Volatility Strategy

ATR Trailing Stop

Average True Range (ATR) exits are the industry standard for volatility-adjusted profit taking. Unlike fixed percentage stops, the ATR exit moves with the market's 'breath', tightening during low volatility and expanding to avoid premature exits during high volatility.

Execution Logic

  • 1
    Calculate 14-period ATR on current timeframe.
  • 2
    Set exit trigger at 2.5x ATR from the current price.
  • 3
    Move the trigger up as price makes new highs (Trailing).
  • 4
    Exit when price touches the ATR boundary.

Why it works

Removes the 'Just one more tick' anxiety by automating the exit based on mathematically defined market noise.
