There for the last bar of the day and the first bar of the next - other than
that - no .. I did realize that the solution to the problem is quite simple.
For data2 you can use the function in this way;  Avgtruerange(len) of data2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are no "gaps" in intraday trading...
Unless you are trading swiss cheese futures or some other non-liquid

Thus range = atr on a 10minute, or 1 hour basis.
(except for the opening !!!)
