FVG Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]

How it works

The FVG Trailing Stop indicator analyzes unmitigated Fair Value Gaps to determine market trend direction by tracking price movements relative to a dynamic trailing stop line. It identifies bullish and bearish states by comparing price position to the trailing stop, with the indicator originating from average extremities of unmitigated FVGs.

The script calculates these extremities through two steps: first by taking the raw average of FVG mitigation levels, and then applying a simple moving average smoothing. The trailing stop moves in one direction until a reset occurs or the trend direction changes, providing traders with a clear visual representation of potential trend momentum.

Why it may be useful

The FVG Trailing Stop offers traders a sophisticated method to understand market trends by dynamically tracking price movements and Fair Value Gaps. By providing clear visual signals about trend direction, it helps traders make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points in various market conditions.

The indicator's unique approach of tracking unmitigated FVGs allows traders to gain insights into market sentiment and potential trend reversals. Its flexibility, including the 'Reset on Cross' feature, enables traders to adapt to changing market dynamics and potentially capture more profitable trading opportunities.
