The only thing I can think of that comes close to this description is our interpretation of the June 2009 Trader's Tips from S&C magazine. The Trailing Stop Indicators have Short and Long Labels which might be the signals of interest.

- Select Share | Browse other users shared items.
- Select the Charts tab (it should be selected by default).
- Type June Traders Tips in the search bar.
- Select Search.
- Select Craig_S' June Traders Tips from 4/10/2009 12:28:13 PM.
- Select Open

You can type something less than the complete phrase June Traders Tips in the search, but if you do so, please make sure you select the June Traders Tips created by Craig_S.

You can right-click on the ATR or TS Indicators in the Chart and select Edit RealCode to view the RealCode. The RealCode used for Modified ATR itself is:

'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 5
'# Cumulative
Static SMArange As Single
Static ATR As Single
Static sumWeight As Single
Static termRatio As Single
If isFirstBar Then
    SMArange = 0
    sumWeight = 1
    termRatio = (Period - 1) / Period
End If
SMArange += (Price.High - Price.Low) / Period
If CurrentIndex >= Period Then
    SMArange -= (Price.High(Period) - Price.Low(Period)) / Period
End If
If CurrentIndex >= Period - 1 Then
    Dim HiLo As Single = System.Math.Min(Price.High - Price.Low, 1.5 * SMArange)
    Dim Href As Single
    If Price.Low <= Price.High(1) Then
        Href = Price.High - Price.Last(1)
    Else
        Href = Price.High - Price.Last(1) - (Price.Low - Price.High(1)) / 2
    End If
    Dim Lref As Single
    If Price.High >= Price.Low(1) Then
        Lref = Price.Last(1) - Price.Low
    Else
        Lref = Price.Last(1) - Price.Low(1) - (Price.Low(1) - Price.High) / 2
    End If
    Dim diff1 As Single = System.Math.Max(HiLo, Href)
    Dim diff2 As Single = System.Math.Max(diff1, Lref)
    Dim Weight As Single = 1 / sumWeight
    ATR = ATR * (1 - Weight) + Weight * diff2
    sumWeight = sumWeight * termRatio + 1
    Plot = ATR
Else
    Plot = Single.NaN
End If

Hello,
Try this for a simple idea. I shared the layout in StockFinder 5.

Modified ATR "BLOCK DIAGRAM" to show an ATR based stop loss. Dragged indicator to watchlist for quick reference. Indicator can now be pinned out of the way.

Good trading, GENE

You can Drag and Drop Price onto the Modified ATR TS to create Conditions for Price being above or below the TS.

Creating Conditions

And Drag and Drop those Conditions onto Price History to use them as part of the Paint Scheme for Price History (using whatever color has been set for the Condition).

Paint Schemes
