Hi  ,   isa   , you did a  Great work !  
          
  In  Example #1 - Abbott Laboratories (ABT) ,  i understand  investor's and trader's stop from your descrtion . but  i am confused by Atr distance to stops   .  
"   
 For ABT the ATR(200) was 0.809 at the time of the recommendation and so:
1.87% to 3.10% ATR - Trader stop range
3.72% to 4.96% ATR - Investor stop range  
"  
   how do you get 
  "1.87% to 3.10% ATR - Trader stop range
 3.72% to 4.96% ATR - Investor stop range  
 
 could you give me more detailed information about this ?

I was trying to see the typical distances that Stan was using for his stop losses based on the Average True Range. So I used the 200 dya ATR to measure each stop loss he gave to get a rough idea.

So in the example above where it says 1.87% to 3.10% ATR - Trader stop range. That means that the stop loss range given was 1.87x to 3.10x the 200 day ATR value at the time. which was 0.809.

1.87 x 0.809 = 1.51283
3.10 x 0.809 = 2.5079

Therefore as he recommended a buy zone of 56-57 and a Trader Stop Loss of 54.49
56 - 1.51283 = 54.49 (so this was 1.87x the 200 day ATR from the lower end of the buy zone)
57 - 2.5079 = 54.49 (and this was 3.10x the 200 day ATR from the upper end of the buy zone)

I hope that helps

   Thanks . 

  I plan to go throuth all these stop loss examples .  and perhaps  I  can discuss them later .
