Question about indicators

[Mrzel]

Hi,

On my EA I want to use the ATR with ENVELOPES to detect Trend (Volatility)

If the ATR is above the ENV it is HIGH Volatility and if it is under the ENV it is a sideways trend.

Now, when I use the condition block with the 2 indicators, I don't see the crosses...

On the Backtest I can see, that ENV is on the chart and the ATR is below,,so it can't NEVER compare it to each other...??

Hopefully, someone can explain to me my mistake.

Thank you

@mrzel Yes, as you said, they never crosses each other

@ambrogio Thats what I find out while backtesting. But how can I use these 2 indicators as shown as here:

[ambrogio]

@mrzel you have to search on net a custom indicator tha shows you the envelopes on ATR (or viceversa) , import it in the custom indicator on builder and develop your strategy

[Mrzel]

@ambrogio hmm okay Thank you very much for your help!

[Mrzel]

@ambrogio Is it possible to save the value from ATR and the value from ENV into a variable. Then compare these 2 variables?

@mrzel How to compare them? It's simple to set ATR value > "your value" and make another condition for Envelopes
