Red Light / Green Light
Red Light / Green Light (ATR Distribution & FTD Signals)
Pressing the gas when momentum favors you is easy, but the hard part is knowing when to hit the brakes before getting caught in a sharp distribution drop.
Red Light / Green Light is an overlay indicator designed to keep you on the right side of heavy market moves. It combines ATR-based volatility expansion on down days with Follow-Through Day (FTD) breakout logic to give clear visual entry and exit cues right on your chart.
How It Works
Red Light (Bearish Exit Signal): Triggers on down-bars where the body size expands beyond a customizable ATR threshold (default: 1.5x 10-period ATR). This flags heavy institutional selling or distribution before a deeper pullback unfolds.
Green Light (Bullish Entry Signal): Triggers on a custom Follow-Through Day setup requiring a minimum +1.5% single-day gain, higher volume than the prior bar, and structural price support off a 10-day lookback low.
Key Features & Customization
Custom Emojis or Text: Choose from preset emojis (e.g., 🍆 / ☠️, 🚀 / 💥) or type in your own custom text labels (e.g., "BUY", "SELL", "GTFO", "DONT BE A HERO").
Smart Wick Clearance: Uses ATR-based dynamic positioning so labels remain readable across all timeframes without crowding candle wicks.
Directional Arrows: Optional toggleable pointer arrows (↑ / ↓) pointing directly at signal candles.
Alert Ready: Includes native alertcondition triggers for both Red Light and Green Light signals so you can route them to webhooks, pop-ups, or SMS.
How to Use
1. Add to Chart: Works across standard timeframes (Daily recommended for standard swing trading logic).
2. Adjust Inputs: Fine-tune ATR length, percentage gain thresholds, or lookback periods in the settings menu to fit your asset class (Equities, Crypto, Futures).
3. Set Alerts: Create a TradingView alert selecting "Red Light Alert" or "Green Light Alert" for real-time notification.
