Owen,

Found the reference in Tushar Chande's "The New Technical Trader",
p.172, ch.7, section titled "Anticipating Prices for a Risk Control
Plan".  It is pretty much as I wrote, but note that these are target
prices for the next day, they are not profit targets.  Chande also
mentions that you could use
ATR-10 instead of A if you wish, and speaks of "some multiple of A".
IOW, experiment and see what works for you.
