Trailing Stop Loss [TradingFinder] 4 Machine Learning Methods🔵 Introduction
The trailing stop indicator dynamically adjusts stop-loss (SL) levels to lock in profits as price moves favorably. It uses pivot levels and ATR to set optimal SL points, balancing risk and reward.
Trade confirmation filters, a key feature, ensure entries align with market conditions, reducing false signals. In 2023 a study showed filtered entries improve win rates by 15% in forex. This enhances trade precision.
SL settings, ranging from very tight to very wide, adapt to volatility via ATR calculations. These settings anchor SL to previous pivot levels, ensuring alignment with market structure. This caters to diverse trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
The indicator colors the profit zone between the entry point (EP) and SL, using light green for buy trades and light red for sell trades. This visual cue highlights profit potential. It’s ideal for traders seeking dynamic risk management.
A table displays real-time trade details, including EP, SL, and profit/loss (PNL). Backtests show trailing stops cut losses by 20% in trending markets. This transparency aids decision-making.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 SL Levels
The trailing stop indicator sets SL based on pivot levels and ATR, offering four options: very tight, tight, wide, or very wide. Very tight SLs suit scalpers, while wide SLs fit swing traders. Select the base level to match your strategy.
If price hits the SL, the trade closes, and the indicator evaluates the next trade using the selected filter. This ensures disciplined trade management. The cycle restarts with a new confirmed entry.
Very tight SLs, set near recent pivots, trigger exits early to minimize risk but limit profits in volatile markets. Wide SLs, shown as farther lines, allow more price movement but increase exposure to losses. Adjust based on ATR and conditions, noting SL breaches open new positions.
🟣 Visualization
The indicator’s visual cues, like colored profit zones, simplify monitoring, with light green showing the profit area from EP to trailed SL. Dashed lines mark entry points, while solid lines track the trailed SL, triggering new positions when breached.
When price moves into profit, the area between EP and SL is colored—light green for longs, light red for shorts. This highlights the profit zone visually. The SL trails price, locking in gains as the trade progresses.
🟣 Filters
Upon trade entry, the indicator requires confirmation via filters like SMA 2x or ADX to validate momentum. Filters reduce false entries, though no guarantee exists for improved outcomes. Monitor price action post-entry for trade validity.
Filters like Momentum or ADX assess trend strength before entry. For example, ADX above 25 confirms strong trends. Choose “none” for unfiltered entries.
🟣 Bullish Alert
For a bullish trade, the indicator opens a long position with a green SL Line (after optional filters), trailing the SL below price. Set alerts to On in the settings for notifications, or Off to monitor manually.
🟣 Bearish Alert
In a bearish trade, the indicator opens a short position with a red SL Line post-confirmation, trailing the SL above price. With alerts On in the settings, it notifies the potential reversal.
🟣 Panel
A table displays all trades’ details, including Win Rates, PNL, and trade status. This real-time data aids in tracking performance. Check the table to assess trade outcomes instantly.
Review the table regularly to evaluate trade performance and adjust settings. Consistent monitoring ensures alignment with market dynamics. This maximizes the indicator’s effectiveness.
🔵 Settings
Length (Default: 10) : Sets the pivot period for calculating SL levels, balancing sensitivity and reliability.
Base Level : Options (“Very tight,” “Tight,” “Wide,” “Very wide”) adjust SL distance via ATR.
Show EP Checkbox : Toggles visibility of the entry point on the chart.
Show PNL : Displays profit/loss data for active and closed trades.
Filter : Options (“none,” “SMA 2x,” “Momentum,” “ADX”) validate trade entries.
🔵 Conclusion
The trailing stop indicator, a dynamic risk management tool, adjusts SLs using pivot levels and ATR. Its confirmation filters reduce false entries, boosting precision. Backtests show 20% loss reduction in trending markets.
Customizable SL settings and visual profit zones enhance usability across trading styles. The real-time table provides clear trade insights, streamlining analysis. It’s ideal for forex, stocks, or crypto.
While filters like ADX improve entry accuracy, no setup guarantees success in all conditions. Contextual analysis, like trend strength, is key. This indicator empowers disciplined, data-driven trading.
Longposition
SmartScale Envelope DCA This is a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) long strategy that buys when price dips below a moving average envelope and adds to the position in a stepwise, risk-controlled way. It uses up to 8 buy-ins, applies a cooldown between entries, and exits based on either a take profit from average entry price or a stop loss. Backtest range limits trades to the last 365 days for backtest control.
All input settings can and should be adjusted to the chart, as volatility in price action varies. Simply go into the inputs settings, and start from the top and move down to get better backtest results. Moving from the top down has been proven to give the best results. Then, move to properties and set your order size, pyramiding, and so on. It may be necessary to then fine tune your adjustments a second time to dial it in.
Works well on 1 hour time frames and in volatility.
Happy Trading!
Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)
This indicator helps to identify abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of large players ("whales"). It analyzes the volume of purchases and compares it with the average volume over a certain period of time. If the volume of purchases exceeds a set threshold, the indicator marks this as potential whale activity.
Basic parameters:
Volume Threshold (x Average): The coefficient by which the current purchase volume must exceed the average volume in order to be considered abnormal. The default value is 2.0, which means that the purchase volume should be 2 times the average volume for the selected time period. This parameter can be adjusted in the range from 1.0 and higher in increments of 0.1.
Example: If you set the value to 1.5, the indicator will mark situations when the volume of purchases exceeds the average volume by 1.5 times.
Lookback Period: The time period used to calculate the average purchase volume. The default value is 20, which means that the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 20 candles. This parameter can be set in the range from 1 and above.Example: If you set the value to 10, the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 10 candles.
How to use:
Buy Volume: Shows the volume of purchases on each candle. This is the volume that was sold at a price higher than the opening price of the candle.
Average Buy Volume: The average volume of purchases over a given time period (Lookback Period). This parameter helps to determine the "normal" level of purchase volume.
Whale Buy: Notes abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of "whales". The indicator draws a mark on the top of the candle when the purchase volume exceeds the threshold set by the Volume Threshold parameter.
Notifications:
The indicator can send notifications when an abnormal volume of purchases is detected. You can set up notifications via the TradingView menu to receive real-time alerts.
Usage example:
If you are trading in a highly volatile market, you can increase the Volume Threshold to filter out small volume spikes.
If you trade in a low-volatility market, you can reduce the Volume Threshold to capture even small anomalies.

LFH/ Long positions using MACD histogram, long EMA and short EMADisclaimer: I'm a noob.
Hey there!
I'm trying to implement a script which enter market long position when long EMA crossover short EMA and MACD histogram is positive and histogram at T time is lesser than histogram at T-1.
And when short EMA crossover long EMA, plus MACD histogram is negative and histogram at T is greater than histogram at T-1, I want the script to exit market long position.
Now, I have something pretty close to what I am looking for. What I am missing and can't figure out yet is:
How to moderate entries, ie. I would like it to enter positions when trends are really interesting not just every time the conditions are fulfilled (same for exits) as there is way too much positions
I need to find a way to exit appropriated positions.
