// Downloaded From https://www.WiseStockTrader.com /* These two forms of the same indicator are designed to act as the Chandelier Exit stop loss as described by Barbara Rockefeller in "Technical Analysis for Dummies", and is written especially for use with AmiBroker. She describes the Chandelier exit as a dataset of "the highest high or the highest close SINCE YOUR ENTRY." To allow the Chandelier exit to stop you out gives you a couple of average-true-ranges (ATRs) from the best price the stock has reached SINCE YOUR ENTRY. Only *you* know when your trading rules will dictate that you enter the trade, and so my Chandelier Exit Preview here allows you to preview the Chandelier exit series by clicking on the bar that AmiBroker?s back-test/optimize says you should buy on. If your RSI says ?buy? on the 1st of June, simply overlay my Chandelier Exit formula onto your price data, and click on the bar corresponding to the 1st of June. The three series named "Chand..." will change each time you click a different bar. Thus when you click the 1st of June bar, you get a Chandelier Exit stop loss especially designed for buying that stock on the 1st of June. The second formula, the Chandelier Exit, is designed to fit into your automated AmiBroker trading formulae. Why do all this?.... 1) Adaptive trailing stops allow you to crystallize profits made. 2) The Chanderlier Exit takes into account when you bought the stock, making it more relevant. 3) This AmiBroker version allows you to preview when it would stop you out for any bar that your trading system tells you. 4) It can be fairly easily integrated into your automated AmiBroker back-tests and optimizations. How to integrate it into your personal AmiBroker trading system: Pretend your "buy" formula is simply [MA(Close, 10) > O] and your "sell" formula is [MA(Close, 10) < 0] for simplicity. Run a window with the MA(Close, 10) graph so you can see when it crosses zero, and place another window with the price, and overlay with the Chandelier Exit formula you wish to use. If you use Chandelier Exit Preview, simply click on each day when the MA(Close, 10) crosses zero, and the appropriate Chandelier exit lines for the highest High and Close, and lowest Low will appear. The point of the Preview is that you can click on any day and see how the Chandelier exit would behave :). As for the second, Chandelier Exit formula, simply copy your "[MA(Close, 10) > O]" and use it to replace the . Then go to your Sell criterion and add "OR" then copy the appropriate Graph1, Graph2 or Graph3 depending on whether your Chandelier Exit should use the highest High (Graph1) or Close (Graph2) or lowest Low (Graph3), in the form of "OR Cross(Graph1, Close)". If you wish to optimize the "ATRPeriods" and "Multiple" paramaters, simply replace "Param" with "Optimize" and run it through the Automatic Analysis.*/ _SECTION_BEGIN("Chandelier Exit Preview"); YourHold = BarIndex() - SelectedValue(BarIndex()); //How many bars between the selected bar AND each bar following Multiple = Param("Multiple", 3, 1, 10, 1); //How many ATR?s to be allowed below the Highest High since selected bar ATRPeriods = Param("ATR Periods", 22, 1, 50, 1); //How many periods to use for the ATR Graph1 = HHV(Close,YourHold) - (Multiple * ATR(ATRPeriods)); //Chandelier exit line from Highest Close Graph2 = HHV(High, YourHold) - (Multiple * ATR(ATRPeriods)); //Chandelier exit line from Highest High Graph3 = LLV(Low, YourHold) + (Multiple * ATR(ATRPeriods)); //Chanderlier exit from Lowest Low (used when going Short) Plot(Graph1, "ChandClose", ParamColor( "ChandClose Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("ChandClose Style") ); Plot(Graph2, "ChandHigh", ParamColor( "ChandHigh Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("ChandHigh Style") ); Plot(Graph3, "ChandLow", ParamColor( "ChandLow Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("ChandLow Style") ); _SECTION_END(); _SECTION_BEGIN("Chandelier Exit"); YourHold = BarIndex() - ValueWhen(EMA(C,25) > C, BarIndex(), 1);//Replace 'EMA(C,25) > C' with your 'buy' formula Multiple = Param("Multiple", 3, 1, 10, 1); //How many ATR?s to be allowed below the Highest High since latest "buy" bar ATRPeriods = Param("ATR Periods", 22, 1, 50, 1); //How many periods to use for the ATR Graph1 = HHV(Close,YourHold) - (Multiple * ATR(ATRPeriods)); //Chandelier exit line from Highest Close Graph2 = HHV(High, YourHold) - (Multiple * ATR(ATRPeriods)); //Chandelier exit line from Highest High Graph3 = LLV(Low, YourHold) + (Multiple * ATR(ATRPeriods)); //Chanderlier exit from Lowest Low (used when going Short) Plot(Graph1, "ChandClose", ParamColor( "ChandClose Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("ChandClose Style") ); Plot(Graph2, "ChandHigh", ParamColor( "ChandHigh Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("ChandHigh Style") ); Plot(Graph3, "ChandLow", ParamColor( "ChandLow Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("ChandLow Style") ); _SECTION_END(); // Buy = EMA(C,25) > C; Sell = EMA(C,25) < C OR Cross(Graph1, Close); //Use the appropriate Graph1, Graph2 OR Graph3 for whichever Chandelier exit you wish Short = Sell; Cover = Buy; _SECTION_END();
