What ATR measures
Average True Range, created by J. Welles Wilder, measures how much a market typically moves in one period, gaps included. It does not say which way prices are heading, only how big the swings are. A rising ATR means the market is getting more volatile; a falling ATR means it is calming down.
Using ATR for stop losses
Many traders set a stop loss a multiple of ATR away from their entry, often 1.5 or 2 times, so normal day-to-day noise is less likely to knock them out. Pairing an ATR-based stop with a position size calculator keeps the money at risk the same even when volatility changes.
