ATR Stop Loss Calculator

The ATR Stop Loss Calculator is a risk management tool that helps traders determine precise stop loss levels based on the Average True Range (ATR), a widely used volatility indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. Rather than placing stop losses at arbitrary levels, this indicator anchors them to actual market volatility, ensuring your stop is proportional to how much the market is currently moving.

How it works

The indicator calculates the ATR over a configurable lookback period (default 14 candles) for each of the last 5 closed candles. Each candle is assigned an ID, where ID 1 represents the most recently closed candle and ID 5 the candle closed five bars ago. The ATR value of each candle is multiplied by a configurable multiplier (default 2.5) to produce the stop loss distance. This multiplier controls how much breathing room you give the trade relative to current volatility.

Stop loss calculation

Once you enter your entry price and select Buy or Sell, the indicator automatically calculates your stop loss price:

Buy trade: Entry price minus (ATR × multiplier)
Sell trade: Entry price plus (ATR × multiplier)
You select which candle ID to base your stop loss on, allowing you to reference the volatility at the exact candle where your setup occurred. An optional extra candle ID input lets you monitor any candle further back, such as candle 25, for additional reference.

How to use it
