ATR Monitor EA Friendly

ATR Monitor EA Friendly

ATR is a measure of volatility introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book, "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".

In general, traders are accustomed to seeing the ATR in the form of a sub-window indicator. What I am presenting here is a simplified version of ATR - just the current ATR number - very useful for monitoring just the very moment of the current chart. And, by default, this indicator will not show up on screen, you can just use the buffers themselves.

FEATURES

• Timeframe to monitor (this number will appear in brackets if desired)
  
• ATR period for calculation
• Number of decimal places to show up (if applicable)
• ATR value to fire up the Maximum threshold
• ATR value to fire up the Minimum threshold
• ATR update Mode: Candle by Candle; or Real Time

USAGE

• Buffer #0 is responsible for the ATR value.
• Buffer #1 is responsible to get the value of (1=ON / 0=OFF) if the Low threshold was reached.
• Buffer #2 is responsible to get the value of (1=ON / 0=OFF) if the High threshold was reached.
