Volatility Stop

The Volatility Stop Indicator is able to define the current trend. When a downward trend is determined a red line above the prices bars is plotted; when an upward trend is determined a green line below the prices bars is plotted. These lines are generally used as trailing stops. The Volatility Stop Indicator is more used as an exit tool than an entry tool. When the price crosses the VStop value, the trend reverses and VStop moves to the other side of price.

We'd like to present you VStop indicator written in Pine Script. Please notice new Pine Script features used in this indicator: variables max_, min_, is_uptrend, vstop. We may refer to previous values of the indicator in the source code (e.g. vstop[1], is a vstop value on the previous bar) before the actual vstop variable definition. Enjoy and leave your comments!
