Separating Market Noise From Trade Invalidation
Stop distance cannot be evaluated without the behavior of the instrument. A distance that is generous for a quiet market can sit inside ordinary noise for a volatile one.
Engineering model
The source discusses breakout depth and uses ATR as one possible contextual measurement, including a specific heuristic in its false-breakout framework. That numerical rule should be treated as the author's trading heuristic rather than a universal market law.
In software, volatility is best represented as an input to a configurable filter. The engine can compare structural stop distance with ATR, recent range or another selected volatility measure and flag unusually tight or unusually wide configurations for validation.
