I need help with a scanner that checks how many ATR a stock price is above a certain moving average?

@J007RMC thank you, it's like a treasure hunt every time I see you posting.

 

[mosdef213]

I'm hoping someone can help me with a script to color any candles blue if they exceed 30% of ATR. Thanks in advance.

 

[generic]

@mosdef213 Gonna assume you meant 1.3x ATR and not .3x ATR.

assignPriceColor(if high-low > 1.3 * atr() then color.blue else color.current);
