Average True Range Trailing Stop indicator needed.

Could someone convert the ATR Trailing Stop indicator from NT 6.5 to NT 7.0? Please see attached file for 6.5 version. Thanks for the help.

Please give the one attached a try, works well here for me.

Hello!

I've been trying your excellent Trailing stop indicator.
I have, however, encountered a problem.

In my strategy, I want a trailing stop that always is below the close price.
And the trailing stop in the indicator is sometimes above the price curve, this gives me some strange stop-exits.

Is there a way to do this in the strategy wizard, or do I have to code in the difference between the close and trailing stop and subtract that from the close price every day?

I am kind of new to Ninja Trader, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

bebjo, if you're trying to find a difference in prices, you will need to move to actual code. The strategy wizard is not able to work with data like that. If you would like additional assistance with the actual indicator itself, you will have to contact the author of it.

Thanks Austin,

I will edit the code. Just wanted to do as much as I could in the wizard.

The way that an ATR Trailing stop works is that, based on the settings, the line will be sometimes be above and sometimes below price. It's a bit like a bias indicator in that way.

If you find it gets "flipped" sometimes when you don't want it to, it's a matter of tweaking the indicator parameters to better fit your symbol/interval.

GM Bertrand,
is there a way to change the color of the ATR signal when they are above price bar compared to below price bar?

Hello,

Yes, you would need to change color of the DrawArrows inside the script.
This is the last property in the DrawArrow method
