Candlestick MATR
- Indicators
- Abraham Correa
- Version: 1.1
Analyze volatility by clicking on a specific candlestick, which triggers the display of horizontal grid lines centered around the candlestick’s closing price, spaced by multiples of the calculated ATR. A vertical line highlights the selected candlestick, and an optional text label can display the ATR value in pips above the candlestick. The indicator is lightweight, using no buffers, and relies on chart objects for visualization. It includes error handling for invalid candlestick selections and adjusts pip calculations for specific symbols (e.g., GOLD, JPY pairs). The design is streamlined, focusing on user interaction via mouse clicks, with customizable visual properties for lines and labels.
