Video: Creating A Custom Indicator
This tutorial demonstrates how to create a custom indicator, which is then charted.
It assumes:
- You started ATM and opened a settings file.
- That settings file already has some price bars in it.
- ATM is sitting there ready to go.
This tutorial does these things:
- Charts some price bars.
- Adds an indicator to the chart - the LOW minus 0.3%
- Creates a custom indicator implementing the Chandelier Stop.
- Adds the Chandelier Stop indicator to the chart.
It's probably better NOT TO WATCH this video tutorial if you are new to ATM, and especially if you're not good with computers. Custom indicators are the hardest things to understand, and you are totally going to get the wrong impression about this software. ATM comes with a whole number of pre-made custom indicators, so most likely you will not need to create one of your own.
On the other hand, if you can understand this then the rest of the software will be a cinch.

Hello.
I need an indicator computing the moving median of the bar range.
Example:
Time High Low Range RangeMedian(3)
09:00 1.3400 1.3350 0.0050 n/a
09:15 1.3523 1.3334 0.0189 n/a
09:30 1.3465 1.3412 0.0053 n/a
09:45 1.3333 1.3190 0.0143 0.0053
10:00 1.3215 1.3041 0.0147 0.0143
10:15 1.3301 1.3019 0.0282 0.0143
10:30 1.3286 1.3134 0.0152 0.0147
10:45 1.4024 1.3105 0.0919 0.0152
Can this be done in ATM?
Any idea would be welcomed
Cheers
Francisco
