Daily ATR

[pman777]

Hello, I'm trying to pull in the daily ATR(14) in my strategy that is running on 4 range chart ... I have this line in my Initialize() section:
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);

And this line in my OnBarUpdate() section:
if (BarsInProgress == 1 && CurrentBars[1] >= 0)
{
DrawTextFixed("ATR",("Daily ATR("+ATR_period+"): "+ (ATR(ATR_period)[0]).ToString("N2")), TextPosition.BottomRight);
}

When I run the strategy, I don't get the ATR value ... I know this because the "DrawTextFixed" command doesn't execute. Any thoughts?

Hello pman777,

Please add a print to the action part of this conditional statement, open the output window, and reload the strategy.

Tools -> Output Window...

Does the print show in the output window?

thanks for the reply ... yes, I've done that but nothing shows up.

Hello pman777,

This means that the conditions are not true.

Try printing the values of CurrentBars[1] to the output window.
