If anybody is using the ATR stop indicator and EA the setting I have had great success thus far is with a 10 period 2.5 factor indicator/EA, and a 2 pip buffer on the EA. Dont forget to set the magic number to 0 so it will manage your manual trades. ...

My next venture for the future will to get a TRUE ATR stop indicator, much similar to the one I have now, and find an EA to go with it. Your EA has ATR already built in. Is this Wilder's actual equation? Here is a link to true ATR. I'm sure you ...

Maybe that's it. I didnt know what Magic number means. Thats the Ticket? So if its false it will manage any ticket without entering the #? That would be great. I'll try it out.

I downloaded the one you uploaded and on top of that I changed the 3 1000's that appear to 10000 but didnt change a thing. Indicator still works on other pairs, didnt break it, but for some ready XAUUSD still only has support for longs. Its 6 digit ...

It works wonderfully! I'm still dazzled with all the other settings from the template you had. There apparently was already an ATR trailing stop setting. Can you tell me does it work very similarly? I know this indicator is not a true ATR that I ...
