Pr0fit Engine

Profit Engine — Signal, Entry, Stop and Three Targets on One Chart

A signal appears. Where is the entry? Where should risk be limited? Which targets should you monitor? How does the protective level change as price moves?

Profit Engine brings these reference points together in a clear visual trading plan. The indicator shows direction, plots Entry and Stop Loss levels, calculates three Take Profit targets, marks target touches and displays how the setup develops.

You do not need to draw every setup manually: the key levels and the latest setup status are already on your chart.

Everything You Need to Assess a Setup — in One View

Profit Engine combines several analytical tools:

• Adaptive trend channel — helps you assess market direction.
• LONG and SHORT signals — mark changes in direction according to the indicator’s rules.
• Entry, SL and TP1–TP3 — show the structure of each new setup.
• Entry protection and ATR trailing — track changes to the modeled stop after TP1.
• Dashboard — displays the current state and historical target-touch rates.

Consistent colors and labels connect these elements into one clear view: direction, distance to the protective level and target placement.

From a Signal to Specific Levels

After a new signal, Profit Engine automatically builds a level map for the latest setup:

• Entry — the modeled entry level based on the signal candle’s closing price.
• Stop Loss — the initial protective level beyond the opposite channel boundary, with an additional buffer.
• TP1, TP2 and TP3 — successive targets calculated from the distance between Entry and the initial stop.

The red zone highlights initial risk, while the target zones show potential movement in the signal’s direction. Price labels help you assess the levels without additional chart drawings.

Target distances are adjustable. The default settings are 0.5R, 1R and 1.5R, where R is the initial distance between entry and stop.

Follow the Setup Beyond the First Target

Reaching TP1 starts the next stage of the setup. When enabled, Profit Engine activates:

• Entry protection — moves the modeled stop toward the Entry level.
• ATR trailing — tightens the protective level as price moves favorably.
• Stop history — shows how the active protective level changed over time.

Labels such as BE, TRAIL, SL and TP1 CLOSE help explain what happened to the setup. A newly calculated stop takes effect from the next candle.

You can follow the complete sequence: signal, target touches, protection changes and setup completion.

Statistics You Can Read at a Glance

The dashboard displays:

• TREND — the channel’s direction.
• Last Signal — the latest LONG or SHORT signal.
• Setup — the latest setup’s status.
• Price Move — price change measured in the direction of the latest setup.
• TP1 Touched, TP2 Touched and TP3 Touched — the frequency with which each target was reached within a shared sample.

This helps you assess how often price reached different targets on the selected chart with your chosen settings.

TP Touched values are target-touch rates, not winning-trade percentages or account returns. The sample size is adjustable and defaults to 50 setups.

How the Indicator Works

Profit Engine is an analytical indicator with a visual setup-management model. It calculates and displays levels but does not place trading orders.

The closed-bar signal alert setting controls notification timing; it does not freeze the indicator’s calculations.

Reaching TP3 does not automatically close a setup. A new signal replaces the previous setup.

Statistics are based on recorded modeled setups and do not include commissions, position size or partial closures. Readings depend on the settings, price data and available instrument history.
