This script was originally for finding the ATR for Range Bars, by subtracting (close - open) and then taking the moving average.
It has been updated to allow the user to select which sources to subtract, and set the period for the moving average.
In this script, bars shown above zero indicate that price is increasing and bars shown below zero indicate that price is decreasing.
Look for divergences in the output plot. Plotting as columns or area work best for seeing divergence, IMO.
It can also be used to monitor ATR on a higher time frame by changing the resolution.
