Chandelier Exit is a volatility based indicator created to help a trader stay in a trade until there is a definite trend reversal. We all know that by avoiding early exits we can get more returns in pips from each position. I hope using the Chandelier Exit indicator will help you with that.
Indicator Description
The Chandelier Exit indicator uses volatility based algorithms and the ATR – Average True Range and also provides a reliable trailing stop loss. All these help a trader stay in the trend as long as possible and avoid early exits. In addition to this, the indicator generates reliable entry points upon crossover of the indicator and price.
By adjusting the Average True Range multiplier, a trader can further customize the indicator to suit different trading instruments. As a result, this MetaTrader indicator provides all necessary inputs to trade the trend successfully.

How to trade with the Chandelier Exit Indicator
Entry signals of the Chandelier Exit indicator are simple and straightforward. You simply need to wait for the color change: appearance of an orange line means a BUY order while a magenta line indicates that you need to open a SELL order.
The stop loss level appears above the price during a downtrend. Oppositely, during an uptrend, the Chandelier exit indicator displays the stop loss level below the price.
The stop loss levels change according to the ATR values and the ATR multiplier used in the indicator parameters. The stop loss changes dynamically and helps the forex trader stay in the trend as long as possible. As a result, the trader can ride the trend until its exhaustion. The dynamic stop-loss also acts as a trailing stop loss level to protect an existing trade.

Hello, dear Oliver Murphy
What is the best time frame and the best symbol for QQE and Chandelier indicators?
I have downloaded and installed the indicator but I’m not so sure I understand the ATR part. What is the best ATR value for Forex? I trade the EURUSD pair.
I guess for the EURUSD pair you can use the default value
