Note: I learned that this version repaints on TV. not sure about TOS but good to keep in mind.

I believe to fix this, this line needs to be updated to below: hPotter has it in other scripts.
avgTR = WMA(atr[1], Length);

Should be brackets, not parentheses.

avgTR = WMA(atr[1], Length);

unless you intended to make this into a trend line if you look at the, trading the Trend article of TASC September 1998. it clearly showing an upper and lower band not a signal line.
