Besides that use print statements in your code to print the values of the stop at each bar to the output. This way you can track down the values used in your code and know why the...

Re: How to get a value for an ATR stop?

ABC,

When you look at my example the stop i want is 115 but the next bar can open at 118 or higher and my trade wil be closed at 118 or higher while my stop is 115.
I don't want to wait for the next bar.
So how can i set the stoploss at 115 using averagetruerange?

Regards,
Erik
