You have set up two mutually exclusive conditions:
a. the open plus ATR(10) * .250 be LESS than yesterday's close, and
b. the open plus ATR(10) *.0125 be GREATER than yesterday's close.
They cannot both apply to the same bar. Since I'm not yet into
intra-day coding I won't attempt a solution, but I think the Alert
function would be applicable.
