Simple Indicator

[U0000999]

Hello, is it possible to create indicator without programming, which calculates difference between Highest and Lowest value for "n" periods?

Thanks

Hello U0000999,

Thanks for your post.

You could use the Strategy Builder to create the logic you are describing and display it with Draw.TextFixed. Please see the demonstration video linked below which demonstrates how to set this up. I am also attaching an export of the strategy made in the demonstration video.

Once the Strategy Builder is used to create your logic, you could turn this logic into an indicator. To do so, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, right-click on the Indicator's folder, and select New Indicator. Then, you could click the 'View code' button in the Strategy Builder to see the code that accomplishes your logic. This code could be copied to the new indicator and you could use AddPlot() to plot the Highest value - Lowest value on a chart.

Here is a link to our publicly available training videos, 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401', for you to view at your own convenience.
