Hi !
How can I plot an ATR stop using points ?
I want to get this to the chart: SetSimStop(_StopLoss, _Point, ops0 * atr(ops1), 1);
Thanks !

This is to place a stop in a strategy, you cannot use it in a chart.

What I want to do is to draw the ATR stop line in the chart. I want to see the ATR stop line.
What is the proper way to code it ?
I was trying this but it doesn't match stop exits from the system:
today = close;
yesterday = today[1];
a = 3 * Atr(9);
b = yesterday - a;
Plot(b, "ATR_STOP", colorRed, chartLine, StyleDashed);
Thanks !

Best Answer
It doesn't match because the calculation is based on the entry price.
a = [entry price] - 3*atr(9); // Entry price must be hard coded. Example: 10.2 - 3*atr(9)
plot(a, "");

Thank you, that's what I was looking for.
It would be great for troubleshooting backtesting to have the ATR stop line charted for each trade.
Is there a way to see for each stock added to a Porfolio plugin the current value of the stop loss ?
Thanks !

Yes, there is.
Right click on the table in the "Open Positions" tab:
- You can add the $ amount until the stop is hit by selecting "Update Columns" then checking "$ To Stop"
- You can display the ATR stop value by selecting "Add Formula Columns" then adding the following formula:
[PRICE] - 3*atr(9)
// NB: Do not update [PRICE], keep it like that, it will be replaced automatically with the correct entry price.
