Very useful indicator, but can u please allow the option to have it displayed at the top centre rather than top left. 

 

Thank you

Thank you Gorin. Very useful indicator.

Is anyone aware of an indicator that can draw the ATR in pips (in the same way this "draw spread" indicator works)? 

I like to remove as much noise and have the least amount of oscillators / indicators beneath my charts. 

Thanks,

Simple and very useful indicator. I use it with MT4.  I'm glad I found it here. :)

I use grey back ground chart, like to change the font and spread to red to more visual.  I can't change red it above code.  Thank you in advance!

This is very useful and simplest indicator ever for scalpers.

Nice idea.
