Risk-Reward Framework for Comparing Indicator-Based Trade Setups

Summary

This indicator is a visual framework for defining stops, multiple profit targets, and trailing stops across long and short setups. It offers configurable templates for stochastic, moving-average cross, MACD, Bollinger Band, and Supertrend signals. A user can choose two trade types to display together, while tables summarize trade tracking and risk-to-reward information. The stop is specified as a percentage of price, and target levels are expressed as multiples of that stop distance.

The framework is intended to make risk and reward assumptions visible and support comparison of trade components. Its source and settings describe a tracking and visualization tool rather than a validated standalone strategy: the document provides no measured performance, comparison results, or evidence that any listed signal or target configuration has an edge. Since the supplied code excerpt omits most implementation details, exact trade accounting and trailing-stop behavior cannot be fully assessed from this document. Users would need to define and test their own entry rules, execution assumptions, and risk controls before drawing conclusions.

Key ideas

• The framework organizes configurable stop and target levels around several common technical indicators.
• Targets are set as multiples of the chosen stop distance to make nominal risk-reward relationships explicit.
• It allows users to compare two selected trade types and inspect tracking and risk-reward tables.
• The document describes a visualization and bookkeeping tool and supplies no evidence of trading profitability.
