What is ATR (Average True Range)?
ATR measures how much a market typically moves per bar — a gauge of volatility.
ATR averages each bar's true range over a period (often 14). Traders use it to size stops to current conditions: wide stops in volatile markets, tighter ones in quiet markets.
EXAMPLE
If NQ's 5-minute ATR is 12 points, a 4-point stop is likely to be hit by normal noise.
