ATR

ATR ChannelsAn Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the EMA. Fully customizable, you can toggle the EMA and ATR set visibility, line colors, etc. Inspired by Elder's 'The New Trading For a Living' , page 93: "Kerry Lovvorn likes to plot 3 sets of lines around a moving average: at one, two, and three ATRs above and below an EMA. These can be used for setting up entry points and stops, as well as profit targets."

ATR in %Muh indicator :) Simple but so useful little script. I work in percents because this is what makes sense not "pips" and "ticks" my account grows or diminishes a certain percentage I risk "1%" for example not ticks, ticks is what bad dogs have. Was tired of calculating manually every time. Makes it easier to set stop losses, get an idea of what to expect, risk in a kind of worse case scneario, backtest strategies, compare charts etc quickly. More quick now. Example. Bitcoin and NatGas, you do NOT need leverage... optionsellers.com that somehow got surprised by Natgas volatility and squeezed, I think he did not bother doing this... Happens all the time on NatGas, that "short seller catastrophy" that made the headlines was not even that big of a spike... Plenty of way worse ones not long ago

ATR based Pivots mcbwHey everyone this is an exciting new script I have prepared for you. I was reading an old forex bulletin article some time ago when I came across this: solar.murty.net (or you can download the full bulletin with lots of other good articles here: www.forexfactory.com). You can already buy this for metatrader (www.mql5.com) so I figured to make it for free for tradingview. This bulletin suggested that you can reasonably predict daily volatility by adding or subtracting multiples of the daily ATR to the daily opening. Using this you can choose multiples to use as price targets and alternatively as stop losses. For example, if you already have a sense of market direction you can buy at market open place a stop loss at - 1 daily ATR and a profit target at + 3 ATRs for a risk to reward ratio of 3. If you are looking for smaller/quicker moves with a ratio of 3 you can have a stop loss at -0.25 ATR and a take profit at +0.75 ATR. Alternatively this article also suggests to use this method to catch volatility breakouts. If price is higher than the + 1 ATR area then you can safely assume it will be going to the +2 ATR area so you can put a buy stop at + 1 ATR with a profit target at + 2 ATR with a stop loss at +0.5 ATR to catch a volatility breakout with a risk to reward ratio of 2! Even further there are methods that you can use with ATRs of multiple window sizes, for example by opening two copies of this indicator and measuring recent volatility with a 1 week window and long term volatility within a 1 month window. If the short term volatility is crossing the long term volatility then there is a high probability chance that even more price movement will occur. However I have found that this method is good for more than daily volatility , it can also be used to measure weekly volatility , and monthly volatility and use these multiples as good long term price targets. To select if you want daily, weekly, or monthly values of the ATR of volatility you're using go to the settings and click on the options in the "Opening period". The default window of the ATR here is 14 periods, but you can change this if you want to in "ATR period". Most importantly you are able to select which multiples of the ATR you would like to use in the settings in "ATR multiple 1" which is the green line, "ATR multiple 2" which is the blue line, and "ATR multiple 3" which is the purple line. You can select any values you want to put in these, the choice of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 is not special, some people use fibonacci numbers here or simply 0.33, 0.66, and 0.99. Repainting issue: This script uses the daily value of the Average True Range (ATR), which measures the volatility that is happening today. If price becomes more volatile then the value of the ATR can increase throughout the day, but it can never decrease. What this means is that the ATR based pivots are able to expand away from the opening price, which should not affect the trades that you take based on these areas. If you base your take profit on one of these ATR multiples and the daily volatility increase this means that your take profit area will be closer to your entry than the ATR multiple. Meaning that your trades will be more conservative. While this all may sound very technical it is super intuitive, throw this on your chart and play around with it :) Happy trading!

Average True Range ShiftThis indicator builds on the idea of the Average True Range (ATR) as a way of measuring volatility. It uses two different ATRs to show a shift in market volatility. It is mainly composed of two moving averages of ATR. One fast moving, which looks back at the previous 5 periods. One slow moving, which looks back at the previous 21 periods. Both ATRs have been normalized (show percentage instead of an absolute amount). The third component of this indicator is the histogram that is created by subtracting the slow moving average, from the fast moving average. By having two ATRs of different lengths, traders can see how short term volatility compares to long term volatility, and how it is shifting over time. When the fast-moving crosses above the slow-moving, it will show a positive value on the histogram, meaning that short term volatility is increasing and higher than normal. When it crosses below, it will show a negative value on the histogram, meaning that short term volatility is decreasing, and lower than normal. There are a variety of ways to utilize this indicator, and it will work in most markets. I find it is best to analyze macro market conditions on daily charts and above, rather than micro intraday moves.

Normalized Average True RangeThis is a Normalized ATR, which means it displays ATR as a percentage instead of absolute price. For example, a value of 1 indicates a true range of 1% in a given period. This indicator creates a moving average of the volatility of a product going back X number of periods and is useful for deciding what to trade. For example, if used on a daily chart, one product displays a value of 4 you can reasonably expect it to have larger price swings and movement compared to another product that displays 1. It does not predict direction, rather the size of moves.

Manual Back Test LinesI created this indicator to primarily manually test other indicators in replay mode. To use this indicator generally you will: Select trade type: long or short Enter your ATR (enter the actual ATR). The indicator will then calculate and plot your SL and targets based on your values Default Stop Loss is ATR * 1.5 Default Target 1 is ATR * 1.5 Default Target 2 is ATR * 3 Using this indicator on Replay mode is great. What you do is go back in time. Hit play and as the indicator(s) you use provide signals pause. Pull up options: Select trade type Update ATR value Change date to entry date. Typically if you are trading off the daily timeframe you are going to wait for your current day candle to close to provide signal. That would mean your entry would be on the next day. Click play and watch, track and record how trade unfolds. Future updates: I'd like to be able to have some way to click one button and have it fire that enter trade right now on chart. Also I'm working on figuring out how to calculate the ATR on the entry date so that isn't required to be entered. Finally, I'd like to have some auto calculation on when targets and SL are hit. I have this partially done but it's more important that I use this indicator than spend time or funds to update it to do that. But I do plan on updating.

ATR SL Visualization (on chart)This indicator plots 2 sets of dots (and lines) based on your chosen ATR multiplier (Average True Range). Generally, when trading on the daily timeframe a good rule of thumb is to use the ATR * 1.5 (the default setting of this indicator). I created this indicator to quickly test other indicators but I also find it helpful in live trading. How to use this indicator: Your trade system provides an entry signal. The red dot (can be connected line in options) would be used as the stop loss for either a long or short. Then the dot on the other side would be your first 1:1 target. The blue line is the same ATR multiplier as a target (default but can be modified). Using an additional tool like the horizontal ray can be helpful to see the exact location the SL might be hit or where the target might hit. When drawing your ray ensure you’re using the right entry candle. For instance, in a long scenario you would typically be entering a trade after your signal candle closes. So draw the ray at the point in price on the next candle for both stop loss and target. Also use these dots (lines) as guides provides an easy way to plot SL and targets if you want to use the Long or Short tool. For my trade systems I don’t use price targets (I exit when structure or indicators reveal to exit) but I do find it helpful to graph when testing. When something moves in my favor either the ATR or the ATR * 1.5 I take profit and typically move up my stop loss to break even or trailing. The other strategy that could be possible but have not tested is as long as the SL is making a new high moving up a hard stop to the ATR SL each day the trade goes in your favor. This should be obvious but if you want to use just the true ATR edit the multiplier to be 1.0
