Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

The box is centered on the selected price—current close, high, low, or HL2—and extends one ATR above and below that level. It deletes the previous box and creates a new one on every bar so only the latest box remains. Settings change the ATR period, forward offset, center price, color, border width, and whether the ATR value is shown as text. ATR and center price are also plotted in the data window. It does not generate trade signals or alerts.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
