Спасибо!!! Это отличный индикатор! Гораздо более удобный и точный чем высчитывать ATR вручную как я делал раньше. Жаль нельзя сюда кинуть скриншоты. Три входа уже принесли прибыль, четвертый в процессе. За минуту накидал файл в экселе, теперь ввожу цену, ATR, стоплосс и мгновенно получаю результат. Мега удобно, мои наилучшие реккомендации! Ах да: С.У.
