ATR Exponential Moving Average

Hi,

Does anyone have or can create an alert for when the ATR crosses its own exponential moving average. Like an arrow on the cross or something similar. The problem is that when I place the ATR with the EMA on the chart the lines are very close together and I cannot see them properly unless I take half the screen with the indicator.

Thanks
Kind Regards

hey there
kindly check this one , i hope this is what you want,
if you have any notes just let me know
cheers

Thanks a lot for your help

That is what I was looking for!!!!!!!

Thanks for this. Can we get an indicator that alerts everytime the ATR and MA crosses? Thanks.

Hi,
i created a code as well to draw a line when the ATR crosses below the Moving average. But for some reason the simple moving average is plotted incorrectly?
ALl my signals are therefore to late.

I was just looking for this. THANKS!
