Can someone give me a clear explanation of this sentence? I'm doing research, but still can't figure out the meaning of it. Thanks
A trend following ATR stop would set the exit at 2-3 times the daily ATR from the low of the day.

ATR is a measure of volatility over a specified period of time. The most common length is 14, which is also a common length for oscillators, such as the relative strength index (RSI) and stochastics. A higher ATR indicates a more volatile market, while a lower ATR indicates a less volatile market. By using a certain percentage of ATR, you ensure your stop is dynamic and changes appropriately with market conditions.
