OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
VWATR Stop-Loss Bands
Purpose
The script provides an adaptive stop‑loss framework built from VWATR, it anchors protective levels to price extremes and scales them with both volatility and volume. The objective is to create stop‑loss zones that reflect real market intensity rather than arbitrary fixed distances.
How it works
The script computes true range, multiplies it by volume, and smooths both the volume‑weighted range and raw volume using the selected moving average, their ratio forms VWATR, a volatility measure normalized by traded volume. It then calculates the standard deviation of VWATR to capture volatility‑of‑volatility. Stop‑loss levels are constructed by offsetting the low and high by one VWATR, with additional layers created by adding or subtracting one to five standard deviations. The plots use strong colors for core levels and progressively lighter tones for outer layers, establishing a clear visual hierarchy.
Rationale
This structure gives the trader stop‑loss levels that adapt to changing market conditions, expanding during high‑energy phases and contracting during quiet periods, which reduces premature stop‑outs and aligns risk with actual volatility. The standard deviation layers provide a graded map of volatility stress, allowing the user to assess how far price must travel to breach increasingly extreme thresholds. The result is a stop‑loss system that is both reactive and context‑aware, offering more informed decision‑making than static offsets.
