v2:
- Fixed time session filter (it was not working as intended)

2022年1月13日

リリースノート

v3:
- Removed underscore from "_x" parameter names to be consistent with Pine's inbuilt function parameter naming convention
- Removed inbuilt ATR call from function scope in atrFilter() so that it is guaranteed to be calculated properly on every tick (regardless of which scope you place the atrFilter() call in your script)
- Added getPctChange() function - returns the % change between two values over a lookback period
- Cannot remove MA calls from function scope of getMA() in library scripts due to length parameter being dynamic, so make sure to ALWAYS call that function on every calculation (ie. in your main script scope - just as you would with regular inbuilt MA() functions)
