ATR Dow Theory

1 160
Because we built this engine using the Average True Range (ATR) instead of static percentages, the script natively "auto-scales" to whatever timeframe you are looking at.

An ATR on a 5-minute chart might be 15 points, while an ATR on a Daily chart might be 300 points. The multiplier simply says: "Wait for a move equal to X candles."

Because of this, your settings don't need wild adjustments, but you do need to tighten the multipliers on the massive macro timeframes (Weekly/Monthly) because a 10x ATR drop on a Monthly chart would mean the economy is literally collapsing before the script fires!

Here is the professional calibration cheat sheet for your Dow Engine:

1. The Recommended ATR Settings
Intraday Day-Trading (5m / 15m / 1hr)

ATR Length: 14 (Standard smoothing)

Minor (): 1.5 (Filters out 1-candle fakeouts)

Secondary {}: 4.0 (Catches the main intraday morning/afternoon waves)

Primary []: 10.0 (Maps the dominant trend of the entire week)

Swing Trading (Daily Chart)

ATR Length: 14

Minor (): 1.5 (A quick 1-2 day breather)

Secondary {}: 3.5 (A standard week-long pullback)

Primary []: 8.0 (The core macro Bull/Bear market tide)

Macro Investing (Weekly Chart)

ATR Length: 14

Minor (): 1.0 (Weekly candles are huge; 1 ATR is enough to show a minor bend)

Secondary {}: 3.0 (A multi-week correction)

Primary []: 6.0 (A massive structural bear market)

Generational Holding (Monthly Chart)

ATR Length: 14

Minor (): 1.0

Secondary {}: 2.0

Primary []: 4.0 (If a monthly chart drops 4x its average range, the decade-long trend is over).




Using Acronyms (PBUS, SBES, etc.) combined with a Horizontal Watermark Line turns these shift points into incredibly valuable, ongoing Support and Resistance levels without cluttering your candlesticks.

Here is exactly how I adjusted the engine based on logic:

The Acronyms: I programmed the engine to strictly use the 4-letter codes you designed.

P (Primary), S (Secondary), M (Minor)

BU (Bullish), BE (Bearish)

S (Shift)

PBUS is PRIMARY BULLISH SHIFT
SBES IS SECONDARY BEARISH SHIFT
MBUS is MINOR BULLISH SHIFT
