification of methodology)
If the Choppiness Index filter is enabled its value shall be less than user defined threshold
When the long trade is executed algorithm defines the stop-loss level as the low minus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. Also it defines take profit with close price plus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. While trade is in progress, if high price on any candle above the calculated take profit level or low price is below the calculated stop loss level, trade is closed.

Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is KST, Williams Alligator, Moving Average, ATR and Choppiness Index.
The KST (Know Sure Thing) is a momentum oscillator developed by Martin Pring. It combines multiple Rate of Change (ROC) values, smoothed over different timeframes, to identify trend direction and momentum strength. First of all, what is ROC? ROC (Rate of Change) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a set number of periods ago.
ROC = 100 * (Current Price - Price N Periods Ago) / Price N Periods Ago
In our case N is the KST ROC Length inputs from settings, here we will calculate 4 different ROCs to obtain KST value:
KST = ROC1_smooth × 1 + ROC2_smooth × 2 + ROC3_smooth × 3 + ROC4_smooth × 4
ROC1 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #1), smoothed by KST SMA Length #1,
ROC2 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #2), smoothed by KST SMA Length #2,
ROC3 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #3), smoothed by KST SMA Length #3,
ROC4 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #4), smoothed by KST SMA Length #4
Also for this indicator the signal line is calculated:
Signal = SMA(KST, KST Signal Line Length)
When the KST line rises, it indicates increasing momentum and suggests that an upward trend may be developing. Conversely, when the KST line declines, it reflects weakening momentum and a potential downward trend. A crossover of the KST line above its signal line is considered a buy signal, while a crossover below the signal line is viewed as a sell signal. If the KST stays above zero, it indicates overall bullish momentum; if it remains below zero, it points to bearish momentum. The KST indicator smooths momentum across multiple timeframes, helping to reduce noise and provide clearer signals for medium- to long-term trends.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
The next indicator is Moving Average. It has a lot of different types which can be chosen to filter trades and the Least Squares MA is used by default settings. Let's briefly explain what is it.
The Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) — also known as Linear Regression Moving Average — is a trend-following indicator that uses the least squares method to fit a straight line to the price data over a given period, then plots the value of that line at the most recent point. It draws the best-fitting straight line through the past N prices (using linear regression), and then takes the endpoint of that line as the value of the moving average for that bar. The LSMA aims to reduce lag and highlight the current trend more accurately than traditional moving averages like SMA or EMA.
Key Features:
It reacts faster to price changes than most moving averages.
It is smoother and less noisy than short-term EMAs.
It can be used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points.
ATR (Average True Range) is a volatility indicator that measures how much an asset typically moves during a given period. It was introduced by J. Welles Wilder and is widely used to assess market volatility, not direction.
To calculate it first of all we need to get True Range (TR), this is the greatest value among:
High - Low
abs(High - Previous Close)
abs(Low - Previous Close)
ATR = MA(TR, n) , where n is number of periods for moving average, in our case equals 14.
ATR shows how much an asset moves on average per candle/bar. A higher ATR means more volatility; a lower ATR means a calmer market.
The Choppiness Index is a technical indicator that quantifies whether the market is trending or choppy (sideways). It doesn't indicate trend direction — only the strength or weakness of a trend. Higher Choppiness Index usually approximates the sideways market, while its low value tells us that there is a high probability of a trend.
Choppiness Index = 100 × log10(ΣATR(n) / (MaxHigh(n) - MinLow(n))) / log10(n)
where:
ΣATR(n) = sum of the Average True Range over n periods
MaxHigh(n) = highest high over n periods
MinLow(n) = lowest low over n periods
log10 = base-10 logarithm
Now let's understand how these indicators work in conjunction and why they were chosen for this strategy. KST indicator approximates current momentum, when it is rising and KST line crosses over the signal line there is high probability that short term trend is reversing to the upside and strategy allows to take part in this potential move. Alligator's jaw (blue) line is used as an approximation of a short term trend, taking trades only above it we want to avoid trading against trend to increase probability that long trade is going to be winning.
Almost the same for Moving Average, but it approximates the long term trend, this is just the additional filter. If we trade in the direction of the long term trend we increase probability that higher risk to reward trade will hit the take profit. Choppiness index is the optional filter, but if it turned on it is used for approximating if now market is in sideways or in trend. On the range bounded market the potential moves are restricted. We want to decrease probability opening trades in such condition avoiding trades if this index is above threshold value.
When trade is open script sets the stop loss and take profit targets. ATR approximates the current volatility, so we can make a decision when to exit a trade based on current market condition, it can increase the probability that strategy will avoid the excessive stop loss hits, but anyway user can setup how many ATRs to use as a stop loss and take profit target. As was said in the Methodology stop loss level is obtained by subtracting number of ATRs from trade opening candle low, while take profit by adding to this candle's close.
