Why use ATR stops?

Fixed % stops get shaken out when volatility rises. ATR-based stops adapt to current range.

Common multiples are 1–3×: tighter at 1, looser at 3, chosen per asset and timeframe.

How to use

  1. Choose long or short.
  2. Enter the entry price, ATR and stop multiple (default 1.5).
  3. Click Calculate to see the stop price.

Formula

  • Long Stop = Entry − ATR × Multiple
  • Short Stop = Entry + ATR × Multiple

Example

Entry 100, ATR 2, multiple 1.5 → long stop 97, short stop 103.

At multiple 3 the long stop is 94.
