Re: Trailing stops vs that other way

momentom - I've never done much with the ATR. Could you explain further what you use here and how it's used. When I threw what I found on MultiCharts (Study > Average True Range) I was given the option for the ATRLength and AlertLength. I assume the Alert is just some sort of alert when a certain level is reached. And the default setting is a line at the bottom of the chart, similar to a stochastics type line.

Just curious how you use this for trailing stop purposes as I am always looking to improve on this part of my trading.
