ATR x2 AUTO
Description:
This indicator automatically plots ATR-based horizontal levels for each of the most recent candles, helping traders visualize potential stop-loss hunting zones, breakout areas, or price reaction points.
It works by taking the Average True Range (ATR) over a customizable period and multiplying it by a user-defined factor (default: ×2). For each of the last N candles (default: 5), it calculates and draws:
Below green candles (bullish) → A horizontal line placed ATR × multiplier below the candle’s low.
Above red candles (bearish) → A horizontal line placed ATR × multiplier above the candle’s high.
Doji candles → No line is drawn.
Each line extends to the right indefinitely, allowing traders to monitor how price reacts when returning to these ATR-based levels. This makes the tool useful for:
Identifying likely stop-loss clusters below bullish candles or above bearish candles.
Anticipating liquidity sweeps and fakeouts.
Supporting breakout or reversal strategies.
Key Features:
Customizable ATR length, multiplier, number of recent candles, and line thickness.
Separate colors for bullish and bearish candle levels.
Automatic real-time updates for each new bar.
Clean overlay on the main price chart.
Inputs:
ATR Length → Period used for ATR calculation.
Multiplier → Factor applied to the ATR distance.
Number of Candles → How many recent candles to track.
Line Thickness and Colors → Full visual customization.
Usage Tip:
These levels can be combined with key market structure points such as support/resistance, trendlines, or the 200 EMA to anticipate high-probability price reactions.
