FAQ
Average True Range (ATR) measures the average daily price range of an instrument over a period (typically 14 days). It is a volatility indicator — higher ATR means more volatile, requiring wider stops.
Day traders often use 1.5x–2x ATR. Swing traders use 2x–3x. Using less than 1x ATR often leads to stop-outs from normal market noise rather than actual trend reversals.
ATR (14) is available on TradingView, Zerodha Kite charts, Upstox charts, and most charting platforms. Look for "ATR" in the indicators section and use the 14-period default.
Fixed stops ignore market volatility. An ATR stop adapts — it widens in volatile markets (avoiding whipsaws) and tightens in calm markets (capturing more profit).
