OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
ATR For Stop Loss (Overlay)
Updated
This script is an enhancement of ATR Indicator.
It is used to determine the stop loss position by using the ATR indicator, in conjunction with the low of the candle.
Formula = Stop Loss = Lowest(Lowest Length) - (ATR Multiplier * ATR (Smoothing, Length))
However, the user needs to manually identify the swing low for a better stop loss placement.
Parameter Information :
- Length : Period to calculate the average true range.
- Smoothing : The method used for averaging.
- ATR Multiplier : Multiplier factor to determine the Stop Loss from the lowest reference point. (1 ATR Multiplier means the stop loss would be = Low - ATR)
- Lowest Length : A total number of candle to determine the lowest reference point. (1 means only using the latest candle's low as a lowest reference point)
Have fun and good luck!
