Hi,
the problem is that TS calculates the input ONE TIME if it's a function.
Open, Hi, Low, Close are seen ass numericseries in the input automatically.
Your AVGTRUERANGE(3) will be calculated for the first bar.
You could fix that by using a string input an calculating the Real Value in
your code.
Not really good, because you would have to compute the string.
Any other ideas?
Greetings from Germany,
Yann
