My guess is that Chandelier is a person's name. Generally very fancy lighting (with lotsa bulbs or candles) in centre of big rooms is also called chandelier, but there seems to be no connection between this stop loss idea and lighting, so name is more likely to be true.

:D you actually got it right,but funny that you don't believe its true, its the lights . . . . :lol:




the connection . . .


As these fancy lights hang from the ceiling, at a fixed distance . . .

The Chandelier Exits are designed to get you out of the trades at a fixed distance from ceiling (HHV or LLV)

The logic being, its not worth to be in the trade after a certain point of price retrace, assuming the trend is now broken. . .

Okay. Here is working code. I have used Short /Cover for cross of trailing Stop.
Buy/ Sell can be your preferred logic. Four type of stops can be used and set in Parameters. Buy/Sell Price and Stop Price also can be plotted.
Though I have not checked the prices being displayed.

//Stopeloss Code

StopMode = ParamList("Stop Mode", "FixPoints|FixedPercent|Chandelier|Modified ATR" );
StopLevel = Param("Fixed perc %", 1, 0.1, 5, 0.1)/100;
FixedSL = Param("FixSL", 40,1,1,100);
StopATRFactor = k;
StopATRPeriod = Per;


// calculate support and resistance levels
if( StopMode == "FixedPercent" ) // fixed percent trailing stop
{
sup = C * (1- StopLevel);
res = C * (1+ StopLevel);
}
else // Chandelier ATR-based stop
if( StopMode == "Chandelier" )
{
sup = C - StopATRFactor * ATR( StopATRPeriod );
res = C + StopATRFactor * ATR( StopATRPeriod );
}
else
if ( StopMode == "Modified ATR" )
{
HL = H - L;
MAHL = 1.5 * MA( HL, StopATRPeriod );
HiLo = IIf( HL < MAHL, HL, MAHL );
H1 = Ref( H, -1 );
L1 = Ref( L, -1 );
C1 = Ref( C, -1 );
Href = IIf( L <= H1, H - C1, ( H - C1 ) - ( L - H1 ) / 2 );
Lref = IIf( H >= L1, C1 - L, ( C1 - L ) - ( L1 - H ) / 2 );

diff1 = Max( HiLo, HRef );
diff2 = Max( diff1, LRef );

ATRmod = Wilders( diff2, StopATRPeriod );

sup = C - StopATRFactor * ATRmod ;
res = C + StopATRFactor * ATRmod ;
}

else
if ( StopMode == "FixPoints" )
{
ApplyStop( stopTypeTrailing, mode = 1, amount = FixedSL, exitatstop = 1, volatile = True, ReEntryDelay = 0 ) ;
sup = H - FixedSL;
res = L + FixedSL ;
}

Equity( 1, 0 ); // evaluate stops, all quotes
// calculate trailing stop line
trailARRAY = Null;
trailstop = 0;
for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
//if( Started[ i ] == 0 ) continue;

if( C[ i ] > trailstop AND C[ i - 1 ] > trailstop )
trailstop = Max( trailstop, sup[ i ] );
else
if( C[ i ] < trailstop AND C[ i - 1 ] < trailstop )
trailstop = Min( trailstop, res[ i ] );

Here k and per are not defined earlier so it is showing error

Check this out ....

For rest of you who are just waiting for code .... This is not complete!!!

Code:

[/B]
[/COLOR]	// calculate support and resistance levels

Sorry guys,

You can use this given by Mastermind.

StopATRFactor = Param("Chandelier ATR multiple", 4, 0.5, 10, 0.1 );
StopATRPeriod = Param("Chandelier ATR period", 14, 3, 50 );

Or .............you can insert these definition of k and Per in the beginning -
k = Optimize("K",Param("K",1.75,1,5,0.25),1,5,0.25);
Per= Optimize("atr",Param("atr",10,3,30,1),3,30,1);

Or ........ use Combination of above
StopATRFactor = Optimize("StopATRFactor",Param("StopATRFactor",1.75,1,5,0.25),1,5,0.25);
StopATRPeriod= Optimize("StopATRPeriod",Param("StopATRPeriod",10,3,30,1),3,30,1);

I have not fully understood what "Optimize" does.

Optimize function will find out the value from your given range where you will have maximum profit

Backtesting is however, giving funny results. Now there are different points at which Buy/Sell/Cover/Short will signal. Backtester gives only Long and Short. Is it possible to add a column in Backtester to reveal which signal is initiating which trade?
