3D Trailing Stop
3D Trailing Stop is an indicator designed to keep you in trend trades and let you know when it may be a good time to exit. It's calculation is based on the Trend, Volatility and Volume pattern of the instrument. Instead of most trailing stops which are based on 1 measurement, it's based on 3 measurements, hence it's name 3D Trailing Stop, which is short for 3-Dimensional.
For example when looking at a long-only trade, the more up days and the more volume on those up days, the wider the trailing stop will be. However when the trend changes, and there's more down days with more volume then the trailing stop will tighten. The idea is to try and keep us in good trends for longer and get out of reversing trends earlier.
The default distance the trailing stop will be from the EMA (5) is always a multiple of 1.5 - 3x the ATR (21) and all of these settings are changeable by the user. To change the trailing stop from the default long trend to short trend change the ATR Offset setting from - to +. If you wish to display both a long and short trailing stop, simply add the indicator again to your chart with the ATR Offset + setting enabled. The indicator also shows how far the trailing stop price is from the last price, expressed as a % on the chart so you can easily see how far away the trailing stop is.
There are a few ways it can be used, for example one may wish to enter on a 50 or 100 bar high/low breakout and use the 3D Trailing Stop as a indicator when to get out of the trade. You could exit once price goes below the trailing stop, or use the previous bar trailing stop value as the level for a quicker exit.
This indicator can be used on any market and any timeframe, for both long and short trades. We have found it to work best on stocks long-only using the daily timeframe as stocks tend to have good up-trends over time. You could also use it on smaller timeframes in conjunction with other indicators and signals to enhance your win rate.
