    Hi,

    I thought normally the ATR take 3 parameters: high, low and close. But by Prorealtime it just take one, the close.

    This is the formula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_true_range.

    It only needs to know the periods for which you want to calculate it.

    The other data are known and can’t be modified.

    But it seems I can also choose if I use the close as input or the other such as  (h+l+c)/3, right?

    Yes, from the indicator’s properties you can choose to apply ATR to other than CLOSE.
