This indicator plots an ATR-based Chandelier Exit trailing stop on the price chart. It 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.

Overview
A buy label appears when the state turns long and a sell label when it turns short. The ATR period and multiplier set the stop distance, an optional wick mode uses highs and lows instead of closes, and a highlight option fills the active state. It draws stops, labels and fills on the price chart and fires alerts on signals and direction changes. It is not a strategy and has no exit rules.
- ATR trailing long and short stops
- Buy and sell direction-change labels
- Optional wick-based stop calculation
- Long and short state fill
- Alerts for buy, sell and direction change

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
