Reference any indicator by name in a query: `RSI(14)`, `the 200 EMA`, `MACD histogram`. The engine
computes it for you, aligned to your strategy's timeframe. There are 200+ indicators plus 61
candlestick patterns.

## Channels and stops

Five classic overlays draw **more than one line**, so name the one you mean. For example "the lower
Donchian band", "the alligator's lips", "the chandelier exit":

| Indicator | Name it as | Lines you can reference | Defaults |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Donchian Channel | `donchian_channel` | `upper`, `middle`, `lower` | 20 bars, current bar included |
| Moving Average Envelope | `ma_envelope` | `upper`, `middle`, `lower` | SMA 20, ±2.5% |
| Chandelier Exit | `chandelier_exit` | `long`, `short` | 22 bars, 3 × ATR |
| Chande Kroll Stop | `chande_kroll_stop` | `long`, `short` | 10 bars, 1 × ATR, smoothed 9 |
| Williams Alligator | `williams_alligator` | `jaw`, `teeth`, `lips` | 13/8/5, displaced 8/5/3 |

Two things worth knowing. A Donchian channel includes the current bar, so "breaks above the
20-bar high" is a break of the *previous* bars' high and compiles to the swing-high breakout,
while the channel itself is the level a pullback retests. And "a chandelier stop 3 ATR below
the highest high" is an ATR trailing stop; the `chandelier_exit` line is for conditions such
as "exit when the close crosses below the chandelier exit".

## Suite composites

Eleven multi-model studies, each ported line-by-line from its original Pine source. Unlike a
plain indicator these compute **several named series at once**, so you pick the one you mean:

| Indicator | Name it as | Series you can reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AHSM | `ahsm` | `direction`, `stop`, `hma_exit`, `buy`, `sell`, `tp_long`, `tp_short`, `momentum_long`, `momentum_short` |
| WT-X | `wt_x` | `wt`, `signal`, `histogram`, `buy`, `sell`, `bull_div`, `bear_div` (+ regular / hidden pairs) |
| Fourier RSI | `frsi` | `frsi`, `signal`, `ma`, `upper`, `lower`, `extreme`, divergence flags |
| TPI | `tpi` | `tpi` (−1…1), `alert` |
| Impulsive Candles | `impulsive_candles` | `signal` (signed tier −3…3), `tier`, `bull`, `bear`, per-tier flags |
| Squeeze Pro | `squeeze_pro` | `position`, `squeeze`, `win_rate` |
| Swing Structure | `swing_structure` | `trend`, `bos`, `msb`, `swing_high`, `swing_low` |
| ADMRS | `admrs` | `score` (five models averaged), `up_trend`, `down_trend`, confirmed pairs |
| BB Percent Suite | `bbpct` | `bbpct`, `ob`, `os` |
| FSVZO | `fsvzo` | `fsvzo`, `signal`, `histogram`, `ma`, bands, divergence flags |
| Rolling VWAP | `rolling_vwap` | `vwap` and five band pairs: `upper1`…`upper3`, `lower1`…`lower3` |

Just say which series you mean in plain English: "when AHSM flips long", "buy the squeeze
breakout", "when price reclaims the rolling VWAP", "on a break of structure". The parser picks
the right one.

<Callout variant="info" title="Stops and targets">
  AHSM and Rolling VWAP are price-scale, so you can anchor a stop or a target to them directly
  "stop at the AHSM trailing stop", "target the rolling VWAP upper 2-sigma band". The rest are
  oscillators; use them as a signal exit instead.

## Custom indicators

Your own indicators are first-class here too. Author a Pine v6 study or upload a CSV, save it, and
reference it in a query with an `@`-tag: `@"My Osc"`, or `@"My Sheet:signal"` for a named plot or
column. They combine with operators exactly like a built-in. See
[create a custom indicator](/docs/guides/custom-indicators) and
[using @-tags](/docs/reference/entry-exit#custom-indicators--tags).

Combine indicators with [operators](/docs/reference/operators) to build entry and exit
conditions.
