ATR% represents the implied volatility range of a stock from open to close, calculated using the past 14 days of data (as I use ATR-14 by default).ATR multiple builds on ATR% by quantifying extension levels as multiples from the 50-MA, serving as a measurable gauge of price extensions. Each security has a historical ATR multiple at which it tends to retrace, though I don’t interpret this as a "short" signal. Instead, I advocate using it as a signal to sell further into strength or avoid initiating new/add entries. I also utilize ATR multiples from the 50-MA as a measure for broad market indices, assessing technical headwinds versus tailwinds to determine whether to take on risk or hold positions and wait.Some swing traders profit from $100B+ market cap stocks using a 20-MA sell rule, while

What is your opinion on staggered buying? Like buying 50% at the pivot and the rest when the trade starts to work in your favour.the idea is good but the implementation is not easy. I have went through such exercise for a short period during 2020 covid lockdown and it will require increase screentime/sitting hours which often is not ideal or productive.the design of entry/stop has to be first angled based on your win rate %. if you win rate is low, you need to focus on the stops exit to reduce the R loss within a trade. I don't know how to further emphasis the significance of reducing a -1R loss into -0.5 to -0.7R on the same idea. If you have account size that equate 1R to $1,000, 30% reduction in R loss for 100 trade is $30,000. Imagine a per month trade frequency of 50 trades, that's $1

Earnings Gap-Up Failure with an Immediate 10x ATR% Extension from the 50-MA (eg. $Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd(CRDO)$ $Dutch Bros Inc.(BROS)$ $United Natural(UNFI)$ $Carvana Co.(CVNA)$)I’ve strongly advocated against trading into a strong gap-up extending to 10x ATR% above the 50-MA on the immediate post earnings session. Lessons learned have shown that it’s far more rewarding to wait for a post-earnings continuation base setup, which offers a better risk-reward entry even when fueled by a strong earnings beat catalyst (a "stock in play" as PradeepBonde describes). For every 1 of such play that worked (eg.
