How to Use and Adjust the ATR Stop-Loss & Risk Manager Indicator in TradingView The ATR Stop-Loss & Risk Manager indicator is designed to help traders visualize Average True Range (ATR)-based stop-loss levels and assess risk. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it and adjust its settings.
Adding the Indicator to Your Chart Open TradingView and select your desired chart and time frame. Click on the Pine Editor at the bottom of the screen. Paste the provided script into the editor and click Add to Chart. Once added, the indicator will appear on your chart with ATR values, stop-loss levels, and a risk table. Indicator Outputs ATR Line: A line representing the Average True Range (ATR) value, providing a measure of market volatility. Stop-Loss Levels: Stop Loss High: A green line above the current price, representing the suggested stop-loss level for long positions. Stop Loss Low: A red line below the current price, representing the suggested stop-loss level for short positions. Risk Table: Displays the ATR value multiplied by a user-defined risk multiplier in a table on the chart. Configuring the Settings To customize the indicator for your trading strategy, click the gear icon next to the indicator’s name in the Indicators pane.
1. ATR Settings ATR Period: Adjust the number of bars used to calculate the ATR. Common values include 14 (default) or 20. Shorter periods respond faster to price changes, while longer periods smooth volatility. Smoothing Method: Choose between RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for the ATR calculation: RMA (default): A variation of the moving average commonly used in ATR. SMA: Simple Moving Average, giving equal weight to all bars in the calculation. EMA: Exponential Moving Average, which gives more weight to recent bars. WMA: Weighted Moving Average, emphasizing recent prices linearly. 2. Multipliers ATR Multiplier for Table: Adjust this to scale the ATR value displayed in the table. For example: Set it to 1.0 to display the exact ATR. Increase or decrease it to align with your risk tolerance. Stop Loss Multiplier: Adjust this to change how far the stop-loss levels are plotted from the current price. For example: Use 1.5 (default) for moderate levels. Increase for wider stops or decrease for tighter stops. 3. Table Customization Table Position: Select where the table appears on the chart: Top Right (default), Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, or Middle Left. Border Color: Choose the border color for the table. Background Color: Set the table's background color. Text Color: Customize the table text color for better visibility. 4. Visualization Stop-Loss High and Low Lines: Use these lines to determine potential stop-loss levels for your trades based on the ATR and stop-loss multiplier. Green for Stop Loss High (long positions). Red for Stop Loss Low (short positions). Practical Use Cases Volatility-Based Stop Losses:
Use the stop-loss lines to set dynamic stop-loss levels based on market volatility. Adjust the multipliers to match your trading style: Tight stops for scalping or day trading. Wider stops for swing or position trading. Risk Assessment:
Use the ATR value in the table to gauge market volatility before entering trades. Higher ATR values indicate more volatile markets, requiring wider stops. Position Sizing:
Incorporate the ATR value into your position-sizing strategy. For example: Divide your account risk (e.g., 1% of equity) by the ATR to calculate position size.
