Auto-ATR Volatility Spike & Trend Tracker [BigBeluga]Auto-ATR Volatility Spike & Trend Tracker is an institutional-grade algorithmic trend-following terminal engineered for PulseWire. It is specifically built to isolate high-momentum breakout anomalies (spikes) from ordinary noise and anchor a dynamic, risk-managed trailing stop-loss directly to the underlying structural expansion.
By merging volumetric price momentum with an adaptive Average True Range (ATR) detection framework, this indicator completely redefines how breakout traders enter and manage trends. Instead of reacting blindly to standard moving average crosses, the system utilizes an execution state machine that locks onto systemic market expansion, tracks trend health via dynamic midpoint lines, and protects capital with a trailing protection line.
🔵 CHANNELS & ARCHITECTURAL CORE ENGINE FEATURES
1. Dual-Mode Spike Detection System
Auto ATR Volatility Engine: Automatically adapts to varying market conditions. By cross-referencing incoming candle structures against an ATR Length multiplier baseline, the indicator filters out flat consolidation periods and flags abnormal, high-liquidity volume expansions that signify true institutional participant footprints.
Fixed Percentage Breakout Mode: For traders operating in highly structured assets with predictable daily limits, this module locks onto absolute price change thresholds ( Fixed Spike Threshold % ), isolating momentum moves that pierce predefined parameters.
Wick-to-Body Range Toggle: Allows you to switch calculations to run from either the raw candle body (Open to Close) or the full extreme range ( Calculate From Wicks (High/Low) ). This isolates clean structural closes while adjusting to high-volatility liquidity sweeps.
2. Predictive Mid-Level Benchmarks & Spacing Visuals
Dynamic Mid Level Dash Lines: When a valid trend spike is verified, the engine immediately draws a horizontal midpoint line extending from the center of the candle ( Display Mid Level Dash Line ). This centerline serves as an immediate structural macro floor or ceiling; as long as price retains this boundary, the primary breakout impulse remains historically intact.
Measurement Arrow Guides & Measurement Labels: Automatically draws measurement arrow guides along with real-time text percentage indicators directly over the breakout candle ( Display Size % Labels & Arrow Lines ). This gives you instant clarity on the volatility profile without needing to use manual drawing tools.
3. Algorithmic State Machine & Trailing Protection
Volatility-Adjusted Trailing Stops: Once a breakout trend is established, the indicator deploys a step-calculated trailing line based on your Trailing ATR Multiplier . This line is engineered to trail tightly beneath bullish expansions or above bearish flushes, keeping you safely in the macro trend while mitigating downside variance.
Trend Interlock Protection: The underlying state machine features built-in trigger restrictions that lock execution while a trend is dominant. This prevents counter-trend false entries or premature reversals, keeping your focus strictly on the dominant structural path.
Theme Overwrite Candlesticks: Completely recolors the active layout chart workspace bars using vivid, customized hex-theme presets ( Bullish/Bearish Theme Colors ) the exact moment an abnormal spike is validated.
4. Persistent Macro Statistics Dashboard Matrix
Top-Right Analytics HUD Table: Instantly maps out a high-performance database grid showing critical data points from the most recent historical market expansions.
Real-Time Metrics Monitoring: Explicitly stores and displays the precise directional Spike Type , Size (%) , and exact entry execution Price for both bullish and bearish cycles, providing a reliable quantitative snapshot of the asset's structural strength.
🔵 SYSTEMATIC EXECUTION STRATEGIES & RISK INTERPRETATION
Midpoint Re-test Accumulation Plays: When a powerful up-spike forces a market breakout, do not chase the initial overextended move. Instead, wait for a constructive pullback toward the extended dynamic dashed midline. If price builds a base and prints a clean rejection candle at this level, it signals a premium, low-risk continuation entry aligned with institutional order flow.
Trailing ATR Invalidation Exits: The trailing stop-loss line acts as your absolute trend line invalidation boundary. In a powerful bullish expansion, the indicator will continuously trail and lock in accrued profit beneath the recent low points. A clean daily close crossing beneath this line confirms an official trend termination, signaling an immediate exit to protect your capital.
Breakout Sizing Divergences: Cross-reference the live metrics dashboard data to spot exhausting trends. If an asset is pressing higher but newly generated bullish spikes show smaller percentage sizes compared to the historical records on your HUD table, it exposes fading momentum—frequently warning of an impending reversal or structural distribution phase.
