input ATRLength = 40;

# historical ATR

Solution
@roger80k Not exactly what you wanted but might work, Just combined two already existing studies and just gives you the labels.


Code:
input aggPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

input length = 20;

input multiplier = 2;



def studyPrice = close(period = aggPeriod);

def hi = high(period = aggPeriod);

def lo = low(period = aggPeriod);

def r = hi - lo;

def avgRange = Average(r, length);

def avg = Average(studyPrice, length);



AddLabel(yes, Concat("average daily range: ", avgRange), color.ORANGE);



# Average True Range Label



# Mobius



# V01.10.2013



input nATR = 21;



input SdPeriods = 252;



def AggD = AggregationPeriod.Day;



def hD = high(period = AggD);



def lD = low(period = AggD);



def cD = close(period =...
Hello,

The script below shows me a label for the ATR from 1 bar ago. The only issue is that the value changes when I change the time frame. Is it possible to change it to show only the daily ATR. So for example, if the daily ATR from yesterday is 1 and I change to a 5 minute time frame the label will still show 1. Thank you.

input length = 14;
input averageType = AverageType.WILDERS;
plot ATR = MovingAverage(averageType, TrueRange(high, close, low), length);
AddLabel(yes, Concat("ATR1 = ", ATR[1]), Color.YELLOW);

Basically I want the label to show me the daily ATR from 1 bar ago on all time frames. So the value stays the same, it never changes.
 
Hey, All - I'm just looking for a simple ATR label so I can save some screen space for the indicator pane. Looking for all the normal settings options for ATR, but want to display it as a numerical label rather than as an indicator. I'm not up to speed on ThinkScript and think this is probably a fairly easy label to make so thought it might be in here. I haven't found anything in searching, though, so hoping someone might be able to provide some help. Thanks!

Your Post was moved to this thread. Here there are several different examples of ATR labels.
Try them out and see what suits you best.
 
In case anyone is still looking for a script: ATR with DTR Label
@khpro59 Is there a way to use this label on a ticker but reference another ticker?

For example: If I wanted to have it display on /ES but show the DTRvsATR of the Nasdaq100? I thought using something like this would do it but not quite. Any help you could provide would be great.
