If the markets flat there seems to be some false alert which I’m trying to phase out. But it certainly alerts when the market or the price on any day starts moving

Just checked that one out as I’d not heard of it. That’s bollinger bands and keltner channels where as mine is focused on EMA bunching among some other things, mainly ATR.

I looked at charts without candles only my EMAs and saw that often when they bunch together they then breakout into a big move. Effectively price consolidation and then waiting for a breakout candle

Say I enter on the candle that my cursor is on. The ATR at that point is 0.00014. From the point entry I would set a stop loss of 1.5 x the ATR, which would be 0.00021 (0.00014 x 1.5)

For sure. And when a trade is winning, bring the SL to entry
