ATR-AP
📌 ATR-AP Strategy (Average True Range - Average Price)
Automated Dollar-Cost Averaging with Volatility Protection
A smart trading algorithm that dynamically adjusts orders based on market volatility (ATR), lowering your average entry price while minimizing drawdowns.
⚙️ How It Works
Core Position (e.g., 50% of total volume):
Executed as limit or market order (user's choice)
Drawdown Trigger (e.g., 10% drop):
Activates the protective grid system
Permissible drawdown (e.g., 5% drop)
turns off the protective grid system
ATR Period (e.g., 1d-period):
Determines spacing between grid orders
Risk Profile:
Aggressive: 5 paired orders (90% take-profit)
Moderate: 7 orders (90% take-profit)
Conservative: 10 orders (90% take-profit)
When triggered, the system automatically deploys a grid of:
Stop-market entry orders
Stop-limit take-profit orders
ATR-based spacing between levels
📌 Example: Buying TON with ATR-AP
Initial Setup:
Current price: $3.30
Total volume: 1000 TON
Settings:
Core position: 50% (500 TON)
Drawdown trigger: 20%
Permissible drawdown : 5%
ATR(1d): $0.1
Profile: Aggressive (5 orders)
Scenario:
Core order executes: 500 TON @ $3.30
Price drops 20% to $2.64 → trigger activates
System places 5 grid levels with $0.10 spacing:
1
$2.64
$2.74
71 TON
64 TON
2
$2.75
$2.85
71 TON
64 TON
3
$2,86
$2.87
71 TON
64 TON

balancing continues until the threshold drawdown is reached
Outcomes:
If price rebounds from $2.64:
Multiple buy orders execute
Average price improves
Profit automatically locked at each level
If decline continues:
System stops after 5 levels (risk control)
