MA-based SSL channel with multi-timeframe modes, ATR envelope, and bar coloring.
Tracks trend direction by comparing close price against moving averages of High and Low. State flips to bullish when close crosses above MA(High) with sufficient conviction, bearish when it drops below MA(Low) — plotting SSL Up and SSL Down bands accordingly, with a Close MA as additional confluence.
Four calculation modes (None, Interpolated, ScaledPeriod, Trendline), ATR-based envelope for noise filtering, bar coloring, timeframe pattern resolution, and trendline projection deliver a complete SSL framework for traders working across multiple timeframes and analysis styles.
FEATURES
Core Channel Logic
- SSL Up: plots MA(High) in bearish state, MA(Low) in bullish — dynamic resistance/support
- SSL Down: plots the opposing band for clear visual separation
- Close MA output for additional trend confluence overlay
- Supports all cTrader moving average types (SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, etc.)
ATR Envelope
- Adds an ATR-based buffer around SSL bands to filter noise-driven false flips
- State flips only when close crosses MA(High/Low) by more than ATR × Multiplier
- ATR Upper and ATR Lower bands rendered as separate outputs for visual reference
- In Trendline mode, ATR bands are drawn as trendline objects — smooth, not stair-stepped
- In Interpolated mode, ATR values are linearly interpolated across LTF bars matching SSL behavior
- Configurable ATR period and multiplier
Bar Coloring
- Recolors chart candles based on current SSL state — green for bullish, red for bearish
- Fully configurable bull and bear colors
- Toggle on/off without affecting SSL band outputs
Multi-Timeframe Modes
- None: standard single-timeframe calculation on the current chart
- Interpolated: HTF values linearly mapped onto LTF bars for a smooth continuous overlay
- ScaledPeriod: scales the period by HTF-to-LTF ratio — no extra data series required
- Trendline: draws chart trendline objects between HTF bar boundaries with full style control
Timeframe Resolution
- DefaultTimeframe: manually select any HTF from the parameter dropdown
- TimeframePattern: auto-selects the nearest higher timeframe from a comma-separated token list (e.g.,
m5, m15, h1, h4, D1, W, M) - Pattern tokens support minutes (m1–m45), hours (h1–h12), days (d1–d3), weekly (W), and monthly (M)
Trendline Mode Extras
- Independent color, thickness, and style control per output line
- Projection segment extends the last HTF segment one bar forward for anticipation
- History limited to 100 segments for clean chart performance
Full Customization
- Configurable MA type and period
- Per-output line style inherited by trendline objects in Trendline mode
- Clean fallback to current timeframe when HTF ≤ chart timeframe
