Hi,
I'm not a good programmer. How can I obtain a 10 exponential moving average of the ATR?I would prefer ATR and EMA on the same window and change the time of the ema.
Thanks

Well, I'm not sure how to program this, but I can tell you how to do it visually. Start with a blank chart, then plot your ATR. Now go into the "Navigator" Tab, under Indicators, and drag "Moving Average" to the ATR. Let go. Now the window should pop up. You can select your settings here (period=10,method=exponential...). Now, I believe it says "Apply to" or something like that. Anyway, the default is Close, you want to make this "First Indicator's Data". Click OK and that should add your 10 EMA to the ATR.

Let me know if you have any problems,

Ok, did you select "First Indicator's Data"? I just followed my own directions and here is what I came up with.


Start with a blank chart:

Add ATR:

Add MA with Apply to Set as "First Indicator's Data":

Glad it worked for you. You can use this same procedure to add an MA to any indicator you want. This principle is used in several systems, such as The Fozzy Method.

Good the cross of the 5EMA-ATR when the second is below the low volatility value (every pair has a different value)...A strong movement is coming

hi,

you don't have to program this. Just drag an ATR into the chart and then drag an EMA on the ATR window and set it up not to use anything like CLOSE but "first indicator" or sth. like that - this applies the EMA on the ATR.
