Hi Gareth

Thank you for you interest in the MT ATR Volatility Breakout Strategy.
All strategies are 100% free for sim/demo usage to allow you the time to learn without penalty and without rushing.

This strategy trades signaled based on the indicator: MT Signals Trend ATR Breakout - this is the first place to look and understand its concepts.
So its easier to #1 learn how to use the indicator and view its parameters on a chart and note what they do... see which setting appeals and makes sense to you.

Guidance and Videos
1.A Signals Indicators: Please save yourself much time/days weeks even in some cases - view here and watch the videos
https://microtrends.zendesk.com/entries/59737249-Getting-Started-with-MicroTrends-NinjaTrader-Framework-Signals-Indicators
1. B - Also here!! Zone Setting IDs
https://microtrends.zendesk.com/entries/68480125-Zone-Setting-ID-Saving-and-loading-your-own-settings-for-MTNTF7-Indicators-and-strategies

After this you can then look at the strategy version and find the signals indicator parameters also within the strategy parameter list + additional parameters common to all strategies -learn one and you learn them all... All MT Strategies work in the same way and are all based off the MT Signals Indicators and also combine the MT Easy Trader/ Trade Manager UI. To use any MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework Strategy - you must have followed this route or you will be wasting many days or even weeks/months in some cases - Please verify that you have viewed the following:

2.A Read and Watched about the MT Easy Trader and Strategies
https://microtrends.zendesk.com/entries/53195949-Getting-started-with-MicroTrends-NinjaTrader-Framework-Strategies
2.B Then use your same signals indicators settings within the strategy - which trades the signals from the indicator -so yo
u would essentially just set the indicator signal, order types and trade management within the strategy..etc. and then can run a backtest or optimisation.

1. Use plain vanilla to start
A. remove all filters
B. put stops out to around 25 to 25 ticks
C. remove all targets, all breakeven, all trail stops
see what the natural strategy profile does -just by stopping and reversing...

2. Plain Vanilla + some profit taking techniques
