Has this ever happened to you? You enter a trade and set your stop loss at the recent swing low. As if price drops below this point, you don't want to be in the trade anyway.
Price ends up falling past that recent swing low, but just barely, and ends up reversing back the way you originally thought it was going to go. Making you miss out on all this profit.
Well, here's how to fix that. Go to TradingView. Go to the indicators tab and type in ATR. What this indicator does is look at the past candles and measures the average volatility or size of the past candles. You can see that average candle size is displayed right here.
So what you do is see what the price is of where you want to set your stop loss, then subtract that number with the ATR. This number is where you will set your new stop loss. This way, you are taking volatility and average price movement into consideration. And you will get stopped out way less.
