Overview

Chandelier Exit [trugurpala] sets a long stop from the highest high over the ATR length minus an ATR multiple, and a short stop from the lowest low plus that multiple. Each stop only moves in the favorable direction. Direction turns long when close exceeds the prior short stop and short when close falls below the prior long stop. The active stop is drawn green or red, with optional labels and alerts on flips. ATR length, multiplier, and label visibility are the main settings. It does not place trades.
