ATR Stop Loss Calculator FAQ
1What is ATR?
ATR (Average True Range) measures market volatility over a period (typically 14 or 20 days). Higher ATR means wider price swings and larger pip ranges.
2How do you use ATR for stop loss?
Multiply the ATR by a factor (typically 1.5x-3x) to get your stop distance. A 2x ATR stop on EUR/USD with 80-pip ATR would be 160 pips from entry.
3What ATR period should I use?
The 14-period ATR is the standard default and works well for most timeframes. Shorter periods (7-10) react faster to volatility changes, while longer periods (20-30) give smoother readings.
