They told us to avoid low ADX.

Turns out... that's exactly where the real edge hides.

📉 SHORTS → ADX > 30 = confirmation
📈 LONGS → low ADX = real edge

Low ADX signals coiled volatility.

It’s not chop. It's a buildup.

So we built our model breakout strategy using:

• Volatility = open–low difference
• Breakout level = low + (3.3 × volatility)
• Stop entries only
• Entry filter: 8am–3pm
• Exit: when ADX > 40 or after time limit

This flip gave us a consistent edge in markets most traders avoid.

I’ve tested hundreds of indicators across thousands of strategies.

But one tool keeps showing up in my best-performing systems:

✅ Average True Range (ATR)

It’s simple.
It’s powerful.
And it’s one of the most versatile indicators I use in my hedge fund.

Here are 3 ways to unlock its full potential:

ATR for Entries

✔️Pick a POI (Point of Initiation).
✔️Multiply ATR by 2.5 (or your own factor).
✔️That’s your breakout entry - precise, adaptive, and fast to implement.

ATR as a Filter

✔️Compare two ATR periods to detect volatility shifts.
✔️Filter out weak setups.
✔️This small tweak can radically improve your equity curve.

ATR for Exits

✔️Flip the logic you used for entry.
✔️Use ATR to calculate dynamic stop loss levels.
✔️Simple math that protects real capital.

With ONE indicator, you can build entry logic, risk filters, and exit rules.
That’s a complete strategy driven by volatility, built to scale.

No clutter. No guessing. Just process.

Here’s the video where I break everything down how we use ATR to structure entries, filter out noise, and manage exits with real volatility logic.
Here’s the free resource I promised. Straightforward, practical, and ready to use.
