Atrindicator — Indicators and Strategies

ATR % Line from LoD/HoD ATR % Line Trading Indicator - Entry Filter Tool This Pine Script creates a sophisticated ATR (Average True Range) percentage-based entry filter indicator for TradingView that helps traders avoid buying overextended stocks and identify optimal entry zones based on volatility. Core Functionality - Entry Discipline The script calculates a maximum entry threshold by taking a percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) and projecting it from the current day's low. This creates a dynamic "no-buy zone" that adapts to market volatility, helping traders avoid purchasing stocks that have already moved too far from their daily base. Key Calculation: Measures the ATR over a specified period (default: 14 bars) Takes a user-defined percentage of that ATR (default: 25%) Projects this distance from the day's low to establish a maximum entry threshold Entry Rule: Avoid buying when price exceeds this ATR% level from the daily low or high. Visual Features Entry Threshold Line: Draws a horizontal line at the calculated maximum entry level Line extends forward for clear visualization of the "no-buy zone" Red zones above this line indicate overextended conditions Fully customizable appearance with color, width, and style options Smart Entry Alerts: Optional labels show the ATR percentage threshold and exact price level Visual confirmation when stocks are trading in acceptable entry zones vs. extended areas Real-Time Monitoring Table: Displays current distance from daily low as ATR percentage Shows whether current price is in "safe entry zone" or "extended territory" Customizable display options for clean chart analysis Practical Applications for Entry Management Avoiding Extended Entries: Primary Use: Don't initiate long positions when price is more than X% ATR from the daily low Prevents buying stocks that have already made their daily move Reduces risk of buying at temporary tops within the trading session Entry Zone Identification: Price trading below the ATR% line = potential entry opportunity Price trading above the ATR% line = wait for pullback or skip the trade Combines volatility analysis with momentum discipline Risk Management Benefits: Improved Entry Timing: Enter closer to daily support levels Better Risk/Reward: Shorter distance to stop loss (daily low) Reduced Chasing: Systematic approach prevents FOMO-driven entries Volatility Awareness: Higher volatility stocks get wider acceptable entry ranges Configuration for Entry Filtering Key Settings for Entry Management: ATR Percentage: Set your maximum acceptable extension (15-30% common for day trading) Reference Point: Use "Low" to measure extension from daily base Line Style: Make highly visible to clearly see entry threshold Alert Integration: Visual confirmation of entry-friendly zones Typical Usage Scenarios: Conservative Entries: 15-20% ATR from daily low Moderate Extensions: 25-35% ATR for stronger momentum plays Aggressive Setups: 40%+ ATR for breakout situations (use with caution) Entry Strategy Integration Pre-Market Planning: Set ATR% threshold based on stock's typical volatility Identify key levels where entries become unfavorable Plan alternative entry strategies for extended stocks Intraday Execution: Monitor real-time ATR% extension from daily low Avoid new long positions when threshold is exceeded Wait for pullbacks to re-enter acceptable entry zones This tool transforms volatility analysis into practical entry discipline, helping traders maintain consistent entry standards and avoid the costly mistake of chasing overextended stocks. By respecting ATR-based extension limits, traders can improve their entry timing and overall trade profitability.

ATR Plots + Overlay ATR Plots + Overlay This tool calculates and displays Average True Range (ATR)-based levels on your chart for any selected timeframe, giving traders a quick visual reference for expected price movement relative to the most recent bar’s open price. It plots guide levels above and below that open and shows how much of the typical ATR-based range has already been covered—all in one interactive table and on-chart overlay. What It Does ATR Calculation: Uses true range data over a user-defined period (default 14), smoothed via RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA, on the selected timeframe (e.g., 1h, 4h, daily) to calculate the ATR value. Projected Levels: Plots four reference levels relative to the open price of the most recent bar on the chosen timeframe: +100% ATR: Open + ATR +50% ATR: Open + 50% of ATR −50% ATR: Open − 50% of ATR −100% ATR: Open − ATR Coverage %: Tracks high and low prices for the current session on the selected timeframe and calculates what percentage of the ATR has already been covered: Coverage % = (High − Low) ÷ ATR × 100 Interactive Table: Shows the ATR value and current coverage percentage in a customizable table overlay. Position, color scheme, borders, transparency, and an optional empty top row are all adjustable via settings. Customization Options Table Settings: Position the table (top/bottom × left/right). Customize background color, text color, border color, and thickness. Optionally add an empty top row for spacing. Line Settings: Choose color, line style (solid/dotted/dashed), and width. Lines automatically update with each new bar on the selected timeframe, anchored to that bar’s open price. General Inputs: ATR length (number of bars). Smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA). Timeframe selection for ATR calculations (e.g., 15m, 1h, Daily). How to Use It for Trading Measure Volatility: Quickly gauge the expected price movement based on ATR for any timeframe. Identify Overextension: Use the coverage % to see how much of the expected ATR range is already consumed. Plan Entries & Exits: Align trade targets and stops with ATR levels for more objective planning. Visual Reference: Horizontal guide lines and table update automatically as new bars form, keeping information clear and actionable. Ideal For Intraday traders using ATR levels to frame trades. Swing traders wanting ATR-based reference points for larger timeframes. Anyone seeking a volatility-based framework for planning stops, targets, or identifying overextended conditions.

ATR Buy, Target, Stop + Overlay ATR Buy, Target, Stop + Overlay This tool is to assist traders with precise trade planning using the Average True Range (ATR) as a volatility-based reference. This script plots buy, target, and stop-loss levels on the chart based on a user-defined buy price and ATR-based multipliers, allowing for objective and adaptive trade management. *NOTE* In order for the indicator to initiate plotted lines and table values a non-zero number must be entered into the settings. What It Does: Buy Price Input: Users enter a manual buy price (e.g., an executed or planned trade entry). ATR-Based Target and Stop: The script calculates: Target Price = Buy + (ATR × Target Multiplier) Stop Price = Buy − (ATR × Stop Multiplier) Customizable Timeframe: Optionally override the ATR timeframe (e.g., use daily ATR on a 1-hour chart). Visual Overlay: Lines are drawn directly on the price chart for the Buy, Target, and Stop levels. Interactive Table: A table is displayed with relevant levels and ATR info. Customization Options: Line Settings: Adjust color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width for Buy, Target, and Stop lines. Choose whether to extend lines rightward only or in both directions. Table Settings: Choose position (top/bottom, left/right). Toggle individual rows for Buy, Target, Stop, ATR Timeframe, and ATR Value. Customize text color and background transparency. How to Use It for Trading: Plan Your Trade: Enter your intended buy price when planning a trade. Assess Risk/Reward: The script immediately visualizes the potential stop-loss and target level, helping assess R:R ratios. Adapt to Volatility: Use ATR-based levels to scale stop and target dynamically depending on current market volatility. Higher Timeframe ATR: Select a different timeframe for the ATR calculation to smooth noise on lower timeframe charts. On-the-Chart Reference: Visually track trade zones directly on the price chart—ideal for live trading or strategy backtesting. Ideal For: Swing traders and intraday traders Risk management and trade planning Traders using ATR-based exits or scaling Visualizing asymmetric risk/reward setups How I Use This: After entering a trade, adding an entry price will plot desired ATR target and stop level for visualization. Adjusting ATR multiplier values assists in evaluating and planning trades. Visualization assists in comparing ATR multiples to recent support and resistance levels.

ADR, ATR & VOL Overlay This is a combined version of 2 of my other indicators: ADR / ATR Overlay VOL / AVG Overlay This indicator will display the following as an overlay on your chart: ADR % of ADR ADR % of Price ATR % of ATR ATR % of Price Custom Session Volume Average For Selected Session Volume Percentage Comparison Description: ADR : Average Day Range % of ADR : Percentage that the current price move has covered its average. ADR % of Price : The percentage move implied by the average range. ATR : Average True Range % of ATR : Percentage that the current price move has covered its average. ATR % of Price : The percentage move implied by the average true range. Custom Session Volume : User chosen time frame to monitor volume Average For Selected Session : Average for the custom session volume Volume Percentage Comparison : Current session compared to the average (calculated at session close) Options: ADR/ATR: Time Frame Length Smoothing Volume: Set Custom Time Frame For Calculations Set Custom Time Frame For Average Comparison Set Custom Time Zone Table: Enable / Disable Each Value Change Text Color Change Background Color Change Table location Add/Remove extra row for placement ADR / ATR Example: The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves. Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability. Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset. Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential (coverage) move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages. Custom Volume Session Example: Set indicator to 30 period average. Set custom time frame to 9:30am to 10:30am Eastern/New York. When the time frame for the calculation is closed, the indicator will provide a comparison of the current days volume compared to the average of 30 previous days for that same time frame and display it as a percentage in the table. In this example you could compare how the first hour of the trading day compares to the previous 30 day's average, aiding in evaluating the potential volume for the remainder of the day. Notes: Times must be entered in 24 hour format. (1pm = 13:00 etc.) Volume indicator is for Intra-day time frames, not > Day. How I use these values: I use these calculations to determine if a ticker symbol has the necessary range to achieve target gains, to determine if the price oscillation is within "normal" ranges to determine if the trading day will be choppy, and to determine placement of stops and targets within average ranges in combination with support, resistance and retracement levels.

[Stop!Loss] ADR Signal ADR Signal - a technical indicator located in a separate window, which displays by default the 80%-level , as well as the 100%-level of the average daily range (ADR) for the last 10 days and compares it with the current intraday range. The indicator helps not only with the use of a mathematical-statistical method to identify a potential reversal at the moment during intraday trading, but can also serves as an effective assistant in risk management. 👉 Basic mechanics of the indicator Firstly, this indicator tracks the performance of the standard ATR indicator on the daily chart, in other words, ADR (Average Daily Range). Important ❗️The ATR (Average True Range) indicator was created by J. Welles Wilder Jr. He first introduced ATR in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems", published in 1978. Wilder developed this indicator to measure market volatility to help traders estimate the range of price movements. This indicator is built into TradingView, more details can be found by link: tradingview.sweetlogin.com Like ATR , ADR calculates the average true range for a specified period. In this case, the distance in points from the maximum of each day to its minimum is calculated, after which the arithmetic mean is calculated - this is ADR . 👉 Visualization ADR Signal is located in a separate window on the chart and has 3 levels: 1) "ADR level" (green line) - the same parameter, the calculations of which are briefly described above. There is 100%-level of ATR on the daily chart (ADR). 2) "Current level" (red line) - this is the current price passage within the day, calculated in points. At the start of a new day, this parameter is reset. Therefore, in the indicator window, this line has sharp drops at the start of a new trading day: "A new trading day - the instrument's power reserve is renewed again". 3) "Signal level" (blue line) - this is an individually customized value that demonstrates a certain part of the ADR parameter. 👉 Inputs 1) - is responsible for the ATR indicator period, the value of which will always be calculated on the daily chart. The default value is "10", that is, ATR is calculated for the last 10 days (not including the current one). 2) - signal level (in %). The default value is "0.8", that is, 80%-level of the ADR parameter (set earlier) is calculated. 👉 Style 1) - by default, this level is colored "blue". 2) - by default, this level is colored "red". 3) - by default, this level is colored "green". 👉 How to use this indicator Important❗️ The two methods of the use of the ADR Signal indicator described below will be most effective when trading intraday (which is highlighted quite well below), so it is more logical to use the indicator information on time periods H1 and below. 1) Identifying potential reversals during intraday trading: The ADR Signal indicator can be used as a potential individual reversal strategy. Important ❗️It should be noted that using it in it without additional confirming analysis tools will be a rather aggressive trading approach. Therefore, it is best to support the entry point in particular with other methods. In this case, the crossing of the red line (the number of points passed within the current day, that is, from the minimum of the current day to its maximum) and the blue line (color of the Signal level based on the default settings), indicates that the trading instrument has passed 80% (based on the default settings for the "Signal level") of its average distance from the maximum to the minimum over the past 10 days (based on the default settings for the "ADR Length"). Such a situation in the context of the mathematical-statistical approach indicates a probable reversal, since the "power reserve" of this instrument is mostly exhausted, so one can expect with a higher probability, at least, a price stop and possibly a reversal. In case of crossing of the red line and the green one (ADR level), it says again that based on the mathematical-statistical approach, this trading instrument has completely exhausted its intraday "power reserve". In this situation, a stop or reversal of the price will be even more likely. Of course, using the "Signal level" parameter, one can filter out even more reliable situations for potential price reversals within a day, namely, by specifying, for example, 1.5 in the field of this parameter. Under such conditions, in the case of crossing the red and blue lines (based on the default style settings), to say that the trading instrument has passed 150% of its average distance over the last 10 days (based on the default style settings "ADR length"). In this case, the probability of a stop or reversal of the price increases even more. 2) Use in risk management: In terms of risk management, this indicator is more applicable to open trades. For example, if one had an open Buy-position (especially if it is an intraday trade) and the price has raised significantly during the day, then the crossing of the red line with the blue line , and especially the red line with the green line , may indicate that the price will most likely stop growing, since the "power reserve" is almost or completely exhausted for this instrument within the current day. In this case, one can, at a minimum, move the trade to breakeven or even partially fix the profit. We will continue to discuss the methods of using this indicator and strategies based on it here. And we are always waiting for your reactions and feedback on this topic 💬. Thank you for your support 🚀

ATR Extension [QuantVue]The Moving Average ATR Extension Indicator offers a powerful blend of two key market elements: the Average True Range (ATR) and Moving Averages (MA), capturing the dynamics of market momentum and trend direction. This indicator is used to measure market extension from a user-selected moving average based on multiples of the Average True Range (ATR). By doing this, it becomes remarkably straightforward to spot strength at breakout points or exhaustion near the end of a run. As a market breaks out the extension indicates a surge in buying pressure, while an extension after a sizeable move can often be an indication of market exhaustion. This extended position essentially reflects over-enthusiastic buying and could be an early warning sign of a potential trend reversal. Breakout Strength: Exhaustion: Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts! We hope you enjoy. Cheers.

ATR Momentum [QuantVue]ATR Momentum is a dynamic technical analysis tool designed to assess the momentum of a securities price movement. It utilizes the comparison between a faster short-term Average True Range (ATR) and a slower long-term ATR to determine whether momentum is increasing or decreasing. This indicator visually represents the momentum relationship by plotting both ATR values as lines on a chart and applying color fill between the lines based on if momentum is increasing or decreasing. When the short-term ATR is greater than the long-term ATR, representing increasing momentum, the area between them is filled with green. Conversely, when the short-term ATR is less than the long-term ATR line, the area between them is filled with red. This red fill indicates decreasing momentum. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We hope you enjoy! Cheers.

ATR Daily Levels Plots the daily ATR on the chart as upper and lower levels. It can be use to adapt your trading in high and low periods of market volatility, determine reasonable target or take profit, entry at likely mean reversion, stop loss beyond normal flows etc... More on the script behavior: - Daily ATR upper/lower levels are applied on the current day low/high; - The ATR value is defined by the last D1 bar; - Shows up to D1 timeframe; - Configuration for the indicator's period (default: 20 period ATR); - Configuration for plotting the indicator on the the x axis with an offset/at begining of the day (default: offset);
