I would like to write a pdf that subtracts today's close from 90 days ago's close--easy enough, then divides the difference by the Average True Range for the past 20 days. I would like to be able to sort my watchlist by this criteria.

Is there existing code for ATR already? I could use some help.

Thanks.
