Thanks again preston. That improve a lot on my limit buy

Preston, Based on what you said the Wielders is nothing than shortened version of lookback period of moving average exponential. Is that possible for you to show the coding of wielders ATR by using moving average exponential configuration without changing the result that was produced by the first style of your coding?

Steve,
I believe this is what you want.
{Average True Range - Welles Wilder}
{Written by Ton Maas-981225-Amsterdam-the Netherlands}
{Found at EquisMetastock YahooGroups}
{Formula:}
PDS:=Input("Lookback Periods",1,999,10);
TR1:=Abs(H-L);
TR2:=Abs(Ref(C,-1)-H);
TR3:=Abs(Ref(C,-1)-L);
MX1:=Max(TR1,TR2);
MX2:=Max(TR1,TR3);
MX3:=Max(TR2,TR3);
MXTRS:=If(MX1>MX2,
If(MX1>MX3,MX1,
If(MX2>MX3,MX2,MX3)),MX2);
WATR:=Wilders(MXTRS,pds);
WATR;
Wilders smoothing is actually nothing more than a shortened lookback
period version of an exponential moving average. Like this:
Mov(Data,pds*2-1,E)
Hope this helps,
Preston

used as the True Range. If the current high-low range is small, it
is likely that one of the other two methods would be used to
calculate the True Range. The last two possibilities usually arise
when the previous close is greater than the current high (signaling
a potential gap down or limit move) or the previous close is lower
than the current low (signaling a potential gap up or limit move).
To ensure positive numbers, absolute values were applied to
differences.

Because there must be a beginning, the first TR value in a series is
simply the High minus the Low, and the first 14-day ATR is the
average of the daily ATR values for the last 14 days. After that,
Wilder sought to smooth the data set, by incorporating the previous
period's ATR value. The second and subsequent 14-day ATR value would
be calculated with the following steps:
