ATRS() from indicators.c - 09/21/14 08:55

from indicators.c

Code:

// Simple ATR based on SMA
var ATRS(int Period)
{
	Period = max(1,Period);
	var vATRS =  0;
	for(g_count = 0; g_count < Period; g_count++)
		vATRS = priceHigh(g_count)-priceLow(g_count);
	return vATRS/Period;
}

I'm wondering if it should be rather

Code:

vATRS += priceHigh...

what am I missing?

Yes, as noted by jcl in that thread, it will be corrected in the next version, meanwhile you can correct yourself the code. This is the correct one:

Code:

// Simple ATR based on SMA
var ATRS(int Period)
{
	Period = max(1,Period);
	var vATRS =  0;
	for(g_count = 0; g_count < Period; g_count++)
		vATRS += priceHigh(g_count)-priceLow(g_count);
	return vATRS/Period;
}
