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).
