Modified Gann HiLo ActivatorIntroduction
The gann hilo activator is a trend indicator developed by Robert Krausz published into W. D. Gann Treasure Discovered: Simple Trading Plans for Stocks & Commodities . This indicator crate a trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend.
This indicator is fairly easy to compute and dont require lot of skills to understand. First we calculate the simple moving average of both price high and price low, when the close price is higher than the moving average of the price high the indicator return the moving average of the price low, else the indicator return the moving average of the price high if the close price is lower than the moving average of the price low.
My indicator add a different calculation method in order to avoid whipsaw trades as well as adding significance to the moving average length. A Median method has been added to provide more robustness.
The Indicator
The indicator is a simple trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend. The indicator use a different source instead of the price high/low for its calculation. The first method is the "SMA" method which like the classic hilo indicator use a simple moving average for the calculation of the indicator.
Sma Method with length = 25
The "Median" use a moving median instead of a simple moving average, this provide more robustness.
Median Method with length = 25
The shape is less curved and the indicator can sometimes avoid whipsaw with high's length periods.
Mult Parameter
The mult parameter is a parameter set to be lower or equal to 1 and greater or equal to 0. High values allow the indicator to be far from the price thus avoiding whipsaw trades, lower ones lower the distance from the price. A mult parameter of 0.1 approximate the original hilo indicator.
In blue the indicator with mult = 0.1 and in radical red the original hilo activator.
Conclusion
The modifications allow more control over the indicator as well as adding more robustness while the original one is destined to fail when market price is more complex.

Move Up StopsThis script creates a stop loss level and then moves it up in 5% increments as prices increase.
Basically, it checks to see if the lowest low of the last 7 days is above a certain level. If yes, it sets the stop at that level. It then checks for the next highest level and keeps going until the price is not above a level. Those variables are then set to the level below them.
Trailing stops are notorious for skewing backtest results. This script avoids that problem. Also, some exchanges do not offer trailing stops, so this script gives you a signal to let you know its time to manually move your stops up.
I will be using this for swing trades involving both crypto and stocks.
Parabolic SARThis is a redesign of the built-in Parabolic SAR indicator. I added a proper input system, an option to highlight initial points for both lines and an option to choose points width. So, customize it as you want.
Parabolic SAR was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder and described in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" (1978). It is a trend-following indicator that can be used as a trailing stop loss.

MTA-Traling StopIntroduction
Based on my previous indicator , this indicator plot a trailing stop using classic conditions.
Using The Indicator
Like any trailing stop when price is higher than the trailing stop this imply a buy signals, when price is lower than the trailing stop this imply a sell signal. It is possible to use decimals instead of integers for length as shown here :
length = 14.7
The indicator tend to react faster to price movements when a trend has been really long, this methodology is similar to the one used by the parabolic sar.
Downsides
Lack of robustness with the length parameter, the behaviour of the trailing stop can be hard to predict. There is a real need for control.
Conclusion
The indicator can be adaptive, even if it already is in a certain way, by changing the alpha variable at the start considering that 0 < alpha < 1. Its not recommended to use it right now except for testing/coding purpose.
It is clear that i'm not enthusiast when it come to this script, there is a real lack of accuracy, i still hope it can be of use.
Chandelier ExitThis is a redesign of the Chandelier Exit indicator. It removes stupid transitions between Chandelier Exit' states and highlights initial points for both lines.
This indicator was originally developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder in his book "Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading" (2002).
In short, this is a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
SuperTrendThis is a redesign of the SuperTrend indicator. It removes stupid transitions between SuperTrend states and highlights initial points for both lines.
SuperTrend is a moving stop and reversal line based on the volatility (ATR).

TURKISH EXPLANATION:
İz Süren Stop Loss İndikatörü
Adım 1- bu günün düşük fiyatından geriye doğru, daha düşük fiyatlı bir günle karşılaşıncaya kadar yatay bir çizgi çizin
bu sizin birinci countback’ iniz olacak.
Adım 2- bu yeni düşük günün düşük fiyatından geriye doğru tekrar bir başka düşük güne gelene kadar yatay bir çizgi
çekin. Bu sizin ikinci countback’ iniz olacak.
Adım 3- bu ikinci düşük günün düşüğünden ileri bu günkü tarihe kadar yatay bir çizgi çekin bu sizin talimat
verdiğinizde stop-loss noktanız oluyor.
Kural 1- asla aşağıya doğru stop koymayın. Eğer yeni stop-loss noktanız öncekinden daha düşükse onu atıyorsunuz.
Bu kural asla bozulmamalı.
Kural 2- countback çizginiz üzerindeki aynı düşük fiyata denk gelen günleri yok sayın. İkinci contback çizginizi çekmek
için ilkinden daha düşük bir nokta bulmalısınız. Eğer aynı düşük fiyata sahip bir çubuğa denk gelirseniz daha düşüğünü
buluncaya kadar devam edin. Gerçekten hepsi bu kadar. Bu kuralları uygulayarak stop-loss noktamızı her yeni günün
datası eklendikçe uzatabiliriz.
