ATR-based stops: what multiple do you use, and on which time frame?

Using average true range to set stop distance is common, but the details vary a lot. Some traders use 1× daily ATR, some 2× on the 4-hour chart, others a swing level plus half an ATR.

Share what you use and how you got there:

• the ATR period and time frame
• the multiple, and whether you trail the stop
• how changing the multiple affected your win rate and average loss when you tested it

It's especially useful to hear from anyone who tested several multiples on the same set of trades. The ATR guide has a worked example of turning an ATR stop into a position size.
