Is there a way to use trailing stops based on volatility (ATR) in Tradestation? I was wondering how to program this ?. Appreciate your insights.

Tradestation has a Trailing ATR strategy pre-built. Look for Trailing ATR LX and Trailing ATR SX strategies. For example -> ATR Trailing LX (Strategy)

Thank you Eric. I wonder if there is a way to use this inside the Matrix ?. I usually trade and set the stops inside the Matrix.

That's a good question...I would think you could build an indicator that would show the ATR Trailing stop and have it display in the matrix but I'm not sure how you would do that.
