Hi! First off, im not a coder, i got this indicator from futures.io, someone had posted it but its exactly what i needed. It is a clean ATR indicator that just places a number at the bottom right had corner of the screen instead of the default NT7 indicator which has a pointless line graph that you can't get rid of, only minimize. Anyway, the indicator works great but I just need to be able to make the font bigger because its tiny and hard to see. Also it would be nice to be able to change the font and color (but its not a necessity for me) I just need the indicator font bigger. if anyone can help with this and what the coding is and exactly where it needs to go, i'd really appreciate it. thanks. il copy and paste it and il also include it as an attachment
