ATR 0.5x & 1x Distance (Horizontal)

What this version does (no ambiguity)
Plots true horizontal dashed lines
One at ±0.5 × ATR
One at ±1.0 × ATR
Lines extend to the right (proper levels, not floating spaghetti)
ATR is calculated from the active chart timeframe
30m chart → 30m ATR
1H chart → 1H ATR
Clean, stable, no repainting tricks
Important detail (this matters for your strategy)
The lines are anchored to a reference price, which is currently configurable:
Default: close
You can change it to:
VAH
VAL
POC
Any plotted level
This is exactly what you want for:
“How far beyond value has price gone in ATR terms?”
How you’ll likely use this in practice
For your mean-reversion framework:
Anchor Reference Price = VAH or VAL
Treat:
0.5× ATR → probabilistic rejection zone
1.0× ATR → acceptance / thesis failure
No more eyeballing. No more dragging stops because “the candle looked angry.”
