Indicators — ATR BE Assistant

The regime switch on your chart.

On-chart doctrine

Management rules, made visible.

Instead of remembering the doctrine, the trader sees it: current ATR regime state, the applicable break-even level, and the management structure the branch demands. Out-of-session conditions default to Normal handling — session awareness is built into the switch.

  • Normal / out-of-session: BE @ 1:1.4, static 2R runner structure.
  • Trend + in-session: BE @ 1:1.6, ATR trailing (typically ×1.5 volatility-adjusted).
  • Feeds the pre-entry branch decision — the trade's identity is set before the position exists.

Further illustration

MARS treats confluence as evidence quality: when independent structures - wave counts, higher-timeframe levels, volatility posture - converge on the same zone, the setup earns a higher evidence grade and access to fuller deployment. Isolated signals remain tradeable but are sized as the weaker evidence they are.

Independent structures resolving to the same point. One wave is an opinion; agreement between unrelated structures is a signal.

Use cases

Where it earns its place

  • ▸Overlay on the execution timeframe for the tactical switch; dashboard on the 1H for the strategic backdrop.
  • ▸Alert wiring: TREND ON → “switch to 1:1.6”, TREND OFF → “switch to 1:1.4” — the flip pings you, you never hunt for it.
  • ▸k at 1.20 is the balanced default; 1.10–1.15 calls more TRENDs, 1.30+ admits only the strongest.

Edge cases & failure modes

Where it can mislead

  • !Overlay TREND while the HTF dashboard stays NORMAL = fragile breakout — trade smaller or pass; both TREND is the only full-conviction state.
  • !In consolidation the chart-TF overlay will flash brief TREND blips on 5m volatility spikes; the flat dashboard is what exposes them as noise.
  • !Baseline K here is a regime-trigger threshold (ATR SMA × k) — it is NOT an ATR trailing-stop coefficient; conflating the two corrupts both systems.

Operator briefs on this territory.

Deep dive — 01

The binary switch: Normal or Trend, decided before anything else volatility says.

One binary read routes everything: Normal → BE 1.4R and static 2R. Trend → BE 1.6R and the trail.

Deep dive — 02

Checked ON: why the trail must actually obey the coefficient.

One checkbox decides whether the volatility model runs the trail or decorates it. The doctrine is ON.

How ATR coefficients and the authority timeframe anchor stops and break-even moves to actual conditions.
