    My spread is a candlestick graphe. I use the following formula:

    OpenSpread = Open / Foreign("BN.PA","Open");
    HighSpread = High / Foreign("BN.PA","High");
    LowSpread = Low / Foreign("BN.PA","Low");
    CloseSpread = Close / Foreign("BN.PA","Close");
    PlotOHLC( OpenSpread, HighSpread, LowSpread, CloseSpread, FullName()
    +"-"+"BN.PA"+" Spread", colorBlack, styleCandle );

    I need the ATR of this chart. Any idea?
    Thanks

    Use substitution.

    H = HighSpread;
    L = LowSpread;
    C = CloseSpread;

    Now do ATR and Plot

    Then cancel the effect with RestorePriceArrays()

    Give this a spin.

    Also AB yahoo group is best for this type of discussion.

    Interesting day yesterday. From pairs trading perspective I was surprised that my positions where not affected a lot, although I have a bit of open loss now and it will be interesting to watch if the position will recover or I will be hit by drawdown.

    I have closed 2 pairs yesterday:
    AEM-BVN for loss -2,9%
    BMY-WX for gain 9,8%
