Hello fellow coders!

I'm a huge user of ThinkorSwim but have minimal knowledge with coding. I'm using the ATRTrailingStop indicator but I would like to convert the ATR value into a percentage. For example, if the ATR(14) value is 1.00 and today's price is $10.00, then ATR % would be 10%.

I know its a simple request but I can't find a way to get the graph to show in percentages.

Thank you very much in advance!

- John

Sorry, are you saying you want the regular ATR as a percentage of the close or the stop amount as determined by the ATR Trailing Stop study divided by the close, i.e. (close - ATR Trailing Stop) / close?

It seemed that way, but you we're talking about the trailing stop thingy too so I wasn't sure...anyway here it is. If you are looking for comparability across instruments, then I am contemplating whether this will actually achieve that or not. If it doesn't do what you want then let me know and we can work on it.
