    hi Matt---sorry to bother ---  I`ve asked this before about the ATR settings which you shared for TOS  atr period  9    and   atr factor 2.9  it then says  first trade =long   average type =  exponential  but i consistantly get different numbers  

    i also noticed this morning that your BPT charts  were from tradestation however the only atr indicator they have is not relevant to what you  show in your chart-- is that a proprietary tool of  yours or can you guide me to where i can find it on tradestation as i use both systems ???   thanks--all else is good -great education every night.

    ATR trailing stop indicators are

    ATR trailing stop indicators are very common on charting platforms.  However we've had a lot of trouble getting the Tradestation version of the ATR to match on other platforms at times.  My programmer told  me that the function TS uses is different from other places.  He was able to mostly get it matching on places like Ninja Trader. However the problem is the default function that places use to calculate. We found that you couldn't just use the default ATR trailing stop indicator at other places, you had to re-write the underlying function or at least something like that. That's me trying to recall, I can ask him to clarify later but yes most likely the default ATR on TOS will not match TS basically when using the same ATR length settings
