Ill urge people to try to use this on a two hour time frame on the SPY, i cant speak for other commodities, but it seems to do a great job on a two hour time frame, is there a way that we can combine standard error channels to this?
 
@BenTen Cool script. How can I predict or plot what the ATR clouds will be prior to market open? Currently, I'm using 14/Day Length/AggPeriod and I notice the ATR projection extends into after hours, but stops a few hours prior to market open. When I'm preparing for market open, I notice the ATR projection does not print until after the opening bell. For example, with GAPS (up or down) the ATR extremes (red/green clouds) would change once the market opens. I'd like to guestimate the projection for ATR clouds will be prior to market open. So, if the price of $XYZ drops from $50 to $45 I'd like to visualize where the new ATR clouds will print.
 
@Cecil If you disable extended hours and expand your chart, you'll see the zones being projected into the next day.

@BenTen Thank you for the quick response. I accomplished this with your script, however, I've encountered another issue. I adopted a modified ATR calculation and successfully plotted the same. However, with this script I cannot get the extension to work.

I'm not quite sure why the following code won't allow for the zone projections:

Code: 
input PercentPastFullATR = 0.5;
input PercentShortFullATR = 0.1;

input ATRAvgLength = 14;
input AggPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;


def h = high(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
def c = close(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
def l = low(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
def o = open(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];

def ATR = WildersAverage(TrueRange(high(period = AggPeriod), close(period = AggPeriod), low(period = AggPeriod)), ATRAvgLength);
def day_atr = ATR;

def ATRSatisfied = if h-l > ATR then 1 else 0;
def ATRAnchorLowFlag = if atrsatisfied == 1 and absValue(l-o) < absValue (h-o) then 1 else 0;
def day_low_calculated = if ATRsatisfied == 0 then l else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 1 then l else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 0 then h-atr else l;
def day_high_calculated = if ATRsatisfied == 0 then h else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 0 then h else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 1 then l+atr else l;

# #PLOT_SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE
#PLOT_RESISTANCE(RED)
plot ExcessPercentageOfFullATRAboveOpen = day_low_calculated + (day_atr * (1+PercentPastFullATR));
ExcessPercentageOfFullATRAboveOpen.assignValueColor(COLOR.DARK_RED);
ExcessPercentageOfFullATRAboveOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot FullATRAboveOpen = day_low_calculated + atr;
FullATRAboveOpen.assignValueColor(COLOR.DARK_RED);
AddCloud(ExcessPercentageOfFullATRAboveOpen, FullATRAboveOpen, COLOR.DARK_RED, COLOR.DARK_RED);
FullATRAboveOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot PercentageShortOfFullATRAboveOpen = day_low_calculated + (day_atr * (1-PercentShortFullATR));
PercentageShortOfFullATRAboveOpen.assignValueColor(COLOR.DARK_RED);
AddCloud(FullATRAboveOpen, PercentageShortOfFullATRAboveOpen, COLOR.DARK_RED, COLOR.DARK_RED);
PercentageShortOfFullATRAboveOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

#PLOT_SUPPORT(GREEN)
plot PercentShortOfFullATRBelowOpen = day_high_calculated - (day_atr * (1-PercentShortFullATR));
PercentShortOfFullATRBelowOpen.assignValueColor(COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN);
PercentShortOfFullATRBelowOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot FullATRBelowOpen = day_high_calculated - day_atr;
FullATRBelowOpen.assignValueColor(COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddCloud(FullATRBelowOpen, PercentShortOfFullATRBelowOpen, COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN, COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN);
FullATRBelowOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

plot ExcessPercentageOfFullATRBelowOpen = day_high_calculated - (day_atr * (1+PercentPastFullATR));
ExcessPercentageOfFullATRBelowOpen.assignValueColor(COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddCloud(ExcessPercentageOfFullATRBelowOpen, FullATRBelowOpen, COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN, COLOR.LIGHT_GREEN);
ExcessPercentageOfFullATRBelowOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
 
@Cecil That's because it's using values of the current day instead of the previous day. No way it's going to project the zones forward.
 
@BenTen Forgive me, but which line and value are you referring to? And secondly, is there a way to keep my ATR calculations (which I find to be more accurate in my strategy) and project a zone for them?
 
@Cecil Compare this part of your code to mine:

Code: 
def h = high(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
def c = close(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
def l = low(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
def o = open(GetSymbol(), period = AggPeriod)[0];
 
@BenTen I changed the [0] to [1] on all these but it didn't make the desire projection. I'm assuming because of this section of code:

def ATRSatisfied = if h-l > ATR then 1 else 0;
def ATRAnchorLowFlag = if atrsatisfied == 1 and absValue(l-o) < absValue (h-o) then 1 else 0;
def day_low_calculated = if ATRsatisfied == 0 then l else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 1 then l else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 0 then h-atr else l;
def day_high_calculated = if ATRsatisfied == 0 then h else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 0 then h else if atrsatisfied == 1 and atranchorLowFlag == 1 then l+atr else l;


@vmseller You may recognize this code. Wondering if you're familiar with a way to project the zone calculation into the upcoming market open?

Ultimate ATR Combo
This has
  • 2 ATR's with values 10,3 & 30,9.
  • I find the 10,3 vs 10, 1.75 holds me in trades a little longer,
  • but I do like the 1.75 for shorter trades.

add this code to your code, before the addclouds.
change the if then in each cloud to include
x and

Code: 
# pick, just today or all

input today_only = yes;

def istoday = if GetLastDay() == GetDay() then 1 else 0;

def x = if today_only then istoday else 1;


this modified line has x added to it, to control when the cloud is drawn.

# Previous Close cloud
AddCloud(if x and close_cloud_on then (previous_close - (atr * cloud_size_factor / 2)) else Double.NaN, (previous_close + (atr * cloud_size_factor / 2)), GlobalColor("Close Cloud"), GlobalColor("Close Cloud"));

By default, the indicator uses the "DAY" option. However, if you would like to play around with other timeframe aggregation, then you can do so from the indicator's setting. I found it interesting when applying the Monthly or OPT_EXP (aggregation period equal to option expiration) onto the Daily chart.

Hi @BenTen thanks for this awesome indicator its really superb and have been doing successful trades with this indicator. I have added extra piece of code from other indicators to show the projected ATR levels as bubblecharts and they are working fine. The code is below.

def cond = showBubble and IsNaN(close[ShiftBubble]) and !IsNaN(close[n1]) ;
AddChartBubble(cond, p1, Concat("100% BullTarget: ", Round(p1)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, p9, Concat("125% BullTarget: ", Round(p9)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, p7, Concat("75% BullTarget: ", Round(p7)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, p5, Concat("50% BullTarget: ", Round(p5)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, m1, Concat("100% BearTarget: ", Round(m1)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, m9, Concat("125% BearTarget: ", Round(m9)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, m7, Concat("75% BearTarget: ", Round(m7)), Color.MAGENTA);
AddChartBubble(cond, m5, Concat("50% BearTarget: ", Round(m5)), Color.MAGENTA);

However, the challenge I am facing the levels of these targets are plotted for the previous days as well which makes my chart very cluttered. Is there a way to add the show only function to your code wherein if the condition is set to Yes then only the projected levels for tomorrow are shown and not the previous days levels as those become irrelevant once the day is over.

Would highly appreciate your help to solve the problem.
 
What I am asking about this indicator is would the previous ATR levels plotted for a stock would change or they would remain static?.

@Ben thanks for that. Do you know if there is a pivot script out there that would put up weekly pivots on day chart that works for mobile (iOS)?

I added this and it works perfectly. I changed the clouds to plots to make it work on mobile.

@wado729
Hello, Could you please explain or show what did you change in the codes in SATY ATR levels that works in mobile or could you please share the link if possible, you said you changed the cloud to plot, i am not finding any option in settings to change plot, if we want to update all clouds to plot in the complete code it is completely mess for me, I really appreciate if you could share the link that works in mobile complete code.

Thanks in Advance.
