MSL Profit Navigator
You see the trend. The hard part comes after: where the stop belongs, where to take something off, and what to do when the first attempt gets stopped and the trend is still there. This tool answers those three questions on the chart, at candle close, and leaves the decisions to you.
Two averages, one over the highs and one over the lows, form a corridor. A confirmed close outside it by more than an ATR buffer changes the state. Every state change opens one setup: entry at that close, stop already on the far side of the corridor, three targets already measured out in ATR. The stop then follows the corridor and only tightens, each target touch prints a label and can fire an alert, and the setup ends on the stop. If the trend survives the stop, a reentry rule can put the same direction back on once price proves it.
WHAT IS ON THE CHART
Candles painted in the color of the current setup. LONG and SHORT markers at entries. The trail, which is the stop that was actually active on each candle. 1TP, 2TP and 3TP labels at each target touch, with the move from entry. An SL label where a setup ended. While a setup is open, a shaded risk zone between price and the stop, the stop line, the live price line and a label with the open move. A table with trend, status, the open move, the distance to the stop and three target touch rates.
THE CORRIDOR
Most channels are one average with a multiplier around it, so their width is whatever you typed. This corridor is the distance between the smoothed highs and the smoothed lows: it widens when candles get taller and narrows when they get shorter, with no multiplier to tune per instrument.
Four smoothing engines: EMA, the plainest and slowest; HMA, the fastest with the most overshoot; JMA, the default, a low-lag compromise with phase and power controls; McGinley, which adapts its own speed to price and turns last. The center line drawn on the chart uses the source input and is context only; the signals and the stop never use it.
The state turns up when a confirmed close sits above the upper band plus the signal buffer, down on the mirror condition, and holds inside the corridor. The buffer is measured in ATR, so a poke through the band on a thin candle changes nothing. Raise it for fewer, later signals; lower it for earlier, more frequent ones. Nothing is decided inside a live candle.
Ethereum, daily. One state change in April, three targets at 3.6%, 7.1% and 12.5%, and a trail that stays above price for the whole leg. The setup ends where the trail is touched, not where a target is reached.
THE SETUP
Entry is the close of the signal candle, a reference for the math; your fill will differ. TP1, TP2 and TP3 are ATR multiples measured at entry, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.5 by default, and never move afterwards. The stop starts on the opposite band, with an optional ATR buffer, follows that band and only tightens; a level computed at a close applies from the next candle. Targets are milestones, not exits: TP3 does not close the setup and does not move the stop.
Reentry: a trend that survives a stop is not a finished trend. With reentry on, the same direction can open again once the wait in bars has passed, the state is still on that side, and a confirmed close breaks the extreme made since the stop by the reentry buffer. Switch it off and a stop is final until the state flips.
Bitcoin, 4 hours. The August LONG runs through all three targets with the trail climbing under price. The range after it shows what reentry does: setups open, get stopped and reopen on the same side while the state holds.
HOW TO USE IT
A marker prints at candle close. The stop is the trail; the shaded zone to the right of price is the risk you are carrying right now. The three targets are the natural places to take something off. Set the entry and target alerts to Once Per Bar Close and the stop alerts to Once Per Bar, and the tool reports every step without you watching the chart. If it talks too much on your instrument, raise the signal buffer or the engine length; if it is late, lower them or pick a faster engine.
STATISTICS
The table's TP1, TP2 and TP3 rows show the share of the last completed setups, fifty by default, that reached each target. A setup enters the sample when it is stopped, with the highest target it reached. Wick touches count. When one candle touches both a target and the stop, the target is counted and the setup is closed by the stop on that same candle, so the reading cannot hide a loss. The SL label prints the worse of the candle open and the stop level, so a gap is priced as a gap.
These are touch rates, not win rates and not returns: no fees, no sizing, no slippage, no partial exits. A near target is touched more often because it is near. Compare rows across your own settings; do not read them as a score.
Gold, 4 hours. Two SHORT legs with their targets, a LONG through the bounce, then a stretch where setup after setup ends on the stop. Every one of those stops goes into the sample behind the table.
Euro against the dollar, one hour. On the left, a drifting range and several stopped setups. On the right, one SHORT that holds through the whole leg, three targets, and the setup still open with its risk zone projected ahead.
HOW IT DIFFERS FROM PROFIT HUNTER ATR PRO AND PROFIT ENGINE
Those two measure targets as multiples of the initial risk and step the stop to entry after TP1. Profit Navigator is the simpler machine: targets are ATR distances, the stop is the corridor edge and trails from the first candle, and it has reentry, which the other two do not. The engines differ as well: the rail in Profit Hunter changes speed, the center in Profit Engine changes level, the corridor here changes width. Which fits your market is something to see on your own chart.
ALERTS AND SETTINGS
Ten alert conditions: LONG and SHORT signals, TP1 / TP2 / TP3 for each direction, and the stop touch for each direction. Engine Type and Engine Length set the character; Signal Buffer is the frequency dial; Trailing Stop ATR Buffer gives the stop room at the price of wider risk; the TP multipliers set the ladder; the reentry inputs control the second attempt; Completed Signals Sample sets the memory of the statistics. Everything in Visuals and Active Work Area is cosmetic. Every input has a tooltip.
INSTRUMENTS, TIMEFRAMES, REAL TIME
Standard candles only; Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point and Figure and Range bars change the prices underneath and break every level here. H1 and up is the intended range. The snapshots above are crypto, gold and FX, and the cover is a US equity; whether the defaults suit a given instrument is something to check on that instrument. No lookahead and no future data: entries, targets and the stop are evaluated on confirmed candles, and a printed label stays where it was printed.
WHY CLOSED SOURCE
Smoothed high and low bands, ATR buffers and ATR target ladders are public building blocks, and I have described how they are used here. What stays closed is the implementation: the calibration between engine length, buffer and trail, the acceptance conditions for a state change, the reentry qualification, the order in which ambiguous candle events are resolved, and the state machine that carries a setup from entry to stop. Concept, signal logic, parameter meanings, statistics method and limitations are all in this text.
LIMITATIONS
A state change confirms after part of the move has happened. A corridor in a sideways market produces sequences of small losses; the buffer reduces them and does not remove them. Higher volatility widens the corridor, the stop and the targets with it. Gaps and news candles can pass through levels before confirmation. Illiquid instruments distort the bands. Defaults are a starting point, not a recommendation. Past markers and table values do not predict anything. The script places no orders, sizes no positions, manages no account, and guarantees no level will be reached.
IMPORTANT
Analytical tool for chart study and education. It is not investment advice and not an offer to transact. Entry, size, risk and every trading decision are yours.
