StockFinder uses Wilder's smoothing and TC2000 uses simple smoothing.

Well, that's wildly simple.

Seeing myself out, thanks.

Is there a way to change which kind of MA the ATR indicator uses in either/both TC2000 ofr SF?

Wilder's smoothing can be replicated by adding an exponential moving average with a slightly different period than the Wilder's period. Double the Wilder's period and subtract 1 to get the period to use for an exponential moving average to apply to a 1 period Average True Range to replicate the Wilder's smoothed ATR.

To replicate the simple ATR, set the period to 1 and add a simple moving average with the period of the ATR.

Your replies to be able to duplicate the ATR used in TC2000 when using SF worked.

 

Thanks for your help!
