Contrarian Donchian Channel Indicator with Alerts and Visuals

Title: Contrarian Donchian Channel Indicator with Alerts and Visuals

Description:

The Contrarian Donchian Channel Indicator is designed for traders who seek to implement a contrarian approach using the time-tested Donchian Channel method. This indicator not only signals potential entry points but also enhances trading visualization by marking hypothetical stop loss and take profit levels.

Key Features:

Donchian Channel Signals: Utilizes the Donchian Channel to identify potential reversal points in the market. The indicator generates buy signals when the price touches or breaches the lower band, suggesting a potential upward reversal. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price touches or exceeds the upper band, indicating a possible downward reversal.

Pause After Stop Loss: Incorporates a unique feature that pauses signal generation for a user-defined number of candles after a stop loss is hit. This helps in avoiding immediate re-entries in volatile market conditions.

Stop Loss and Take Profit Visualization: For each signal, the indicator draws dashed lines on the chart to represent the hypothetical stop loss (red) and take profit (green) levels. These levels are calculated based on user-input percentages for stop loss and the risk-reward ratio.

Alerts for Entry Signals: Traders can set up alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing them to stay informed of potential trading opportunities.

How to Use:

Entry Signal: A triangle symbol (green for buy, red for sell) accompanied by an alert (if set) indicates a potential entry point.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines: Use the drawn lines as a guide for setting stop loss and take profit levels if the signal aligns with your trading strategy.
Pause Feature: After a stop loss is triggered, observe the pause period before considering new signals to avoid overtrading in choppy markets.
