Bruce,

Have to bother you again.

Is the smoothing average 3 apply to the formula in the Indicator Formula space?

If so, how do I write the following:

1. 3 period simple moving average of the lows + 5 period ATR.
2. 3 period simple moving average of the highs - 5 period ATR.

The Moving Average applies to everything in the Indicator Formula space. Here is my first thought on how I would create your indicators:

(3 period SMA of Low) + (5 period ATR):

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Indicator.
- Visible: Checked
- Center Zero Line: Unchecked
- Plot using price scale: Checked
- Smoothing Average: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter.
- Indicator Formula: AVGL3 + XAVGH9 - XAVGL9 + .100099133380087 * (ABS(H - C1) + ABS(L - C1) - H + L + .8 * (ABS(H1 - C2) + ABS(L1 - C2) - H1 + L1 + .8 * (ABS(H2 - C3) + ABS(L2 - C3) - H2 + L2 + .8 * (ABS(H3 - C4) + ABS(L3 - C4) - H3 + L3 + .8 * (ABS(H4 - C5) + ABS(L4 - C5) - H4 + L4 + .8 * (ABS(H5 - C6) + ABS(L5 - C6) - H5 + L5 + .8 * (ABS(H6 - C7) + ABS(L6 - C7) - H6 + L6 + .8 * (ABS(H7 - C8) + ABS(L7 - C8) - H7 + L7 + .8 * (ABS(H8 - C9) + ABS(L8 - C9) - H8 + L8 + .8 * (ABS(H9 - C10) + ABS(L9 - C10) - H9 + L9 + .8 * (ABS(H10 - C11) + ABS(L10 - C11) - H10 + L10 + .8 * (ABS(H11 - C12) + ABS(L11 - C12) - H11 + L11 + .8 * (ABS(H12 - C13) + ABS(L12 - C13) - H12 + L12 + .8 * (ABS(H13 - C14) + ABS(L13 - C14) - H13 + L13 + .8 * (ABS(H14 - C15) + ABS(L14 - C15) - H14 + L14 + .8 * (ABS(H15 - C16) + ABS(L15 - C16) - H15 + L15 + .8 * (ABS(H16 - C17) + ABS(L16 - C17) - H16 + L16 + .8 * (ABS(H17 - C18) + ABS(L17 - C18) - H17 + L17 + .8 * (ABS(H18 - C19) + ABS(L18 - C19) - H18 + L18 + .8 * (ABS(H19 - C20) + ABS(L19 - C20) - H19 + L19 + .8 * (ABS(H20 - C21) + ABS(L20 - C21) - H20 + L20 + .8 * (ABS(H21 - C22) + ABS(L21 - C22) - H21 + L21 + .8 * (ABS(H22 - C23) + ABS(L22 - C23) - H22 + L22 + .8 * (ABS(H23 - C24) + ABS(L23 - C24) - H23 + L23 + .8 * (ABS(H24 - C25) + ABS(L24 - C25) - H24 + L24 + .8 * (ABS(H25 - C26) + ABS(L25 - C26) - H25 + L25 + .8 * (ABS(H26 - C27) + ABS(L26 - C27) - H26 + L26 + .8 * (ABS(H27 - C28) + ABS(L27 - C28) - H27 + L27 + .8 * (ABS(H28 - C29) + ABS(L28 - C29) - H28 + L28 + .8 * (ABS(H29 - C30) + ABS(L29 - C30) - H29 + L29 + .8 * (ABS(H30 - C31) + ABS(L30 - C31) - H30 + L30)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
