[amibroker] Re: ATR based Stop

Try starting with something like this. You might want to limit the 
trades when the ATR is lower than some threshold value. This would 
indicate a sideways or shallow channel with small bars. I assume you 
want to take a position when the market starts to move or becomes 
more volatile. 

// ATR lookback

pATR = Param("ATR period", 15, 2, 50, 1);

fATR 	= ATR(pATR);
fHHV 	= HHV(H, pATR);
fLLV	= LLV(L, pATR);

Buy 	= H >= fLLV + 3 * fATR; // you can try C rather than H
Sell 	= L <= fHHV - 3 * fATR; // you can try C rather than L 

Plot(fATR, "ATR", colorBlack);

PlotShapes(Buy  * shapeUpArrow,   colorGreen);
PlotShapes(Sell * shapeDownArrow, colorRed);
