Your request is a bit confusing. iATR() is not an indicator, its a library function. Its what I would use.

If you wanted to do things the hard way, you could use iCustom() or copy the delivered ATR.mql code into your EA.

Jes I donīt want use the iATR() or iCustom() function. The EA should have the logic in itself, that is what I try. Ok I thought it would not so easy. If I simply (i hope) can copy the Code from the indicator I have to try that

Just do a loop and calculate the average of the last X candles ranges. X beeing the ATR period.

But that makes no sense ... the iATR() function is already doing this automatically ...

When you have to get the ATR value of a grammatically created chart in the background then you need to write the ATR function by yourself, you use iATR when you want to apply the function on the existing chart
