TrendFusion​

chewie76 shared:
I added another moving average and ATR based bands to the TrendFusion indicator. There are trade signals if you turn them on. Default averages are 35 and 63, but feel free to change them to your favorite averages. The bands are based on the "maPeriod" average. Trade signals can also be adjusted by changing the dmiPeriod and adx levels. You can view long and short signals, or just turn on long or short in the settings under "tradeType".
This is a good trend indicator that also gives you good areas where price could be extended.

ATR ADR Indicator (with %)​

jngy2k shared:
This script is basically a volatility dashboard. It tells you one thing: How much room does this ticker realistically have to move today?
ATR
How much the ticker typically moves per bar, including gaps.
What to do with it:
  • Position sizing: Higher ATR → smaller size.
  • Stop placement: Your stop must be outside the ATR noise.
  • Expectations: If ATR is 0.50, don’t expect a $2 move.
  • Avoid chop: Low ATR = dead ticker = skip it.
ATR tells you, Is this thing even worth trading right now?
