Welcome to tutorial 54 in this series of tutorials designed to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage.
This tutorial demonstrates the creation of an indicator using TradeStation 8.7. It takes the closing bar of the day and calculates the Average True Range (ATR) at that bar. It then adds the Average True Range to the high of the previous day’s closing bar and draws a horizontal line for the current day. It also subtracts the ATR from the low of the previous day’s closing bar and draws a horizontal line at that level.
The image on the right shows the program applied to a 15 minute BIDU chart.
The tutorial demonstrates the drawing of the lines using the plot statement and also by creating drawing objects.
The video below explains the tutorial in greater detail.
