FAQ
What makes NRTR Gator different from the standard NRTR indicator?
NRTR Gator integrates entry signals and trailing stops into one visual dot system.
It simplifies decision-making by combining direction and stop placement in a single view.
How does the ATR setting affect performance?
The ATR period and multiplier determine how far the dots are placed from the candlestick.
Higher values create wider stops and fewer reversals. Lower values increase sensitivity.

Does the indicator repaint?
Once a dot is confirmed on a closed candle, it remains fixed. New dots appear only when reversal conditions are met.
