ATR Plots + Overlay
This tool calculates and displays Average True Range (ATR)-based levels on your chart for any selected timeframe, giving traders a quick visual reference for expected price movement relative to the most recent bar’s open price. It plots guide levels above and below that open and shows how much of the typical ATR-based range has already been covered—all in one interactive table and on-chart overlay.



What It Does
ATR Calculation:
Uses true range data over a user-defined period (default 14), smoothed via RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA, on the selected timeframe (e.g., 1h, 4h, daily) to calculate the ATR value.

Projected Levels:
Plots four reference levels relative to the open price of the most recent bar on the chosen timeframe:

+100% ATR: Open + ATR

+50% ATR: Open + 50% of ATR

−50% ATR: Open − 50% of ATR

−100% ATR: Open − ATR

Coverage %:
Tracks high and low prices for the current session on the selected timeframe and calculates what percentage of the ATR has already been covered:

Coverage % = (High − Low) ÷ ATR × 100

Interactive Table:
Shows the ATR value and current coverage percentage in a customizable table overlay. Position, color scheme, borders, transparency, and an optional empty top row are all adjustable via settings.



Customization Options
Table Settings:
Position the table (top/bottom × left/right).

Customize background color, text color, border color, and thickness.

Optionally add an empty top row for spacing.

Line Settings:
Choose color, line style (solid/dotted/dashed), and width.

Lines automatically update with each new bar on the selected timeframe, anchored to that bar’s open price.

General Inputs:
ATR length (number of bars).

Smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA).

Timeframe selection for ATR calculations (e.g., 15m, 1h, Daily).



How to Use It for Trading
Measure Volatility: Quickly gauge the expected price movement based on ATR for any timeframe.

Identify Overextension: Use the coverage % to see how much of the expected ATR range is already consumed.

Plan Entries & Exits: Align trade targets and stops with ATR levels for more objective planning.

Visual Reference: Horizontal guide lines and table update automatically as new bars form, keeping information clear and actionable.



Ideal For
Intraday traders using ATR levels to frame trades.

Swing traders wanting ATR-based reference points for larger timeframes.

Anyone seeking a volatility-based framework for planning stops, targets, or identifying overextended conditions.

Nota Keluaran

Fixed time frame issue - now correctly plots lines based on open for selected time frame when chart time frame is higher than selected ATR time frame.
