Volatility-adaptive trailing stops that automatically adjust to market conditions.

Widens trail width during volatility spikes and tightens in calm markets using ATR-based measurement, preventing premature exits in trending markets while maintaining proximity during consolidation.

Smart volatility adaptation with real-time recalculation, regime detection with confirmation logic to filter false signals, trend memory incorporating directional momentum for breathing room during strong moves, three adaptive components (Volatility Stretch, Trend Boost, Regime Confirmation), customizable MA types and sensitivity parameters, and clean single-trail visual display deliver dynamic stop management for traders targeting sustained trends with structural awareness.
