Stop loss line:

We draw two stop loss as per below logic:

When a Sell price action candle or bearish pin bar is formed, high of that candle is marked as stoploss. This line needs to be checked at close of each candle and need to redraw till trade is active. This stoploss line is called End of day stoploss.

When a Sell  price action candle or bearish pin bar is formed, Intraday stoploss is calculated as “High of bullish pin bar candle or high of sell price action candle” + n times of ATR value of last closed candle) n here is input

Stoploss logic Execution.

When a candle is closed above End of day stoploss or when a price reach is intraday stoploss , whichever happens first is stoploss.
