ATR Chandelier StopTrade Control Adaptive ATR Chandelier Stop
The Trade Control Adaptive ATR Chandelier Stop is a volatility based trailing stop designed for swing and position traders who want a more objective way to manage exits and protect gains.
Instead of applying the same fixed percentage stop to every stock, the indicator uses Average True Range, or ATR, to account for how much each symbol typically moves. More volatile stocks receive wider stop levels, while lower volatility stocks receive tighter stop levels.
How it works
For long positions, the trailing stop is calculated as:
Highest high over the selected lookback period minus ATR multiplied by the selected multiplier
With the default settings, the calculation is:
22 bar highest high minus 3 times the 14 bar ATR
This creates a stop that hangs below the stock’s recent high, which is why it is called a Chandelier stop.
As the stock makes new highs, the stop can move higher. During normal pullbacks, the stop generally does not move lower while the bullish trend remains intact.
When price closes below the trailing stop, the indicator changes to a bearish state and begins plotting the corresponding stop above price.
Default settings
ATR Length: 14
Price Lookback: 22
ATR Multiplier: 3.0
Automatic Volatility Adjustment: Off by default
These settings are intended as a balanced starting point for swing and position traders using the daily chart and holding trades for several weeks to several months.
Adaptive volatility option
The optional adaptive setting adjusts the ATR multiplier based on ATR as a percentage of the stock price.
When enabled, the indicator gives highly volatile stocks additional room and may tighten the stop for lower volatility stocks. The standard 3 ATR setting remains the default for traders who prefer a simpler and more consistent approach.
Best uses
The indicator is designed for:
• Swing trading
• Position trading
• Trend following
• Managing profitable trades
• Reducing emotional exit decisions
• Monitoring individual stocks or watchlists
It is generally most useful on the daily timeframe.
Alert condition
The script includes an alert condition for a confirmed daily close below the trailing stop.
Recommended TradingView alert settings:
Condition: Daily Close Below ATR Stop
Interval: 1D
Trigger: Once per bar close
The alert is designed to trigger when the trend first changes from bullish to bearish. It does not repeatedly alert every day while price remains below the stop.
Important considerations
The Trade Control Adaptive ATR Chandelier Stop is a trade management tool, not a complete trading strategy.
Traders should also consider technical support and resistance, entry price, position size, maximum acceptable loss, earnings risk, gap risk, and overall market conditions.
A stock can gap below the plotted stop, particularly around earnings or major news. The indicator does not guarantee execution at the displayed price. Indicator
Chandelier Exit Flip Zones [AGPro Series]Chandelier Exit Flip Zones
Chandelier Exit Flip Zones is a premium ATR trailing-stop and exit-state engine built for traders who want more than a simple stop line on the chart.
The script takes the classic Chandelier Exit concept and turns it into a structured decision layer:
Chandelier trail -> trail-side flip -> flip quality -> continuation state -> exit-pressure awareness
The result is a clean public-free tool for reading trend continuation, trailing-stop pressure, and Chandelier flip transitions without turning the chart into a crowded signal board.
📌 Why This Script Exists
Chandelier Exit is one of the most practical and searched trailing-stop concepts because it connects trend direction with volatility. Many traders use it to trail positions, judge when momentum is still holding, or identify when price is starting to lose distance from its active stop area.
Most Chandelier tools stop at the line.
This script adds the missing context:
- Which side of the Chandelier trail is active?
- How far is price from the trail in ATR terms?
- Was the latest trail flip strong or weak?
- Is the market still in continuation mode?
- Is price compressing back into an exit-watch area?
- Did the transition create a clean forward flip zone?
That extra layer is what makes the script more useful than a standard ATR trailing-stop overlay.
⚡ What Makes It Different From Standard Chandelier Exit Indicators
Most public Chandelier Exit indicators are visually simple. They usually plot a long stop, a short stop, and sometimes a basic flip marker.
Chandelier Exit Flip Zones is built around a stronger reading model.
It evaluates each trail flip through a quality score that combines:
- Trail-break strength
- EMA trend agreement
- Range expansion
- Candle close location
- Optional volume participation
This means the script does not treat every flip equally. A weak flip inside chop is not presented with the same weight as a cleaner transition with better structure, stronger expansion, and better directional agreement.
The script also uses quality-filtered Flip Zones. These boxes are not generic support and resistance areas. They are drawn around the Chandelier transition area where price breaks the previous trail and establishes a new active side. The purpose is to mark the actual trail-flip area, not to fill the chart with unrelated levels.
🧭 How It Is Different From Other AGProLabs Scripts
This script was intentionally kept in a narrow Chandelier Exit lane so it does not overlap with other AGProLabs public releases.
It is not a SuperTrend script. SuperTrend logic is built around a different volatility-band mechanism, while this tool is built around Chandelier high/low structure anchors and ATR trail distance.
It is not an ATR compression or ATR breakout script. Those concepts focus on volatility contraction, breakout pressure, or expansion behavior. This script focuses on the active trailing-stop side, distance from the Chandelier trail, and exit-state awareness.
It is not a generic trend dashboard. The panel is compact and centered on trail side, ATR multiple, distance, flip quality, and continuation or exit-watch state.
It is not a support/resistance zone engine. The only zones are concept-native Flip Zones created from qualified Chandelier trail transitions.
This keeps the script differentiated, practical, and publication-safe inside the AGPro Series catalog.

📊 Panel Readout
The panel is designed to give a fast read without visual overload:
Trail Side
Shows whether the active Chandelier trail is currently long-side or short-side.
ATR Multiple
Shows the volatility multiple used by the current trail.
Distance
Shows how far price is from the active trail in both ATR and percentage terms.
Flip Quality
Displays the most recent flip score and classification.
State
Classifies the current condition as continuation, control, or exit watch.
🎯 How To Read It
A strong Chandelier flip means price has crossed the prior active trail with enough quality to deserve attention. The score helps separate cleaner transitions from weaker flips in noisy conditions.
A continuation state means price has moved far enough from the active trail and still has trend agreement behind it. This is the cleaner trend-following condition.
A control state means price is on one side of the trail, but the continuation profile is not yet strong enough to classify as a high-conviction continuation read.
An exit-watch state means price has compressed back toward the active Chandelier trail. This does not make the script a prediction tool. It simply highlights that the active trend has less distance from its trailing-stop structure and deserves closer attention.
💎 Why Traders May Like It
The script is useful because it keeps the original simplicity of Chandelier Exit while adding the context traders usually have to judge manually.
It can help users read:
- Trend-following continuation quality
- ATR trailing-stop distance
- Trail-side transitions
- Cleaner Chandelier flip zones
- Exit-pressure areas near the active trail
- Strong versus weak flip behavior
The default view is intentionally restrained. Exit-watch labels are available, but disabled by default so the first chart impression stays cleaner. Flip labels and zones are also filtered by score so the chart does not get flooded during sideways periods.
🛠 Suggested Use Cases
- Trend-following exit management
- Swing-trading trail awareness
- Crypto trend continuation tracking
- Forex and index trailing-stop context
- Stock trend-state monitoring
- Identifying stronger Chandelier trail transitions
- Monitoring when price compresses back toward the active trail

Stop Loss Optimizer Engine [AGPro Series]Stop Loss Optimizer Engine
🔹 OVERVIEW
Stop Loss Optimizer Engine compares four independent stop-loss methodologies side by side on a single chart, so traders can see at a glance where each approach would place protection and which one has historically held up best on the current symbol and timeframe. Every method is calculated for both LONG and SHORT, giving eight reference levels plus a compact panel with distance-to-price and a historical hold-rate statistic per method. A Risk Zone highlights the area between current price and the method with the strongest historical hold-rate, providing a clean S/R-style visual anchor for position sizing and R-multiple planning.
🔹 UNIQUE EDGE
Most stop-loss indicators on the platform commit to a single philosophy — pure ATR, pure Chandelier, or pure structure. Traders who want to compare approaches end up loading multiple scripts and eyeballing the differences. Stop Loss Optimizer Engine is built around a different premise: volatility, structure, trailing and recent-extreme stops each have environments in which they work well, and the trader should decide based on evidence rather than habit. The indicator renders all four on one chart, adds a per-method hold-rate measured on the active instrument, and flags the highest-hold-rate method with a star marker so the comparison is always a single glance away. The Risk Zone is drawn using the current-best method, which means the visual anchor adapts to whichever approach is statistically holding up best on that symbol and timeframe right now.
🔹 METHODOLOGY
The four engines are independent and each produces a LONG and a SHORT level:
ATR-SL — close minus or plus ATR × multiplier. Volatility-adaptive, widens in turbulent markets, tightens in calm ones.
Pivot-SL — the most recent confirmed pivot low or pivot high. Respects market structure, places the stop beyond the last reversal point rather than at an arithmetic distance.
Chandelier-SL — highest high minus ATR × multiplier for LONG, lowest low plus ATR × multiplier for SHORT. The classic Le Beau / Elder trailing stop, designed to follow strong trends without premature exits.
Swing-SL — the lowest low or highest high over a short lookback. A simple, robust baseline that works well for shorter trades and scalping.
Hold Rate — for every historical bar in the lookback window, the indicator records the SL level that each method would have produced at that bar, then checks whether price breached that level within a fixed forward window. Hold Rate is the percentage of evaluated bars in which the SL was not breached. This is a pure historical observation, not a forward performance projection.
🔹 SIGNALS & ALERTS
Visual — dotted lines for LONG stops (plotted below price), dashed lines for SHORT stops (plotted above price). Each method uses a distinct color. Labels sit at the right edge of each line with the method name and exact price. A dedicated anti-overlap resolver repositions labels vertically whenever two or more methods produce near-identical levels, so the rightmost chart panel stays readable in tight clusters.
Risk Zone — a shaded rectangle between current close and the highest-hold-rate SL on the trend-dominant side, extending forward from the current bar. Color matches the selected best method.
Panel — four-column layout showing method, LONG price (and distance %), SHORT price (and distance %), and Hold Rate, with a star marker beside the method currently holding the highest rate. A trend footer reports Bullish or Bearish based on the EMA50 filter.
Alerts — four pre-configured conditions for price breaching the ATR and Chandelier SL levels on either side.
🔹 KEY INPUTS
Method toggles for each of the four engines. Length and multiplier inputs per method, with balanced defaults (ATR 1.5× / 14, Pivot length 5, Chandelier 2.5× / 22, Swing lookback 7). Hold-rate statistics lookback and forward window, defaulting to 1000 and 10 bars. Visual controls for long-side lines, short-side lines, labels, the Risk Zone and a trend-based dimming of the counter-trend side. Panel location (six positions), panel theme (Dark or Light), and adjustable font sizes for panel and labels, all defaulting to Normal.
🔹 HOW TO USE
Open the indicator on any symbol and any timeframe. Read the panel first — the starred method is the one with the best historical hold-rate on the current chart. Pick a method that matches the trade plan: ATR for volatility-aware scalps, Pivot for structural setups, Chandelier for trend-following swings, Swing for simple quick trades. Use the Hold Rate column as secondary evidence, not as a standalone forecast. Read the SL price and the distance percentage next to it to size position accordingly — a 2% stop and a 6% stop are not the same trade, even on the same entry. The Risk Zone is a convenience visual for the trend-dominant side and should be interpreted together with the other levels, not in isolation.
🔹 LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY
Hold Rate is a backward-looking statistic computed on historical bars of the active chart. It describes what would have happened under a fixed forward-window assumption on past data and does not guarantee any future behavior. The forward-window length, lookback size and method parameters all influence the resulting numbers; changing inputs changes the statistic. The Pivot-SL method depends on the availability of confirmed pivots in the lookback window and will fall back to a conservative ATR-based placeholder when a pivot is not yet confirmed. Risk Zone selection is based on hold-rate ranking, which can switch between methods as markets evolve. This script is a decision-support tool for discretionary risk management, not a trade-entry signal generator. Always combine with independent analysis and sound position sizing. Past performance of any stop-loss method does not guarantee future results.

Chandelier Exit Pro w/ExtensionsChandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions
The Chandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk and identifying trend reversals. The strategy is based on the Chandelier Exit concept, originally created by Charles Le Beau. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop levels that adjust based on market volatility. This script not only implements the standard Chandelier Exit, but also introduces extension levels and alerts to enhance decision-making.
Key Features:
➡️Dynamic Stop Levels: The indicator calculates stop levels for both long and short positions based on an ATR multiple. This allows traders to determine exit points by monitoring when the price crosses above or below these levels. These levels adapt in real-time based on price volatility, making them a versatile tool for trend-following strategies.
➡️Extension Levels: In addition to the primary stop levels, the script includes extension levels for more advanced stop-loss management. Traders can view active and extension levels separately, providing more flexibility in their exit strategies.
➡️Labels and Visual Cues: The indicator provides dynamic labels that automatically update and follow the plotted stop levels. Labels include the ATR multiplier value (e.g., "2.5" or "2.5ext"), clearly showing the significance of each level. When price crosses below or above a level, the corresponding label is highlighted, aiding traders in quickly identifying the most relevant stop level.
➡️Bar Confirmation and Alerts: The script includes an "await bar confirmation" option to ensure that the stop levels and alerts only trigger after the bar has closed. Alerts are customizable and will notify traders when price crosses critical levels, helping to make timely decisions without the need to constantly monitor charts.
➡️Multiple ATR Levels for Enhanced Precision: The indicator supports up to four different ATR levels, each with customizable multipliers. This allows traders to set different thresholds for exits based on varying degrees of volatility. For example, Level 1 (2.5x ATR) might represent a tighter stop, while Level 4 (10x ATR) could serve as a wider stop for long-term positions.
➡️Calc_bars_count: Improves efficiency of the indicator by reducing the on-chart calculations in to the past. This input can be found at the bottom of the INPUTS tab.
How it Helps Traders:
💥Trend Identification: By using the Chandelier Exit levels, traders can identify when the trend is likely to reverse. When the price crosses below the stop level in a long trade or above the stop level in a short trade, it signals a potential exit point.
💥Volatility-based Adjustments: Unlike static stop-loss methods, the ATR-based stop levels dynamically adjust based on the market’s volatility. This means tighter stops during low volatility periods and wider stops during high volatility periods, reducing the chance of being stopped out prematurely.
💥Risk Management: The dynamic stop levels and extension levels provide a structured way to manage risk. Traders can set tighter stops for short-term trades and wider stops for longer-term trades. The script's visual labels make it easy to track these levels in real-time.
💥Automation with Alerts: The built-in alert system ensures that traders are notified when key levels are crossed. This helps to avoid emotional decision-making and allows for better execution of trading strategies.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of the Chandelier Exit indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use the Chandelier Exit levels in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and the Chandelier Exit signals a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the Chandelier Exit signals a trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the Chandelier Exit triggers a short signal and the RSI also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern near a Chandelier Exit resistance level offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the Chandelier Exit with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
Practical Use Case:
Imagine a trader enters a long position, and the price moves favorably. Using the Chandelier Exit, the trader sets the initial stop level at 2.5x ATR below the highest close. As the price continues to rise, the stop level follows the price, locking in profits. If the market suddenly turns, the price crossing below the stop level signals an exit, helping the trader preserve gains. With extension levels, the trader can further refine exits, adjusting based on their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Good luck and I hope that you can find a place in your tool bag to use this dynamic indicator 🙏 Indicator
