Stoploss Hit Rates by Multiplier Level

This Google Sheets template provides a comprehensive way to analyze the Average True Range (ATR) multiplier hit rates for any selected stock over a specified ATR period. By entering a stock code and the desired ATR period, the spreadsheet automatically computes the True Range (TR) for each day and compares it against multiple ATR thresholds—specifically 1×, 1.5×, and 2× ATR levels.

The dynamic chart displays the TR as a bar series alongside the ATR multiplier lines, making it easy to visually gauge how often the daily range surpasses each ATR multiple. The template also calculates hit-rate probabilities (occurrence rates) for each threshold, revealing how frequently the trading range exceeds certain volatility benchmarks. These insights can help you fine-tune stop-loss placements, manage risk, and get a better feel for the stock’s typical price movements.

Usage:

  1. Select a stock symbol (e.g., GOOG) and choose an ATR period (e.g., 14).
  2. The tool calculates the stock’s daily trading range (TR) and plots it as bars on the chart.
  3. Lines are drawn for ATR 1×, ATR 1.5×, and ATR 2× to show different possible moves.
  4. At the top, you’ll find the probability of the trading range exceeding each ATR multiple. This helps assess how often (historically) the price moves beyond certain volatility thresholds.
