How to Use ATR Indicator to Set Stoploss

Have you ever put on a trade only to watch the market hit your stop loss, and then continue moving in your expected direction?
It sucks, right?
And that’s because your stop loss is “too tight”.
So, what’s the solution?
Give your trade room to breathe.
This means your stop loss should be wide enough to accommodate the daily swings of the market.
Now you’re probably wondering:
“But how much is wide enough?”
Well, you can use the ATR indicator and I'll share more details in this video.
So go check it out.
Thanks for watching!

  • @mickaels-g1479

    Hi Rayner, I was wondering two things... 1. Do you put the stop order in your broker (so that it can be seen and triggered by market makers) or do you work with mental stops and manual monitoring, so that the stop loss is not just triggered and the move reverses straight away? 2. If you put the order in the broker, could you let me know until what position size that idea might work? ie, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking positions of $50,000 or $100,000 and leaving an pending stop loss to be seen by market makers, would you in that situation do it? or mental stops better in that case? Thank you!!

  • @TheNappyboy40
    @TheNappyboy407 жыл бұрын

    Hi Rayner, quick question: One stoploss technique you mentioned as well is to put it in a location where your initial trading idea is invalidated - where the invalidated area should be where the stoploss is placed. Is there a specific time where you would use the ATR indicator instead of the Invalidation area? Or is this another technique where it bores down to the trader's trading style? Thanks, Nappy.
