Calculation of other TimeFrames

[sunshineh]

Is the ATR-indicator from Timeframe 10 Minutes and Period 14 the same as

from Timeframe 5 Minutes and Period 28??

no

How can I calculate the right value? I don't need the optical only the calculated value.

The higher the Timeframe the higher the value can be

If you know what it is true range of a bar ...... then you didn't start this topic

I have another idea.

Can I save for example the last 28 bars from the 5 Min Chart in

High-Array[14] (highest value form bar 13 and 12, highest value form bar 11 and 10, ...)

Low-Array[14]

Open-Array[14]

Close-Array[14]

and use my normal ATR oder RSI Calculation with that Arrays.

I need only the actual values from the 10min-Chart

You can't use the normal iATR at all. It ONLY functions on the standard periods. You can use the iATROnArray if it existed, but it doesn't. You must write one.

You can't use the normal RSI at all. It ONLY functions on the standard periods. You can use the iRSIOnArray if you have M10 arrays. You must generate them.

// Calculate ATR on array
double iATROnArray(double H[], double L[], double C[], int length, int shift=0){
    double sum = 0;
    for (iBar = shift+length-1; iBar >= shift; iBar--){
        double  TR  = MathMax(H[iBar], C[iBar+1]) - MathMin(L[iBar], C[iBar+1]);
        sum += TR;
    }
    return(sum/length);
}
