[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Using ATR for Volatility of Stocks

Paul,

Jim Berg did an article in the Feb 2005 issue of TASC on volatility 
and that be a good read for you.

The problem with an ATR is that it will not tell direction by 
itself. Most people tend to use the ATR as a multiplier of something 
else such as a moving average. You then either add or subtract the 
multiplier to give you a band above or below the price.

The idea of using the 10 and 50 might have some rewards if you 
subtract one from the other just like a MACD and then use the result 
as a multiplier.
