Same risk, wider stop = smaller size

Module 4 formula still applies: risk $ ÷ stop distance. When ATR expands, stop distance widens → position size must shrink to keep risk constant.

Higher ATR → wider stop → smaller lots Lower ATR → tighter stop → larger lots (same $ risk) risk fixed

Never keep lot size fixed when volatility doubles — that doubles your dollar risk.
