An ATR (Average True Range) can be used to position a trailing stop
In this script, the true range of today is calculated based on the low of yesterday in order to be more stable. It only goes up, as a trailing stop should do. It only goes down when the trailing stop is reached by the price.
In true TradingView spirit, the author of this script has published it open-source, so traders can understand and verify it. Cheers to the author! You may use it for free, but reuse of this code in publications is governed by House rules. You can favorite it to use it on a chart.
