Hi everyone

This is a lovely example of when you could use the trailing ATR (Average True Range) stop to determine your exit from a trade.

The FTSE 100 cash 5 min. chart...a standard TS1 sell set-up; stopping in a resistance zone; red sell bar; more than +2x risk/reward potential at the 1st profit target...

As a TS1 set-up, we might expect the trade to exceed its first targets (possible strong Wave 3 down)...

The ATR stop exits the trade with a superb +7.2x profit.

Thanks

Tony.
