Chandelier Exit
Trailing stop levels set a few ATRs away from the highest high (for longs) or lowest low (for shorts).
L’idée en termes simples
A stop should give the trade room to breathe in proportion to how much the market normally moves. The chandelier "hangs" the long stop from the highest high, at a distance of a multiple of the average true range.
Mode de calcul
Long exit = highest high of N candles − multiple × ATR(N). Short exit = lowest low of N candles + multiple × ATR(N).
Long exit = HH(N) − m × ATR(N)
Short exit = LL(N) + m × ATR(N) (defaults N = 22, m = 3)Comment l’utiliser
- As a trailing stop: keep a long position while the price stays above the long exit line.
- A close beyond the line is a common signal to leave the trade.
Tirer des conclusions
- A wider multiple keeps you in longer trends but gives back more profit.
Exemple
XAUUSD daily: the highest high of 22 days is 2,450 and the ATR 28, so the long exit sits at 2,450 − 84 = 2,366. A close below 2,366 would end the trade.
Les prix des exemples sont donnés à titre d’illustration.
Points de vigilance
- In choppy markets the price can close beyond the line and turn back.
