What is ATR?

Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility. It shows how much an instrument typically moves over a given period. Using ATR for stop losses ensures your stop adapts to current market conditions.

ATR Multiplier Guide

Style Multiplier Best For
Scalping 1.0 - 1.5x Very short-term, tight stops
Day Trading 1.5 - 2.0x Intraday positions
Swing Trading 2.0 - 3.0x Multi-day positions

Why ATR-Based Stops?

Static pip stops fail because volatility changes. A 20-pip stop might work on EUR/USD during Asian session but get stopped out immediately during London open. ATR-based stops automatically adjust to current market conditions.

Risk Disclaimer

CFD trading involves significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. ATR is a lagging indicator and does not predict future volatility.
