The video explains what the ATR indicator is, how to read it correctly, and three ways to use it for creating objective rules in a trading strategy. The ATR measures the average of the last 14 candles printed on a chart, and its value helps traders to be dynamic with their stops and targets. The ATR is read in the same way as a currency pair, with the fourth decimal being the ones and the third one being the tens. Using the ATR for stop and target placement is a common objective rule for creating dynamic strategies that win more and lose less.
