Title: Adaptive Flow Ratchet - The Intelligent Trailing Stop

Tired of being stopped out on a minor pullback only to watch the price explode in your analyzed direction? Have you ever given back most of the profits from a great trade because your stop was too wide when the trend lost steam?

The Adaptive Flow Ratchet by Dan Ferre is designed to solve exactly these problems. This is more than a trailing stop; it's a trade management system that adapts in real-time to the true strength of the market.

Two Exclusive Innovations:

1. The "Ratchet" Mechanism (Forced Discipline): The indicator plots a support (Green) or resistance (Red) line that functions as a moving stop. The key advantage is that this line only moves in your favor. It "locks in" your profits with each new step the trend makes, giving you the discipline needed to ride major moves without exiting prematurely due to fear or indecision.

2. The "Adaptive Flow" Brain (The Intelligence): This is the true revolution. Unlike a fixed ATR Stop, the "Ratchet" has a brain that analyzes 3 market forces in real-time to determine the optimal distance for your stop:

• Momentum: The speed and acceleration of the price.

• Volatility Expansion: The market's energy "explosion".

• Volume Flow: The institutional "fuel" behind the move.

The Practical Result in Your Trading:

• In Strong, Healthy Trends: The Ratchet automatically moves the stop further away from the price, giving your trade more room to breathe and avoiding being whipsawed on healthy corrections.

• In Weak or Fading Trends: The Ratchet tightens the stop closer to the price aggressively, protecting your profits and getting you out before a sharp reversal.

Who is this indicator for? It's the definitive tool for traders who want to follow trends more professionally, combining a clear exit rule with a risk management system that adapts to the market's real, multi-faceted behavior.

Stop using static stops in a dynamic market. Let the Adaptive Flow Ratchet manage your trades with the intelligence you need to maximize your profits. Get your license and level up your trade management today!
