Advanced Trend Reversals – An Explanation
What is an Advanced Trend Reversals (ATR)?
The ATR is a “Golden” level with a very high probability statistically with an accuracy rate of almost 80% of the time for the market to change its course of direction almost immediately either from Bullish [going up ] or to Bearish [going down], and to have a follow-through in price action to that direction.
The bias of the algorithm would remain as long as that the proprietary indicator has not been penetrated through e.g. it would remain Bearish as long as the Market has not closed ABOVE the Indicator Level, and it would remain Bullish as long as the market has not closed BELOW the indicator level.
The ATR report is an extremely dynamic proprietary indicator, the report is generated after the close of the NYSE and the NASDAQ.
The report covers the top U.S. stocks including the FAANG stocks, these are the most active stocks on NASDAQ
the companies that belong to FAANG are:
FB – FaceBook
AAPL – Appl Inc
AMZN – Amazon.com, Inc.
NFLX – Netflix, Inc.
GOOG – Alphabet Inc.
As you can see the group FAANG is self-explanatory!

Explanation
The ATR report will generate a price level and a bias either “Bearish” showing that the direction of the market would be “Down” or a “Bullish” trend showing that the direction of the market is “Up”.
The significance of the Advanced Trend Reversal Price Level is that the level where the market would change its the course of direction (meaning would change from) Bearish to Bullish, or the other way around Bullish to Bearish if the price level of the markets changes the course of direction.
To clarify the table above , on the close of business date Dec 26th 2018 , the ATR has generated a BULLISH signal for trade date Dec 27th 2018 , on AMZN Stock, its core position is SHORT since Dec 12th2018 from $1,680.60 as shown, which means, the Stock has to penetrate and close above the Bullish Signal at $1,460.14 to change from Bearish to Bullish, hence the Reversal order for trade date Dec 27, 2018, at $1,460.14 .
The ATR Price Level, Bearish, this means the Price Level would be above the close of the market, which shows us it is currently in a Short Position, for example, it has sold the Stock Previously and it’s trailing Reverse Stop is at the Indicated Price Level of the report. SO, as long as the market price doesn’t close above the ATR Price Level it would remain Bearish.
A trader using the ATR indicator would systematically keep him or her in a well-defined market condition. A bullish condition in going up or in a Bearish market condition in going down and capturing at least 75% of the market move before it reverses its position from Short to Long or from Long to Short. The Advance Trend Reversal indicator is most effective in Volatile and Directional Market conditions.
However, It is not useful in quiet market conditions, as it could get whipsawed back and forth in the quiet market conditions. It is therefore recommended for users to enter their daily Reverse orders at 15:45 New York time.
The ATR algorithm does monitor closely price Volatility and therefore it would prompt users to enter their Reverse Orders either 1 Hour after the opening at 10:30 NY Time or 15 Minutes prior of market close, which would be indicated on the Top Right Corner of the Daily Reverse Order Sheet.
