RangePT Indicator

[albazzaztariq]

Hey guys, a while back someone posted this indicator on the forums and I've tried to edit one thing to no avail. I'm attaching the file; it basically calculates the avg range (high to low) of a set amount of bars. Instead of using high-low, I want to use close to close. However, when I try to reference a any bar other than the one that just closed, the indicator no longer works.

So basically, before now it has used High[0]-Low[0]....I'm trying to use if statements to see which close is higher than the other and then say the higher close minus the lower close. So considering yesterday's close was higher than today's, I'd use Close[1] - Close[0]. This is where I run into a problem...it all works when I only reference the first index of the array, but as soon as I go to the 2nd or any further back, it ceases to work. So it will work if I say Close[0]-Open[0], it still will calculate a value. However, as soon as I change the index from 0 to anything else, it won't work.

The line I'm editing is #47.
atr1.Set(High[0] - Low[0]);

Attached is the indicator.

Thanks

albazzaztariq,

You will want to ensure that you have a CurrentBar check for your script. This will have the script ensure there is enough data on the chart when starting the calculations

try using this at the beginning of your OnBarUpdate()

if(CurrentBar < 1) return;
