ATR multiplication

hello,

I want to write a rule like this:

IF,

ATR(1)xATR(2) > ATR(3)

 

then,

bla bla

 

but no signal is produced,

I used,

“filter” – “functions” – parameter 1 for atr(1) and parameter 2 for atr(2) > “indicators atr(3)

 

but doesnt seem to work,

what am I doing wrong?

 

best, 

Hello,

 

this will not work because this condition is never true, you are multiplying two numbers smaller than 1, the result is even smaller number.

 

Let’s say ATR is 0.1.

0.1 * 0.1 = 0.01, it will be never bigger than ATR.

hello Mark, thank you for the fast response, 

numbers were for example only,

my real numbers are atr11xatr69>atr85 for long, 

and vice versa, 

 

best, 

it is still the same problem. ATR numbers are usually numbers below 1, so your condition will be never valid.

 

Try making an average – (ATR1 + ATR2) / 2 instead of multiplication.

hello Mark,

as you may recall, I sent you an example of an EA with ATR multiplication,

 

I am looking forward for your help in this, 

 

best ,

Hello,

 

sorry, I cannot find it, could you resend it or attach it here?

Dear Mark,

I re-sent it to “newsletter@…” e-mail

 

hope you can help 

ok, I’m posting a sample (not complete).

 

If you are struggling with finding mathematical functions in EA Wizard, they are in Functions -> Multiplication.

Dear Marc,

that’s exactly I tried, but when I save as signal indicator,

there is no result on mt4 on any timeframe

(I changed “then” rules to draw up, 

I tried both up and down for tema rule,

can you post your sqw file here? 

 

I’m not sure what exactly you have done.
