ATR

  • #1
  • First Post: Mar 11, 2009 3:15pm Mar 11, 2009 3:15pm
I was wondering if someone knew how to display the ART (numbers) in the upper left hand corner of a chart without displaying the graph at the bottom. I searched around and have not seem to find anything I am looking for.

Thanks in advance,

Will

We use this one in THV to estimate SL.

It showed before the values as comment, we changed it to text and you can change the font, color, font size and position.

May be it serves for you.

Cobraforex,

Thanks for the reply. I haven't seen a nice a ATR like that before...interesting ...Great Job. BUT I am looking for one that will display the ATR numbers

example 0.0005, 0.0010, 0.0020, etc. (as in the chat below with the red arrow)

Ok, got ya.

I was searching deep in my indi box and couldn't find anything but I guess it isn't that difficult to recode the one that I posted, getting the multiplier and % away, maybe someone can give a helping hand.

Here's the modified ATR set at multiplier 1 (you can still change multiplier and all the rest, I only took the text and percentage away and the rounding formula). You can tweak the position and text size so it shows where you want it.

The only "problem" it has is that it shows precision to 8 decimals, and I don't know how to use the Digits for that, but the ATR value is exactly the same as shown as the graphic ATR indicator.

Here I just wrote this for you. You can place it anywhere you want on your chart using the x and y coordinates. Also you can set the font size any size you want and the color and the atr period and the time frame. 0 = the current time frame
time frames are in minutes

CURRENT CHART 0
PERIOD_M1 1
PERIOD_M5 5
PERIOD_M15 15
PERIOD_M30 30
PERIOD_H1 60
PERIOD_H4 240
PERIOD_D1 1440
PERIOD_W1 10080
PERIOD_MN1 43200

enjoy

doblece, cobraforex

Thanks for your help

thatwasme exactly what I was looking for. Even though when I change the original ATR font and size in properties and switch to a new time frame it changes it back to the original font, color, and size etc...I am not complaining LOL this will work out perfect...

That is odd, it stays stable when I change time frames for any settings I put in.

It must be some setting on your mt4 different than mine. I can change the defaults to your white color and what ever font you want, so it stays the same. let me know if you want me to. just take a moment.

Just post a screen shot of your inputs.

Have you updated your MT4 to build 221? I bet that would cause this.

Is that b-clock you are also running? maybe they have something in there that is interfering I would be happy to look at it. Please post that indicator.

Never mind the b-clock. I just tested with it and it still works fine for me.

Update to 221 or I can reproduce it in a earlier version, if you have trouble updating.

If you want to, you can run several copies of the indicator on the same chart with different time frames. Just select a greater Y value for each one. Just a thought.

Nice work Thatwasme.

I've been looking for something similar, but displaying the % move since the open (00:00 GMT) against the daily ATR (14 period). I'm certain this must exist somewhere, but I've looked across FF and Google to no avail.

Any ideas?

This is a great indicator, thank you! Is there any way I can round the ATR up and add on a spread to the ATR value? I can do this manually....add the spread on I mean!?
Thanks,
J
