Chandelier Exit Trend Navigator [MarkitTick]💡 A trend-following overlay that tracks directional shifts using a volatility-adaptive channel (Chandelier Exit methodology) and converts each flip into a fully structured trade plan — entry, stop-loss, and three R-multiple take-profit levels — displayed directly on the chart alongside a live status dashboard.
✨ Originality and Utility
While the Chandelier Exit concept itself (anchoring a trailing stop to the highest high or lowest low over a lookback, offset by a multiple of ATR) is a well-documented volatility-stop technique, this script extends that foundation into a complete navigation system rather than a simple trailing line.
Three layers separate this tool from a stock Chandelier Exit plot:
An optional adaptive pre-filter (Kalman Filter or a slope-adjusted moving average referred to here as LLAMA) that can be applied to the source series before the channel extremes are calculated, allowing the trend anchor itself to react differently to noise depending on which filter is selected.
A full trade-management layer built on top of the directional flip: automatic stop-loss placement, three independently configurable take-profit levels defined in R-multiples, and live linefill zones that visually separate risk from reward.
A condition-stacking filter system (higher-timeframe EMA bias and ADX strength) that must all align before a directional flip is treated as an actionable signal, reducing signals generated during weak or conflicting conditions.
The combination is not an arbitrary mashup — the adaptive filter conditions the input to the channel calculation, the HTF/ADX filters condition which flips are considered valid, and the trade-management layer converts a validated flip into a concrete, risk-defined plan. Each component feeds the next in a single directional pipeline.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
● Chandelier Exit Core
The core channel is built from Average True Range (ATR), calculated over a user-defined lookback. Two boundaries are computed each bar:
A long-side stop, set below the highest value of the source over the lookback period, offset by a multiple of ATR.
A short-side stop, set above the lowest value of the source over the same lookback, offset by the same ATR multiple.
Users can choose whether the highest/lowest calculation uses close-based extremes or true high/low wicks, which changes how sensitive the channel is to intrabar spikes.
A persistent trailing line then locks in the tighter of the two boundaries as price develops: while the current directional state is bullish, the line only ratchets upward (never loosening on a pullback); while bearish, it only ratchets downward. A directional flip occurs when price closes beyond the opposite boundary from the prior bar, at which point the trailing line resets to anchor the new trend.
● Adaptive Source Filtering
Before the channel extremes are calculated, the source price can optionally be passed through one of two smoothing methods:
Kalman Filter — a recursive estimator that updates its estimate of the "true" price each bar based on a prediction-error and gain calculation, converging faster in stable conditions and adapting more cautiously during volatile ones.
LLAMA — a linear-regression-style approach that takes a simple moving average of the source and adjusts it by the recent slope (rate of change) over the same lookback, projecting the average forward in the direction the price has been drifting.
When neither is selected, the raw close is used directly, preserving the traditional Chandelier Exit behavior.
● Confirmation Filters
Two independent filters can be layered on top of the raw directional flip before it is treated as a signal:
A higher-timeframe EMA bias filter, which only allows long signals when price is trading above an EMA calculated on a higher timeframe, and only allows short signals when price is trading below it.
An ADX-based strength filter, which requires the Average Directional Index to be at or above a user-defined threshold before any signal — long or short — is permitted, filtering out flips that occur during weak, non-trending conditions.
Both filters default to off and can be combined or used independently.
● Trade Level Construction
When a filtered directional flip is confirmed on a closed bar, the script anchors a trade plan to the prior bar's close:
Risk per trade is defined as the prior bar's ATR multiplied by a user-set stop-loss multiplier.
The stop-loss is placed one risk-unit away from the entry, in the direction opposite the trade.
Three take-profit levels are placed at independently configurable R-multiples of that same risk distance (default 1R, 2R, and 3R), each extending in the direction of the trade.
This means every signal comes with a symmetric, volatility-scaled risk framework rather than a fixed point value, so trade levels automatically widen or tighten with current market volatility.
🎨 Visual Guide
Heatmap Candles — the chart's candle bodies and wicks are recolored to match the current directional state: teal/green while the trailing system is bullish, red while bearish, and gray when direction is undetermined (e.g. on the very first bar).
Entry Line (blue, dashed) — marks the anchor price of the most recent confirmed trade signal.
Stop-Loss Line (red, solid, thicker) — marks the calculated stop price for the active signal, labeled "✕ SL" with its price value.
Take-Profit Lines (green, dashed, three separate levels) — TP1, TP2, and TP3, each drawn with progressively fuller opacity so TP3 is the most visually solid, labeled "◆ TP1", "✦ TP2", and "◆ TP3" respectively with their price values.
Risk Zone Fill — a light red shaded region between the stop-loss and entry lines, visually sizing the risk portion of the trade.
Reward Zone Fill — a light teal shaded region between the entry and TP3 lines, visually sizing the potential reward portion of the trade.
Dashboard Table — a repositionable panel (default top-right) summarizing, in real time: Lock status, current Trend direction, HTF Bias reading, the numeric CE trailing-stop level, current ATR value, and the active Entry/SL prices. When enabled, it also displays the current ADX reading and which adaptive filter (if any) is active. A visual bar-and-percentage gauge shows the reward-to-risk ratio of the current trade relative to TP3, colored red/yellow/green depending on how favorable it is.
📌 Note : the best way to resolve visual overlap is to navigate to the Object Tree and drag the indicator above the main chart layer, or simply hide the native candles in your chart settings.
📖 How to Use
A directional flip in the heatmap candle color, together with a new Entry/SL/TP level set appearing on the chart, indicates a fresh signal in that direction.
The Stop-Loss line represents the level at which the trade thesis is considered invalidated under this system's logic.
TP1, TP2, and TP3 represent successive profit-taking references at increasing R-multiples; price reaching a level does not close or resize the plotted level automatically — it is a visual reference for scaling decisions.
The Risk and Reward zone fills give an immediate visual sense of the trade's risk framing without needing to read exact price values.
The Dashboard's R:R (TP3) gauge offers a quick read on how the reward potential compares to the initial risk for the most recent signal.
The Lock Signal input, when enabled, freezes the currently plotted levels in place and suppresses new signal generation — useful for reviewing a specific setup without the chart updating further trade plans in real time.
When the HTF or ADX filters are enabled but conditions aren't met, no new signal will fire even if the raw directional flip occurs — check the Dashboard's HTF Bias and ADX rows to understand why a flip may not have produced a signal.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
ATR Len / ATR Mult — controls the lookback and volatility multiplier used to build the Chandelier channel; a longer length and/or larger multiplier produces a wider, slower-reacting trailing stop.
Use Close Extremes — toggles between close-based and high/low-based channel construction, changing sensitivity to intrabar wicks.
HTF Trend Filter / HTF TF / HTF EMA Len — enables and configures the higher-timeframe EMA bias filter that gates which direction of signal is permitted.
Use ADX Filter / ADX Threshold / ADX Length — enables and configures the trend-strength filter that must be satisfied for any signal to fire.
Adaptive Filter / Adaptive Filter Length — selects an optional smoothing method (Kalman Filter or LLAMA) applied to the source before channel calculation, and its lookback length.
Lock Signal — freezes the currently displayed trade levels and halts new signal generation.
SL ATR Mult — sets how many ATR units define one unit of risk for stop-loss placement.
TP1 R / TP2 R / TP3 R — sets the R-multiple distance for each take-profit level relative to the calculated risk.
Heatmap Candles / Show Trade Levels — toggle the directional candle coloring and the entry/SL/TP drawing layer independently.
Dash Pos — repositions the dashboard to any chart corner.
Color inputs — customize the bullish/bearish colors, stop-loss, entry, and take-profit line colors, and the dashboard's background, header, and text colors.
Alert action fields (Long/Short/Close Long/Close Short) — customize the text string sent in the "action" field of the JSON alert payload, useful for routing signals to automated systems expecting specific action keywords.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The trailing-stop core of this script belongs to a family of volatility-adjusted stop techniques that use Average True Range as a normalization factor for price movement, an approach popularized in trend-following and volatility-breakout literature as a way to size stops relative to an instrument's current, rather than fixed, volatility regime. Anchoring the stop to a rolling extreme (highest high or lowest low) rather than a fixed percentage or point distance reflects the broader class of "channel breakout" trend systems, in which a directional bias persists until price violates a level defined by recent extremes — a structure with roots in classical trend-following systems that predate modern indicator platforms.
The optional Kalman Filter smoothing draws on recursive Bayesian estimation theory, originally developed for tracking dynamic systems under measurement uncertainty. Applied to price, it treats each new close as a noisy observation of an underlying "true" value, blending the prior estimate with the new observation according to a gain term that adjusts based on estimated error — a formulation with parallels to adaptive filtering approaches used in signal processing and, more recently, in quantitative finance research on noise-reduction for price series.
The LLAMA-labeled alternative combines a simple moving average with a linear slope projection, conceptually related to local linear regression and momentum-adjusted smoothing techniques, where a lagging average is advanced along the estimated trend direction to partially compensate for the inherent lag of moving-average-based estimators.
The ADX-based strength filter draws on Welles Wilder's Directional Movement framework, which quantifies trend strength independently of trend direction; requiring a minimum ADX reading before accepting a signal reflects a common risk-management heuristic in trend-following systems — that directional signals generated during low ADX (ranging/choppy) conditions have historically shown less reliability than those generated during elevated trend strength, though this relationship is probabilistic rather than deterministic and varies across instruments and regimes.
The take-profit structure, expressed in R-multiples of the initial risk rather than fixed price or percentage targets, reflects standard position-sizing and risk-management theory in which trade outcomes are measured relative to the capital placed at risk, allowing performance to be evaluated on a risk-normalized basis rather than in absolute price terms.

Adaptive Chandelier Exit+ [MAB]Adaptive Chandelier Exit+ is a self-optimizing ATR-based trailing stop that dynamically adjusts to market conditions.
Instead of relying on a fixed ATR multiplier like the traditional Chandelier Exit, this indicator continuously evaluates multiple multiplier values and automatically selects the one that has been performing best on recent price action — delivering a trailing stop that adapts to volatility, trend strength, and structure in real time.
🔶 HOW IT WORKS
The standard Chandelier Exit uses a fixed ATR multiplier to determine trailing stops, which can be too tight in volatile trends or too loose in consolidating markets. Adaptive Chandelier Exit+ solves this by testing a range of ATR multipliers simultaneously.
Each multiplier generates its own trailing stop and trend state. These are continuously scored using an exponential performance model that evaluates how well each configuration aligns with directional price movement.
On every bar:
The highest-performing multiplier is selected
That multiplier is smoothed using an EMA to prevent sudden shifts
The final trailing stop is calculated using this smoothed optimal multiplier
This creates a stop level that is not static, but continuously optimized based on recent market behavior.
🔶 USAGE
🔹 Stop & Trend State
Teal trailing stop — Bullish trend active. Price is above the stop, and the indicator is tracking upward movement.
Red trailing stop — Bearish trend active. Price is below the stop, and the indicator is tracking downward movement.
The stop dynamically adjusts based on both volatility and trend efficiency, making it suitable for trailing positions or defining market bias.
🔹 Trade Signals
Teal triangle (▲) below bar — Bullish signal. Trend flips from bearish to bullish as price closes above the adaptive stop.
Red triangle (▼) above bar — Bearish signal. Trend flips from bullish to bearish as price closes below the adaptive stop.
Because the multiplier is selected based on recent performance and smoothed before application, signals reflect a stop level that has been validated against current market conditions — not a fixed parameter.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Core Settings
ATR Length — Lookback period used for ATR calculation and highest high / lowest low reference. Controls how reactive the stop is to price movement.
🔹 Multiplier Range
Min ATR Multiplier — The smallest multiplier included in the test range. Produces tighter stops.
Max ATR Multiplier — The largest multiplier included in the test range. Produces wider stops.
Multiplier Step — Increment between tested multipliers. Smaller steps improve precision but increase computation.
🔹 Smoothing
Multiplier Smooth Length — EMA length applied to the selected best multiplier before calculating the final stop. Prevents abrupt jumps when the optimal multiplier changes between bars. Higher values result in smoother, slower adjustments.
🔶 NOTES
Suitable for all markets and timeframes.
Can be used as a trailing stop, trend filter, or dynamic support/resistance level.
Works especially well in trending environments where volatility shifts over time.
Adaptive logic helps reduce premature stop-outs compared to fixed ATR systems.
Past performance of any selected multiplier does not guarantee future results — always apply proper risk management. Indicator
Chandelier Exit Oscillator + State MappingAt its core, this script is built on a Chandelier Exit-style ATR stop-and-flip engine. The difference is that instead of leaving that framework only in price space, this indicator converts the active side and the opposite-side extension into a normalized oscillator. In other words, this takes the same Chandelier Exit structure that can define trend state and stretch on a chart, then re-expresses that structure in a separate pane so it can be read in a different way. Rather than only asking where price is relative to a trailing stop, this script asks where price is progressing inside the current active-to-extension range and how that progression is behaving.
That is what makes this more than a standard Chandelier Exit view. It does not just plot a stop and a flip. It takes the current main multiplier structure, builds a directional channel from the active side to the opposite-side extension, and maps that channel into oscillator space. That creates a normalized way to read state, stretch, and internal zone behavior across both bullish and bearish conditions.
The script includes two mapping modes.
1) Geometry mode preserves the channel relationship more literally:
active level = -100
midpoint = 0
extension = +100
2) State-Weighted mode keeps the same Chandelier framework but biases the oscillator by active direction, so bullish regimes tend to live above 0 and bearish regimes tend to live below 0. In that mode, 0 behaves less like a simple midpoint and more like a directional boundary.
From there, the script adds three secondary Chandelier Exit multipliers, which by default are 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5. These are not separate indicators bolted onto the script for the sake of adding features. They are additional Chandelier Exit branches derived from the same underlying ATR stop-and-flip logic. Their active levels are remapped into the same oscillator space so they can act as internal zone references inside the broader main channel.
That matters because not every move waits until a full extension is reached before reacting. Sometimes price begins to stall, react, or accelerate from a smaller internal multiplier zone first. These secondary CE layers help organize that behavior into a readable internal structure instead of forcing everything to be judged only from the full outer stretch.
The script also gives multiple ways to view the same oscillator state. You can keep it simple with the main oscillator line, or display histogram columns, synthetic oscillator candles, guide rails, and extreme zones. There is also an optional price-overlay candle mode, which colors the chart candles using the same oscillator color engine so the chart view and pane view remain visually connected.
To help with context, the script also includes:
➖an HTF oscillator reference line
➖an oscillator volume-weighted average
➖adaptive fast/slow crossover lines
➖a standalone SMA 20/50 crossover engine
➖a current-state table
➖optional alerts for zero-line crosses and adaptive fast/slow crosses
These features are there to help interpret the same core Chandelier Exit structure in oscillator form. They are not separate systems with separate foundations. The main idea stays consistent throughout the script: use a CE-style ATR framework as the base, then translate it into a pane-based state and extension model that is easier to compare, normalize, and monitor over time.
A practical way to read it:
➡️ In a bullish state, the active main CE side becomes the lower anchor and the opposite-side extension becomes the upper anchor. The oscillator shows how far price is progressing through that structure.
➡️ In a bearish state, the structure flips. The active main CE side becomes the upper anchor and the opposite-side extension becomes the lower anchor.
➡️ The secondary CE multiplier zones help show where internal support/resistance-style reaction areas may begin to matter before price reaches the full outer stretch.
➡️ In Geometry mode, 0 is the midpoint of the mapped channel. In State-Weighted mode, 0 behaves more like a directional dividing line between bullish and bearish conditions.
One of the main reasons I made this was to create a true companion to my overlay script, Chandelier Exit Reaction Zones + Fib Levels. That script keeps the structure directly on price. This oscillator takes the same general Chandelier Exit framework and expresses it in normalized pane form. Used together, the overlay script helps show where the structure sits on the chart, while this oscillator helps show how price is progressing through that same structure, how internal zones are behaving, and whether the move still looks orderly inside the current channel. They work well as a package because one gives the price-space view and the other gives the pane-space view of the same broader idea.
This is not meant to predict reversals by itself, and it is not intended to be treated as a standalone signal machine. The way I use it is more practical:
➖to frame where price is stretched
➖to judge whether price is still progressing through the current CE channel or starting to stall
➖to see whether the move is only testing an internal multiplier zone or approaching a full extension
➖to compare current oscillator behavior against HTF context and crossover behavior
Bar Replay is especially useful here. Watching the script one bar at a time makes it much easier to see how the CE state flips, how the oscillator remaps around those flips, and when the internal multiplier zones begin to matter before a larger stretch is completed.
Like the companion overlay version, this works best with confluence. Volume, RSI, structure, trend context, support/resistance, and broader market conditions can all help decide whether an extended move is more likely to continue, react, or fully reverse. The value of this script is not that it replaces those tools. The value is that it gives the Chandelier Exit framework a second, more normalized expression that can make state, extension, and internal zone behavior easier to read.

Chandelier Exit Reaction Zones + Fib LevelsAt its core, this script is built on a Chandelier Exit-style ATR stop-and-flip engine. The difference is that instead of stopping at a single trailing stop, it expands that framework into a full ladder: the multiplier 10 level becomes the primary anchor, the opposite-side multiplier 10 level becomes the extension anchor, and the space between them is mapped with a fib channel. Optional Chandelier Exit multipliers of 5.0 and 7.5 reaction zones add another layer of context for tracking how price behaves before it reaches the full multiplier 10 stretch.
The main idea is simple: markets often react when price gets extended, but not every extension behaves the same way. Sometimes price reaches an ATR threshold and reverses. Sometimes it reaches the same area and continues. This script is meant to organize that behavior into a structure you can read quickly. The Chandelier Exit engine provides the directional framework, while the ladder, fib channel, and reaction zones help show where price is stretched, where it is progressing through the channel, and where a reaction may be worth paying closer attention to.
At a high level, the script does three things. First, it identifies the current active ATR 10 side and the opposite ATR 10x extension. Second, it divides that space into a structured ladder using fib-based levels. Third, it can overlay ATR 5.0 and 7.5 reaction zones so you can see when price is pressing into an intermediate reaction area instead of only waiting for the full ATR 10 test.
A few examples of how to read it:
➡️In a bullish state, the active ATR 10 line acts as the lower anchor and the ATR 10x extension becomes the upper stretch line. The fib ladder shows how far price has progressed through that channel.
➡️In a bearish state, the structure flips. The active ATR 10 line becomes the upper anchor and the ATR 10x extension becomes the lower stretch line.
The optional ATR 5.0 and 7.5 reaction zones add another layer of context. They are useful when price is not yet at the full ATR 10 extreme but is already entering a part of the move where reaction risk is increasing.
➡️The reaction zones table is there to make the state logic visible. It shows the current main multiplier's direction, the latest flip state, the 5.0 / 7.5 reaction directions, and whether those reaction branches are actively contributing to the fill.
This is not meant to predict reversals by itself. The way I use it is more practical: it helps frame where price is stretched, where a move is still developing, and where a reaction may deserve closer attention. The value here is the structure, not a guaranteed signal.
The script also includes state-aware touch alerts for the active ATR 10 level and the ATR 10x extension. Those alerts are not entry signals on their own. They are meant to notify you when price has reached an area that may deserve a decision: continuation, reaction, or invalidation.
Bar Replay
Bar Replay is especially useful with this script. Stepping through price one bar at a time makes it much easier to see how the multiplier 10 ladder flips, how the fib channel reorients, and when the 5.0 / 7.5 reaction zones begin to matter. That can help traders understand the structure in motion instead of only judging it from a finished chart.
Confluence
This script is not meant to be used in isolation. It works best as a structural framework alongside other tools such as RSI, MACD, trend context, volume, and support/resistance. The ladder and reaction zones help define where price is stretched; confluence helps decide whether that stretch is more likely to lead to continuation, reaction, or reversal.
This is an open-source tool, so the goal is transparency and flexibility. Traders can keep it simple and use only the main ATR 10 ladder, or add the fib channel, reaction zones, candle coloring, alerts, and table for more context. The core idea stays the same either way: use a Chandelier Exit-style ATR framework to map stretched price conditions with a consistent structure.

Indicator
Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator [ARJO]Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator
OVERVIEW
The Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator is a visual analysis tool designed for traders observing NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) instruments, particularly those interested in options. It displays a trend-based oscillator in the lower chart pane and automatically calculates option strike prices , presenting them in an easy-to-read table. The indicator helps users observe trend changes and understand how option strikes might be selected based on current market conditions.
IT has a dashboard that shows you:
Where the trend might be heading (through the oscillator)
What option strikes align with the current price level
When trend transitions occurred
CONCEPTS
This indicator combines several technical analysis concepts in a beginner-friendly format:
1. Trend Observation (Chandelier Exit)
The indicator uses a method called "Chandelier Exit" which observes price volatility to identify potential trend directions. When the indicator shows green, it suggests an upward trend pattern; red suggests a downward pattern. These are reference points, not predictions.
2. Smoothed Price Movement
Raw price data can be noisy. This indicator applies mathematical smoothing (called "Ehlers 2-Pole filter") to reduce short-term fluctuations, making it easier to observe the underlying trend direction.
3. Momentum Oscillator
The oscillator (displayed as bars and lines in the lower pane) shows the difference between smoothed price and its moving average. Positive values suggest upward momentum; negative values suggest downward momentum . This is similar to how MACD or LBR works.
4. Strike Price Calculation
For option traders , the indicator automatically calculates:
ATM (At-The-Money): The strike price closest to the current underlying price
OTM (Out-of-The-Money): Strike prices at a distance from ATM, based on your settings
These calculations use standard rounding methods based on each instrument's official strike interval.

NOTES FOR BEGINNERS
Start Simple: Use default settings first. Don't change too many parameters initially.
Paper Trade First: Observe the indicator for several days before considering any real trades. Note how often trend transitions occur and how strikes align.
Understand Your Instrument: Know the strike interval for your chosen stock/index. NIFTY/BANKNIFTY use 100, most stocks use 10, 20, or 50.
Timeframe Matters: The indicator behaves differently on different timeframes. A 5-minute chart will show more transitions than a 1-hour chart.
Use with Other Analysis: This indicator is one tool among many. Combine with price action, support/resistance, and volume analysis.
Don't Chase: Just because a transition occurs doesn't mean you must act. Observe the quality of the move.
Backtest Observations: Use PulseWire's replay feature to observe how the indicator performed historically.

At the core of Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R is a refined Chandelier Exit mechanism that dynamically calculates trailing stops based on recent highs and lows, ATR volatility, and trend sensitivity. The system features directional memory, anchoring the stop to maintain position until a confirmed trend break occurs. This method prevents premature flips and keeps the trade aligned with sustained momentum.
longStop := close > longStop ? math.max(longStop, longStop ) : longStop
shortStop := close < shortStop ? math.min(shortStop, shortStop ) : shortStop
🔶 Volatility-Weighted Filtering
To reduce noise and improve reaction quality, Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R includes an optional volatility normalization filter. This system adjusts ATR output based on how elevated it is relative to its own average, effectively down-weighting erratic price moves while maintaining responsiveness in directional phases.
volatilityFilter = enableVolatilityFilter ? ta.sma(baseATR, length) / baseATR : 1.0
atr = mult * baseATR * sensitivity * volatilityFilter
🔶 Trend Strength-Aware State Transitions
Trend flips in Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R are not based solely on price crossing the stop level. Instead, the system includes a momentum-derived trend strength filter that validates the legitimacy of directional shifts. This guards against weak reversals and gives stronger confidence in breakout moves.
priceChange = math.abs(close - close )
avgPriceChange = ta.sma(priceChange, length)
trendStrength = math.min(priceChange / avgPriceChange * 100, 200)
🔶 Multi-Timeframe Support & Resistance Zones
Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R embeds a sophisticated pivot-based structure mapping engine that automatically identifies significant price reaction levels and tracks their validity over time. It filters redundant zones, removes invalidated levels, and renders real-time support and resistance overlays based on market structure.
if isUniqueLevel(ph, resistanceLevels)
array.unshift(resistanceLevels, ph)
if isUniqueLevel(pl, supportLevels)
array.unshift(supportLevels, pl)
🔶 Dynamic Visual Encoding
The indicator uses strength-scaled fills, customizable colors, and line styling to convey directional bias with clarity. Color opacity intensifies as trend strength increases, offering intuitive context at a glance. Dynamic background fills mark trend states, while S/R zones are rendered with user-defined transparency for clean integration.
🔶 Signal Detection and Alerts
Directional signals are generated upon confirmed flips between long and short regimes, validated by stop crosses and strength filters. Additionally, the indicator provides S/R breakout alerts, identifying when price breaks through a key structural level.
🔶 Performance and Customization Optimizations
Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R is built with modularity and efficiency in mind. It supports full customization of stop logic, volatility sensitivity, structural lookback, S/R zone filtering, and visual display. The use of array-based data structures for S/R levels ensures consistent performance even across high-activity assets and longer lookback periods.
Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R represents the next evolution in trailing stop and structure-aware trading tools. By blending the proven logic of the Chandelier Exit system with intelligent trend strength filters and robust S/R detection, it becomes more than just a stop indicator—it becomes a complete trade management companion. Traders benefit from fewer false flips, clearer directional bias, and precise structural overlays that reinforce both breakout and reversal strategies. Whether used for swing entries, intraday positioning, or zone-based re-entries, Advanced Chandelier Exit with S/R empowers traders with responsive, intelligent logic that adapts to market conditions without compromise.

Chandelier Exit Pro w/ExtensionsChandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions
The Chandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk and identifying trend reversals. The strategy is based on the Chandelier Exit concept, originally created by Charles Le Beau. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop levels that adjust based on market volatility. This script not only implements the standard Chandelier Exit, but also introduces extension levels and alerts to enhance decision-making.
Key Features:
➡️Dynamic Stop Levels: The indicator calculates stop levels for both long and short positions based on an ATR multiple. This allows traders to determine exit points by monitoring when the price crosses above or below these levels. These levels adapt in real-time based on price volatility, making them a versatile tool for trend-following strategies.
➡️Extension Levels: In addition to the primary stop levels, the script includes extension levels for more advanced stop-loss management. Traders can view active and extension levels separately, providing more flexibility in their exit strategies.
➡️Labels and Visual Cues: The indicator provides dynamic labels that automatically update and follow the plotted stop levels. Labels include the ATR multiplier value (e.g., "2.5" or "2.5ext"), clearly showing the significance of each level. When price crosses below or above a level, the corresponding label is highlighted, aiding traders in quickly identifying the most relevant stop level.
➡️Bar Confirmation and Alerts: The script includes an "await bar confirmation" option to ensure that the stop levels and alerts only trigger after the bar has closed. Alerts are customizable and will notify traders when price crosses critical levels, helping to make timely decisions without the need to constantly monitor charts.
➡️Multiple ATR Levels for Enhanced Precision: The indicator supports up to four different ATR levels, each with customizable multipliers. This allows traders to set different thresholds for exits based on varying degrees of volatility. For example, Level 1 (2.5x ATR) might represent a tighter stop, while Level 4 (10x ATR) could serve as a wider stop for long-term positions.
➡️Calc_bars_count: Improves efficiency of the indicator by reducing the on-chart calculations in to the past. This input can be found at the bottom of the INPUTS tab.
How it Helps Traders:
💥Trend Identification: By using the Chandelier Exit levels, traders can identify when the trend is likely to reverse. When the price crosses below the stop level in a long trade or above the stop level in a short trade, it signals a potential exit point.
💥Volatility-based Adjustments: Unlike static stop-loss methods, the ATR-based stop levels dynamically adjust based on the market’s volatility. This means tighter stops during low volatility periods and wider stops during high volatility periods, reducing the chance of being stopped out prematurely.
💥Risk Management: The dynamic stop levels and extension levels provide a structured way to manage risk. Traders can set tighter stops for short-term trades and wider stops for longer-term trades. The script's visual labels make it easy to track these levels in real-time.
💥Automation with Alerts: The built-in alert system ensures that traders are notified when key levels are crossed. This helps to avoid emotional decision-making and allows for better execution of trading strategies.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of the Chandelier Exit indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use the Chandelier Exit levels in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and the Chandelier Exit signals a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the Chandelier Exit signals a trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the Chandelier Exit triggers a short signal and the RSI also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern near a Chandelier Exit resistance level offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the Chandelier Exit with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
Practical Use Case:
Imagine a trader enters a long position, and the price moves favorably. Using the Chandelier Exit, the trader sets the initial stop level at 2.5x ATR below the highest close. As the price continues to rise, the stop level follows the price, locking in profits. If the market suddenly turns, the price crossing below the stop level signals an exit, helping the trader preserve gains. With extension levels, the trader can further refine exits, adjusting based on their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Good luck and I hope that you can find a place in your tool bag to use this dynamic indicator 🙏 Indicator
Anchored Chandelier ExitThe Chandelier Exit is a popular tool among traders used to help determine appropriate stop loss levels. Originally developed by Chuck LeBeau, the Chandelier Exit takes into account market volatility and adjusts the stop loss level dynamically. This indicator builds upon the original Chandelier Exit by allowing the trader to select an anchor date or starting point for the indicator to begin calculating from.
The Original Chandelier Exit
Before we get into the details of the Anchored Chandelier Exit, let's review the original. Essentially a dynamic ATR stop loss, the Chandelier Exit provides a trailing stop that moves higher or lower based on volatility.
The Chandelier Exit is calculated based on the following criteria:
🔶ATR - The ATR is used to measure the volatility of a security over a lookback period. The ATR length determines the number of bars to consider when calculating the average true range. The shorter the length, the more responsive the level will be.
🔶ATR Multiplier - The default multiplier is set to 3. This is used to determine the sensitivity of the Chandelier Exit. The higher the ATR multiplier the wider the stop levels will be. A lower multiplier will tighten stop levels.
🔶Highest / Lowest Points - Determine the highest high (bullish trade) or lowest low (bearish trade) during the lookback period. The default length is 22 bars.
Calculating the Chandelier Exit
Bullish trades - Highest High - ATR * Multiplier
Bearish trades - Lowest Low + ATR * Multiplier
The Anchored Chandelier Exit
The Anchored Chandelier Exit is a new twist on the original, allowing traders to adapt their stop loss levels based on specific market events, levels or bars.
Similar to the original, traders can select the ATR length and multiplier, however, the high or low from which the ATR is subtracted or added is first determined at the anchor bar.
As new bars form, the indicator checks for the previous high/low to be breached. If the high or low is exceeded, the highest/lowest point is updated and the Chandelier Exit is recalculated.
When the indicator is first loaded to your chart, it will ask you to select an anchor bar and choose the bias for the trade.
A bullish (long) bias trade will plot the Chandelier Exit below price action, while a bearish (short) bias trade will plot the Chandelier Exit above price action.

Chandelier Exit ZLSMA StrategyIntroducing a Powerful Trading Indicator: Chandelier Exit with ZLSMA
If you're a trader, you know the importance of having the right tools and indicators to make informed decisions. That's why we're excited to introduce a powerful new trading indicator that combines the Chandelier Exit and ZLSMA: two widely-used and effective indicators for technical analysis.
The Chandelier Exit (CE) is a popular trailing stop-loss indicator developed by Chuck LeBeau. It's designed to follow the price trend of a security and provide an exit signal when the price crosses below the CE line. The CE line is based on the Average True Range (ATR), which is a measure of volatility. This means that the CE line adjusts to the volatility of the security, making it a reliable indicator for trailing stop-losses.
The ZLEMA (Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average) is a type of exponential moving average that's designed to reduce lag and improve signal accuracy. The ZLSMA takes into account not only the current price but also past prices, using a weighted formula to calculate the moving average. This makes it a smoother indicator than traditional moving averages, and less prone to giving false signals.
When combined, the CE and ZLSMA create a powerful indicator that can help traders identify trend changes and make more informed trading decisions. The CE provides the trailing stop-loss signal, while the ZLSMA provides a smoother trend line to help identify potential entry and exit points.
In our indicator, the CE and ZLSMA are plotted together on the chart, making it easy to see both the trailing stop-loss and the trend line at the same time. The CE line is displayed as a dotted line, while the ZLSMA line is displayed as a solid line.
Using this indicator, traders can set their stop-loss levels based on the CE line, while also using the ZLSMA line to identify potential entry and exit points. The combination of these two indicators can help traders reduce their risk and improve their trading performance.
In conclusion, the Chandelier Exit with ZLSMA is a powerful trading indicator that combines two effective technical analysis tools. By using this indicator, traders can identify trend changes, set stop-loss levels, and make more informed trading decisions. Try it out for yourself and see how it can improve your trading performance.

MA, MATR, ChEx | All in One - 4CR CUPIn trade position setup, we always need to determine the market structure and manage the position sizing in a short period of decision time. Indicators such as moving average, initial stop loss and trailing stop loss are always helpful.
This indicator put all these handy tools into a single toolkit, which includes the following price action and risk management indicators:
MA - Moving Average
MATR - Moving Average less Average True Range
ChEx - Chandelier Exit
This script further enhances the setting so that you can easily customize the indicators.
For both the Moving Averages and the Moving Average less Average True Range , you can pick a type of moving average which suits your analysis style from a list of commonly used moving average formulations: namely, EMA , HMA , RMA, SMA and WMA , where EMA is selected as default.
The Moving Average less Average True Range , MATR, is usually applied as a reference to set the initial stop loss whenever opening a new position.
The abbreviation, MATR, is picked, so that this can serve as a handy reminder of a very good trading framework as elaborates as below:
M – Market Structure
A – Area of Value
T – Trigger
R – Risk Management (aka. Exit Strategy) Indicator
Chandelier Exit | SAR/Long Only (4CUP)As introduced by StockCharts.com, Chandelier Exit was developed by Charles Le Beau and featured in Alexander Elder's books, this sets a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Chandelier Exit can be formulated as a stop-and-reverse (SAR) or as a traditional trailing stop-loss version shown by Stockcharts.com.
The main difference is that, in SAR version, the indicator is usually formulated in a higher of previous or spot indicator (HPS) for long and lower of previous and spot indicator (LPS) for short position.
This indicator is coded to show both the SAR version and the traditional one shown by Stockcharts.com (for long position) by simply clicking a tick in the Version box.
The ATR multiplier is relaxed to allow non-integer input, like 3.5, 4.25, ... for a greater flexibility to tailor your best-fit exit strategy.
