Terry, you will probably get more help with your coding requests if
you first make up your mind as to what exactly you need:
1) Close Up/Down days;
2) Total number of Close Up/Down days;
3) Historical average number of Close Up/Down days;
4) Average number of Close Up/Down days over x periods;
5) ATR Up/Down days;
6) Total number of ATR Up/Down days;
7) Historical average number of ATR Up/Down days;
8) Average number of ATR Up/Down days over x periods.
