Updated ATR Stop Buffer

The ATR Stop Buffer indicator calculates the Daily Average True Range (ATR) and converts it into ticks based on the symbol's minimum price movement. It then displays the full ATR, 2% of ATR, and 10% of ATR in a clean table format, rounded up for simplicity. This tool is ideal for traders who want to set volatility-based stop-loss levels or buffers for their trades.
Key Features:
- Uses a 14-period Daily ATR for robust volatility measurement.
- Converts ATR into ticks for precise application across different instruments.
- Table display with toggle option for flexibility.
- Perfect for risk management and trade planning.
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Use the table values to adjust your stop-loss distances (e.g., 2% ATR for tight stops, 10% ATR for wider buffers).
3. Toggle the table off if you only need the values occasionally.
Note: Works best on instruments with defined tick sizes (e.g., futures, forex, stocks).
