Chandelier Stops for Higher-Timeframe Trend Signals

Summary

This indicator displays the direction or a signal from a Chandelier Stops calculation on a selected timeframe. It uses a lookback length, an ATR period, and a multiplier to define the underlying stop indicator. A continuing trend is marked with a horizontal arrow, while a change in trend is shown with a diagonal arrow pointing in the trade direction. Colors distinguish upward and downward signals.

The document describes chart labels, signal-bar selection, and optional sound alerts. It is an interface and indicator description rather than a tested trading strategy: it provides no performance evidence, entry or exit rules beyond the displayed signal, or guidance on markets where the method works. Users should also note that its signal behavior depends on the selected timeframe and bar, and multiple instances on one chart require distinct label names.

Key ideas

• The indicator renders Chandelier Stops direction and changes as chart arrows.
• Its underlying calculation is controlled by lookback, ATR period, and multiplier inputs.
• A selected bar and timeframe determine which signal is displayed.
• The document gives no backtest or evidence that the signals are profitable.
