Adding a 14Day ATR to 5minute Chart

[mcirl2]

Hi,

I cant figure out how to add a 14day ATR to a 5minute chart. I can add a 14bar ATR on a 5minute chart but not a 14day ATR.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Mike, you would need to first add a daily series as well to the chart - then you could point to this series as input series for your ATR indicator -

Thanks Bertrand,

I have seen this line of code on the forum but it makes no sense to me:

Daily_Trend = new DataSeries(this);

I presume to add a Daily dataseries I will have to replace the 'this' with Daily or Day or something as I assume 'this' refers to the current dataseries of the chart (ie 5minute in my case).

This is what I am trying to do:
Add(ATR(PeriodType.Day, atrPeriod));
ie add the 14day atr on the 5min chart.

Thanks

Mike, to do this via NinjaScript you would need to Add() your daily period type first to the indicator and then calculate your ATR on it as second step:

For the first added series, you could for example point to BarsArray[1] then as input series for your ATR indicator: ATR(BarsArray[1], 14)[0];
