You can use the reading of the daily ATR to set the value in an M15 EA, see this to get the current 20-day ATR value

double dDailyATR;

dDailyATR = iATR(NULL,PERIOD_D1,20,0);

Good Luck

Ooops forgot :(

The current ATR value will increase during the period, so use the last closed bar value iATR(NULL,PERIOD_D1,20,1);

hi

1-use ATR value in Candle 0 is better or candle 1 ? Why ?

2-Which of the following mode is best for calculate StopLoss On the base of ATR value:

A-Stoploss = (ATRValue*2)

B-Stoploss = (ATRValue/2)

C-StopLoss = (ATRValue)

Thanks

The current ATR will have started relatively low on firdt tick of the bar and increased thereafter

See below for one example on EURUSD on a sub-pip account - you will have to look at the units your ATR is putting out

Usually good to have a minimum set in case action goes unexpectedly low

   SL.Pips = iATR(strSymbol,iPeriod,ATR.Period,ActivityBar)*10000; // Full pips
   
   StopLoss.Pips = MathMax(SL.Pips, Min.StopLoss.Pips); // Full pips

Good Luck
