MDS / ATR
ATR - average true range
What it measures
A candle-range measure that includes gaps from the previous close. The period and timeframe must be specified. ATR14 on M30 and D1 are different quantities.
Why traders follow it
Do not confuse ATR with ADR. ADR averages daily High minus Low, while true range accounts for gaps. Neither ATR nor ADR predicts direction or caps future price movement.
Check the country, period and source. A single value or regime label does not determine a trade's direction.
