I am looking to create a watchlist that is filtered by applying a fornula on weekly prices of stocks. I am not sure how to get the weekly stock prices in a formula ? can you please show me an example ?

You can only apply a daily time (besides intraday time frames) in the watchlist, so the solution would be to compress the data within the formula using the "TimeframeApply" or "TimeframeSet" functions for example.

You can apply it on a chart to see how exactly it works.

Example:
TimeframeSet(7); // 7 for weekly compression
a = atr(10);
TimeframeRestore();
plot(a, "");

In the Dynamic Watchlist formula editor, there is an option at the bottom left of the editor to select a time frame, if this is changed to weekly from daily, than I assume that the weekly price series will be used by any functions within the formula, if that's the case then that would also work ?

Yes, exact. If you only need to use weekly data then yes, that would be much easier.
