What is Average True Range?
How much a stock typically moves in a day
Full Explanation
ATR measures the average daily price range (high minus low) over a set period. It tells you how volatile a stock is on a typical day — useful for setting stop losses.
Pro Tip
A stock with ATR of $5 moves about $5/day on average. Size your trades accordingly.
