ATR stop and threshold value

30 mar 2019

One can use the average true range for both entries and stops. A possible way to reduce false breakouts is to enter (say) at 0.5 * atr above the breakout level. Then you could use a 1.0*atr for a stop setting. This indicator allows you to set entries and stops for both long and short setups directly on the chart. I use it with breakout systems as it allows me to easily setup my trades.
