Known limitations

What this calculation does not know

  • ATR describes recent price range; it does not predict future volatility.
  • A stop order may execute beyond the selected price.
  • Technical support, liquidity, and instrument-specific rules are not assessed.
  • The output is a conversion of your rule, not an optimal-stop recommendation.
