Author Message - Conversion not Typical -

This script returns trailing stops on the occurrence of market structure (CHoCH/BOS labeling). Trailing stops are adjusted based on trailing maximums/minimums with the option for users to be able to control how quickly a trailing stop can converge toward the price.

Added MTF and some bug fix:

The script will run without errors on a 1min chart.
It might not be very helpful.
1min charts tend to have too much noise to settle into trending zones.

Thank you so much @samer800, i trade with market structure on tradingview and this helps me a lot on TOS.

Do you think you would be able to convert it in MTF indicador? just for studying purpouses, it will be great.

Thanks anyway ;););)

I have been following this script. Pretty amazing. Just needed some clarification: The solid blue vs dash blue lines and solid pink vs dash pink lines. Basically, not sure what is CHoCHup and CHoCHup_? Please provide some details that will be helpful. Also, does it show the first pull back at a major high or low level which will be a CHoCH and not an inducement?

Confused for ChoCHup vs CHoCHup_. Also, looks like BOS is deonated by small dash line.

long dashed lines just an extension of the CHoCh

This is a Market Structure indicator.
Market Structure, in its simplest definition, is an outline of the instrument; defining how the instrument generally trades.

To define market structure, you can use pivots, zigzags, range/channels/bands, or in this case, a trailing stop.

When you have defined your market structure, you can now look for Changes in Character (CHoCH).
A "CHoCH" signals a change in the direction of price movement. It marks a shift in the trend after price forms certain patterns.

When a bullish trend shifts, a CHoCH happens as a low is broken, and in a bearish trend, it occurs as a high is broken.

Important:
CHoCH (Change of Character) signals shouldn't be the sole basis for making trades. These signals are like a warning sign that hints at a potential change in the stock's direction.

CHoCH signals can pop up in different places on stock charts – sometimes it's just there without much impact. So, it's crucial to consider other factors alongside CHoCH signals. Use Market Structure and your other indicators to get the bigger picture; to determine which CHoCH signals are more likely to be important and influence your trading decisions.

Hope this helps.

You can basically use it to have a clear picture of the trend in any timeframe you want, then u can enter with the trend, either on a retracement or a continuation pattern.

Thanks, I was mostly interested in using it in a script as a "filtered" conditional sell stop.
