[INVX] Trailing StopDescription:
The Adjustable Trailing Stop Indicator is a practical tool designed to enhance your trading strategy by allowing for automatic modifications of stop-loss orders according to your specified parameters. This indicator provides a dynamic alternative to the traditional static stop-loss orders, assisting in managing your potential profits and curbing possible losses.
Features and Functionality:
The Trailing Stop Indicator provides three main inputs for customization:
"Trailing Stop Start Date" : This input enables you to set the start date for the trailing stop. From this date forward, the indicator begins tracking price changes and adjusts the stop-loss order in response.
"Trigger Delta (%)" : This represents the percentage for the trailing stop. It denotes the set percentage at which the stop order adjusts.
"Order" : This input determines whether the trailing stop applies to a Buy or Sell order. Depending on the selection, the indicator adjusts the stop price as the price escalates (for Sell order) or declines (for Buy order).
How Does the Trailing Stop Indicator Work?
The Trailing Stop Indicator functions by dynamically adjusting the stop price in line with market fluctuations. If the market price rises (for Sell order), the stop price automatically ascends, securing potential profits. In a declining market (for Buy order), the stop price descends according to the market.
This indicator eliminates the need for constant manual adjustments, reducing the impact of emotional trading and helping traders maintain their risk management strategy. By using this tool, traders can implement a more disciplined and systematic approach to trading.

Adaptive Trailing StopIntroduction
The ability to adapt to possible markets states is important in technical analysis, this is why making adaptive indicator might help get better results. I propose a trailing stop indicator using recursion that can adapt to the efficiency ratio. I have added alerts since it's a often requested feature.
The Indicator
Its quite classical, bands are firstly made then a trailing stop is built around them. The bands are recursive, this allow for faster calculations in general but it also allow for a faster adaptivity. An higher length or factor will make the indicator detect longer term trends, factor determine the raising power of the efficiency ratio.
When smooth is checked the trailing stop will appear smoother.
When adaptive is unchecked the indicator will still act as a trailing stop but might be more affected to ranging markets.
Set a static/trailing stop loss :
You can set your stop loss based on the indicator, a static stop loss can be set at the value of the trailing stop when you enter the market. You can also set it as trailing stop, the indicator will follow the trend thus allowing for potential profits to grow's.
Determine The Trend Direction :
You can generate buy sell signals based on the indicator position relative to the price, when the indicator is lower than the price this indicate a up trending market, when the indicator is higher than the price this indicate a down trending market. If the trailing stop move this indicate a strong current trend.
False signals with trailing stops can happen, the price might go toward the trailing stop making it generate another signal, when market is ranging and exhibiting cyclical behaviour this can affect the indicator and the user might get stuck in a series of false signals, higher length/factor values can fix that at the cost of less early signals.
Identification Of Support And Resistance
Bands during low volatility/ranging markets can return potential reversal points when crossing with the price. The indicator can also do it, even if high/low crosses are better suited to determine support and resistance levels when using a trailing stop. You can use support/resistance identification in conjonction of the current trend detected by the indicator.
Conclusion
The indicator is fully operational in fixed mode while having potential down points in adaptive mode. As you can see the code that return the bands is fully recursive and might provide a great way to create adaptive bands in the future.
I have been asked to give more detail about the indicator uses rather than the construction, i hope the showcased uses are convenient.
Note that the showcased uses can be applied to any trailing stop.

Fibonacci-Only StrategyFibonacci-Only Strategy
This script is a custom trading strategy designed for traders who leverage Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential trade entries and exits. The strategy is versatile, allowing users to trade across multiple timeframes, with built-in options for dynamic stop loss, trailing stops, and take profit levels.
Key Features:
Custom Fibonacci Levels:
This strategy calculates three specific Fibonacci retracement levels: 19%, 82.56%, and the reverse 19% level. These levels are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance where price reversals or breaks might occur.
The Fibonacci levels are calculated based on the highest and lowest prices within a 100-bar period, making them dynamic and responsive to recent market conditions.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:
Touch Entry: The script enters long or short positions when the price touches specific Fibonacci levels and confirms the move with a bullish (for long) or bearish (for short) candle.
Break Entry (Optional): If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script can also enter positions when the price breaks through Fibonacci levels, providing more aggressive entry opportunities.
Stop Loss Management:
The script offers flexible stop loss settings. Users can choose between a fixed percentage stop loss or an ATR-based stop loss, which adjusts based on market volatility.
The ATR (Average True Range) stop loss is multiplied by a user-defined factor, allowing for tailored risk management based on market conditions.
Trailing Stop Mechanism:
The script includes an optional trailing stop feature, which adjusts the stop loss level as the market moves in favor of the trade. This helps lock in profits while allowing the trade to run if the trend continues.
The trailing stop is calculated as a percentage of the difference between the entry price and the current market price.
Multiple Take Profit Levels:
The strategy calculates seven take profit levels, each at incremental percentages above (for long trades) or below (for short trades) the entry price. This allows for gradual profit-taking as the market moves in the trade's favor.
Each take profit level can be customized in terms of the percentage of the position to be closed, providing precise control over exit strategies.
Strategy Backtesting and Results:
Realistic Backtesting:
The script has been backtested with realistic account sizes, commission rates, and slippage settings to ensure that the results are applicable to actual trading scenarios.
The backtesting covers various timeframes and markets to ensure the strategy's robustness across different trading environments.
Default Settings:
The script is published with default settings that have been optimized for general use. These settings include a 15-minute timeframe, a 1.0% stop loss, a 2.0 ATR multiplier for stop loss, and a 1.5% trailing stop.
Users can adjust these settings to better fit their specific trading style or the market they are trading.
How It Works:
Long Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a long position when the price touches the 19% Fibonacci level (from high to low) or the reverse 19% level (from low to high) and confirms the move with a bullish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a long position when the price breaks below the 19% Fibonacci level and then moves back up, confirming the break with a bullish candle.
Short Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a short position when the price touches the 82.56% Fibonacci level and confirms the move with a bearish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a short position when the price breaks above the 82.56% Fibonacci level and then moves back down, confirming the break with a bearish candle.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
The stop loss for each trade is calculated based on the selected method (fixed percentage or ATR-based). The strategy then manages the trade by either trailing the stop or taking profit at predefined levels.
The take profit levels are set at increments of 0.5% above or below the entry price, depending on whether the position is long or short. The script gradually exits the trade as these levels are hit, securing profits while minimizing risk.
Usage:
For Fibonacci Traders:
This script is ideal for traders who rely on Fibonacci retracement levels to find potential trade entries and exits. The script automates the process, allowing traders to focus on market analysis and decision-making.
For Trend and Swing Traders:
The strategy's flexibility in handling both touch and break entries makes it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies. The multiple take profit levels allow traders to capture profits in trending markets while managing risk.
Important Notes:
Originality: This script uniquely combines Fibonacci retracement levels with dynamic stop loss management and multiple take profit levels. It is not just a combination of existing indicators but a thoughtful integration designed to enhance trading performance.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and it is crucial to test this script in a demo account or through backtesting before applying it to live trading. Users should ensure that the settings align with their individual risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Bitcoin Momentum StrategyThis is a very simple long-only strategy I've used since December 2022 to manage my Bitcoin position.
I'm sharing it as an open-source script for other traders to learn from the code and adapt it to their liking if they find the system concept interesting.
General Overview
Always do your own research and backtesting - this script is not intended to be traded blindly (no script should be) and I've done limited testing on other markets beyond Ethereum and BTC, it's just a template to tweak and play with and make into one's own.
The results shown in the strategy tester are from Bitcoin's inception so as to get a large sample size of trades, and potential returns have diminished significantly as BTC has grown to become a mega cap asset, but the script includes a date filter for backtesting and it has still performed solidly in recent years (speaking from personal experience using it myself - DYOR with the date filter).
The main advantage of this system in my opinion is in limiting the max drawdown significantly versus buy & hodl. Theoretically much better returns can be made by just holding, but that's also a good way to lose 70%+ of your capital in the inevitable bear markets (also speaking from experience).
In saying all of that, the future is fundamentally unknowable and past results in no way guarantee future performance.
System Concept:
Capture as much Bitcoin upside volatility as possible while side-stepping downside volatility as quickly as possible.
The system uses a simple but clever momentum-style trailing stop technique I learned from one of my trading mentors who uses this approach on momentum/trend-following stock market systems.
Basically, the system "ratchets" up the stop-loss to be much tighter during high bearish volatility to protect open profits from downside moves, but loosens the stop loss during sustained bullish momentum to let the position ride.
It is invested most of the time, unless BTC is trading below its 20-week EMA in which case it stays in cash/USDT to avoid holding through bear markets. It only trades one position (no pyramiding) and does not trade short, but can easily be tweaked to do whatever you like if you know what you're doing in Pine.
Default parameters:
HTF: Weekly Chart
EMA: 20-Period
ATR: 5-period
Bar Lookback: 7
Entry Rule #1:
Bitcoin's current price must be trading above its higher-timeframe EMA (Weekly 20 EMA).
Entry Rule #2:
Bitcoin must not be in 'caution' condition (no large bearish volatility swings recently).
Enter at next bar's open if conditions are met and we are not already involved in a trade.
"Caution" Condition:
Defined as true if BTC's recent 7-bar swing high minus current bar's low is > 1.5x ATR, or Daily close < Daily 20-EMA.
Trailing Stop:
Stop is trailed 1 ATR from recent swing high, or 20% of ATR if in caution condition (ie. 0.2 ATR).
Exit on next bar open upon a close below stop loss.
I typically use a limit order to open & exit trades as close to the open price as possible to reduce slippage, but the strategy script uses market orders.
I've never had any issues getting filled on limit orders close to the market price with BTC on the Daily timeframe, but if the exchange has relatively low slippage I've found market orders work fine too without much impact on the results particularly since BTC has consistently remained above $20k and highly liquid.
Cost of Trading:
The script uses no leverage and a default total round-trip commission of 0.3% which is what I pay on my exchange based on their tier structure, but this can vary widely from exchange to exchange and higher commission fees will have a significantly negative impact on realized gains so make sure to always input the correct theoretical commission cost when backtesting any script.
Static slippage is difficult to estimate in the strategy tester given the wide range of prices & liquidity BTC has experienced over the years and it largely depends on position size, I set it to 150 points per buy or sell as BTC is currently very liquid on the exchange I trade and I use limit orders where possible to enter/exit positions as close as possible to the market's open price as it significantly limits my slippage.
But again, this can vary a lot from exchange to exchange (for better or worse) and if BTC volatility is high at the time of execution this can have a negative impact on slippage and therefore real performance, so make sure to adjust it according to your exchange's tendencies.
Tax considerations should also be made based on short-term trade frequency if crypto profits are treated as a CGT event in your region.
Summary:
A simple, but effective and fairly robust system that achieves the goals I set for it.
From my preliminary testing it appears it may also work on altcoins but it might need a bit of tweaking/loosening with the trailing stop distance as the default parameters are designed to work with Bitcoin which obviously behaves very differently to smaller cap assets.
Good luck out there!
Combining Trailing Stop and Stop loss (% of instrument price)Both a trailing stop and a stop loss are necessary tools for every trader, for locking in as much profit in any given trade, while on the other hand minimizing the risks involved in trading.
I started to write this scipt to give an answer to many traders who wanted these two tools combined, but didn't find any way to program this.
TV has some shortcomings in the built-in functions regarding this topic. You can use 'stop' and 'limit', or 'loss' and 'profit' and even functions with trailing stops. But all of these lack the flexibility of the use of percentages.
I used many ideas of the community, and with this scrip I want to give back to the community.
The strategy is just a simple crossing of two Exponential Moving Averages, so do not start trading based solely on this script.
Also keep in mind that no two assets are the same, and adjustments should be made in the configuration for every asset.
This script should be viewed as a template, just take out the chunks of code you need. A savvy programmer can undoubtedly implement a 'take profit' of 50% halfway down the trade.
The features are:
-Everything is easily adjustable through the configuration section
-2 EMA's which form the strategy to go Long or Short
-Trailing stop, which adjust itself every bar according to the configuration
-Stop loss, which uses the entry price of the trade and stays at the same level according to the configuration
-The chart provides a visual reference for the levels of both stops
Happy trading!
Support and Resistance levels - DMI - DI trailing stop linesThis can be used to compliment the Directional Movement Index if used as a standalone trading system. In addition to using the ADX and DI lines, a trailing stop can be used when the DI lines cross. If the plus line is above to show a buy signal, then the low of the price of when which the cross took place is used as a trailing stop. If the minus line is above to show a sell signal, then the high of the price of when which the cross took place is used as a trailing stop. This helps cut losses sooner whenever the price would end up going through these trailing stops or support/resistance levels yet the DMI system would show an upward or downward move.
[AutoView] Trailing Stop Back Testing and alerts + TP and TSThe number one request since the creation of autoview was to have alerts triggered for Take Profit, Stop Loss and Trailing Stops. Finally, we've figured it out, and as an additional bonus, this allows us to back test trailing stops in the strategy tester.

Key Features of the Code
Multi-Timeframe Support:
The script calculates trailing stops for six different timeframes, such as 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, etc.
User Configurations:
The user can:
Select timeframes for each trailing stop (e.g., "15m", "1H").
Enable or disable each timeframe using checkboxes.
Adjust the ATR period and multiplier to customize the trailing stop calculation.
Color-Coded Lines:
Each timeframe's trailing stop is plotted with a unique color for easy distinction.
Labels for Timeframes:
Labels at the end of the lines indicate the timeframe of each trailing stop (e.g., "15m", "1H").
Summary
This code is a multi-timeframe ATR trailing stop tool that helps traders visualize and analyze trailing stops across multiple timeframes. It is customizable, dynamic, and visually intuitive, making it ideal for both trend-following and stop-loss management.
PCT Trailing Stoploss-Strategy
I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice. This is provided for illustration only for a Percent based Trailing Stoploss.
I have been looking for a Percent based Trailing Stoploss and have not been able to find one that would work for me so I wrote my own. This works in both a Strategies and Indicators I put comments inline of where to add or remove comments// depending on which one you are aiming for. The simple EMA crossovers are there just to give the strategy something to do. To use, copy the Stoploss section, the inputs at the top, and the reset under the sell section to your own script. When I first started out I found the code for removing the redundant signals and then used it in most of my scripts. For the life of me I do not remember where I got it - either in a comment in Tradingview or on a reddit post, so if you wrote that part, thank you.
About me:
I have only been working with PineScript since January 2022 and have never been much of a coder from a professional standpoint but decided to jump in and learn Pine mainly because I am a crap, emotional trader and this way I can remove that aspect of it and lose my money programmatically as opposed to making it a conscious decision :)
ATR Trailing Stop v5 One of my favorite stops is the ATR Trailing Stop-loss. With the implementation of PineScript v5, a code update was needed in order to use this stop/exit-strategy with newer strategy scripts. A timeframe selector that was not featured on earlier versions is also included. This new version can be plugged into PineScript v5 strategies, and also has a simpler/cleaner code that makes the code logic easier to follow than prior versions.
For those that are unfamiliar with the ATR Trailing Stop exit strategy; it is a trailing stop that takes into account the volatility of the underlying asset by trailing the price series using a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). In practice I’ve found that this exit can be more effective than traditional trailing stops, depending on the volatility of the asset you are trading. More detailed information can be found at www.stockopedia.com
How do I use it? Add it to your chart as an indicator to visualize where the ATR stop would be with your settings. Or, copy and add it to your v5 strategy with the addition of a ta.crossunder(close, ATRTrailingStop) or ta.crossover(close, ATRTrailingStop) function. Special thanks and credit to HPotter who coded an earlier version of this in pine!
Bands-Trailing Stop UtilityIntroduction
Bands and trailing stops are important indicators in technical analysis, while we could think that both are different they can be in fact closely related, at least in the way they are made. Bands and trailing stops can be made from a simple central tendency estimator, like a moving average, and from a volatility estimator like standard deviation, atr...etc.
This is why i propose this utility that allow you to make bands and trailing stops from any indicator in the price chart.
How To Use
All you have to do is select the indicator you want to make bands from in the settings, so just open the Bands-Trailing Stop Utility indicator settings and select your indicator in "Source". Make sure your source indicator is not in "hide" mode.
For example here i'am using a moving average as source for the indicator. Mult control how spread the bands are from each others, by default mult = 1, if we use mult = 2 we get :
Mult can be non-integer as well as lower than 1 (when lower than 1 the bands would be closer to each others)
Error/Volatility Estimators
You can choose from a wide variety of volatility estimators, select the estimator from the "Method" scrolling parameter in settings, by default the indicator will use the running mean absolute error (MAE) which don't use length. Other estimators use length, making length = to the period of the source indicator can help get better results.
The root moving averaged squared error (RMASE) is just the square root of the simple moving average of the squared difference between the closing price and the source indicator. length control the period of the moving average of RMASE.
You can also use the average true range with period length. It might work better with low lagging moving averages.
The range is simply the difference between the highest and lowest over length periods of the source indicator.
Stdev is simply the price running standard deviation.
Trailing Stop
When the trailing stop mode is checked the bands will be replaced by a trailing stop, the trailing stop will still depend on every settings of the indicator like mult/volatility estimator...etc.
Conclusion
You might find an use to this tool if you want to make bands/trailing stops from pretty much everything. The indicator used as source for the examples is a smooth exponential averager that i could share if i see interest from peoples.
Thanks for reading !
Adaptive Autonomous Recursive Trailing StopIntroduction
Trailing stop are important indicators in technical analysis, today i propose a new trailing stop A2RTS based on my last published indicator A2RMA (1), this last indicator directly used an error measurement thus providing a way to create enveloppes, which provide a direct way to create trailing stops based on highest/lowest rules.
The Indicator
If you need a more detailed explanation of this indicator i encourage you to check the A2RMA indicator post i made, parameters does not differ from the supertrend, thus having a length parameter and a factor parameter who is here described as gamma , gamma control how far away are the bands from each others thus spotting longer terms trends when gamma is higher.
On BTCUSD
Something worth mentioning is that the indicator sometimes behave like my MTA trailing stop indicator (2) who is closer to the price when a trend persist thus providing early exit points, however A2RTS behave a bit better.
Price can sometimes break the trailing stop, this can be interpreted as a support/resistance or just as an exit point, the support resistance methodology on trailing stop is not the most recommended.
Sometimes it is recommended to have an higher length rather than an high gamma like in this case for INTEL CORP, below gamma = 3 and length = 20
The microprocessor market like to use higher length's instead of higher gamma's , A2RMA is a non-linear filter, this would explain such behaviour.
Conclusion
Trailing stops might not suffer as much from whipsaw trades than MA crossovers but they still remain inefficient when market is not trending, results of the proposed indicator on major forex pairs are more than disappointing, but i hope this will serve as basis for other trailing stops that might act a little bit better. I conclude this post by thanking everyone who support my work and i encourage you to modify this indicator and share it with the community.
Thanks for reading !

TSI Indicator with Trailing StopAuthor: ProfitGang
Type: Indicator (visual + alerts). No orders are executed.
What it does
This tool combines the True Strength Index (TSI) with a simple tick-based trailing stop visualizer.
It plots buy/sell markers from a TSI cross with momentum confirmation and, if enabled, draws a trailing stop line that “ratchets” in your favor. It also shows a compact info table (position state, entry price, trailing status, and unrealized ticks).
Signal logic (summary)
TSI is computed with double EMA smoothing (user lengths).
Signals:
Buy when TSI crosses above its signal line and momentum (TSI–Signal histogram) improves, with TSI above your Buy Threshold.
Sell when TSI crosses below its signal line and momentum weakens, with TSI below your Sell Threshold.
Confirmation: Optional “Confirm on bar close” setting evaluates signals on closed bars to reduce repaint risk.
Trailing stop (visual only)
Units are ticks (uses the symbol’s min tick).
Start Trailing After (ticks): activates the trail only once price has moved in your favor by the set amount.
Trailing Stop (ticks): distance from price once active.
For longs: stop = close - trail; it never moves down.
For shorts: stop = close + trail; it never moves up.
Exits shown on chart when the trailing line is touched or an opposite signal occurs.
Note: This is a simulation for visualization and does not place, manage, or guarantee broker orders.
Inputs you can tune
TSI Settings: Long Length, Short Length, Signal Length, Buy/Sell thresholds, Confirm on Close.
Trailing Stop: Start Trailing After (ticks), Trailing Stop (ticks), Show/Hide trailing lines.
Display: Toggle chart signals, info table, and (optionally) TSI plots on the price chart.
Alerts included
TSI Buy / TSI Sell
Long/Short Trailing Activated
Long/Short Trail Exit
Tips for use
Timeframes/markets: Works on any symbol/timeframe that reports a valid min tick. If your market has large ticks, adjust the tick inputs accordingly.
TSI view: By default, TSI lines are hidden to avoid rescaling the price chart. Enable “Show TSI plots on price chart” if you want to see the oscillator inline.
Non-repainting note: With Confirm on bar close enabled, signals are evaluated on closed bars. Intrabar previews can change until the bar closes—this is expected behavior in TradingView.
Limitations
This is an indicator for education/research. It does not execute trades, and visuals may differ from actual broker fills.
Performance varies by market conditions; thresholds and trail settings should be tested by the user.
Disclaimer
Nothing here is financial advice. Markets involve risk, including possible loss of capital. Always do your own research and test on a demo before using any tool in live trading.

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.
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.
Litecoin Trailing-Stop StrategyAltcoins Trailing-Stop Strategy
This strategy is based on a momentum breakout approach using PKAMA (Powered Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average) as a trend filter, and a delayed trailing stop mechanism to manage risk effectively.
It has been designed and fine-tuned Altcoins, which historically shows consistent volatility patterns and clean trend structures, especially on intraday timeframes like 15m and 30m.
Strategy Logic:
Entry Conditions:
Long when PKAMA indicates an upward move
Short when PKAMA detects a downward trend
Minimum spacing of 30 bars between trades to avoid overtrading
Trailing Stop:
Activated only after a customizable delay (delayBars)
User can set trailing stop % and delay independently
Helps avoid premature exits due to short-term volatility
Customizable Parameters:
This strategy uses a custom implementation of PKAMA (Powered Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average), inspired by the work of alexgrover
PKAMA is a volatility-aware moving average that adjusts dynamically to market conditions, making it ideal for altcoins where trend strength and direction change frequently.

User Inputs
Trade Setup: Allows users to set the trade direction (Long or Short), the signal source for entries, and the specific bar time for the trade setup.
ATR Settings: Configurable ATR lookback period, ATR smoothing period, initial ATR multiplier for setting the stop-loss, breakeven ATR multiplier, and a manual breakeven level.
ATR Calculations
Computes the ATR and its moving average.
Determines initial and breakeven stop levels based on the ATR.
Signal Validation
Validates long or short trade signals based on the specified bar time and trade direction.
Triggers alerts when a valid trade signal is detected.
Trailing Stop Logic
For long trades, adjusts the stop-loss level dynamically based on the ATR.
For short trades, performs similar adjustments in the opposite direction.
Updates the trailing stop level to ensure it follows the price, moving closer as the price moves favorably.
Resets the trade state when the stop-loss is hit, triggering an alert.
Plotting
Plots the trailing stop levels on the chart.
Uses green for stop levels indicating profit and red for stop levels indicating a loss.
TrailingStopsLibrary "TrailingStops"
This library contains functions to output trailing stop lines.
f_marketStructureStop(_restartMode, _flipMode, _restartLowIn, _restartHighIn)
Parameters:
_restartMode - Defines how the stop lines persist. Allowed values are:
"Always On" - The stop lines are always present and they just reset when they're crossed.
"Flip" - The stop lines flip when they're crossed.
"Manual" - The stop lines turn off when they're crossed, and turn back on again when _restartLowIn or _restartHighIn are passed into the function as true.
_flipMode - Defines whether the stop lines are broken by wicks or closes. Allowed values are "Wick", and "Close".
_restartLowIn - If _restartMode is "Manual", passing this parameter as true restarts the Low stop line.
_restartHighIn - If _restartMode is "Manual", passing this parameter as true restarts the High stop line.
@returns - floats for the Low and High stop line.
London Breakout with MDX Trailing StopThis indicator aims to aid in using the regular London Breakout strategy, as well as improve on it by adding a trailing stop based on the Mean Deviation Index.
The London Breakout strategy (according to my personal understanding) basically sees the morning before London open as the accumulation or distribution range for large buyers or sellers, and assumes the market will break either above that mornings high or below that mornings low when they start to move price. It is mostly used to trade stock indices and forex.
This indicator plots the morning high and low for each day. The green line is the morning high, and the red line is the morning low. If price moves above the green line (the morning high) it fills that area with a green color. If price moves below the green line (the morning low) it fills that area with a red color. This makes the breakouts easy to spot.
The background color of the chart turns green when the MDX is above 0 (price is more than X times ATR above the mean) and a breakout above the morning high has occurred, and stays green until the opposite happens.
The background color of the chart turns red when the MDX is below 0 (price is more than X times ATR below the mean) and a breakout above the morning high has occurred, and stays green until the opposite happens.
The default for X above is 1.0, but this can be changed in the settings by changing "ATR Multiplier".
The background is always neutral during the morning session since the morning high and morning low are not established yet.
A trailing stop is shown when price is more than X times away from the mean and a breakout has occured. The distance is set using the MDX. The trailing stop uses a separate ATR multiplier though, to make the signal and trailing stop MDX values different, if one likes. The default ATR multiplier for the trailing stop is 1.25, but this can be changed is the settings by changing "ATR multiplier for trailing stop".
When the high or low of a candle breaks the trailing stop, it is moved further away, indicating you have been stopped out, but gives opportunity to use it if you enter again (so it doesn't just disappear).
As an added bonus, take profit levels have been added based on the mornnig range. The take profit distance is set by multiplying the range with a factor. The levels are then plotted that distance from the morning high and morning low.

Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
