ATR based dynamic Target/Stop settings

Feature RequestRisk ToolsIndicatorsTrading

Hey,

Because the volatility changes all the time, I find the fixed stop / loss settings challenging. I think it would be great if they changed dynamically based on ATR and you could see the current values somewhere in the chart tab.

    Advanced ATR Indicator

    I would like to see an advanced ATR Indicator with following features.
    Show on chart the Value from any Timeframe, in my example I used the D (daily timeframe)
    Give the option to multiply the ATR value from the current chart, in my example I used times 1 to see the current ATR value and times 2.

    It would free up space under the chart for traders who use the ATR Indicator.

    Contract Risk Controls based on ATR

    I would be very helpful to add a risk feature to Topstep X

    that could limit the amount of contracts based on the markets current ATR per instrument. For example, if my risk is set at a specific % of my account size and the the optimal amount of contracts based on and ATR between 6-10 is is 3 Micro E-minis then the risk settings wont allow me to trade above 3 micro e-minis until ATR drops to 5 ATR or below. These settings could be set by the trader.

    Automatic ATR stop loss based on entry

    I would like to see a feature that allows traders to automatically set a stop loss order immediately upon entry that is based on the indicator ATR (Average true range)

    Calculating and placing a stop loss order based on the ATR can be hard to calculate at times when scalping and it would be very convenient to have a feature which takes the current ATR (time of trade entry) and auto sets it at 2.5x the ATR value below/above entry.

    Bonus points if the trader can customize the risk parameters. For example changing the stop loss of the ATR from 1.5x or 2.0x the ATR value. Thanks! :)

      Indeed, for me it's an indispensable option.

    Optional ATR SL/TP in Risk settings

    Please add an optional ATR in the Risk settings category in settings. Instead of it only being 1 option of a fixed stop loss and take profit. Would be nice if the stop loss and take profit could be calculated by a pre defined ATR amount, 1.5x ATR for Stoploss, 3x ATR for profit.. Ect.
    Please and Thank you.
