i have got what i was looking for (i wrote that myself) but i want to add one more feature which that the text is only painted for the yesterday and no other bars.

 

so i am looking at the atr values of yesterday not before nor today's.

 

i tried to use if CurrentBar = 1 then but it does not work

 

thanks

this should do the trick

 

 

[LegacyColorValue = true];

input: 
PeriodValue(7),
text.color(black),
decimal(2);

vars: 
HighAtrTxt(-1), 
LowAtrTxt(-1),
Atr(0),
HighATR(0),
LowATR(0);

Atr = AvgTrueRange (PeriodValue); //7 day ATR


HighATR = H[1] + ATR[1];  {<-- yestereday's ATR = ATR[1] }
LowATR = L[1] - ATR[1];

if currentbar = 1 then
begin
HighAtrTxt = Text_New(Date, Time, HighATR, "High ATR");
LowAtrTxt = Text_New(Date, Time, LowATR, "Low ATR");
text_Setcolor(HighAtrTxt, text.color);
text_Setcolor(LowAtrTxt, text.color);
text_Setstyle(HighAtrTxt, 0, 2);
text_Setstyle(LowAtrTxt, 0, 2);
end;

text_SetLocation(HighAtrTxt,date, time, HighATR);
text_SetLocation(LowAtrTxt,date, time, LowATR);

text_SetString(HighAtrTxt ," < "+NumToStr(HighATR,decimal)+" High ATR");
text_SetString(LowAtrTxt, " < "+NumToStr(LowATR,decimal)+" Low ATR");
