ATR-T (ATR-Trailing) is used to get better entry and exit points.
When buying, it makes it possible to aim for a lower entry price than strategy criteria would otherwise realize. When selling, it allows for higher profits, while locking in profits while trailing areas move up along with the price.

To activate ATR-T you must specify an ATR-T buy and/or sell multiplier and activate ATR Trailing Buy and/or ATR Trailing Sell.
If you want to activate ATR-T, go to the settings under “Indicators & ATR Trailing” of the desired pair on the Trading Settings page. Then scroll down to the “ATR Trailing” section.
