The average daily trading range in the stock's own currency — a pure volatility gauge, often used to size stops.
How to read it
Use it for stop distance: a stop tighter than ~1.5×ATR sits inside normal daily noise and will be hit by chance.
Example
ATR = 2 SAR and you buy at 100: a stop at 99 is noise; 97 or wider respects the stock's real range.
