it
depends on your trading time frame but for short term swing trades I gravitate
towards atr(14). I use ATR to determine if the current move is inside or outside
of the stocks "comfort Zone". My pivot studies are done in DT and used for
target analysis, but your concept holds interesting possibilities. are you
suggesting a barcount setting from the last pivot point?
<SPAN

I have
not compared the approach to raff et al but they seem to be more suited as
support resistance indicators where the ATR study may better lead you towards a
hard or soft approach to one of the their violations.

<SPAN
class=905582116-18102002>Example Your Raff study shows you to be at or near a
resistance level. As the stock moves towards this study line you note that your
expected daily range could very well be several points outside that study line.
This might encourage you to take a "soft" approach to the Raff Signal. this is
all off the top of my head and deserves more thought.

Jayson:
What have you found are good period settings for
historical? Have you looked at using this from pivots as opposed to
intraday moves? Have you compared this approach to using Raff, std.
dev. and such? Just some thoughts as I have not followed
ATR intraday, but having been using the other
constructions.
Bill

the
KISS principal ! on my RT charts I take it a step further and
calculate the percentage of the days move as it relates to historical
percentage. this is very handy as at a glance I can see if the current move is
note worthy. ATR is a very powerful tool

Thanks for this
tip. I should have thought of it.
Like many good
ideas, it fairly simple to use and obvious once you see
it.

Of
course. Setting a 3% stop loss on a stock whose ATR is 5+% may very well
result in getting stopped out during the normal trading day. Setting your stop
loss to reflect a more realistic range for each stock will help keep you in
the trade. rather than a flat ATR number I like to relate atr to the stocks
trading price. (ATR/close)*100 will present a percentage reading of the ATR
where you will see the historical daily percentage price swing of the stock.
this may be useful for determining your stop. when tied to visible
support/resistance levels you may better judge the viability of a given
trade......
