Average daily range indicator, help !!

Pepinillo · #1 (**permalink**) 03-03-2007, 03:06 PM

Hello everyone,

Im trying to code my first MT4 indicator. It's a simple indicator to show on the upper left corner of the chart the average daily range (high - low, in pips) for a currency during the last 100 periods. But no matter how hard I try, it just doesnt do anything at all and I cannot spot out where the problem is.

Can anyone please have a quick look and tell me where the bug is? I attach the indicator down below.

By the way, is there any chance I could also set another parameter to analyze the average range during the last 100 days but only from 7 AM to noon? that's the time frame I usually trade so that piece of info would be useful for me too.

Thank you very much in advance

You´re not correctly calling the double n?

PHP Code:


			
double av=0;
int i=0;


  for(i=1;i<=100;i++)
       av   =    av +  (iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i)-iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i))/Point;
   
   double n=av/PeriodsBack;
   
   Comment("Average Daily Range is ",n);

Comment line should be like this?

PHP Code:


			
 Comment("Average Daily Range is ",+ n)

Take a search for Ogeima´s daily range calculator.
