Stop Estimate - Keltner


Many ES momentum traders are familiar with using Keltner bands to help determine what stop they will use by measuring the distance between the bands aka bandspread. The indicator uses those Keltner band calculations to help give an estimated stop loss in ticks displayed in an easy to read text box on the chart. The user can custom set the look back period and offset values in the indicator properties menu. The user can also configure the text font, text size, color and placement position of the display window.

This indicator doesn't draw the Keltner bands to help maintain a clean chart for those who don't like to plot indicators (naked charting) and there are already free indicators that do that.

This indicator has only been used on the ES and MES so it has been limited to those instruments only. For other instruments check out the ATR based stop indicator here

As an added bonus this indicator is an excellent backtesting tool for quickly getting estimated stops when identifying past trade entries on historical bars. The user can navigate to the top of the chart and press "Show Data Box" or press down on the mouse wheel button to temporarily reveal the data box. The data box will display what the estimated stop ticks were for the price bar at that time. Being able to quickly check the estimated stop ticks has personally been a huge time saver for logging historical trades by JY Analytics.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
