ATR-Trailing (ATR-T)

ATR-Trailing (ATR-T) 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.
