Using ATR to filter entry points

[MJUK10]

I was wondering if someone could suggest a coding solution to a filter I want to add.

It would work like this:

If the current price (intraday chart) is less than of the close yesturday plus ATR on the daily chart then enter long.

Can't quite get the code right. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Mark, you'll have to add in a secondary (daily) data series to get yesterday's daily ATR value, and then you can use that in your intraday calculations.

I have added a daily array and refered to it in the following code, doesn't seem to be working though.

If GetCurrentAsk() < ((Close(BarsArray[2])[0]) + (ATR(BarsArray[2], 8)[1]))

Can you see where i'm going wrong, it says "method name expected" and "the name close does not exist in the current context".

Thanks

This seems to have complied ok, does it seem right?

GetCurrentAsk() < (Closes[2][1] + ATR(BarsArray[2], 8)[1])

Mark, if you only added one series, this would be referenced with an index of 1 since they would be 0 based, so primarty one would be 0 and then your secondary one 1 and so on...
