Hello,

I'm trying to configure a ATR based on 5 min time frame with a look back of 4 periods. I want to display it as a value on the chart. How would this be possible using the
ATR within the studies of SC?

thank you.

What do you mean by "4 periods"? Is this 4 bars, 4 trading days, 4 day sessions, 4 evening sessions, ...?

4 bars. So based on whatever time frame i'm looking at the 5, 15 etc. The look back will be 4 bars. If a 5 minute chart then the 4 previous bars.

The "Average True Range" study has a "Length" option that gives you the average ATR over that many bars. So you would want to set this to a value of 4. Refer to the following:
