Modified Gann HiLo ActivatorIntroduction
The gann hilo activator is a trend indicator developed by Robert Krausz published into W. D. Gann Treasure Discovered: Simple Trading Plans for Stocks & Commodities . This indicator crate a trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend.
This indicator is fairly easy to compute and dont require lot of skills to understand. First we calculate the simple moving average of both price high and price low, when the close price is higher than the moving average of the price high the indicator return the moving average of the price low, else the indicator return the moving average of the price high if the close price is lower than the moving average of the price low.
My indicator add a different calculation method in order to avoid whipsaw trades as well as adding significance to the moving average length. A Median method has been added to provide more robustness.
The Indicator
The indicator is a simple trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend. The indicator use a different source instead of the price high/low for its calculation. The first method is the "SMA" method which like the classic hilo indicator use a simple moving average for the calculation of the indicator.
Sma Method with length = 25
The "Median" use a moving median instead of a simple moving average, this provide more robustness.
Median Method with length = 25
The shape is less curved and the indicator can sometimes avoid whipsaw with high's length periods.
Mult Parameter
The mult parameter is a parameter set to be lower or equal to 1 and greater or equal to 0. High values allow the indicator to be far from the price thus avoiding whipsaw trades, lower ones lower the distance from the price. A mult parameter of 0.1 approximate the original hilo indicator.
In blue the indicator with mult = 0.1 and in radical red the original hilo activator.
Conclusion
The modifications allow more control over the indicator as well as adding more robustness while the original one is destined to fail when market price is more complex.

Chandelier ExitThis is a redesign of the Chandelier Exit indicator. It removes stupid transitions between Chandelier Exit' states and highlights initial points for both lines.
This indicator was originally developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder in his book "Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading" (2002).
In short, this is a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).

Chandelier Exit V2 by fr3762 KIVANÇChandelier Exit Version 2 with two lines Long Stop and Short Stop
There is a Chandelier exit for long positions and one for short positions. The Chandelier Exit (long) hangs three ATR values below the 22-period high. This means it rises and falls as the period high and the ATR value changes. The Chandelier Exit for short positions is placed three ATR values above the 22-period low. The spreadsheet examples show sample calculations for both.
According to the theory, traders should exit long positions at either the highest high since entry minus 3 ATRs .
Similarly traders should exit short positions at either the lowest low since entry plus 3 ATRs .
Developed by Charles Le Beau and featured in Alexander Elder's books, the Chandelier Exit sets a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator is designed to keep traders in a trend and prevent an early exit as long as the trend extends. Typically, the Chandelier Exit will be above prices during a downtrend and below prices during an uptrend.
The author, Chuck LeBeau explains: It lets "... profits run in the direction of a trend while still offering some protection against any reversal in trend."
The exit stop is placed at a multiple of average true ranges from the highest high or highest close since the entry of the trade.
Chandelier Exit will rise instantly whenever new highs are reached. As the highs get higher the stop moves up but it never moves downward.
The Chandelier Exit is mostly used to set a trailing stop-loss during a trend. Trends sometimes extend further than we anticipate and the Chandelier Exit can help traders ride the trend a little longer. Even though it is mostly used for stop-losses, the Chandelier Exit can also be used as a trend tool. A break above the Chandelier Exit (long) signals strength, while a break below the Chandelier Exit (short) signals weakness. Once a new trend begins, chartists can then use the corresponding Chandelier Exit to help define this trend.

Binque's Stop Loss IndicatorBinque's Stop Loss Indicator is a great way to visualize a trailing stop loss based on a percent from the high. i.e. If the high was $10 of a trading day and your stop loss was set at 5% (percent) then your chart would show a small dot 5% below the high of the day. This is a great way to quickly see a trailing stock idea. Change the color to match your back ground. Adjust your trailing stop loss to fit your trading style.
Note: This indicator is calculated off of the daily high.
DayLow - Chart the Moving Average of the DAILY LOW PriceThis is a moving average of the Daily LOW Price over a short period of time (i.e. 3 day low moving average, etc...) Great for tracking trailing stops for a stock on an up swing.
Moving Average Cross and/or Bbands botHello TradingView and world!
This is one of our latest concepts for an actual bot builder. This script comes with a bunch of features that we're hoping will alleviate a lot of the stress and confusion around using and building strategies here on TV. Especially if the end-goal is to automate the strategies using Autoview.
This is a combination of 2 strategies, and gives you full control of each component within the script.
The 2 strategies are:
2 Moving Averages == if close is greater than moving average and moving average 1 is greater than moving average 2
Bolling Bands == if close is less than lower or greater than upper
Features / Settings included :
- Ability to change settings from a commodity market (default) to an altcoin or forex market.
- Backtest time period selector component
- Heiken Ashi Candles on/off
- Moving Average Strategy on/off
- Bollinger Bands Strategy on/off
- Both Moving Average settings can be adjusted
- Bollinger Bands length and multiplier can be adjusted.
- Pyramiding Greater Than, Equal To, or Less Than
- Trailing Stop with the ability to set a price in which the Trailing Stop activate
- Take Profit on/off and editable
- Stop Loss on/off and editable
- Margin Call on/off dependent on Leverage which is editable
- If pyramiding is used, the strategy will calculate and display your average on the chart
- Profit and Loss visuals added to the chart
You can watch a video here on how all the settings can be used and work together.

Strategy Code Example - Risk Management*** THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF STRATEGY RISK MANAGEMENT CODE IMPLEMENTATION ***
For my own future reference, and for anyone else who needs it.
Pine script strategy code can be confusing and awkward, so I finally sat down and had a little think about it and put something together that actually works (i think...)
Code is commented where I felt might be necessary (pretty much everything..) and covers:
Take Profit
Stop Loss
Trailing Stop
Trailing Stop Offset
...and details how to handle the input values for these in a way that allows them to be disabled if set to 0, without breaking the strategy.exit functionality or requiring a silly amount of statement nesting.
Also shows how to use functions (or variables/series) to execute trade entries and exits.
Cheers!
CapnsSurferThis is a simple RMA Trend that may help you decide for SL or TP. Similar to CapnsBands this uses Donchian Channels.. but remember. Your Trade Your Money

First of all this is NOT a BUY or SELL indicator. However with this you can define sweet spots for ENTRIES, or TRAILING STOPS and recognize the trend.
Sweetspots
Ichimoku-Hausky Trading systemThis is a indicator with some parts of the ichimoku and EMA. It's my first script so i have used other peoples script (Chris Moody and DavidR) as reference cause I really have no idea myself on how to script with pinescript.
Hope that is okay!
I use 20M timeframe but it should work with any timeframe! I have not tested this system much so I would really appreciate feedback and tips for better entries, settings etc..
Tenken-sen: green line
Kijun-sen: blue line
EMA: Purple
Rules:
Buy:
IF price crosses or bounce above Kijun-sen
THEN see if market has closed above EMA
IF Market has closed above EMA
THEN see if EMA is above Kijun-sen
IF EMA is above Kijun-sen
THEN buy and set trailing stop 5 pips below EMA
Sell:
IF price crosses or bounce below Kijun-sen
THEN see if market has closed below EMA
IF Market has closed below EMA
THEN see if EMA is below Kijun-sen
IF EMA is below Kijun-sen
THEN sell and set trailing stop 5 pips above EMA

SuperTrend BFThe SuperTrend overlay by Olivier Seban provides an excellent 'trailing stop' that can be used with any bar length for bullish or bearish moves. My preferred timeframe is weekly for capturing huge (Super) moves. For instance applying it to AAPL, this baby would have us reeling in a fivebagger over the course of three years. Patience and holding your nerve are key to trend following and I like to think of SuperTrend as a great big visual 'crutch' right there on the chart.
Essentially this is an average true range trailing stop, of which there are several versions available (eg see the Sylvain Vervoort version programmed by H Potter). SuperTrend differs by referring the stop back from the middle of the bar (High+Low)/2. This is similar to using the Vervoort with a tweak to the number of ATR's considered. At the end of the day its a matter of preference and what works best for you.

40 SMA Scaling StrategyThis trend-following strategy focuses on capturing momentum when price breaks above the 40-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) while utilizing a systematic scale-out (Take Profit) approach to lock in gains during extended runs.
Strategy Logic
Entry: Opens a Long position with 100% of current equity when the price closes above the 40 SMA. This ensures maximum capital efficiency at the start of a new perceived trend.
Scaling Take Profits: To reduce risk as the trade progresses, the strategy automatically closes 25% of the initial position for every 1% increase in price from the entry point.
Exit: The entire remaining position is closed immediately if the price closes below the 40 SMA, acting as a trailing stop that adapts to the moving average.
Key Features
Capital-Efficient: Starts with a full account allocation to maximize exposure to the initial breakout.
Systematic De-risking: By scaling out in 25% increments, the strategy banks profits early while leaving a portion of the trade active for potential "moon shots."
Trend-Following Exit: Uses a classic SMA filter to exit, aiming to stay in the trade as long as the medium-term trend remains bullish.

Proactive Execution MachineProactive Execution Machine: Multi-State Momentum Engine
Overview
The Proactive Execution Machine is a comprehensive trading workspace designed to filter market noise and highlight high-probability execution windows. It combines Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones, Manual Level Proximity, and a proprietary Dual-Candle Momentum Scoring system to categorize the market into specific "States" in real-time.
Instead of a simple arrow, this script provides a System Status dashboard that tells you exactly what phase the market is in—whether it's "Level Absorption," a "Demand Vortex," or a "Tired Trend. "Core Components
1. The Momentum Gauge (Bottom Left)
This table provides a deep-dive into order flow by scoring the last two candles based on:
Close Location: Where price closed relative to its range (Upper, Middle, Lower).
Body-to-Wick Ratio: Measuring the "effort vs. result" of the move.
Range Relativity: Whether the current bar is an "Inside" or "Outside" bar relative to the previous candle.
Slope (Linear Regression): A real-time trendline of momentum strength to see if conviction is accelerating or decelerating.
2. Dynamic State Engine The script automatically identifies and colors the chart into three primary zones:
Supply Zone (Red): The upper 30% of the recent price discovery range.
Demand Zone (Green): The lower 30% of the recent price discovery range.
Proximity Zones: When price nears your Manual Levels (PDH, PDL, NY Open, etc.), the engine switches priority to monitor for "Breakouts" or "Level Attacks."
3. System Status (Bottom Right)The dynamic HUD changes size and color based on conviction levels. It will notify you of specific market conditions:
Supply/Demand Overrun: When momentum is so strong it is smashing through reversal zones. Level Absorption/Stalling: When price reaches a key level but momentum has "flattened," suggesting a potential reversal or high-volume churn.
Buy/Sell Now: High-conviction signals triggered only when Location (Zone) and Momentum (Score) align.
How to Trade with the "Machine"
For Trend Followers: Look for the status "TREND (ACTIVE)" combined with a Momentum Score of $\pm 4$ or higher.
For Reversion Traders: Watch for "WATCH LONGS/SHORTS" when price enters a Supply or Demand zone. Wait for the status to flip to "BUY/SELL NOW" as momentum begins to shift back toward the mean.
For Level Traders: Input your daily levels (VAH, VAL, POC) in the settings. The machine will automatically prioritize these levels, changing status to "AT LEVEL" the moment price enters your specified proximity.
Key Settings
Manual Levels: Input up to 5 custom price levels for the proximity engine.
Proximity Sensitivity: Adjust how close price must be to a level (in points/pips) to trigger an "At Level" state.
Aggression (1-5): Tuning the pivot detection. Lower numbers respond faster to micro-structure; higher numbers focus on major swing points.
Visual Coding
Candle bodies are colored to assist with single candle pattern detection:
Lime/Pink Bar Highlights: The script uses a custom color engine to highlight "Shaved" (Marubozu) bars.
Lime indicates aggressive bullish conviction, while Pink (Fuchsia) highlights aggressive bearish conviction.
Green indicates bull engulfing candle
Red indicates bear engulfing candle
Orange is an outside bar
Yellow an inside bar
Gray a Doji bar
Black all other bars
Dynamic Zones: The chart features two primary background areas:
Red Zone (Top): The Supply Zone, identifying where sellers historically reclaim control.
Green Zone (Bottom): The Demand Zone, identifying where buyers historically step in.
System Status HUD (Bottom Right): This is the "brain" of the machine. The text size is adjusted to attract the trader's attention when the slope of the momentum increases above 5 (bullish expansion) or greater than - 5 (Bearish expansion). The system status changes color based on the market state too:
HUD Coloring:
Aqua: Active Bullish Trend.
Gray: Bull trend tired.
Orange: Active Bearish Trend.
Gray: Bear trend tired.
Red: For sell now.
Green: For buy now.
Lime: Bull price level under attack.
Marron: Bear price level under attack.
Gray: Price level absorption.
Yellow: Price at level and stalling.
Maroon: An "Overrun" or "Vortex" where price is smashing through supply/demand with extreme momentum.
The text size serves as a "Volatility Alarm." * When the text is Small, the market is in a "sideways" or "absorbing" state. You should be cautious about entering new trend trades.
When the text is Large, the Machine has detected that "Aggressive" participants have entered the order flow. This is your cue that a "Level Attack" or a "Trend Breakout" is currently in progress.
The 1-Minute Tactical Setup Guide:
Proactive Execution Machine Operating on the 1-minute (1m) timeframe requires a balance between speed and noise filtration. Because the Proactive Execution Machine uses a "State Engine" logic, it is uniquely suited for the high-velocity environment of the NY Open.
I follow these three tactical steps to optimize the chart for the 1m timeframe:
Step 1: Calibrate the "Proximity Sensitivity" On a 1m chart, a "Level" isn't a single price—it's a zone.
Adjustment: In the script settings, set your Proximity Sensitivity to a value that represents the average "noise" of your instrument.
For ES (S&P 500 Futures): 1.5 to 2.5 points.
For NQ (Nasdaq Futures): 5 to 10 points.
For Forex (EURUSD): 1 to 2 pips.
The Goal: You want the "AT LEVEL" status to trigger just as price is "sniffing" the level, giving you time to prepare your order before the touch.
Step 2: Watch the "History" Column in the Momentum Gauge
The bottom-left table is your most important tool for the 1m chart. It shows you the momentum of the last three bars ($T-0$, $T-1$, $T-2$).
Momentum Sequence: Look for a "Sequence of Three." If you see $T-2$ (Neutral), $T-1$ (Long), and $T-0$ (STR Long), you have a momentum explosion.
The Trap: If you see STR LONG followed immediately by a NEUTRAL bar while in a Supply Zone, the "Machine" will shift to "SUPPLY STALLING." This is your signal to tighten your trailing stop or take profit—it means the bulls are hitting a wall of sell orders.
Step 3: The "Level Attack" Execution
The script features a unique state called "LEVEL ATTACK." This is designed specifically for breakout/breakdown traders.
The Setup: Price is approaching a Manual Level (like the NY Open or PDH).
The Signal: If the status changes to "LEVEL ATTACK (BULL)," it means the momentum score is high ($>3$) and the slope is positive while within the proximity of the level.
The Action: This is a "Proactive" entry. Instead of waiting for the candle to close above the level, you are entering as the "Machine" detects institutional pressure "attacking" the level.
Daily Routine for the "Machine"
1) 09:25 AM: Input your 5 manual levels (PDH, PDL, NY Open, VAH, VAL).
2) 09:30 AM: Wait for the first 5 minutes of volatility to settle.
3) The Window: Look for the System Status to move from "IDLE" to a colored state.
4) The Trigger: Never take a signal if the Momentum Gauge is in the "Neutral" (Yellow) zone. Only execute when the gauge shows LONG/SHORT or STR LONG/STR SHORT.
