The period t is the same as the candlestick on the graph (eg hourly, daytime) for calculating TR, and T is the number of candles taken to calculate the average ATR. Application
ATR is used to decide whether to seize or close a position. It is often used in transactional systems that deal with trends. A price change for a certain number of ATRs is considered to be an offside trend and may be used as a buy or sell signal.
