Hello
I'm defenitely not a coder, but I'm learning (very slowly I have to admit :oops: ), I have problem on showing an indi value on main chart, text part is ok but only get zeroes instead the correct value, the indi is ATR
is this correct? : PATR=iATR(NULL,NULL,ATR_Period,0);
or should it be : PATR= iATR(NULL,0,ATR_Period;0);
both ways show on screen: ATR= 0,000000
what I'm missing?

Hi iATR is used in this way:

double PATR=iATR(symbol,timeframe, period,shift);
symbol
Symbol name on the data of which the indicator will be calculated. NULL means the current symbol.

timeframe
Timeframe. 0 means the current chart timeframe.

period
Averaging period.

shift
0 means current bar, 1 previous closed bar and so on..

Cheers :)

Hi Tomasso
thank you for your answer
I've declared PATR as double, and text is shown on screen, why is no reading the value?

Is this correct?:
ObjectSetText("ATR",StringConcatenate("ATR: ",DoubleToStr(PATR)),14,"Tahoma",Yellow);

Maybe you can attach your complete code, than I will take a look, why it is not working as intended..

Cheers :)
