Error finding lowest ATR Value over X periods

[ShaneAU]

Hi guys,

I am trying to reference the lowest ATR value over the last X days, but am getting a compile error with the MIN function. Below is the code which is used in an if statement:

ATR(volatilityLength)[0] <= MIN(ATR(volatilityLength)[0],volatilityLength)[0]

volatilityLength is an int variable.

I am getting two errors for the same line, one is an overload method match, and the other is saying that it cannot convert from 'double to ninjatrader .. data series..'

Any thoughts?

Cheers!
Shane

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

This is because the MIN is asking for a DataSeries but is being provided a Double as you can see from this statement:

MIN([U]ATR(volatilityLength)[B][0][/B][/U],volatilityLength)[0])

Instead of

ATR(volatilityLength)[0]

You would need to use

ATR(volatilityLength)

Here is the completed example, I created the variable volatilityLength for the example:

int volatilityLength = 10;
Print(ATR(volatilityLength)[0] <= MIN(ATR(volatilityLength),volatilityLength)[0]);

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse, that did the trick - much appreciated!
