Help coding EMA of ATR to use in my EA

[Jordan Olsen]

Hello, I am currently having an issue programming an EMA of my ATR in my EA. I want to create a 3 EMA of a 14 period ATR that I can use in my parameters of my EA to determine if it should trade or not. Any help would be appreciated.

   An issue you don't state.

3. Do you really want EMA( SMA(TR,14), L) as that is what iATR returns? Consider EMA(TR)?

      #define  TR(I) ( MathMax(High[I], Close[I+1])                              \
                     - MathMin( Low[I], Close[I+1])                              \
                     )

   bool isFirstTick;
   int OnInit(){ isFirstTick=true; …}
   void OnTick(){
      bool isNewBar = …;
      static double ema[3]={0};
      if(isNewBar){ 
         for(int iBar = isFirstTick ? Bars-1 : 1; iBar > 0; --iBar){ // Can't run on bar zero.
            double atr = iATR(…, iBar);
            #define EMA(P,C,L) EMAa(P,C,2./(L+1))
            #define EMAa(P,C,A) ((P) + ((C)-(P))*A)
            ema[0] = EMA(ema[0], atr, length1);
            ema[1] = EMA(ema[1], atr, length2);
            ema[2] = EMA(ema[2], atr, length3);
         }
         isFirstTick=false;
      }
      ⋮
   }
