What is the Average True Range?
The Average True Range (ATR) is a volatility indicator that shows how much a stock’s price moves, on average, during each period (often 14 days). When ATR is high, expect larger price swings; when it’s low, the market is quiet. Traders use ATR to set stop-losses and judge when to expect breakouts or reversals. For you, understanding ATR can help manage risk and avoid getting caught off guard by sudden moves, especially in choppy markets.
