Disadvantages

MT4 Platform Only - No compatibility with MetaTrader 5 or alternative trading platforms
Lagging Indicator Nature - ATR calculations inherently lag current price action and volatility changes
Gap Dependency Limitations - Gap analysis less relevant in 24-hour forex markets compared to stock markets
Parameter Sensitivity - Different currency pairs require specific ATR period optimization for accuracy

Complex Interpretation - Multiple volatility indicators may confuse inexperienced traders
Market Condition Dependency - Less effective during extremely stable or unprecedented volatility periods
Historical Data Requirements - Needs extensive price history for accurate ATR calculation and gap analysis
Over-Reliance Risk - Excessive dependence on ATR may cause missed opportunities during volatility outliers
