Triple Barrier Exit with Meta LabelingOverview
Most tools tell you when to enter. This one frames how a trade would be managed — and then keeps an honest record of how that framing actually resolved. It takes a primary entry signal (its own built-in breakout, or any external signal series you point it at), draws a volatility-scaled profit barrier, stop barrier and time barrier around it, watches which is touched first, and feeds every resolved outcome into a live track record. On top sits a meta-label gate: a small online model that learns, from those resolved outcomes, whether to take or skip the next signal.
It is a research and trade-framing study — not a strategy, not a signal service, and not a validated edge.
Why these parts are ONE tool (mashup rationale)
Each layer exists because the one before it leaves a question open:
The triple barrier. A raw entry signal has no definition of success. Profit / stop / time barriers, scaled by current volatility (ATR or an EWMA of returns), turn a signal into a labelled outcome: profit-hit, stop-hit, or timed-out. Widths are regime-asymmetric — the profit barrier widens in trend and tightens in chop — because a fixed frame misprices the same signal in different conditions.
The trend-scanning vertical. A fixed holding time is arbitrary. The time barrier is instead chosen from candidate horizons by the strongest |t-value| of a linear fit — the horizon over which price is actually trending most decisively.
The meta-label gate. Knowing outcomes isn't the same as acting on them. A small online logistic model, trained only on resolved outcomes, scores each new signal and says TAKE or SKIP. It stays disabled until enough trades have resolved, so it never acts on an untrained model.
The honesty layer. Overlapping trades are not independent samples — so wins are recency-decayed and reported with a Wilson 95% lower bound per regime, alongside a reliability table and a Brier score for the meta-gate itself. If the gate isn't calibrated, the panel says so.
Remove any layer and the tool either mislabels the trade, mistimes it, acts on an untested model, or reports a win-rate it hasn't earned.
How it works
A primary signal fires. If the meta-gate passes, the trade is framed: profit = entry ± (PT × regime multiplier × σ), stop = entry ∓ (SL × regime multiplier × σ), and a vertical barrier holdH bars ahead. The frame is drawn as a forward box that recolours green / red / grey on first touch. Same-bar ties resolve stop-first (the conservative assumption). MFE and MAE are tracked live on the open trade. On resolution, the outcome trains the meta-model and updates the per-regime statistics.
How to use it
Read the panel before you trust the frame.
Meta gate — whether the model would take or skip the current signal (stays "warming" until it has enough resolved samples).
Wilson 95% lower — the honest floor of the win-rate in the current regime. If it isn't above 50%, this framing has not demonstrated an edge here.
Meta Brier — below ~0.25 means the gate's probabilities are reasonably calibrated; above it, ignore the gate.
The most useful thing you can do with it: point it at your own entry signal via the external-source input, and see how your signal resolves under a disciplined exit frame. The suggested size is advisory arithmetic (risk ÷ stop distance), not a recommendation. Only one trade is managed at a time — this is a study of the framing, not a portfolio simulator. The dashboard has a Compact layout (default) and a Pro layout (adds the scanned horizon, Brier, reliability tiers, PT/SL/timeout counts, live MFE/MAE and suggested size).
Universal across markets
Entry source, σ source, barrier widths and horizons are all inputs, so it runs on any symbol and timeframe. It needs no volume. Defaults target intraday index futures.
Non-repainting
Entries are taken and outcomes resolved only on confirmed bars, and the meta-model is trained only on resolved outcomes — so no statistic reads its own future and nothing inflates intrabar. The live "next-trade frame" preview is a forward projection at the current bar only, by design.
Originality
The triple barrier, meta-labelling and trend-scanning are published research concepts, credited below. What's assembled here is the specific synthesis: the triple barrier used as a live exit/management frame rather than an offline training pipeline, regime-asymmetric barrier widths, an online meta-gate that trains itself on the chart in front of you, and an honesty panel that reports the Wilson lower bound, the reliability tiers and the gate's own Brier score. Clean-room implementation; no third-party code reused.
Concept credits
Triple-barrier labelling, meta-labelling, trend-scanning, and sample uniqueness / time-decay for non-IID overlapping outcomes — Marcos López de Prado (Advances in Financial Machine Learning). Here the triple barrier is used as an exit/management frame and a labelling substrate, not as a training pipeline.
Wilson score confidence interval — Edwin B. Wilson · Brier score — Glenn W. Brier
Average True Range — J. Welles Wilder · Efficiency Ratio — Perry Kaufman
Inverse-volatility position sizing — standard risk-management practice
Honest limits
Overlapping trades are not independent, which is exactly why wins are decayed and reported with a Wilson lower bound rather than a raw percentage — treat the win-rate as descriptive, not a probability of future results. The meta-model is a small online logistic fit on three features; it can be miscalibrated, which is why its Brier score is shown. All figures are in-sample, with no costs, slippage or spread. Nothing here predicts price.

0.75% Rule - Trade ProjectionA position-sizing and reward-projection overlay for discretionary traders.
You place an entry and a stop on the chart, and the script returns the
position size that risks a fixed fraction of your account, then projects
your reward targets as R-multiples. Direction (long or short) is inferred
from where you click. The focus is getting currency-correct sizing right
with as little input as possible, and catching the sizing mistakes that
quietly distort risk.
📊 What it does
- Sizes the trade so the entry-to-stop distance equals a fixed percentage
of account equity. Default is 0.75%, a conservative fixed-fractional
risk rule, but the percentage is adjustable.
- Reports the result in the correct unit for the instrument: lots and
units for forex, or contracts/shares sized off point value elsewhere.
- Projects a configurable number of reward targets spaced in R-multiples
(1R, 2R, 3R ...), each labeled with its R-multiple and the reward amount
in your account currency.
- Draws the risk zone (entry to stop) and reward zones, plus an info panel
summarizing account, risk, direction, stop distance, size and R:R.
⚙️ How it works
- Risk amount = account size x risk %. Position size = risk amount /
(stop distance x point value x conversion rate). For forex this is
converted into standard lots.
- Direction is read from the two clicks: a stop below entry is a long,
a stop above entry is a short.
- Instrument detection is automatic (forex, JPY pairs, metals, index,
crypto) via symbol info, with a manual override if you need it.
- Account-to-quote currency conversion is explicit and manual. The
account-currency dropdown is a display label only; the single field
that adjusts lot size is the conversion rate. The panel flags the two
mistakes that actually distort risk: leaving the rate at 1.0 on a
mismatched pair, and applying a non-1.0 rate when the currencies match.
- An optional ATR-based stop can override the clicked stop (length and
multiplier adjustable). Direction still comes from your clicks.
- Repaint-free by construction: no higher-timeframe requests, entry and
stop are static prices, and all drawing is deterministic.
📋 How to use it
1. Add the script. It prompts you to click an entry price, then a stop.
2. Set account size and risk % in settings (default 0.75%).
3. If your account currency differs from the pair's quote currency, enter
the conversion rate (account currency per one unit of quote currency).
The panel warns you when a rate is needed.
4. Read position size, R:R and target levels from the panel and on-chart
labels.
5. For a new setup, open the indicator menu, choose Reset points, then
re-click entry and stop. The Re-arm toggle pauses the current
projection so a stale setup cannot mislead you.
## Notes
- This is a planning and risk-discipline tool, not a signal generator and
not financial advice. It does not place trades.
- For non-forex instruments, sanity-check the point value against your
broker's contract specs before trusting the size.
- Inputs are absolute prices, so after switching symbols you may need to
re-click entry and stop. The script detects an off-scale setup and
prompts you. Indicator
Position Sizing CalculatorA simple automated calculator that shows how many shares can be bought or sold if a specific maximum amount is to be risked on the position.
The risk per share is assumed to be the distance to the respective buy or sell line of the Supertrend indicator. This is based on a calculation of the ATR for the last ten days, which is multiplied by a fixed factor and plotted against the highest or lowest candle of the past ten days.
The parameters can be changed manually. By default, a risk of $500 per trade is assumed.
For each of the last bars, the calculator displays the distance to the calculated exit and, through a simple division, calculates the number of shares that could be bought or sold in a potential long or short position to achieve this hypothetical maximum risk.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the respective price will actually be reached, but the calculator can help provide a reference point for sizing the position.
The principle is clearly visible in the screenshots: FRT is a stock that moves slowly and is only a short distance from the stop-loss level. At the current price of $114.47 and a calculated stop at $108.99, 91 shares could be purchased to risk $500. In total, that would be an order of $10,416.77 for a long position.
SOUN, on the other hand, has a very wide margin to the stop-loss; it is a stock with high volatility. Therefore, only 300 shares can be purchased here to achieve the same hypothetical risk. The position would thus be worth only $2,841.

Take Profit Planner [AGPro Series]Take Profit Planner
🎯 **Overview**
**Take Profit Planner ** is a precision exit-planning tool that transforms trade management from guesswork into a structured process. It builds a disciplined profit ladder around any trade idea — whether you are a scalper managing rapid exits or a swing trader stepping out of positions over days — and keeps the entire plan on one chart with live progress tracking.
Most traders agonize over entries and leave exits to improvisation. This tool flips that habit: define your anchor, choose your calculation style, and the script projects a complete multi-tier exit map with stop loss, position-sizing allocation, confluence scoring, and real-time hit tracking.
🪜 **What Makes It Different**
Unlike conventional take-profit indicators that plot a single ATR-based target or fixed R:R pair, this tool offers a **multi-layer exit architecture**:
▫️ **Three Calculation Modes** — Fibonacci Extensions, R-Multiples, or Hybrid Confluence in a single tool
▫️ **Three Anchor Sources** — Manual price inputs, auto pivot detection, or recent S/R zone anchoring
▫️ **Confluence Scoring** — In Hybrid mode, every target receives a ★ / ★★ / ★★★ rating based on how many independent level types (Fib, round number, pivot S/R) cluster at that price
▫️ **Position-Sizing Layer** — Allocate a custom percentage of your position to close at each tier, with automatic weighted P&L calculation
▫️ **Live Progress Tracking** — Visual hit confirmation (✓), realized vs expected profit, and a six-state status ladder: ACTIVE → PROGRESSING → IN PROFIT → NEAR COMPLETE → ALL TPs HIT → STOPPED OUT
🧠 **Methodology**
▫️ **Anchor Detection** — The script identifies a trade's origin (Swing) and entry point using one of three methods. Auto Pivot uses a confirmable `pivothigh`/`pivotlow` with configurable length. Auto S/R uses the most recent swing extremes as structural anchor points. Manual lets you input exact prices.
▫️ **Direction Inference** — LONG or SHORT is determined automatically from the geometry: Entry above Swing → LONG, Entry below Swing → SHORT. No manual flag needed.
▫️ **Stop-Loss Logic** — Three modes: ATR Multiple (volatility-adaptive), Swing Point (structural), or Fixed Percent (disciplined). In Manual anchor mode, you set the stop directly.
▫️ **Target Projection** — Fibonacci mode projects targets from the Anchor→Swing leg using standard extensions (1.272, 1.414, 1.618, 2.000, 2.618). R-Multiple mode multiplies the stop distance by risk factors (1R, 2R, 3R, 5R, 8R). Hybrid uses Fibonacci as base and scores confluence.
▫️ **Confluence Algorithm** — For each Fibonacci target, the script checks proximity to: (1) the nearest psychological round number within 0.15 ATR, (2) the most recent pivot high within 0.2 ATR, (3) the most recent pivot low within 0.2 ATR. Each alignment adds one point to the base Fibonacci score.
▫️ **Hit Detection** — On every confirmed bar, the script checks whether price crossed each un-hit target. Hits are persistent until the anchor changes by more than 1 ATR, at which point the plan resets.
🔔 **Signals & Alerts**
▫️ **TP Hit** — Fires once per bar when price touches a specific target. Alert message includes tier number, price, and direction.
▫️ **SL Hit** — Fires once when stop-loss is breached.
▫️ **All TPs Reached** — Fires once when the full ladder is completed.
All alerts are non-repainting and trigger only on confirmed bars.
🎛️ **Key Inputs**
▫️ **Calculation Mode** — Fibonacci Extensions, R-Multiples, or Hybrid Confluence
▫️ **Anchor Source** — Manual Price, Auto Pivot High/Low, or Auto Recent S/R
▫️ **Pivot Length** — Bars of confirmation for automatic pivot detection (default 10)
▫️ **Stop-Loss Mode** — ATR Multiple, Swing Point, or Fixed Percent
▫️ **Number of TP Tiers** — 2 to 7 (default 5)
▫️ **Fibonacci / R-Multiple Levels** — Fully customizable per tier
▫️ **Allocation %** — Position-sizing percentage per tier
▫️ **Zone Half-Width (ATR)** — Vertical thickness of target zones in ATR units
▫️ **Panel Location & Theme** — Six positions, Dark or Light theme
▫️ **Label & Panel Font Size** — Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
💡 **How to Use**
▫️ **Scalper Workflow (Fast Exits)** — Set Calculation Mode to R-Multiples, tier count to 3, allocations to 50 / 30 / 20. Use Auto Pivot with pivot length 5–8 on lower timeframes. Exit weighted-partials at each R-level.
▫️ **Swing Trader Workflow (Multi-Day Holds)** — Set Calculation Mode to Hybrid Confluence, tier count to 5, allocations to 20 / 20 / 25 / 20 / 15. Use Auto Pivot with length 10–15 on 4H or daily. Prioritize exits at ★★★ confluence targets.
▫️ **Discretionary Trader Workflow** — Set Anchor Source to Manual Price, enter your own Entry, Swing, and SL values. Choose Fibonacci mode for trend-based projections or Hybrid for confluence-weighted decisions.
▫️ **Position Management** — The Expected line in the panel shows total profit % if all active tiers are filled (weighted by allocation). The Realized line tracks booked profit as tiers fill. Use this to compare planned vs actual performance.
⚠️ **Limitations & Transparency**
▫️ This is a **planning and visualization tool**, not an entry signal generator. It assumes you already have a trade bias; it structures the exit.
▫️ **Auto-anchor modes** rely on confirmed pivots, which means the most recent plan updates a few bars after a fresh pivot forms. This is intentional to prevent repainting.
▫️ **Confluence scoring** is based on the current snapshot of pivot highs/lows and round numbers. As price moves and new pivots form, scores may change.
▫️ **Hit detection** uses bar highs/lows on confirmed candles only.
▫️ The tool does not know your actual fill prices, slippage, or spreads — expected and realized percentages assume exact execution at target prices.

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.

Risk Reward Visualizer [AGPro Series]Risk Reward Visualizer
🔹 Overview
Risk Reward Visualizer is a professional trade-planning indicator that transforms every setup into a clean visual framework: entry, stop-loss, and up to three take-profit targets displayed as long rectangular R-multiple zones. Beyond basic visualization, it adds three features rarely found together in one tool — a breakeven probability calculator, live MFE/MAE excursion tracking, and an automatic trail-to-breakeven workflow.
The indicator is built for traders who think in R-multiples: swing traders, prop-firm candidates, day traders, and anyone who wants to answer the question "does this setup actually make mathematical sense?" before committing capital.
🔹 What Makes It Different
Most risk/reward scripts stop at drawing levels and a position-size table. This one goes further:
• Breakeven Probability Math — For every R target, the panel displays the minimum win rate required to break even, adjusted for round-trip fees. A 3R target needs only 25% wins; a 1R target needs 50%. Seeing this side-by-side reframes how you evaluate setups.
• Live MFE / MAE Tracking — Maximum Favorable Excursion and Maximum Adverse Excursion are tracked in real time from the moment the setup becomes valid. Labels mark the exact bar of each peak in R-multiples, with leader lines connecting the label to the wick, so you can grade trade quality after the fact.
• Trail-to-Breakeven Visualization — When TP1 is hit, the original stop fades and a new breakeven line is drawn at entry, making the risk management discipline visible on the chart.
• Hybrid Auto-Detect — Leave Entry and Stop at zero and the script fills them using the current close and the most recent swing pivot plus an ATR buffer. Provide one manually and the other auto-completes. Everything can be overridden.
🔹 Methodology
Levels are calculated from the standard R-multiple framework:
• Risk per unit = |Entry − Stop|
• Take-profit N = Entry ± (N × Risk per unit), signed by trade direction
• Breakeven win rate = (1 + fees_R) / (1 + R target)
Direction is auto-inferred from the relationship between Entry and Stop (Long when Stop is below Entry, Short otherwise), and can be forced. Auto-detect uses a pivot lookback to locate the most recent swing high or low, then offsets the stop by a user-defined ATR multiple to reduce wick-out risk.
MFE and MAE reset whenever Entry or Stop changes, so editing inputs restarts tracking cleanly. Hit detection uses bar high or low against each level and fires alerts only on the rising edge of each event.
🔹 Visuals & Signals
• Risk zone rendered as a pink rectangle between Entry and Stop
• TP1, TP2 and TP3 zones rendered as stacked teal rectangles with graded opacity
• Entry line in indigo, stop in pink, take-profits in teal
• Labels anchor to the right edge of the zone so they never hide candles
• MFE label on the favorable excursion peak, MAE on the adverse peak, each offset 1.5 ATR with a dotted leader line
• Alerts: TP1 hit, TP2 hit, TP3 hit, Stop Loss hit, Breakeven reached
🔹 Key Inputs
• Setup Mode — Manual, Auto-Detect, or Hybrid
• Trade Side — Auto, Long, or Short
• Entry and Stop — leave at zero to auto-detect
• Swing Lookback and ATR Buffer — for auto-detected stops
• TP1, TP2, TP3 multipliers with individual show/hide toggles
• Trail Stop to Breakeven After TP1 — toggle
• Round-Trip Fees (%) — folded into breakeven math
• Enable Position Size Calculator — optional; account size and risk percentage
• Panel location, panel font size, label font size, zone length, zone transparency
🔹 How To Use
Step 1 — Add the script to any symbol and timeframe. By default, Hybrid mode uses the current close as entry and the most recent swing plus an ATR buffer as stop.
Step 2 — Override Entry or Stop with your planned levels if you have a specific setup in mind.
Step 3 — Check the Breakeven Analysis section of the panel. Confirm the minimum win rate required for your chosen R target is realistic for your strategy.
Step 4 — Set alerts for the targets you want to be notified on. If Trail-to-Breakeven is enabled, you will also receive a notification when TP1 hits so you can move your stop in your broker.
Step 5 — After the trade, review MFE and MAE to grade execution. Did price reach favorable excursion that you missed? Did it dip deep into risk before resolving?
🔹 Limitations & Transparency
• This is a planning and visualization tool. It does not place orders and does not produce buy or sell signals.
• The breakeven calculation treats fees as a percentage of entry price converted into R-units. It is a useful approximation, not a tax or slippage model.
• Auto-detected stops depend on recent swing structure. On very low-liquidity symbols or during strong trends without pullbacks, recent swings may be stale. Verify visually before using.
• MFE and MAE tracking uses bar high or low and resets when inputs change.
• Position sizing assumes a linear contract value and does not account for margin, leverage, or instrument-specific tick rules. Always cross-check with your broker.

AG Pro Position Planner [AGPro Series]AG Pro Position Planner
OVERVIEW
AG Pro Position Planner is a structured trade-planning and risk-organization tool designed for traders who want to map a position before execution. It focuses on four core elements of trade preparation: entry location, stop placement, target mapping, and position sizing. Instead of trying to predict direction or generate automated entries, the script helps organize a plan around levels that the user defines manually.
The purpose of this tool is not to tell the user what to buy or sell. Its purpose is to turn a discretionary plan into a visible, measurable framework on the chart. By combining entry, stop, risk budget, capital usage, and target structure in one view, the script helps reduce planning ambiguity and makes the trade idea easier to review before any order is placed.
The script supports both long and short planning. It can also operate in two different target modes. In R-Based mode, targets are derived from the distance between entry and stop. In Manual mode, the user can input exact target prices directly and the script will convert those targets into their implied R-multiples. This allows the same tool to support both systematic planning and discretionary scenario mapping without changing the underlying workflow.
The visual design is intentionally restrained. The chart shows entry, stop, and target levels, along with optional reward and risk zones. A compact panel summarizes the key planning information, including direction, mode, risk per unit, risk budget, sizing, exposure, and target statistics. The result is a planning layout that remains readable on both light and dark themes while keeping the focus on structure rather than decoration.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script helps the user:
• define a planned entry price
• define a planned stop price
• convert account risk into a position size estimate
• map one to three targets on the chart
• compare manual targets to the initial risk distance
• review exposure before execution
• validate whether a manual target structure is logically ordered
• visualize the reward zone above entry and the risk zone below entry for long scenarios, or the inverse logic for short scenarios
The script is designed as a planning layer. It does not attempt to replace the user’s analysis process. It assumes the user already has a trade idea and needs a cleaner way to structure and review that idea.
UNIQUE EDGE
The distinguishing feature of this script is not signal generation. Its edge is organizational clarity.
Many tools focus on entries, signals, or directional interpretation. This one focuses on plan construction. The user chooses the key prices, and the script translates them into a coherent risk model. That distinction matters. The script does not present itself as a forecasting engine, a market-timing system, or an automated decision model. It is a position-planning framework.
A second differentiator is the dual target workflow. Some users think in fixed R-multiples. Others think in exact price objectives. AG Pro Position Planner supports both approaches in the same interface. In Manual mode, the script still reports the effective R-value of each target, which helps the user compare discretionary targets against the initial stop distance without losing consistency.
A third differentiator is the built-in validation behavior. The script checks whether the trade structure is logically valid for the chosen direction. In Manual mode, it also checks whether the targets are placed in the correct direction and in the correct order. This helps the user detect plan errors before execution rather than after the fact.
METHODOLOGY
The planning model is straightforward by design.
1) Entry and stop define the base risk distance.
The script measures the absolute distance between entry and stop. That distance becomes the reference risk per unit.
2) Account risk defines the risk budget.
The user enters an account size and a percentage risk per trade. The script converts this into a monetary risk budget.
3) Position size is estimated from the risk budget.
The script divides the risk budget by effective risk per unit and rounds the resulting quantity down to the selected quantity step.
4) Optional fee adjustment can be included.
An estimated fee percentage can be added to the per-unit risk as a conservative sizing buffer.
5) Targets are then mapped in one of two ways.
In R-Based mode, each target is calculated from the entry-to-stop distance using the selected R-multipliers.
In Manual mode, the user provides exact target prices and the script calculates the implied R-value of each target relative to the original stop distance.
6) Exposure statistics are summarized in the panel.
The panel shows stop distance, capital usage, risk budget, and sizing information so the trade can be evaluated as a complete plan rather than as isolated levels.
This methodology is intentionally transparent. The script is not using hidden directional filters, prediction logic, or undisclosed entry models. The calculations are derived from the user’s own inputs.

R-Based mode is intended for users who want a consistent structure around initial risk. The user defines entry and stop, then sets target multipliers such as 1R, 2R, or 3R. The script projects those levels automatically from the base risk distance. This is useful when the user wants standardized scenario planning and fast comparison between multiple setups.
Manual Mode
Manual mode is intended for users who work with exact price objectives. In this mode, the user enters target prices directly. The script then converts those levels into implied R-values. This allows discretionary targets to be measured against the same initial risk model.
To reduce planning mistakes, the script validates whether manual targets are placed in the correct direction and in the correct order for the chosen trade direction. Invalid target structures are flagged in the panel instead of being silently accepted.
PANEL AND VISUAL STRUCTURE
The chart can display:
• entry line
• stop line
• target lines
• reward zone
• risk zone
• right-side labels for entry, stop, and targets
• a compact summary panel
The panel is designed to keep the most useful information visible without taking over the chart. Its goal is to support review, not to dominate the screen.
The compact panel includes:
• plan summary
• validation badge
• entry and stop
• risk per unit
• risk budget
• sizing
• exposure
• target statistics
This structure is meant to help the user answer practical questions quickly:
How much is being risked?
How large is the position?
How much capital is being used?
How far is the stop?
What does each target represent in both price and R terms?
KEY INPUTS
Trade Setup
• Trade Direction
• Target Mode
• Entry Price
• Stop Price
• R-based targets
• Manual targets
Risk Model
• Account Size
• Risk Per Trade (%)
• Estimated Fees (%)
• Quantity Step
Visual Settings
• Panel visibility
• Panel position
• Panel theme
• Panel text size
• Level label size
• Label offset
• Risk/reward zone visibility
• Zone transparency
• Individual target visibility
These inputs are separated by function so the planning workflow stays readable and predictable.
VALIDATION AND SAFETY LOGIC
The script validates several conditions before presenting a plan as valid.
For direction:
• Long plans require stop below entry
• Short plans require stop above entry
For base structure:
• Entry must be positive
• Stop must be positive
• Account size must be positive
• Risk percentage must be positive
• Quantity step must be positive
• Entry and stop must not be identical
For manual targets:
• Targets must be in the correct direction relative to entry
• Targets must be logically ordered for the selected direction
If the structure is invalid, the panel reflects that status instead of presenting the setup as a clean plan. This behavior is intentional. The script is designed to help organize decisions, but also to prevent simple construction errors from being overlooked.
WHO THIS SCRIPT IS FOR
This script is intended for users who already make their own directional decisions and want a cleaner way to structure position plans on the chart.
It may be useful for:
• discretionary traders
• swing traders
• intraday traders
• users who plan entries and stops manually
• users who prefer fixed-R target mapping
• users who want manual targets translated into risk terms
• users who want better visual discipline before execution
It is less relevant for users who are looking for:
• automated entries
• hidden directional logic
• predictive signals
• scanner behavior
• portfolio automation
• strategy backtests
SIGNALS AND ALERTS
This script does not generate buy signals or sell signals.
This script does not publish automated trade calls.
This script does not attempt to identify market direction.
This script does not include alert logic for execution decisions.
Its purpose is planning, visualization, and risk organization.
LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
This script is a planning tool, not an execution engine.
It does not know whether the selected entry will be filled.
It does not know whether slippage will occur.
It does not know whether the market will reach the defined targets.
It does not account for instrument-specific margin rules, liquidation mechanics, funding costs, or exchange-specific order behavior unless the user adjusts inputs manually.
The sizing output is an estimate based on the values entered into the script. Real-world execution may differ due to slippage, fees, order type, spread, partial fills, and instrument-specific trading conditions.
In Manual mode, the script evaluates the price structure entered by the user, but it does not claim that those targets are likely to be reached. It only expresses them relative to the initial risk distance.
The chart zones are visual planning aids. They are not probability forecasts and should not be interpreted as predictive boundaries.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS NOT
This script is not:
• a strategy tester
• a signal service
• an automated trade system
• a forecasting model
• a promise of profitability
• a replacement for independent analysis
• a substitute for execution judgment
• a guarantee of risk control in live market conditions
It is a structured chart tool for planning and reviewing position scenarios.
RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading and investing involve risk. Any planned setup can fail, and losses can exceed expectations due to slippage, volatility, or execution conditions. This script is provided as an organizational and visualization tool only. Users remain fully responsible for their own analysis, trade selection, order placement, and risk management decisions.
No indicator can remove market risk. A visually clean plan is still only a plan. Position sizing, stop placement, and target mapping should always be reviewed in the context of the instrument, timeframe, liquidity conditions, and the user’s own trading process.
FINAL NOTE
AG Pro Position Planner is built around a simple idea: a trade plan should be measurable before it is actionable. By turning entry, stop, risk budget, sizing, and targets into a single visible structure, the script aims to make discretionary planning more disciplined, more transparent, and easier to review.
The script does not attempt to decide for the user. It helps the user define the plan clearly enough to evaluate it. Indicator
Geopbytech Risk Based Lots Calculator📊 Geopbytech – Risk Based Lots Calculator
Built by Juan C. Delgado
A lightweight and fast position size calculator designed to help traders determine optimal lot size directly from the TradingView chart.
No more switching to external websites during live execution.
Simply input:
Account Size (USD)
Risk Ratio %
Stop-Loss distance (pips or points)
The tool instantly calculates the correct lot size based on proper risk management.
🔹 How It Works
The calculator determines:
Risk ($) = Account Size × Risk %
Lot Size = Risk ($) ÷ (Stop-Loss Units × $ Value per Unit per 1 Lot)
Everything updates instantly as you change values.
🔹 Example
Account Size Risk % Stop Loss Result
$10,000 1% 20 pips 0.50 lots
$5,000 1% 15 pips 0.33 lots
$8,000 2% 30 pips 0.53 lots
🔹 Default Configuration (Forex – EURUSD)
By default, the script is optimized for standard Forex pairs like EURUSD.
You only need to:
Enter Account Size
Enter Risk %
Enter Stop-Loss in pips
The script automatically calculates pip value using standard 100,000 contract size.
🔹 Trading Gold (XAUUSD)
If you are trading Gold:
Enable:
✔ Override $ per unit (non-FX)
Then adjust:
• Override $ per 1 unit per 1 lot
(or use Custom Unit Size if needed depending on broker specification)
Because gold brokers may use different contract sizes.
🔹 Trading Indices
For indices (NAS100, US30, SPX, etc.):
You can:
• Leave override OFF (if TradingView provides correct point value)
OR
• Enable Override and manually define $ value per point per lot
Depends on your broker's contract specification.
🔹 Trading Cross Pairs (GBPJPY, EURJPY, etc.)
For Forex crosses:
Leave override OFF.
If calculation warning appears:
Adjust "Custom Unit Size" to match correct pip structure.
Example:
GBPJPY may require adjusting unit size depending on feed.
🔹 Inputs Explained
Account Size (USD)
Your total trading account balance.
Risk Ratio %
Percentage of account you are willing to lose per trade.
(Example: 1% = disciplined risk management)
Stop-Loss (pips / points)
Distance from entry to stop loss.
This must match what you use in the TradingView position tool.
Custom Unit Size (price)
Advanced setting.
Used when your symbol does not follow standard pip or tick logic.
You define how much price movement equals 1 unit.
FX Contract Size
Default: 100,000 (standard lot in Forex).
Only change if your broker uses non-standard contract sizes.
🎨 UI Customization
You can customize:
• Theme (Dark / Light / Midnight)
• Dashboard Position
• Transparency
• Text Size
• Warning visibility
⚠️ Important Notes
This tool calculates position size based on TradingView symbol specifications.

Geopbytech Indicator
Live Position Sizer (LPS)Description (EN)
(Magyar leíráshoz görgess lejjebb!)
Live Position Sizer (LPS) is a discretionary trading utility designed to visualize risk, reward, and position size directly on the chart in real time.
The indicator draws a TradingView-style long or short position box and calculates the required position size based on your defined capital, maximum risk, stop-loss distance, and a user-defined lot conversion factor.
LPS is intended strictly as a decision-support and risk management tool. It does not place trades or generate automated signals.
Core features:
Automatic Long / Short position visualization
Dynamic Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels
Real-time position size calculation
Configurable Risk/Reward ratio
Fully customizable colors, transparency, and line styles
Clean, minimal on-chart labels showing direction, RR, and lot size
Only one active position box at a time for a clutter-free chart
Position sizing logic:
TradingView internally calculates position size in units, not broker-specific lots.
To bridge this difference, LPS uses a user-defined “Units per 1 Lot” multiplier.
Examples:
Forex (standard lot): 100000
Gold (XAUUSD): 1 or 100 (broker dependent)
Indices (e.g. NAS100): 1
The indicator first calculates the position size in TradingView units and then converts it to lots using this multiplier.
The displayed lot size is rounded to 0.01 lots.
Stop Loss logic:
The Stop Loss level is derived from the High or Low of a selectable previous candle.
Increasing the bar-back value places the Stop Loss further away, which:
increases stop distance
reduces position size for the same risk
Intended use:
Manual / discretionary trading
Risk management and position sizing
Trade planning and visualization
Educational purposes
Important notes:
This indicator does not execute trades
No alerts or automation by default
Lot size and contract specifications vary by broker
Always verify the exact lot or contract size with your broker before trading
------------------------------------
Description (HU)
A Live Position Sizer (LPS) egy diszkrecionális kereskedést támogató segédindikátor, amely valós időben jeleníti meg a kockázatot, a célárat és a pozícióméretet közvetlenül a charton.
Az indikátor TradingView-stílusú long vagy short pozíció boxot rajzol, és kiszámolja a szükséges pozícióméretet a megadott tőke, maximális kockázat, stop-loss távolság és egy felhasználó által definiált LOT szorzó alapján.
Az LPS nem stratégia, kizárólag döntéstámogató és kockázatkezelési eszköz.
Fő funkciók:
Automatikus Long / Short pozíció megjelenítés
Entry, Stop Loss és Take Profit szintek vizuális ábrázolása
Valós idejű pozícióméret számítás
Állítható Risk/Reward arány
Teljesen testreszabható színek, átlátszóság és vonalstílus
Letisztult chart label (irány, RR, lot méret)
Egyszerre csak egy aktív pozíció box
Pozícióméretezési logika:
A TradingView belsőleg egységekben (units) számol, nem bróker-specifikus LOT-okban.
Ennek kezelésére az LPS egy „Units per 1 Lot” beállítást használ.
Példák:
Forex standard lot: 100000
Arany (XAUUSD): 1 vagy 100 (brókertől függ)
Indexek (pl. NAS100): 1
Az indikátor először TradingView egységekben számol, majd ezt átváltja LOT-ra a megadott szorzó segítségével.
A kijelzett LOT méret 0.01-re van kerekítve.
Stop Loss logika:
A Stop Loss szint a kiválasztott korábbi gyertya high vagy low értékéből kerül meghatározásra.
Nagyobb bar-back érték:
távolabb helyezi a stopot
azonos kockázat mellett kisebb pozícióméretet eredményez
Ajánlott felhasználás:
Manuális, diszkrecionális kereskedés
Kockázatkezelés és pozícióméretezés
Trade tervezés
Oktatási célok
Fontos megjegyzések:
Az indikátor nem köt automatikusan
Alapértelmezetten nincs alert vagy automatizmus
A LOT és contract méret brókerenként eltérhet
Kereskedés előtt mindig ellenőrizd a pontos LOT / contract specifikációt a brókerednél
Indicator
Average True Range % infoATR% is a modified version of the classic Average True Range indicator that displays price volatility as a percentage of the instrument's value, rather than in absolute values. This allows you to easily compare the volatility of different assets (e.g., Bitcoin vs Tesla stock) regardless of their price.
Main Features
1. ATR% Chart
The red line shows the average volatility from the last N candles (default 14), expressed as a percentage. For example:
ATR% = 2.5% means that the average daily move is approximately 2.5% of the asset's value
Higher values = greater volatility (higher profit potential, but also greater risk)
Lower values = lower volatility (calmer market)
2. Volatility Trend Analysis
The indicator automatically detects whether volatility is rising, falling, or stable:
Up arrow (↑) - volatility is rising (price becomes more "nervous")
Down arrow (↓) - volatility is falling (market is calming down)
Horizontal arrow (⮆) - volatility is stable (within ±3% of the moving average)
3. Information Table
In the upper right corner of the chart you will see Current ATR% value and Trend arrow with color coding:
- Green = rising volatility
- Red = falling volatility
- Gray = stable volatility
Parameters to Configure
Indicator Length (default: 14) - How many candles back to include in calculations:
Lower values (5-10): more sensitive to sudden changes, reacts faster
Higher values (20-30): more smoothed, shows long-term volatility picture
Trend Length (default: 10) - Period to analyze whether volatility is rising/falling:
Lower values: faster trend change signals
Higher values: more reliable, but slower signals
Sample Interpretations
ATR% Volatility Asset Type/Situation
< 1% Very low Stable blue-chip stocks, calm market
1-3% Low-medium Typical stocks, normal conditions
3-5% Medium-high Volatile stocks, cryptocurrencies at rest
5-10% High Cryptocurrencies, penny stocks
> 10% Extremely high Market panic, crash, pump & dump Indicator
NQ Position Size CalculatorNQ Position Size Line Calculator is designed specifically for Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ) and micro futures (MNQ) traders who want to maintain disciplined risk management. This visual tool eliminates the guesswork from position sizing by displaying distance lines and contract calculations directly on your chart.
The indicator creates horizontal lines at 10-tick intervals from your stop loss level, showing you exactly how many contracts to trade at each distance to maintain your predetermined risk amount. Whether you're trading regular NQ contracts or micro MNQ contracts, this calculator ensures you never risk more than intended while providing instant visual feedback for optimal position sizing decisions.
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Configure Your Settings
Stop Loss Price: Enter your exact stop loss level (e.g., 20000.00)
Risk Amount ($): Set your maximum dollar risk per trade (e.g., $500)
Contract Type: Choose between:
NQ (Regular): $5 per tick - for larger accounts
MNQ (Micro): $0.50 per tick - for smaller accounts or conservative sizing
Display Options:
Max Lines: Number of distance lines to show (default: 30)
Show Labels: Toggle tick distance and contract count labels
Line Color: Customize the color of distance lines
Label Size: Choose tiny, small, or normal label sizes
Step 2: Read the Visual Display
Once configured, the indicator displays:
Stop Loss Line:
Thick yellow line marking your exact stop loss level
Yellow label showing the stop loss price
Distance Lines:
Dashed red lines at 10-tick intervals above and below your stop loss
Lines appear on both sides for long and short position planning
Labels (if enabled):
Green labels (right side): For long positions above your stop loss
Red labels (left side): For short positions below your stop loss
Format: "20T 5x" means 20 ticks distance, 5 contracts maximum
Step 3: Use the Information Tables
The indicator provides two helpful tables:
Position Size Table (top-right):
Shows common tick distances (10, 20, 40, 80, 160 ticks)
Displays risk per contract at each distance
Contract count for your specified risk amount
Total risk with rounded contract numbers
Settings Table (bottom-right):
Confirms your current risk amount
Shows selected contract type
Displays current settings for quick reference
Step 4: Apply to Your Trading
For Long Positions:
Look at the green labels on the right side of your chart
Find your desired entry level
Read the label to see: distance in ticks and maximum contracts
Example: "30T 8x" = 30 ticks from stop, buy 8 contracts maximum
For Short Positions:
Look at the red labels on the left side of your chart
Find your desired entry level
Read the label for tick distance and contract count
Example: "40T 6x" = 40 ticks from stop, sell 6 contracts maximum
Step 5: Trading Execution
Before Entering a Trade:
Identify your stop loss level and input it into the indicator
Choose your entry point by looking at the distance lines
Note the contract count from the corresponding label
Verify the risk amount matches your trading plan
Execute your trade with the calculated position size
Risk Management Features:
Contract rounding: All position sizes are rounded down (never up) to ensure you don't exceed your risk limit
Zero position filtering: Lines only show where position size is at least 1 contract
Dual-sided display: Plan both long and short opportunities simultaneously
Indicator
NQ/MNQ Position Sizing
Despite having my own position sizing calculator in an excel sheet, the manual process of having to identify my next trade, switch tabs/screens, input my values into the sheet, go back into TV, input the trade parameters with appropriate contract sizing, has always really gotten to me. I also found that I would often miss ideal entries due to the delay this caused.
I searched TV for position sizing calculators but almost all the ones I found seemed to be similar: based on some form of manual input for the entry and stop parameters, many of which had way more settings and parameters than I needed, also over complicated things.
I just needed something that would allow me to dynamically set my entry and stop levels directly on the chart, and spit out the appropriate contracts I should be using, either on NQ or MNQ, to maintain my desired level of risk, so I could quickly execute the necessary trade.
So, I coded my own and it's been a huge help to me already, so I thought I may as well publish the script as can't imagine there aren't others out there that also hate the manual data entry process of calculating risk.
Upon first load, the script will ask you to set your Entry and Stop levels, before drawing respective lines for these on the chart, and calculating contract sizing based on your risk settings, which you can update directly. The reset values may be buggy, will be easier to just remove the script and re-apply it to your chart if you ever lose track of the levels you've set.
Hope it's useful. Indicator

ATR Bands with ATR Cross + InfoTableOverview
This Pine Script™ indicator is designed to enhance traders' ability to analyze market volatility, trend direction, and position sizing directly on their TradingView charts. By plotting Average True Range (ATR) bands anchored at the OHLC4 price, displaying crossover labels, and providing a comprehensive information table, this tool offers a multifaceted approach to technical analysis.
Key Features:
ATR Bands Anchored at OHLC4: Visual representation of short-term and long-term volatility bands centered around the average price.
OHLC4 Dotted Line: A dotted line representing the average of Open, High, Low, and Close prices.
ATR Cross Labels: Visual cues indicating when short-term volatility exceeds long-term volatility and vice versa.
Information Table: Displays real-time data on market volatility, calculated position size based on risk parameters, and trend direction relative to the 20-period Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA).
Purpose
The primary purpose of this indicator is to:
Assess Market Volatility: By comparing short-term and long-term ATR values, traders can gauge the current volatility environment.
Determine Optimal Position Sizing: A calculated position size based on user-defined risk parameters helps in effective risk management.
Identify Trend Direction: Comparing the current price to the 20-period SMMA assists in determining the prevailing market trend.
Enhance Decision-Making: Visual cues and real-time data enable traders to make informed trading decisions with greater confidence.
How It Works
1. ATR Bands Anchored at OHLC4
Average True Range (ATR) Calculations
Short-Term ATR (SA): Calculated over a 9-period using ta.atr(9).
Long-Term ATR (LA): Calculated over a 21-period using ta.atr(21).
Plotting the Bands
OHLC4 Dotted Line: Plotted using small circles to simulate a dotted line due to Pine Script limitations.
ATR(9) Bands: Plotted in blue with semi-transparent shading.
ATR(21) Bands: Plotted in orange with semi-transparent shading.
Overlap: Bands can overlap, providing visual insights into changes in volatility.
2. ATR Cross Labels
Crossover Detection:
SA > LA: Indicates increasing short-term volatility.
Detected using ta.crossover(SA, LA).
A green upward label "SA>LA" is plotted below the bar.
SA < LA: Indicates decreasing short-term volatility.
Detected using ta.crossunder(SA, LA).
A red downward label "SA LA, then the market is considered volatile.
Display: Shows "Yes" or "No" based on the comparison.
b. Position Size Calculation
Risk Total Amount: User-defined input representing the total capital at risk.
Risk per 1 Stock: User-defined input representing the risk associated with one unit of the asset.
Purpose: Helps traders determine the appropriate position size based on their risk tolerance and current market volatility.
c. Is Price > 20 SMMA?
SMMA Calculation:
Calculated using a 20-period Smoothed Moving Average with ta.rma(close, 20).
Logic: If the current close price is above the SMMA, the trend is considered upward.
Display: Shows "Yes" or "No" based on the comparison.
How to Use
Step 1: Add the Indicator to Your Chart
Copy the Script: Copy the entire Pine Script code into the TradingView Pine Editor.
Save and Apply: Save the script and click "Add to Chart."
Step 2: Configure Inputs
Risk Parameters: Adjust the "Risk Total Amount" and "Risk per 1 Stock" in the indicator settings to match your personal risk management strategy.
Step 3: Interpret the Visuals
ATR Bands
Width of Bands: Wider bands indicate higher volatility; narrower bands indicate lower volatility.
Band Overlap: Pay attention to areas where the blue and orange bands diverge or converge.
OHLC4 Dotted Line
Serves as a central reference point for the ATR bands.
Helps visualize the average price around which volatility is measured.
ATR Cross Labels
"SA>LA" Label:
Indicates short-term volatility is increasing relative to long-term volatility.
May signal potential breakout or trend acceleration.
"SA 20 SMMA?
Use this to confirm trend direction before entering or exiting trades.
Practical Example
Imagine you are analyzing a stock and notice the following:
ATR(9) Crosses Above ATR(21):
A green "SA>LA" label appears.
The info table shows "Yes" for "Is ATR-based price volatile."
Position Size:
Based on your risk parameters, the position size is calculated.
Price Above 20 SMMA:
The info table shows "Yes" for "Is price > 20 SMMA."
Interpretation:
The market is experiencing increasing short-term volatility.
The trend is upward, as the price is above the 20 SMMA.
You may consider entering a long position, using the calculated position size to manage risk.
Customization
Colors and Transparency:
Adjust the colors of the bands and labels to suit your preferences.
Risk Parameters:
Modify the default values for risk amounts in the inputs.
Moving Average Period:
Change the SMMA period if desired.
Limitations and Considerations
Lagging Indicators: ATR and SMMA are lagging indicators and may not predict future price movements.
Market Conditions: The effectiveness of this indicator may vary across different assets and market conditions.
Risk of Overfitting: Relying solely on this indicator without considering other factors may lead to suboptimal trading decisions.
Conclusion
This indicator combines essential elements of technical analysis to provide a comprehensive tool for traders. By visualizing ATR bands anchored at the OHLC4, indicating volatility crossovers, and providing real-time data on position sizing and trend direction, it aids in making informed trading decisions.
Whether you're a novice trader looking to understand market volatility or an experienced trader seeking to refine your strategy, this indicator offers valuable insights directly on your TradingView charts.
