Bracket PreviewThe Bracket Preview indicator allows the user to set their intended bracket order distance (distance, in ticks, to take-profit and stop-loss) from the current live price so that a preview is generated and updated in real-time as price moves. This gives the trader a quick reference of where the bracket orders would be placed if a position were entered at that specific moment in time. This can be helpful by making it more obvious to the trader before a trade is placed exactly where these levels would be in relation to previous price action or if it would be better to wait for price to move to a more favorable level or accept a different Risk-Reward (RR) from this specific trade.
• “If I entered a long position now, would my target be in front of or beyond a recent consolidation area where it is likely to run into resistance and potentially reverse before hitting my take-profit?”
• “Would this bracket order place my stop-loss above or below a previous pivot or would I need to move it after entering the trade and potentially increase the risk on this trade to have it in a more logical level?”
• “If price is in a range and I enter now, would my stop be in the middle of the range while my target is outside the top of the range? Maybe I should wait for price to move to an area where my target would be inside but near the top of the range while my stop loss is below the range so that I’m not taking unnecessary risk or being forced to take an unfavorable RR.”

Bracket Trading VisualizerThe Bracket Trading Visualizer highlights locations in the past when a bracket trade would of won.
🔶 Purpose
Show the opportunities a trader had in the past to give a intuitive idea of how to trade the chart.
🔶 How It Works
Red color indicates the location a Short would of won.
Green color indicates the location a Long would of won.
Yellow color indicates the location a Long OR Short would of won.
Empty color indicates the location a Long OR Short would of Lost.
Empty color also indicates undecided, especially on the latest candles as the future has not been drawn yet.
🔶 What Is A Bracket Trade?
A bracket trade is when your take profit and stop loss are automatically set on entry.
Example: Take profit is set to 1%, Stop loss is set to 1%, when entering a trade the take and stop will set above and bellow the entry price by 1% each.
🔶 More Info
The default Take%/Stop% need to be increased for higher time frames as each candle moves larger distances.
The indicator crawls from left to right on each candle to check what part of that candle was a win for longs and shorts.
This Indicator updates past data based on current information, so empty areas are being filled in as new candles are created.
Because of pinescript limitations the script can only see 375 bars into the future. If a trade takes longer then 375 bars to finalize it will be empty color.
🔶 Theme Setup
It wont look as good with basic candles so set candles to "Bars" and color them white.
🔶 Experiments
Set a take profit larger then the stop loss and look at the opportunities, notice how there are Less.
Set a Stop Loss larger then the take profit and look at the opportunities, notice how there are More, including yellow overlaping.
🔶 Settings
Take %: Take Profit percent distance from the entry price
Stop %: Stop Loss percent distance from the entry price
Commission %: Commission is calculated twice for entry and exit. A 0.03% commission will increase take profit by 0.06% and decrease stop loss by 0.06%.
Calculation Bars Back: If you need to see more candles into the past increase this number, its purpose is to speed up calculation time, Higher number is slower. Also if things aren't drawing properly zoom out all the way then zoom back in.
