As I am in the middle of changing my charting platform from Alpari MT4 to FXCM MT4, due to FXCM MT4 got weekend data (time zone: GMT), I have created one ATR indicator which exclude weekend data from calculation.

I am not sure whether the code is optimized enough, but it works.

Here you are: HPT-ATR.mq4

Hi,

What confuses me are the pictures you used to show your 200 pips stop on EUR/USD below the headline: How to set stops with Average True Range (ATR) indicator. On that example you are actually setting a 2000 pips stop, not 200 pips stop. What I know from metatrader is that a pip is one value price move of the fifth digit after the dot. Right?
