I would like to smooth Wealth Lab indicators ATR and OBV by 3 and 20 but would need the code to do this with out writing it from scratch.

Piece of cake. You can drop an indicator (smoother) onto an indicator (ATR, OBV) then click "Push all indicators... into the Strategy code" button. There you have the code.

These links illustrate the idea:

P.S. Video requires Flash support.

I found this helpful as well. I'm sure it's user error but I get an error "Unable to push one or more indicators to code. Indicators drag dropped onto indicators that are plotted via WealthScript code cannot be pushed into code." My intention is to create a rule based on SMA(RSI). Is that possible if I'm successful in pushing the indicator to code. Sorry for my ignorance.

Well, the message is pretty straightforward. You took a WealthScript strategy and dropped SMA onto an RSI indicator created in code. Such derivative indicator cannot be pushed into code. You either have to 1) "create" SMA(RSI) in Rules from scratch or 2) adjust that code-based Strategy manually.

If you take #1, your only option in Rule-based world currently is "Smoothed indicator crosses above(below) Value". It's under "General indicators". Will that work?
