Overview
Chandelier Exit tracks a long stop under recent highs and a short stop above recent lows, then switches direction when price crosses the opposite stop. Buy and sell labels mark those flips. The ATR period and multiplier set stop distance, and a close-price option chooses whether extremes use close or high and low. Optional fills shade the active state. Alerts can wait for bar confirmation, but plotted signals still update on the live bar.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.
