QF| Stop Loss & Take Profit Indicator

Overview:

The QF| SL&TP (Stop Loss & Take Profit) indicator is a strategic trading tool designed to enhance risk management and profit-taking tactics. This indicator provides traders with visual cues for setting stop loss and take profit levels, tailored to their trading strategies. This guide will delve into the functionalities of the QF| SL&TP indicator and offer guidance on maximizing its utility in trading. There are two settings which allows the user to set your stop loss using the ATR or a swing low/high. The take profits are all multipliers of the risk amount (your stop loss amount).

2. ATR-Based Calculation: · Utilizes the ATR to calculate dynamic stop loss levels, factoring in market volatility.

· Adjustable ATR multiplier provides flexibility in setting stop loss distance.

3. Swing Low/High-Based Calculation: · Determines stop loss levels based on recent swing lows or highs, offering an alternative approach that aligns with price action. The number entered will pick the swing low/high of that number of bars back.

4. Multiple Take Profit Levels: · Enables setting up to three take profit levels, each with its multiplier, to facilitate partial profit-taking and maximize potential returns.

Note:

· These levels are variable depending on price, and cannot be made static. This is why the table has been implemented for quick glance figure reading.
