About this tool
ATR 14 is the average true range of the last 14 daily bars. In price units = the percentage × the current price. Volatility percentile: the share of the past year’s 252 days on which that percentage was at or below today’s; under 25 is low, over 75 is high.
Volatility describes the size of the moves, not their direction. It is useful for choosing a stop distance and a position size.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use ATR with a stop?
A stop closer than one day’s ATR can be reached by ordinary daily movement. The position size and risk/reward calculators start with a stop at 1.5 × the hourly ATR as a reference, not a recommendation.
