ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.
Best Practices:
Identify your entry point on execution timeframe
Enable "Custom Anchor" mode
Set anchor timestamp to your entry bar
Select appropriate analysis timeframe
Choose relevant Fibonacci levels
Enable alerts for automated notifications
Example Scenario:
Analyse trend on 4-hour chart
Execute entry on 5-minute chart for precision
Set custom anchor to your 5-minute entry bar
Configure timeframe setting to "4h" for swing-level targets
Select appropriate Fibonacci Extension levels
Result: Precise entry with larger timeframe risk management
Visual Intelligence System
Line Behaviour in Custom Anchor Mode:
Active levels: Lines extend to the right edge
Hit levels: Lines terminate at the breaking bar
Entry line: Always visible in blue
Stop-loss: Red line, terminates when hit
Take-profits: Green lines (1.618 level in gold for emphasis)
Customisation Options:
Line width (1-4 pixels)
Show/hide individual Fibonacci levels
ATR length and smoothing method
ATR multiplier for stop-loss distance

Ultimate_Priceaction_Tool for INTRADAY by Chaitu50cUltimate_Priceaction_Tool for INTRADAY by Chaitu50c
This indicator is crafted for intraday traders who rely on raw price action. It identifies support and resistance zones based on engulfing candle structures and 2-bar breakout formations. These patterns often signal meaningful reversals or momentum-based breakouts.
Key features:
• Real-time support and resistance zone detection
Uses green-to-red and red-to-green candle transitions where open and close levels align within a defined buffer. Also includes logic to capture two-bar breakout patterns that confirm directional conviction.
• Dynamic line behavior
Line width increases as the level holds for more bars, visually representing zone strength. Breakout buffers also expand with time to reduce false signals.
• Session-based resets
At the start of each new session, all zones reset automatically. This ensures only current, relevant intraday structures are shown, reducing clutter and improving focus.
• Dashed zone detection
Within the main high-low range, additional price levels are plotted as dashed lines when qualifying patterns appear. These zones are suppressed if similar ones already exist nearby.
• Fully customizable
Includes adjustable buffer range, breakout margin, dash suppression distance, line width control, and visual styling for both resistance and support zones.
Recommended usage:
This tool is optimized for the 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It is best suited for scalpers and intraday traders who depend on breakout reactions, pullback validation, and session structure shifts.
Use it to identify areas of interest, react to price action, and refine intraday decision-making with high precision.
Simple Risk-to-Reward (R) Indicator (TP1–TP2)What this indicator does:
This tool helps traders clearly visualize their risk and reward on any trade by plotting their entry, stop loss, and take-profit (TP) levels directly on the chart. It’s designed to make manual trade planning more visual and systematic.
How it works:
You set your planned entry price, whether you want to plot a Long or Short setup, and your stop-loss distance (in ticks).
The indicator calculates your stop-loss level and automatically plots it on the chart.
It then draws take-profit levels at 1R and 2R (where “R” is your risk, the distance between entry and stop).
You can toggle the TP1 and TP2 lines on or off to suit your preference.
How to use it:
Open the settings and enter your intended entry price.
Select “Long Setup” for a buy trade, or turn it off for a sell/short trade.
Enter your desired stop loss in ticks.
Choose which take-profit levels to display by toggling TP1 and TP2.
The indicator will show entry, stop, and take-profit levels right on your chart so you can easily see your planned risk/reward.
What makes it unique and useful:
This indicator is designed for manual trade planning, giving you full control over your inputs and letting you instantly see your risk/reward on any instrument or timeframe. Unlike some built-in tools, it supports both long and short trades, lets you set all levels manually, and keeps your charts clean and easy to interpret.
Intraday BUY/SELL & AUTO SL (5-min timeframe only) by chaitu50c)Intraday BUY/SELL & AUTO SL (5-min timeframe only) by chaitu50c
This indicator provides intraday traders with BUY/SELL reversal signals and automated SL (Stoploss) tracking, based on a 3-candle reversal block logic — designed to work exclusively on the 5-min timeframe.
Key Features:
• 3-Candle Reversal Logic — Signals are generated when a defined 3-candle reversal pattern is detected (body-close breakout).
• Current Session Only — All signals and SL lines are valid only for the current session and automatically reset at session start.
• BUY/SELL Signal Labels — Visual ▲ and ▼ labels mark valid reversal signals on the chart.
• Dynamic Auto SL Lines — Plots dashed SL lines based on the reversal block's low/high.
• SL HIT Tracking — If SL is broken, the line stops extending and a ‘SL HIT’ label is displayed at the midpoint of the SL line.
• Adjustable Visual Settings — Customize signal label size, SL line width, colors, and more.
• Clean & Lightweight — Optimized for intraday use without cluttering the chart.
How to Use:
You can trade this indicator in two ways:
1. Direct Signal Entry — Take a BUY or SELL trade when a valid ▲/▼ reversal signal forms.
2. SL HIT Re-entry — If an existing SL line is broken and ‘SL HIT’ appears, you can optionally take an opposite side trade in the direction of the SL HIT.
Example:
A BUY signal is generated and an SL line is plotted below.
If price breaks the SL (SL HIT appears), you may consider entering a SELL trade at that point — as it indicates weakness.
Important Notes:
• Works only on 5-min timeframe — Set your chart to 5-min for correct behavior.
• Designed for intraday trading — all signals and SL levels reset at session start.
• Does not carry signals between sessions.
• SL lines and HIT labels provide a clear and simple visual aid for trade management.

Risk and Position Sizing📏 Why Position Size Should Be Based on Risk?
Let’s say you are ready to lose 1,000 in a trade. Based on your stop loss level, you can calculate how many shares (or quantity) to buy, so that if the stop hits, you only lose that ₹1,000.
This is called risk-based position sizing. It makes your trade size dynamic — small when SL is wide, bigger when SL is tight. No more random position sizes — just systematic.
Portfolio size is multiplied by the selected risk % to get money risk per trade.
This amount is then used to calculate how many shares can be bought for the given stop-loss.
So chose your portfolio size in settings. Default Portfolio size is 1,00,000 .
You can select your risk % per portfolio in the settings — for example:
0.25% for conservative style
0.5% to 1% for balanced traders
1.25% or 1.5% for aggressive ones (not recommended for beginners)
This script will automatically calculate how much quantity you should buy, for each stop-loss scenario.
📈 Progressive & Inverse-Progressive Risk Styles
Some traders follow progressive position sizing — they start with small risk when the trend is just starting, and increase the risk % as the trend confirms.
Others follow inverse-progressive sizing — they take high risk at early stages of a bull market, and reduce risk as the trend matures (when upside becomes limited).
📌 This script allows you to manually control the risk % in settings, so you can adjust it based on your trading phase and style.
📋 Three SL Scenarios – Choose What Matches Your Style
The table shows three different stop-loss conditions, and for each one it calculates:
Today’s Low – tightest stop loss
Yesterday’s Low – slightly safer, ideal for short-term swing trades
EMA Stop (configurable) – gives more breathing room.
You can visually compare all 3 in the table and choose whichever fits your strategy and comfort.
Also, you can customize:
Theme: dark or light
Font size
Table position (upper/lower corners)
🧠 Designed for traders who take risk management seriously.
Let this script handle the math. You focus on execution.
Happy Trading!

TitanGrid L/S SuperEngineTitanGrid L/S SuperEngine
Experimental Trend-Aligned Grid Signal Engine for Long & Short Execution
🔹 Overview
TitanGrid is an advanced, real-time signal engine built around a tactical grid structure.
It manages Long and Short trades using trend-aligned entries, layered scaling, and partial exits.
Unlike traditional strategy() -based scripts, TitanGrid runs as an indicator() , but includes its own full internal simulation engine.
This allows it to track capital, equity, PnL, risk exposure, and trade performance bar-by-bar — effectively simulating a custom backtest, while remaining compatible with real-time alert-based execution systems.
The concept was born from the fusion of two prior systems:
Assassin’s Grid (grid-based execution and structure) + Super 8 (trend-filtering, smart capital logic), both developed under the AssassinsGrid framework.
🔹 Disclaimer
This is an experimental tool intended for research, testing, and educational use.
It does not provide guaranteed outcomes and should not be interpreted as financial advice.
Use with demo or simulated accounts before considering live deployment.
🔹 Execution Logic
Trend direction is filtered through a custom SuperTrend engine. Once confirmed:
• Long entries trigger on pullbacks, exiting progressively as price moves up
• Short entries trigger on rallies, exiting as price declines
Grid levels are spaced by configurable percentage width, and entries scale dynamically.
🔹 Stop Loss Mechanism
TitanGrid uses a dual-layer stop system:
• A static stop per entry, placed at a fixed percentage distance matching the grid width
• A trend reversal exit that closes the entire position if price crosses the SuperTrend in the opposite direction
Stops are triggered once per cycle, ensuring predictable and capital-aware behavior.
🔹 Key Features
• Dual-side grid logic (Long-only, Short-only, or Both)
• SuperTrend filtering to enforce directional bias
• Adjustable grid spacing, scaling, and sizing
• Static and dynamic stop-loss logic
• Partial exits and reset conditions
• Webhook-ready alerts (browser-based automation compatible)
• Internal simulation of equity, PnL, fees, and liquidation levels
• Real-time dashboard for full transparency
🔹 Best Use Cases
TitanGrid performs best in structured or mean-reverting environments.
It is especially well-suited to assets with the behavioral profile of ETH — reactive, trend-intraday, and prone to clean pullback formations.
While adaptable to multiple timeframes, it shows strongest performance on the 15-minute chart , offering a balance of signal frequency and directional clarity.
🔹 License

You are free to study, adapt, and extend this script.
🔹 Panel Reference
The real-time dashboard displays performance metrics, capital state, and position behavior:
• Asset Type – Automatically detects the instrument class (e.g., Crypto, Stock, Forex) from symbol metadata
• Equity – Total simulated capital: realized PnL + floating PnL + remaining cash
• Available Cash – Capital not currently allocated to any position
• Used Margin – Capital locked in open trades, based on position size and leverage
• Net Profit – Realized gain/loss after commissions and fees
• Raw Net Profit – Gross result before trading costs
• Floating PnL – Unrealized profit or loss from active positions
• ROI – Return on initial capital, including realized and floating PnL. Leverage directly impacts this metric, amplifying both gains and losses relative to account size.
• Long/Short Size & Avg Price – Open position sizes and volume-weighted average entry prices
• Leverage & Liquidation – Simulated effective leverage and projected liquidation level
• Hold – Best-performing hold side (Long or Short) over the session
• Hold Efficiency – Performance efficiency during holding phases, relative to capital used
• Profit Factor – Ratio of gross profits to gross losses (realized)
• Payoff Ratio – Average profit per win / average loss per loss
• Win Rate – Percent of profitable closes (including partial exits)
• Expectancy – Net average result per closed trade
• Max Drawdown – Largest recorded drop in equity during the session
• Commission Paid – Simulated trading costs: maker, taker, funding
• Long / Short Trades – Count of entry signals per side
• Time Trading – Number of bars spent in active positions
• Volume / Month – Extrapolated 30-day trading volume estimate
• Min Capital – Lowest equity level recorded during the session
🔹 Reference Ranges by Strategy Type
Use the following metrics as reference depending on the trading style:
Grid / Mean Reversion
• Profit Factor: 1.2 – 2.0
• Payoff Ratio: 0.5 – 1.2
• Win Rate: 50% – 70% (based on partial exits)
• Expectancy: 0.05% – 0.25%
• Drawdown: Moderate to high
• Commission Impact: High
Trend-Following
• Profit Factor: 1.5 – 3.0
• Payoff Ratio: 1.5 – 3.5
• Win Rate: 30% – 50%
• Expectancy: 0.3% – 1.0%
• Drawdown: Low to moderate
Scalping / High-Frequency
• Profit Factor: 1.1 – 1.6
• Payoff Ratio: 0.3 – 0.8
• Win Rate: 80% – 95%
• Expectancy: 0.01% – 0.05%
• Volume / Month: Very high
Breakout Strategies
• Profit Factor: 1.4 – 2.2
• Payoff Ratio: 1.2 – 2.0
• Win Rate: 35% – 60%
• Expectancy: 0.2% – 0.6%
• Drawdown: Can be sharp after failed breakouts
🔹 Note on Performance Simulation
TitanGrid includes internal accounting of fees, slippage, and funding costs.
While its logic is designed for precision and capital efficiency, performance is naturally affected by exchange commissions.
In frictionless environments (e.g., zero-fee simulation), its high-frequency logic could — in theory — extract substantial micro-edges from the market.
However, real-world conditions introduce limits, and all results should be interpreted accordingly.
Realtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical OverlayRealtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical Overlay
A simple, effective tool for dynamic risk management based on ATR (Average True Range) without adding cluttered and distracting lines all over your chart.
📌 Description
This script plots a real-time stop loss level using the Average True Range (ATR) on your chart, helping you set consistent, volatility-based stops. It supports both:
✅ Current chart timeframe
✅ Custom fixed timeframe inputs (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, etc.)
The stop level is calculated as:
Stop = ATR × Multiplier
and updates in real-time. An overlay table displays on the bottom-right of your chart with the calculated stop value in a clean, simple way.
⚙️ Settings
ATR Timeframe Source:
Choose between using the current chart's timeframe or a fixed one (e.g. 5, 15, 60, D, etc).
ATR Length:
Period used to calculate the ATR (default is 14).
Stop Loss Multiplier:
Multiplies the ATR value to define your stop (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
Wait for Timeframe Closes:
If enabled, the ATR value waits for the selected timeframe’s candle to close before updating. If unselected, it will update in real time.
🛠️ How to Use
Add this script to your chart from your indicators list.
Configure your desired timeframe, ATR length, and multiplier in the settings panel.
Use the value shown in the table overlay as your suggested stop loss distance from entry.
Adjust your position sizing accordingly to fit your risk tolerance.
This tool is especially useful for traders looking for adaptive risk management that evolves with market volatility — whether scalping intraday or swing trading.
💡 Pro Tip
The ATR stop can also be used to dynamically trail your stop behind price movement.
Risk ModuleRisk Module
This indicator provides a visual reference to determine position sizing and approximate stop placement. It is designed to support trade planning by calculating equalized risk per trade based on a stop distance derived from volatility. The tool offers supportive reference points that allow for quick evaluation of risk and position size consistency across varying markets.
Equalized Risk Per Trade
The indicator calculates the number of shares that can be traded to maintain consistent monetary risk. The formula is based on the distance between the current price and the visual stop reference, adjusting the position size proportionally.
Position Size = Dollar Risk / (Entry Price – Stop Price)
The risk is calculated as a percentage of account size; both of which can be set in the indicator’s settings tab. This creates a consistent risk exposure across trades regardless of volatility or structural stop distance.
Stop Placement Reference
The visual stop reference is derived from the Average True Range (ATR), providing a volatility-based anchor. The default value is set to 2 × ATR, but this can be customized.
Price Model: Uses the current price ± ATR × multiplier. This model reacts to price movement and is set as the default option.
EMA Model: Uses the 20-period EMA ± ATR × multiplier. This model is less reactive and can be an option when used in combination with an envelope indicator.
Chart Elements
Stop Levels: Plotted above and below either the current price or EMA, depending on the selected model. These serve as visual reference points for stop placement; the lower level a sell stop for long trades, the upper level a buy stop for short trades.
Information Table: Displays the number of shares to trade, stop level and percentage risk. A compact mode is available to reduce the table to essential information (H/L and Shares).
Settings Overview
Stop Model: Choose between “Price” or “EMA” stop calculation logic.
ATR Multiplier: Change the distance between price/EMA and the stop reference.
Account Size / Risk %: These risk parameters are used to calculate dollar risk per trade.
Visible Bars: Number of recent bars to show stop markers on.
Compact Mode: Minimal table view for reduced chart footprint.
Table Position / Size: Controls table placement and scale on the chart.
Strong Trend Bars (ATR-based)This is a ChatGPT pinescript meant as an indicator for detecting strength in the market. The primary function I use it for is to decide which bars to trail a stop loss beneath.
💥 Explanation of adjustable inputs:
Bull Close Threshold (default 0.6):
If set to 0.6, bull bars must close above 60% of bar height → low + 0.6 * barHeight
Bear Close Threshold (default 0.6):
If set to 0.6, bear bars must close below 40% of bar height → high - 0.6 * barHeight
This lets you experiment with tighter or looser filters. For example:
0.7 → only bars closing near the extremes will light up
0.5 → about midpoint
0.8 → very demanding, “almost full body” bars

ATR Stop-Loss & TargetsATR and Supertrend-based SL/TP & Trailing System
This indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) and Supertrend logic to help traders define precise stop-loss, first target, and trailing stop-loss (TSL) levels.
⚙️ Key Features:
📏 ATR-based Stop-Loss & Target Lines:
Uses ATR (default period: 5) based on the previous day's candle for more stable risk management.
Traders can choose the price source: Close, Open, or enter a manual price.
SL and first target are calculated using multipliers:
Multiplier 1 = Stop Loss
Multiplier 2 = First Target
📉 Supertrend for Trailing Stop:
Built-in Supertrend logic for trailing stop-loss management.
Uses ATR(10) with a multiplier of 2.1, based on HL2.
Supertrend can be toggled ON/OFF from the settings.
Crypto Strategy SUSDT 10 minThis strategy is designed to trade the **SUSDT** pair on a **10-minute time frame**, using a combination of an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and percentage-based Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels.
### How the strategy works:
1. **EMA Calculation**:
- The strategy calculates a 24-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the closing price.
- This EMA serves as the primary trend indicator.
2. **Entry Conditions**:
- **Long Position**: A long position is entered when the closing price is above the EMA and the opening price is below the EMA. This indicates a potential upward trend.
- **Short Position**: A short position is entered when the closing price is below the EMA and the opening price is above the EMA. This indicates a potential downward trend.
3. **Stop Loss and Take Profit**:
- Both Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) are calculated based on the entry price of the position.
- **For Long Positions**:
- Stop Loss is set as a percentage below the entry price.
- Take Profit is set as a percentage above the entry price.
- **For Short Positions**:
- Stop Loss is set as a percentage above the entry price.
- Take Profit is set as a percentage below the entry price.
- The percentage values for SL and TP can be adjusted in the strategy's settings (default: SL = 2%, TP = 4%).
4. **Exit Conditions**:
- The position is closed automatically when either the Stop Loss or Take Profit level is reached.
5. **Visualization**:
- The 24-period EMA is plotted on the chart as a blue line, helping visualize the trend direction.
### Key Features:
- **Pair and Time Frame**: The strategy is optimized for the SUSDT pair on a 10-minute time frame.
- **Customizable Parameters**: Users can adjust the Stop Loss and Take Profit percentages to suit their risk tolerance and trading style.
- **Trend-Following Approach**: The strategy uses the EMA to identify and follow the current market trend.
This strategy is simple yet effective for capturing trends while managing risk through predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
Stop/Take BoundsThe Stop/Take Bounds indicator is tool for setting dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on percentage distance from the price. Unlike traditional ATR-based methods, this indicator allows traders to set stop levels as a fixed percentage of the price and define the take-profit multiple.
- Stop-loss distanceis determined as a percentage of the current price (e.g., 1% means the stop-loss is always 1% away from the price).
- Take-profit distance is calculated by multiplying the stop-loss distance by a user-defined multiplier (e.g., a multiplier of 2 places the take-profit level twice as far as the stop-loss).
- The indicator plots red lines for stop-loss levels and green lines for take-profit levels, making it easy to visualize risk-to-reward scenarios.
How to Use
1. Set Stop-Loss Distance (%) – Define how far the stop-loss should be from the price.
2. Set Take-Profit Multiplier – Choose how many times larger the take-profit should be compared to the stop-loss.
3. Apply to Long and Short Trades – The indicator automatically plots levels for both long and short positions.
4. Use in Manual or Algorithmic Trading – Ideal for discretionary traders as well as for integration into algorithmic strategies.
Use Cases
- Risk Management – Helps maintain disciplined risk-to-reward ratios.
- Strategy Development – Can be used in the creation of algorithmic trading systems.
- Trailing Stop Simulation – Can act as a trailing stop mechanism when used dynamically.
This indicator is a great addition to any trading strategy!
Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.

Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

Индикатор "Price Action Trend and Margin Equity" представляет собой многофункциональный инструмент для анализа рынка, объединяющий в себе элементы управления капиталом и анализа ценовых паттернов. Индикатор помогает трейдерам идентифицировать ключевые прайс экшн паттерны и определять оптимальные уровни входа, выхода и стоп-лосс на основе текущего тренда.
Основные компоненты индикатора:
Управление капиталом:
Позволяет трейдеру задавать параметры управления рисками, такие как процент возможного убытка по позиции, использование фиксированного плеча и общий капитал.
Рассчитывает необходимый уровень плеча для достижения заданного процента убытка.
Price Action:
Правильно идентифицирует различные ценовые паттерны, такие как Pin Bar, Поглащение Бар, PPR Bar и Внутренний Бар.
Отображает эти паттерны на графике с возможностью настройки цветов свечей и стилей отображения.
Позволяет трейдеру настраивать точки тейк профита и стоп лосса для отображения их на графике.
Возможность отображения паттернов только в натправлении тренда.

Облако тренда отображается на графике и помогает трейдерам определить, находится ли рынок в восходящем или нисходящем тренде.
Оповещение:
Дает возможность установить оповещение которое будет срабатывать при формировании паттерна.
Пример применения:
Предположим, трейдер использует индикатор для торговли на крипто рынке. Он настраивает параметры управления капиталом, устанавливая максимальный убыток по позиции в 5% и используя фиксированное плечо 1:100. Индикатор автоматически рассчитывает необходимый объем позиции для соблюдения этих параметров ($: на лейбле). Или отображает плечо (Х: на лейбле) для достижения необходимого риска.
Трейдер получает оповещение о формировании Pin Bar. Индикатор отображает уровни входа, выхода и стоп-лосс, основанные на этом паттерне. Трейдер открывает позицию на рекомендуемую сумму в направлении, указанном индикатором, и устанавливает стоп-лосс и тейк-профит на рекомендованных уровнях.
Общие настройки:
Процент убытка по позиции: Устанавливает максимальный процент убытка, который вы готовы понести по одной позиции.
Использовать фиксированное плечо: Включает или отключает использование фиксированного плеча.
Уровень фиксированного плеча: Задает уровень фиксированного плеча.

Цвета паттернов: Задает цвета для отображения каждого паттерна на графике.
Цвет свечей: Позволяет задать нейтральный цвет для свечей неподходящих под прйс экшн.
Показывать линии: Позволяет включить или отключить отображение лейблов и линий.
Длинна линий: Настройка длинны линий стопа, линии входа и тейк профита.
Цвет лейбла: Один цвет для всех лейблов (настраивается ниже) или цвет лейблов в цвет паттерна свечи.
Вход в пин: Выбор точки входа для пин бара: голова свечи, точка закрытия бара или 50% свечи.
Коэффиценты для стоп и тейк линий.
Использовать тренд для прайс экшна: При включении будет показывать прайс экшн сигналы только в направлении тренда.
Отображение облака тренда: Включает или отключает отображение облака тренда.
Период расчета облака: Устанавливает период, за который рассчитываются максимальные и минимальные значения для облака. Чем больше период, тем более сглаженным будет облако.
Цвета облака: Задает цвета для восходящего и нисходящего трендов, а также прозрачность облака.
Логика работы индикатора:
Pin Bar — это свеча с длинной верхней или нижней тенью и коротким телом.
Логика: Если длина одной тени вдвое больше тела и противоположной тени свечи, считается, что это Pin Bar.
Inside Bar — это свеча, полностью поглощенная предыдущей свечой.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи находятся внутри предыдущей свечи, это Inside Bar.
Outside Bar или Поглощение — это свеча, которая полностью поглощает предыдущую свечу.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи выходят за пределы предыдущей свечи и закрывается за пределами предыдущей свечи, это Outside Bar.
PPR Bar — это свеча, которая закрывается выше или ниже предыдущей свечи.
Логика: Если текущая свеча закрывается выше максимума предыдущей свечи или ниже ее минимума, это PPR Bar.
Уровни стоп-лосс: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов. При значении 1.0 показывает правильный стоп для паттерна отталкиваясь от точки входа.
Уровки тейк-профита: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов.
Создание метки: Метка создается на уровне стоп-лосс и содержит информацию о потенциальном плече и убытке.
Формула для вычисления значения $:
=(Общий капитал x (Максимальный процент убытка по позиции/100)) / (Разница между уровнем входа и уровнем стоп-лосс × Коэффициент, задающий уровень стоп-лосс относительно длины тени свечи × Значение фиксированного плеча).
Метки содержат следующую информацию:
Процент изменения цены от рекомендованной точки входа до уровня стоп-лосс.
Необходимое плечо (Х: ): Уровень плеча, необходимый для достижения заданного процента убытка. (Или фиксированное значение если оно выбрано).
Необходимый капитал ($: ): Сумма капитала, необходимая для открытия позиции с заданным плечом и процентом убытка (отображается только при использовании фиксированного плеча).
Облако тренда определяет максимальные и минимальные значения цены за указанный период.
Значение облака устанавливается в зависимости от того, совпадает ли текущая цена с максимальными или минимальными значениями.
Если текущая цена закрытия равна максимальному значению, облако устанавливается на уровне минимального значения, и наоборот.
ATR stop lossPlots the stop loss level based on average true range (ATR) and a multiplier of choice (1 to 2.5, default is 1.5), subtracted from closing price.
Additions in this version:
You can now show percentage labels to help evaluate the level of risk.
The color of the plotted line and the text labels can be picked by the user.
John Bob-Trading-BotDeveloped by Ayebale John Bob with the help of his bestie, this innovative strategy combines advanced Smart Money Concepts with practical risk management tools to help traders identify and capitalize on key market moves.
Key Features:
Smart Money Concepts & Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The strategy monitors price action for fair value gaps, which are visualized as extremely faint horizontal lines on the chart. These FVGs signal potential areas where institutional traders might have entered or exited positions.
Dynamic Entry Signals:
Buy signals are triggered when the price crosses above the 50-bar lowest low or when a bullish FVG is detected. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price falls below the 50-bar highest high or a bearish FVG is identified. Each signal is visually marked on the chart with clear buy (green) and sell (red) labels.
Multi-Level Order Execution:
Once an entry signal occurs, the strategy places five separate orders, each with its own take-profit (TP) level. The TP levels are calculated dynamically using the Average True Range (ATR) and a set of predefined multipliers. This allows traders to scale out of positions as the market moves favorably.
Dynamic Risk Management:
A stop-loss is automatically set at a distance determined by the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed in accordance with current market volatility.
Real-Time Trade Information Table:
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a trade information table displays essential details about the current trade:
Side: Displays "BUY NOW" (with a dark green background) for long entries or "SELL NOW" (with a dark red background) for short entries.
Entry Price & Stop-Loss: Shows the entry price (highlighted in green) and the corresponding stop-loss level (highlighted in red).
Take-Profit Levels: Lists the five TP levels, each of which turns green once the market price reaches that target.
Timer: A live timer in minutes counts from the moment the current trade trigger started, helping traders track the duration of their active trades.
Visual Progress Bar:
A histogram-style progress bar is plotted on the chart, visually representing the percentage gain (or loss) relative to the entry price.
This strategy was meticulously designed to incorporate both technical analysis and smart risk management, offering a robust trading solution that adapts to changing market conditions. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the AyebaleJohnBob Trading Bot equips you with the tools and visual cues needed to make well-informed trading decisions. Enjoy a seamless blend of strategy and style—crafted with passion by Ayebale John Bob and his bestie!

Profitability Visualization with Bid-Ask Spread ApproximationOverview
The " Profitability Visualization with Bid-Ask Spread Approximation " indicator is designed to assist traders in assessing potential profit and loss targets in relation to the current market price or a simulated entry price. It provides flexibility by allowing users to choose between two methods for calculating the offset from the current price:
Bid-Ask Spread Approximation: The indicator attempts to estimate the bid-ask spread by using the highest (high) and lowest (low) prices within a given period (typically the current bar or a user-defined timeframe) as proxies for the ask and bid prices, respectively. This method provides a dynamic offset that adapts to market volatility.
Percentage Offset: Alternatively, users can specify a fixed percentage offset from the current price. This method offers a consistent offset regardless of market conditions.
Key Features
Dual Offset Calculation Methods: Choose between a dynamic bid-ask spread approximation or a fixed percentage offset to tailor the indicator to your trading style and market analysis.
Entry Price Consideration: The indicator can simulate an entry price at the beginning of each trading session (or the first bar on the chart if no sessions are defined). This feature enables a more realistic visualization of potential profit and loss levels based on a hypothetical entry point.
Profit and Loss Targets: When the entry price consideration is enabled, the indicator plots profit target (green) and loss target (red) lines. These lines represent the price levels at which a trade entered at the simulated entry price would achieve a profit or incur a loss equivalent to the calculated offset amount.
Offset Visualization: Regardless of whether the entry price is considered, the indicator always displays upper (aqua) and lower (fuchsia) offset lines. These lines represent the calculated offset levels based on the chosen method (bid-ask approximation or percentage offset).
Customization: Users can adjust the percentage offset, toggle the bid-ask approximation and entry price consideration, and customize the appearance of the lines through the indicator's settings.
Inputs
useBidAskApproximation A boolean (checkbox) input that determines whether to use the bid-ask spread approximation (true) or the percentage offset (false). Default is false.
percentageOffset A float input that allows users to specify the percentage offset to be used when useBidAskApproximation is false. The default value is 0.63.
considerEntryPrice A boolean input that enables the consideration of a simulated entry price for calculating and displaying profit and loss targets. Default is true.
Calculations
Bid-Ask Approximation (if enabled): bidApprox = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe.period, low) Approximates the bid price using the lowest price (low) of the current period. askApprox = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe.period, high) Approximates the ask price using the highest price (high) of the current period. spreadApprox = askApprox - bidApprox Calculates the approximate spread.
Offset Amount: offsetAmount = useBidAskApproximation ? spreadApprox / 2 : close * (percentageOffset / 100) Determines the offset amount based on the selected method. If useBidAskApproximation is true, the offset is half of the approximated spread; otherwise, it's the current closing price (close) multiplied by the percentageOffset.
Entry Price (if enabled): var entryPrice = 0.0 Initializes a variable to store the entry price. if considerEntryPrice Checks if entry price consideration is enabled. if barstate.isnew Checks if the current bar is the first bar of a new session. entryPrice := close Sets the entryPrice to the closing price of the first bar of the session.
Profit and Loss Targets (if entry price is considered): profitTarget = entryPrice + offsetAmount Calculates the profit target price level. lossTarget = entryPrice - offsetAmount Calculates the loss target price level.
Plotting
Profit Target Line: Plotted in green (color.green) with a dashed line style (plot.style_linebr) and increased linewidth (linewidth=2) when considerEntryPrice is true.
Loss Target Line: Plotted in red (color.red) with a dashed line style (plot.style_linebr) and increased linewidth (linewidth=2) when considerEntryPrice is true.
Upper Offset Line: Always plotted in aqua (color.aqua) to show the offset level above the current price.
Lower Offset Line: Always plotted in fuchsia (color.fuchsia) to show the offset level below the current price.
Limitations
Approximation: The bid-ask spread approximation is based on high and low prices and may not perfectly reflect the actual bid-ask spread of a specific broker, especially during periods of high volatility or low liquidity.
Simplified Entry: The entry price simulation is basic and assumes entry at the beginning of each session. It does not account for specific entry signals or order types.
No Order Execution: This indicator is purely for visualization and does not execute any trades.
Data Discrepancies: The high and low values used for approximation might not always align with real-time bid and ask prices due to differences in data aggregation and timing between TradingView and various brokers.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always conduct thorough research and consider your own risk tolerance before making any trading decisions. It is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools and a well-defined trading strategy.
MCP Stop Strategy [JARUTIR]The MCP Stop Strategy is a trading tool designed to help traders lock in profits and manage risks. It is based on the concept of setting a MCP (Mental Capacity Preservation) Stop explained in the book "The Lifecycle Trade". I call it Maximum Controllable Profit Stop which helps protect profits once a stock or asset reaches a new peak. The MCP Stop is dynamically calculated based on the Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price), and is adjusted using a customizable percentage (MCP%) to retain a portion of the gains from the peak price during a drawdown.
Key Features :
MCP Stop Calculation: The script calculates the MCP Stop as:
MCP Stop = Buy Price + (Peak Price - Buy Price) x MCP%
This helps you protect a portion of your gains (defined by MCP%) as the price moves in your favor.
Flexible Buy Date Option:
You can either manually input a Buy Date or let the script automatically detect the Buy Date when the price first meets or exceeds the user-defined Buy Price.
After the Buy Date, the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price are plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
Customizable Parameters:
Buy Price: The price at which the asset was bought.
MCP Percentage: The percentage of profit from the peak that you want to retain in case of a drawdown.
Lookback Length: The number of bars to consider when calculating the Peak Price (All Time High).
How to Use the Script :
Set the Buy Price: Enter the price at which you bought the asset.
Set the MCP%: Enter the percentage of profits you want to protect from the peak. For example, if you want to retain 10% of the gain from the peak, set this to 10.
Choose the Buy Date Method:
Automated Buy Date: The script will automatically detect the first bar where the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
Manual Buy Date: If you prefer to specify a particular Buy Date, input the desired date and time.
View the MCP Stop and Peak Price: After the Buy Date (either manually or automatically detected), the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price will be plotted on the chart.
Monitor the MCP Stop Trigger: The script will alert you when the price falls below the MCP Stop, indicating a potential exit point to protect profits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the MCP Stop?
The MCP Stop is a dynamic stop-loss level that adjusts based on your Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price). It protects a portion of your gains from the peak, which is defined by the MCP%. For example, if you set the MCP% to 10%, the script will retain 10% of the gains from the peak and use this as a stop-loss.
2. How does the Buy Date work?
The Buy Date is the date when you entered the position:
If you choose Automated Buy Date, the script will automatically set the Buy Date to the first bar when the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
If you choose Manual Buy Date, you can specify a particular date and time when you want the strategy to start calculating and plotting the MCP Stop and Peak Price.
3. What happens if the price falls below the MCP Stop?
If the price drops below the MCP Stop, the script will mark this as a potential exit point, helping you protect profits. A visual alert (MCP STOP) will be shown on the chart when the price reaches or falls below the MCP Stop.
4. Can I adjust the Lookback Length for Peak Price?
Yes, you can customize the Lookback Length (the number of bars the script considers when calculating the Peak Price) by entering a value in the input field. By default, it is set to 1000 bars, which represents a few months of historical data, but you can increase or decrease this based on your trading strategy.
5. Why would I want to use the automated Buy Date?
The Automated Buy Date is useful for traders who want the script to automatically track the Buy Date when the price first reaches or exceeds the Buy Price. This is helpful when you're unsure of the exact entry date but know the price at which you bought the asset. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual input.
6. Can I use this strategy for long and short positions?
The current version of this script is designed for long positions, where you buy an asset and want to protect your profits as the price increases. If you're interested in applying it to short positions, you would need to adjust the logic accordingly (e.g., tracking the lowest price instead of the peak price).
7. Can I modify the script to fit my trading strategy?
Yes, this script is highly customizable. You can adjust parameters such as Buy Price, MCP%, and Lookback Length to suit your specific trading style. You can also tweak the visual appearance of the plotted lines and alerts.
Disclaimer:
This strategy is intended for educational purposes only. It should not be considered financial advice. Always perform your own research and consult with a professional before making any trading decisions. Trading involves significant risk, and you should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
Visual ATR StopThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to display a visual range for stop placement. Two multiplier values (example, 1 and 3) can be set to create a filled area below the price. This area represents the range between the two ATR levels, adjusted by subtracting the current price, providing a simple way to visualize stop-loss placement based on volatility.
The indicator is customizable; for example, negative values can place the area above the price for short positions. The filled color can also be removed, which allows precise levels to be marked above and below.
Dynamic TestingInput Parameters
`lookbackPeriod` : Number of candles to check for determining the highest high (resistance) and lowest low (support) levels.
`atrPeriod` : The period for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of market volatility.
`atrMultiplierSL` : Multiplier to calculate the stop-loss distance relative to the ATR.
`atrMultiplierTP1` and `atrMultiplierTP2` : Multipliers to calculate two take-profit levels relative to ATR.
`rewardToRisk` : The ratio between reward (profit) and risk (stop loss) for trade management.
---
Core Calculations
ATR (Average True Range)
atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
ATR is computed using the specified period to gauge price volatility.
Volume SMA
volumeSMA = ta.sma(volume, atrPeriod)
The script calculates the simple moving average of volume over the same period as ATR. This is used as a threshold for validating high-volume scenarios.
---
Support and Resistance Levels
`support` : Lowest price over the last `lookbackPeriod` candles.
`resistance` : Highest price over the same period.
`supportBuffer` and `resistanceBuffer` : These are "buffered" zones around support and resistance, calculated using half of the ATR to prevent false breakouts.
---
Entry Scenarios
Bullish Entry (`isBullishEntry`)
The close is above the buffered support level.
The low of the current candle touches or breaks below the support level.
The trading volume is greater than the `volumeSMA`.
Bearish Entry (`isBearishEntry`)
The close is below the buffered resistance level.
The high of the current candle touches or exceeds the resistance level.
The trading volume is greater than the `volumeSMA`.
---
Box Visualization
Bullish and Bearish Boxes
Bullish Box (`bullishBox`):
- A green, semi-transparent rectangle around the support level to highlight the bullish entry zone.
- Dynamically updates based on recent price action.
Bearish Box (`bearishBox`):
- A red, semi-transparent rectangle around the resistance level to highlight the bearish entry zone.
- Adjusts similarly as price evolves.
---
Stop Loss and Take Profit Calculations
Bullish Trades
Stop Loss (`bullishSL`): Calculated as support - atrMultiplierSL * ATR .
Take Profit 1 (`bullishTP1`): support + rewardToRisk * atrMultiplierTP1 * ATR .
Take Profit 2 (`bullishTP2`): support + rewardToRisk * atrMultiplierTP2 * ATR .
Bearish Trades
Stop Loss (`bearishSL`): resistance + atrMultiplierSL * ATR .
Take Profit 1 (`bearishTP1`): resistance - rewardToRisk * atrMultiplierTP1 * ATR .
Take Profit 2 (`bearishTP2`): resistance - rewardToRisk * atrMultiplierTP2 * ATR .
