4C ATR w/ Reference LineThe 4C ATR is a simple indicator that plots a horizontal line on the ATR indicator, which can be used as a minimum or maximum reference value.
Some trading setups have specific criteria that require a minimum ATR on a certain timeframe for the instrument to be playable. The horizontal line is useful as a quick visual reference, and can be adjusted to any specific level for any timeframe. If the ATR dips below the horizontal line, the trader can quickly see that the ATR is below the minimum criteria, and should not trade that instrument (based on their personal trade criteria).
This indicator also features a color change of the ATR line based on trend direction. If the ATR is trending up, it is painted blue, and if it starts to trend down, it is painted red. It uses a hidden simple moving average of the ATR, and the slope direction of the moving average paints the ATR line. The moving average length can be adjusted, and is set at a length of 8 for default. The ATR is set at a default value of 14.
Parts of this script used the default/stock Tradingview ATR indicator to build off of.

Trend: SMA with ATR Bands and EMA [Oxyge]Brief introduction:
Easy to use trend indicator to help find entry positions
How it works:
1, short-term trend judgment: EMA is greatly influenced by short-term trends, so it is very good to use it as a tool for judging short-term trends. At the same time, the filtering function has been added:
Long: green
Short: red
No direction: blue
2, the general trend judgment: the use of 30SMA as the default trend line, while increasing the ATR band to increase the scope of judgment.
How do I use (assuming it is now a period of long market):
1, first look at the 30SMA and ATR band, if the slope is positive (> 45 °), then ready to go long!
2. When price comes to the ATR band, the ATR band is my point of interest
3. Wait for a test of the ATR band: the EMA turns green, which means that the short-term trend is already nice and long.
4. Stop Loss Placement: Stop Loss is placed at the most recent low.
Closing
Enjoy it!

简单介绍：
简单易用的趋势指标，帮助寻找进场位置
它怎么工作：
1、短期趋势判断：EMA受短期趋势影响很大，因此把它作为判断短期趋势的工具非常好用。同时增加了过滤功能：
多头：绿色
空头：红色
无方向：蓝色
2、大趋势判断：使用30SMA作为默认趋势线，同时增加ATR带增加判断范围。
我是如何使用的（假设是现在是一段多头行情）：
1、先看30SMA和ATR带，如果斜率为正（>45°），那么准备做多
2、当价格来到ATR带时，ATR带是我的感兴趣的点
3、等待一次对于ATR带的测试：EMA变成绿色，代表短期已经是不错的多头趋势
4、止损放置：止损放置在最近的低点

Trend & atr day & calcHi!
Why for what and how in this script?
At the time of publication the script consists of three modules, it may increase in the future.
1. Bottom left corner : daytime ATR module
(idea and basis of the author's script - ???)
- The size of the daily ATR based on 14 bars;
- intraday ATR progress;
- colour indication of the progress status, for easier visual perception (green < 70%, yellow 70-90 and red over 90% of ATR)
By evaluating the progress of the daily ATR, it is possible to suggest and expedient to enter/exit/hold a trade.
2. Top right: trend module
The trend is calculated based on Bill Williams' alligator indicator
- trend status on specified timeframes for the current ticker;
- colour indication for visual perception (green - growing trend, yellow - alligator is sleeping, red - downtrend)
Do not forget that the alligator is based on moving averages with the resulting consequences.
Its purpose is to assess the state of the trend on other ticker TFs, without additional actions (switching to another screen or TF)
3. In the bottom left corner - risk and position calculator
(based on an idea of the risk calculator by @andrei.bunulu)
It helps to determine the advisability of entering the trade and also what size position to enter into the trade, within money management strategy chosen.
- The calculator works in two directions: long deal and short deal (short deal calculation is enabled by check-box in settings)
- two calculation methods:
a. based on the set stop loss % (default is 0.3%), in this mode the stop and takeout level is automatically calculated (default is 1 / 3).
b. by entering the desired price levels (entry, stop and take profit points)
To make this work correctly please do not forget to choose the type of calculation (% or price) in the settings, and the currency symbol (for visual representation in the results).
The calculator can take into account the set commissions and spreads.
When hovering over the module - tooltips are displayed.
Each module can be enabled / disabled in the settings.
The size and arrangement of the modules is made for joint use with the script - "Abnormal Bar".
/// а по-русски это так ///
Привет!
Зачем для чего и как в этом скрипте?
На момент публикации скрипт состоит из трех модулей, возможно в будущем увеличится.
1. В левом нижнем углу : модуль дневного ATR
(идея и основа скрипт автора - ???)
- размер дневной ATR на основании 14 баров;
- прогресс ATR внутри дня;
- цветовая индикация состояния прогресса, для более простого визуального восприятия (зеленый < 70%, желтый 70-90 и красный более 90% ATR)
Оценивая прогресс дневного ATR, можно предположить и целесообразности входа / выхода / удержания из сделки.
2. В правом верхнем углу: модуль тренда
Тренд рассчитывается на основе индикатора - аллигатор Билла Вильямса
- состояние тренда на указанных таймфреймах для текущего тикера;
- цветовая индикация для визуального восприятия (зеленый - растущий тренд, желтый - аллигатор спит, красный - нисходящий тренд)
Не забываем, что аллигатор построен на основе скользящих средних с вытекающими последствиями.
Назначение - оценить состояние тренда на других ТФ тикера, без дополнительных действий (переключения на другой экран или ТФ)
3. В нижнем левом углу - калькулятор рисков и позиции
(на основе идеи калькулятора аuthor: @andrei.bunulu)
Помогает определить целесообразность входа в сделку, а также каким размером позиции входить в сделку, в рамках выбранной стратегии мани менеджмента.
- калькулятор работает в два направления: длинная и короткая сделка (расчет по короткой включается в настройках чек-боксом)
- два варианта расчета:
а. на основании установленного % стоп лосса (по-умолчанию 0,3%), при этом режиме происходит автоматический расчет уровня стопа и тейка (по умолчанию 1 / 3).
b. путем ввода данных желаемых уровней цены (точки входа, стопа и тейк профита)
Для корректной работы не забываем в настройках выбирать тип расчета (% или цена), а также символ валюты (для визуального отображения в итогах).
Калькулятор может учитывать установленный размер комиссий и спреда.
При наведении на модуль - отображаются подсказки.
Каждый модуль можно включить / выключить в настройках.
Размер и расположение модулей сделано для совместного использования со скриптом - "Abnormal Bar"
4c ATR ThresholdThe 4C ATR Threshold is a simple indicator that paints the chart background red when the ATR goes below the user defined ATR minimum.
Some trading setups have specific criteria that require a minimum ATR on a certain timeframe for the instrument to be playable.
The painting of the chart background based on the ATR value is useful as a quick visual reference.
The minimum ATR value can be adjusted to any specific level for any timeframe.
If the ATR dips below the user defined minimum, the trader can quickly see that the ATR is below the minimum criteria, and should not trade that instrument (based on their personal trade criteria).
If the background is not painted by the indicator, then the ATR is above the user defined minimum.
Parts of this script used the default/stock Tradingview ATR indicator to build from.
Zero-Lag ATR Trend [BackQuant]Zero-Lag ATR Trend
Overview
Zero-Lag ATR Trend is a volatility-adaptive trend-following overlay designed to identify directional market regimes with minimal delay while preserving structural clarity. The indicator combines a zero-lag moving average framework with a zero-lag volatility model to produce a trailing trend line that reacts quickly to meaningful price changes without becoming unstable or overly sensitive.
Unlike conventional ATR-based trend tools that rely on lagging averages and delayed volatility estimates, this indicator applies zero-lag logic to both the trend centerline and the volatility calculation. The result is a trend structure that aligns more closely with real-time price action while still maintaining the discipline required for trend continuation trading.
Core design philosophy
The core idea behind Zero-Lag ATR Trend is simple:
Reduce signal delay without sacrificing trend integrity.
Adapt dynamically to changing volatility regimes.
Provide a single, clean structure that defines trend direction, continuation, and invalidation.
Instead of stacking multiple indicators, the script builds a complete trend framework from two tightly integrated components: a zero-lag trend spine and a zero-lag ATR trailing mechanism.
Zero-lag trend spine
The trend spine is constructed using a zero-lag moving average (ZLMA). This is achieved by applying a corrective step to a traditional moving average, effectively compensating for smoothing delay.
Conceptually, the process works as follows:
A base moving average is calculated from the selected price source.
That moving average is then passed through a zero-lag correction.
The correction pulls the line closer to current price without introducing noise.
This produces a trend line that reacts faster than standard EMA, SMA, or HMA signals, particularly during early trend acceleration phases. Multiple moving-average types can be used inside the zero-lag framework, allowing traders to fine-tune responsiveness based on asset behavior and timeframe.
Zero-lag volatility model
Volatility is measured using True Range, but instead of applying classic ATR smoothing, the indicator uses a zero-lag smoothing pass on the True Range itself.
This approach offers several advantages:
Volatility expands more quickly during impulse moves.
Volatility contracts faster during consolidations.
Band width adjusts in near real-time to changing conditions.
The smoothed zero-lag ATR is multiplied by a user-defined factor to create adaptive upper and lower boundaries around the trend spine. These boundaries define how much counter-movement price is allowed before the trend structure is invalidated.
Volatility-aware trailing structure
The trailing output is the defining feature of the indicator. It behaves as a one-directional trailing structure:
In bullish conditions, the trailing line can only move upward.
In bearish conditions, the trailing line can only move downward.
Minor pullbacks inside the volatility envelope do not flip the trend.
This logic prevents the indicator from reacting to shallow retracements and focuses instead on structural trend changes. Because the trailing behavior is volatility-scaled, the indicator remains stable during high volatility while still responding promptly during regime shifts.
Trend flips and regime transitions
Trend direction is determined by changes in the trailing structure itself rather than raw price crosses. A trend flip occurs only when price movement is strong enough, relative to current volatility, to force the trailing line to reverse direction.
This means:
Bullish flips represent genuine transitions into upward regimes.
Bearish flips represent genuine transitions into downward regimes.
Sideways noise is largely filtered out.
As a result, the indicator is well suited for identifying medium-to-long trend phases rather than short-term oscillations.
Visual structure and chart clarity
The visual design is intentionally minimal and functional:
The main trailing line is color-coded by trend direction.
An optional ribbon or cloud reinforces directional bias.
Optional candle coloring aligns price bars with the active trend.
These elements allow traders to assess trend state instantly without interpreting multiple signals or overlays.
How to use for trend following
Trend bias
Maintain a bullish bias while price holds above the trailing line.
Maintain a bearish bias while price holds below the trailing line.
Entries
Trend flips can be used as initial directional entries.
Pullbacks toward the trailing line often act as continuation opportunities.
Momentum confirmation can be layered on top for additional confluence.
Trend management
The trailing line naturally functions as a dynamic stop reference.
As long as price respects the trailing structure, the trend remains valid.
A flip in direction signals a full regime transition rather than a minor correction.
Why zero-lag matters for trend trading
Traditional trend indicators often react late, especially during fast expansions, resulting in delayed entries and early exits. By reducing lag in both the trend calculation and the volatility model, Zero-Lag ATR Trend aims to capture a larger portion of directional moves while maintaining consistency and discipline.
This makes it particularly effective for momentum-based trend following, breakout continuation strategies, and traders who prioritize staying aligned with dominant market structure rather than predicting reversals.
Summary
Zero-Lag ATR Trend is a complete trend-following framework built around responsiveness, adaptability, and clarity. Its zero-lag architecture allows it to respond earlier to meaningful price changes, while its volatility-aware trailing logic ensures that trends are only invalidated when structure truly breaks. The result is a clean, intuitive tool that supports disciplined trend participation across assets and timeframes.

How to use this indicator:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Notes:
These indicators are available as oscillators to place under your chart through trading view but this indicator will place them on the chart in numerical only format.

Custom ATR Trailing StopThis Script creates a custom ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop. It allows traders to set up automated stop-loss levels based on the ATR, which adjusts dynamically to market volatility. The script is designed to support both long and short trades, offering flexibility and precision in trade management.
When loading the indicator to your chart, simply click to set the trade begining time, confirm various settings and you are set.
Check tooltips for more details in the input settigns menu.
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.
Interactive ATR Stop-Loss [TANHEF]This indicator is "Interactive" which means some inputs can are manually added through the first click after adding the indicator to the chart (ATR Trailing Stop-loss start point). See images below for more explanation.
Why use a trailing stop-loss?
A trailing stop-loss provides an exit when price moves against you but also enables you to move the exit point further into profit when price is moving in the desired direction of a trade. The ATR (Average True Range) which is used to measure volatility, is very effective at functioning as a trailing stop loss.
Indicator Explanation
Initially when this indicator is added to the chart, you will be prompted to select where to begin the ATR Trailing Stop-loss.
For a long stop-loss, select below price.
For a short stop-loss, select above price.
After this indicator is placed, it can be modified via dragging or from within the settings by modifying the time and the price input. Or simply re-add the indicator to the chart.
The ATR Stop Loss plotted. Note that the trailing value that is considered as the stop loss value is the value of the ATR from the prior candle. The settings for the ATR calculation can be modified within the settings.
An optional fixed profit target can be added within the settings. This profit target will only actively be plotted when the ATR Trailing Stop-loss has not be hit hit yet or until the profit target has been hit.
Here shows that the profit target was hit, then later on the ATR Trailing Stop-loss was hit.
Note, trailing stop-loss will continue to be plotted until it has been hit regardless of the profit target being hit or not.
Alerts
1. 'Check' alerts to use within indicator settings (trailing stop hit and/or profit target hit).
2. Select 'Create Alert'
3. Set the condition to 'Interactive ATR''
4. Select create.
Bar By Bar ATR [upslidedown]After seeing strategy after strategy refer to calculating ATR values using a "calculator" (how barbaric!), I thought I'd take a stab at one possible solution to the "problem" as an overlay indicator on the main chart that replaces traditional standard ATR bands. This indicator presents ATR within a channel with a slick trick: invisible hover-able tooltips for you to know the ATR value for your strategy from bar to bar. Just zoom in and hover over the high ATR range and you'll see take profit and stop loss values for whatever strategy you might be running. I defaulted the indicator to a 1:1.5 ATR standard setup because that is good for many strategies but this is as configurable as you'd like to make it. One notable improvement for this indicator over standard ATR bands is that many existing ATR bands only use integers and this one uses a float value, so you can endlessly customize based on whatever strategy you might be running.
Note: Because labels are limited by default, the best way to historically see ATR values is to use TV's replay feature. I did this on purpose to limit resource usage. One could certainly print more labels but I felt it unnecessary to go beyond the default number of labels.
Elder Impulse System + ATR BandsDisregard the above chart, I am not sure why it isn't showing the one I want, which is linked below:
This is as far as I can tell the closest representation to Dr. Alexander Elder's updated "Elder Impulse System" that has added ATR-volatility bands up to 3x deviations from price. I got the idea from watching this recent video (www.youtube.com) of Dr. Elder reviewing some recent trades and noticed he had updated his system from his original books. The Impulse System colour coding was inspired by AstralLoverFlow and LazyBear. ATR Bands are pre-programmed Keltner Channels with some modifications such as filing in the ATR Zones with user-selected colour bands and modifying the ATR value to better suit the volatility of the market being traded.
The script has several components, which I will detail below:
Exponential Moving Averages:
1) A 13-period EMA that is used as a staple in all of Dr. Elder's technical analysis. He uses this EMA as the basis for all of his indicators and why it is included here.
2) A 26-period EMA which can be used as a base-line of sorts to filter when to go long or when to go short. For instance, price over the 26-EMA, price is strong and the rally upwards is likely to continue, underneath it, price is weak and likely to continue downwards for a time.
Volatility Bands:
By definition these are nothing more than 3 separate Keltner Channels of a 13-period EMA each set to one additional multiplier from the moving average. This gives us a 1x, 2x, and 3x multiplier of average volatility from the 13-period EMA based on a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) reading. The ATR was chosen as it accommodates price gaps and also is the standard formula calculation in TradingView. The values of the bands cannot be adjusted but the colour coding of them can be.
Elder Impulse System:
These colour-coded bars show you the strength and direction of the current chart resolution, calculated by the slope of a 13-period EMA and the slope of a MACD histogram. These are used not as a buying or selling recommendation alone but as trend filters, as per Dr. Elder's own description of them.
Green Bars = The 13-period EMA is sloping positively and the MACD histogram is rising compared to previous bars. The trader should only consider buying/long opportunities when a green bar is most recent.
Red Bars = The 13-period EMA is sloping negatively and the MACD histogram is falling compared to previous bars. The trader should only consider selling/short opportunities when a red bar is most recent.
Blue Bars = The 13-period EMA and the MACD histogram are not aligned. One of the indicators is sloping opposite to the other indicator. These are known as indecision bars and are typically seen near the end of a previously established trend. The trader can choose to wait for either a green or red bar to shape their trading bias if they are more risk-averse while a counter-trend trader may decide to try opening a position against the currently-established trend.
How To Trade the System:
This system is unique in that it is so versatile and will fit the styles of many traders, be it trend following traders (generally the original Elder Impulse System design) or mean-reversion/counter-trend trading (the original Keltner Channel design). None of the examples below or in the chart above are financial advice and are just there for demonstration purposes only.
1) The most basic signal given would be the moving average cross up or down. A cross of the 13-EMA over the 26-EMA signals upward trend strength and the trader could look for buying opportunities. Conversely, the 13-EMA under the 26-EMA shows downward trend strength and the trader could look for selling opportunities.
2) Following the Elder Impulse system in conjunction with the EMAs. Look for long opportunities when a green bar is printed and price is over both of the 13- and 26-period EMAs. Look for short opportunities when a red bar is printed and price is below both of the 13- and 26-period EMAs. Keep in mind this does not necessarily need a moving average cross to be viable, a green or red bar over both EMAs is a valid signal in this system, usually. Examine price more closely for better entry signals when a blue bar is printed and price is either above or below both EMAs if you are a trend trader. This is how Dr. Elder originally intended the system to be used in conjunction with his famous Triple Screen Trading System. I am not going into detail here as it is a deep subject but I would suggest an interested trader to examine this Triple Screen System further as it is widely accepted as a strong strategy.
3) Mean Reversion and Counter-Trend Trading. Dr. Elder mentions that the zone between the two EMAs is called the Value Zone. A mean reversion trader could look for buying opportunities if price has generally been in an uptrend and falls back to value, conversely, they could look for shorting opportunities if price has generally been in a downtrend and rises back to value. These are your very basic pull backs found in trends that create your higher lows in an uptrend or your lower highs in a downtrend. A mean reversion/scalper trader may also look to use the upper and lower most ATR bands as an indication of price being overbought or oversold and could look to enter a counter-trend trade here once a blue indecision bar is printed and to ride that move back down to the Value Zone.
Taking Profits and Risk Management
This system again is very versatile and will fit a wide range of trading styles. It has built in take profit levels and risk management depending on your style of trading.
1a) In original Triple Screen Trading (and the original Elder Impulse system), a trader was to place a buy order one tick above a newly printed green bar with a stop loss one tick below the most recent 2-day low, and vice-versa for red bars on short selling. as long as other criteria were met, that I will not go into. It is all over YouTube and in his books and on Investopedia if you want more information. The general idea is to continue the trend in the direction if price is strong and you are bought into that move with a close stop, or if price falls back a little bit, you can get in at a better price. This would be a system typically better suited to a scalper.
1b) The updated risk management according to the above video is to place a stop loss at least 2ATR away from price. These bands already have calculated these values so a trader can place a stop one tick below the 2 or even 3ATR zones depending on their risk appetite. This is assuming you have already received a strong buy signal based on the system you follow. This would be a system typically better suited to a trend-trader.
2a) Taking profits if you are a trend trader has several possibilities. The first, as Dr. Elder suggests, is to place a price target 2ATR values away from your entry giving you approximately a 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
2b) The second possibility if the trade is successful is to ride the trend upwards until a blue bar is printed, suggesting indecision in the market. A modified version of this that could let a winning trade run longer is to wait for the price to close under the 13-EMA in fast markets, or close under the 26-EMA in slightly slower markets to maximize potential winnings.
2c) A scalper trader may wish to have a target at either the value zone if they are playing an extended buy/short back to the mean, or if they are being at the mean, to sell or cover when price extends back out to the 2x or 3x zone.
3) Trend traders can additionally use the ATR zones as a sort of safety guidelines for entering a trade. Anything within the 1ATR zone is typically a safer entry as the market is less volatile at this time. Entering when price has gone into the 2ATR zone is signaled as a strong momentum move and can signal a stronger move in the direction of the current closing bar. While not always the case, it is suggested by Dr. Elder to not enter trend trades at the 3ATR zone as this is where you will be likely looking for a counter-trend retracement back to value and a trader entering here in the direction of the trade has a higher chance of being stopped out or not getting in at the best possible price.
ATR Percentile [racer8]ATR Percentile shows you the percentile that the current ATR is at relative to it's previous values.
There are 3 parameters: ATR length, Percentile length, Percentile level.
This is indicator is very interesting because it's based on an indicator that originally doesn't generate signals.
When the current ATR's percentile is higher than the Percentile level, the histogram turns red signalling that the market is more volatile than usual.
For example, ATR len = 10, percentile len = 80, percentile lvl = 70
A signal will be generated when the current ATR(10) is higher than 70% of 80 of it's previous values.
ATR Percentile is range bound between 0 and 100. The histogram's value represents a percentage between that range.
ATR Percentile = ( number of ATR values below current ATR over n periods / n periods ) * 100

This Pine Script code for TradingView is a multifactor Buy/Sell indicator that combines several technical factors to generate trading signals based on trend, volatility, and volume conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the main components and functionality:
Indicator Name
- Multifactor Buy/Sell Strategy V2 — an overlay indicator applied directly on the price chart.
### Input Parameters
The script includes multiple customizable parameters:
- RSI, EMA, MACD parameters — for setting periods and signals of MACD and RSI.
- ATR and Bollinger Bands — used for volatility analysis and level determination.
- Minimum Volatility Threshold — sets a minimum Bollinger Band width threshold for determining high volatility.
Core Indicators
1. RSI — calculated to identify oversold (below 30) and overbought (above 70) conditions.
2. EMA and MACD — calculates exponential moving averages and MACD histogram to determine trend direction.
3. ATR and Bollinger Bands — used to assess current volatility and establish dynamic upper and lower bands.
Volatility and Volume Analysis
- Determines the current ATR level and Bollinger Band width to evaluate high volatility.
- Calculates the volume moving average to track periods of increased volume during high volatility.
Trend Analysis
The script uses the difference between fast and slow EMAs to define strong trends:
- Uptrend — when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, the price is above the fast EMA, and the trend is strong.
- Downtrend — when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, the price is below the fast EMA, and the trend is strong.
Momentum Filter
- Based on the price change over the last three bars and compared against the minimum volatility threshold to identify strong momentum.
Buy and Sell Signal Generation
- Buy Signal: Uptrend with RSI oversold, positive MACD histogram, high volatility and volume, strong momentum, and sufficient Bollinger Band width.
- Sell Signal: Downtrend with RSI overbought, negative MACD histogram, high volatility and volume, strong momentum, and sufficient Bollinger Band width.
Visualization
- Buy and sell signals are displayed as green and red triangles on the chart.
- Plots for fast and slow EMAs, upper and lower bands, and Bollinger Bands.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, allowing notifications to be sent via email or mobile app.

(JS) Interchanging ATR & VWAP BandsOkay so this is pretty simple, but I think it's a great tool for day trading especially. I just took the default VWAP and Keltner channel scripts and combined them together.
The top option allows you to choose which one you'd prefer to use, "Use ATR instead of VWAP" .
The next options, "ATR Source", "KC Length", and "ATR Length" are the parameters for the ATR Bands.
"Number of Bands" allows you to choose how many bands you'd like to be on display (you can choose 1-8).
"Use Expoential MA" and "Band Style" are more default parameters from Keltner Channels used to set up the ATR Bands.
The "ATR Bands" are just stacked Keltner Channels separated by 1 ATR each, whereas the "VWAP Bands" are separated by standard deviation just like the default script from Trading View.
In these example chart, you can see the weekly VWAP with 8 deviation bands and 5 ATR bands with Keltner Channels.
Enhanced ATR SupertrendEnhanced ATR Supertrend - Mathematically Sound Trend Following Indicator
OVERVIEW
This is a premium version of the classic Supertrend indicator, built with mathematical rigor and enhanced features for serious traders. Unlike basic implementations, this version offers proper band trailing logic, adaptive volatility modes, and multiple ATR calculation methods.
HOW IT WORKS
The Enhanced ATR Supertrend calculates dynamic support and resistance bands based on the Average True Range (ATR). The core principle is simple but powerful:
ATR Calculation: Measures market volatility using true range (the greatest of: high-low, high-previous close, or low-previous close)
Band Construction: Creates upper and lower bands by adding/subtracting ATR × Multiplier from the HL2 (high+low average)
Trailing Logic:
Upper band can ONLY move down or stay flat (never up) during downtrends
Lower band can ONLY move up or stay flat (never down) during uptrends
This prevents premature trend reversals and whipsaws
Trend Determination:
BULLISH when price closes above the upper band
BEARISH when price closes below the lower band
Line colour changes reflect current trend state
WHY IT'S BETTER
Proper Mathematics: Correct band trailing prevents the "flickering" seen in poorly coded versions
Adaptive Volatility: Optional mode adjusts multiplier based on current vs average volatility - tightens in chaos, widens in calm markets
Multiple ATR Methods: Choose between RMA (default), SMA, EMA, or WMA smoothing
Clean Visual Design: Professional presentation with optional dashboard showing real-time metrics
OSCILLATOR MODE - SPOTTING DOUBLE TOPS/BOTTOMS
When used as an oscillator in the lower pane (remove overlay), the Supertrend's trend changes can reveal powerful reversal patterns:
Double Bottoms: When the indicator flips bullish twice at similar price levels, it often signals strong support and potential reversal zones
Double Tops: When the indicator flips bearish twice at similar levels, it identifies resistance and potential breakdown zones
The step-like visualization makes these patterns easier to spot than traditional price action
ATR Based SL & TP Targets from Entry (Long/Short)ATR-based target helper for manual trade planning.
Plots a single entry level plus ATR-based stop loss and take-profit targets on the price scale. The script uses a standard ATR (default 14) and lets you select the position side (Long or Short). For Long positions, it places the stop loss 1× ATR below the entry and take-profit levels at 1, 2, 3, and 4× ATR above. For Short positions, it mirrors this logic, placing the stop 1× ATR above the entry and targets 1–4× ATR below. You can adjust the entry price and ATR multipliers from the settings, and all levels update instantly, giving a clean visual of your risk and reward targets on the price scale.
-------------------
Tip:
After entry, and after I set my SL & TP levels, I hide the indicator until it's needed again.
Session ATR Progression Tracker📊 Session ATR Progression Tracker - SIYL Regression Trading Tool
Track how much of your instrument's 7-day Average True Range (ATR) has been covered during the current trading session. This indicator is specifically designed for regression traders who follow the "Stay In Your Lane" (SIYL) methodology, helping you identify when the probability of mean reversion significantly increases. If you are interested in more on that check out Rod Casselli and tradersdevgroup.com.
🎯 Key Features:
• Real-time ATR Coverage Percentage - See at a glance what percentage of the 7-day ATR has been covered in the current session
• SIYL-Optimized Thresholds - See at a glance when the instrument has achieved 80% and 100% ATR coverage, the proven thresholds where mean reversion probability increases (customizable)
• Flexible Session Modes:
- Daily: Resets at calendar day change
- Session: Uses exchange-defined trading sessions
- Custom Session: Set your exact session start/end times (perfect for futures traders and international markets)
• Visual Alerts - Color-coded display (gray → orange → red) and optional background highlighting
• Repositionable Display - Choose from 9 screen positions to avoid chart clutter
• Session Markers - Green triangles mark the start of each new session
• Detailed Stats - View current range, ATR value, session high/low, and session status
💡 Why Use This Indicator?
This tool is built around a proven concept: regression trading becomes significantly more effective once a session has achieved at least 80% of its 7-day ATR. At this threshold, the probability of price reverting to mean increases substantially, creating higher-probability trade setups for SIYL practitioners.
Benefits for regression traders:
- Identify optimal entry points when mean reversion probability is highest (≥80% ATR coverage)
- Avoid premature regression entries before adequate range has been established
- Recognize when daily moves have "earned their range" and are ripe for reversal
- Time fade-the-move and counter-trend strategies with statistical backing
- Improve win rates by trading only after proven probability thresholds are met
⚙️ Setup Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Select your preferred "Reset Mode" (recommend "Custom Session" for futures/international markets)
3. If using Custom Session, enter your session times in 24-hour format (e.g., 0930-1600 for US stocks, 1700-1600 for CME futures)
4. Adjust alert thresholds if desired (default: 80% and 100% - proven SIYL thresholds)
5. Position the display where it's most visible on your chart
📈 Works Across All Markets:
Stocks • Futures • Forex • Indices • Crypto • Commodities
Perfect for regression traders, mean reversion specialists, and SIYL practitioners who want to trade with probability on their side by entering only after the session has "earned its range."
---
Tip: For futures contracts with overnight sessions that span calendar days (like MES, MNQ, MYM), use "Custom Session" mode with your exchange's official session times for accurate tracking.

ATR > VXN Alert (5m)ATR > VXN Volatility Divergence Indicator
This custom TradingView indicator monitors real-time volatility divergence between realized volatility (via Average True Range, ATR) and implied volatility (via the CBOE NASDAQ Volatility Index, VXN). It is inspired by the GJR-GARCH (Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model, which captures asymmetric volatility dynamics—particularly how markets respond more sharply to negative shocks than to positive ones.
Core Logic:
Chart on NQ (5 minute timeframe)
ATR (5-min) reflects realized intraday volatility of the Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ).
VXN (5-min, delayed) represents forward-looking implied volatility.
The indicator highlights regime shifts in volatility:
ATR < VXN: Volatility compression → potential energy building up (market coiling).
ATR > VXN: Volatility expansion → real movement exceeds expectations → potential breakout zone.
Visuals & Alerts:
Background turns green when ATR crosses above VXN, signaling a bullish expansion regime.
Background turns red when ATR drops below VXN, signaling compression or risk-off environment.
Custom alerts trigger on volatility regime shifts for breakout traders.
Application (Manual GJR-GARCH Strategy):
Similar to how the GJR-GARCH model captures volatility clustering and asymmetry, this indicator identifies when actual price volatility (ATR) begins to spike beyond implied forecasts (VXN), often after periods of contraction—mirroring a conditional variance shock in the GARCH framework.
Traders can align with directional bias using technical confluence (order flow, structure breaks, liquidity zones) once expansion is confirmed.
FSH ATR MTF MonitorThe FSH ATR MTF Monitor tracks the Average True Range (ATR) and current range across six customizable timeframes, displaying the results in a table. When a timeframe’s range exceeds its ATR, the range value turns yellow, signaling heightened volatility. This multi-timeframe tool helps traders assess market conditions and plan entries or exits.
Key Features:
- Monitors ATR and range for up to six timeframes simultaneously.
- Customizable ATR length and timeframe inputs.
- Highlights ranges exceeding ATR in yellow for quick identification.
- Table display with toggle option for flexibility.
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the ATR length and timeframes in the inputs as needed.
3. Watch for yellow range values to spot volatility spikes across timeframes.
4. Toggle the table off if not needed.
Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, or anyone analyzing volatility across multiple timeframes.
