ATR with Impulse Alerts

pauls0101 Updated   
This is a very simple script which simply plots an ATR (the built-in ATR function, using RMA) and plots a cross when the previously closed bar is larger than the ATR by a given threshold. There are also alert conditions set so you can be alerted when these impulse bars show up, either up or down bars. Have fun and safe trading!
Release Notes:
Update: I also added a plot for the actual range of each bar since I found myself calculating it occasionally.
Release Notes:
Reordered plots.
Release Notes:
Several updates to the format and visibility of the indicator.
Release Notes:
Added a minimum size setting for the impulse move bars.
Release Notes:
Added the option to adjust the filter by another ATR multiplier rather than flat values so it works across more assets.
Release Notes:
Added an alertcondition that captures both up and down moves so alerts can be set that don't use as many alert slots if used on multiple instruments.
Release Notes:
Updated to v5 and added a multiplier for easily using with other indicators for SL/TP.
Release Notes:
Updated to plot the multiplied ATR. Oops.
Release Notes:
Minor updates; will need to rollback some of these updates at a later point. Trying to plot the numerics without visually updating it as it squashes the plots.
