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!

Hahha...can understand :D . On a separate note, I hate the overuse of the term "Friends", "Fraands" and "Doston" by the "not-so-cool Indian youtubers" who aren't eductated enough to understand how irritating that is. Just say friends once and don't say it again.
Thank You for this video, I really appreciate it.
thank you for this Rayner Teo
Clearly and well communicated
Great Video Rayner, thanks very much. Do you know how to use ATR and Pip in the stock market price? Instead of counting in pips, so you count it in let's say cents per increment?
Thanks a lot, Rayner.
Hi, Great video!!! Any idea about to set take profit? What the setting of the ma in your chart? Thanks

Does this ATR stop loss working for you?
this was very helpful thank you.
Rayner, from the examples you used in the video on how to read the ATR, so you only look at the first two numbers?
I watch your video regularly. In fact I learnt price action strategy from your videos and books. I would like to appreciate you taday, for this ATR concept. Which saved my 200$ worth of money which is as well as my Capitol. I follow your steps sincerely. Thanks.🙇🙇🙇
As the sl has to be placed when it invalidates the trade , I don’t get how the 2 ATR will invalidate ?
hi sir, how to set centre point of atr in gold chart??
Would 2x atr be enough considering spread? Or would you do a 2x the atr plus the spread? Thanks for your videos very much
great abbreviation ,, thank you
Hi, Can we consider 2 ATR as stop and 2.5 as profit target in 5 minutes time frame commodity day trading purposes ? Please advise.
Is 2 ATR recommended for scalping? Day trading?
Hi Rayner, is 2ATR the standard? How about if I use 1.5 ATR? thanks
Very useful video.
3:15 Your stop loss seems to be on a resistance are. Wouldn't it be better to adjust it accordingly so that it's just above it?
Did you achieve your large returns on usdjpy and oil by using atr on 4 hour timeframe - or daily chart? Thanks!!
Hi Reyner, tnx for a good and direct to the point tutorial for atr as stop loss. What atr level can you recommend for a swing trader that usually hold stocks not more than 2 weeks? Is 2 atr good as well?

Hi rayner. can we say 1 ATR is more aggressive ? and 0.5 ATR is too tight ?
is there math calculation of how many atr for different time frames such as ATR on daily or h1 ...
hi sir, does stop loss consist spread pips also?
Hi, thank you for the explanations of the ATR topic. What time range would you recommend to set the ATR indicator for trading stocks (swing trading) 9, 14, or maybe 20 days?
Well done
Hey Rayner. I've been watching and reading your ebook on trend following strategy using MA. Just one quick question. If I set a pending order, then it got hit. How do I go about setting my stop loss using ATR? Because I might not be infront of my screen during the order executed. Please advice. BTW love your vids and your ebook. Thanks for sharing great and easy to follow content.

you can use the time and price of the trade to look in the charts than set the sl accordingly

Thanks man
Hi Reyner, really good video. . One I want to ask is How about the spread? Do we need add the spread value, so it will be *ATR×2+spread ? Thanks Reyner. Billy.

Do you take trades with a risk/reward less than 1-1 due to the ATR? If so do you find this more profitable taking double the pips SL loosers??
Hi Rayner.....as I am watching your video's.....your entry in all videos all time in a exact support/resistance zone....how you enter with exact confirmation that it is final zone.?.(previous structure will help us to find us S/R zone..but how to get confirm it is not going to cross).......and how you take entry?

Can this strategy be used for stocks?
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!!

Love your vids sir Rayner. Question tho, why did you subtract the product of the ATR on the first chart but added the product of ATR on the second? Aren't stop losses supposed to be lower than your entry point?

Is your ATR stop loss working?
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.

Maybe a good choose for the ATR Stop would be if the invalidation Stop is too far away.

Dude, the formula is not that complicated. Just make a 30 second section with an explanation and offer viewers to skip ahead if they are not interested. But some are interested because the algebra makes it more clear what the indicator is doing
With, hey hey friends ?
not good idea to cut more losses
x2 the ATR doesnt make a logic.
