Limit Order + ATR Stop-Loss [TANHEF]

2023년 5월 17일

This indicator enables interactive placement of limit or stop-limit orders with a trailing ATR stop-loss and optional profit target (with alerts). Refer to the images below for further clarification.

Why use a trailing stop-loss?
A trailing stop-loss serves as an exit strategy when price moves against you, while also allowing you to adjust the exit point further into profit when price moves favorably. The ATR (Average True Range), a reliable measure of volatility, acts as an effective risk management tool, functioning as a trailing stop-loss.

Indicator Explanation

• Initial indicator placement: Select Long Limit or Long-Stop Limit order.
  
• Change Entry Type: Switch between Long and Short within settings.
  
• Modify entry price: Drag circle, adjust in settings, or re-add indicator to chart.
  
• Optional Profit Target: Use Risk/Reward ratio or specify price.
  
• Entry anticipation: Estimated ATR stop-loss and profit target as blue circles (fluctuates with volatility changes).
  
• Entry triggered: Actual ATR stop-loss and profit target plotted.
  
• Exit conditions: Stop-loss or profit target hit, exit entry.
  
• Update Frequency: Continuously, Bar Open, or Bar Open on entry then continuously.
  
• ATR Overlap: no entry occurs if the ATR overlaps with price (stop-loss 'hit' already on entry bar)
  
• Table: Displays input settings selected.
  
• Show Only On Ticker: Ability to hide indicator on other tickers.
