within x percent

[trader3000a]

Hi,
What's a good function to use to test:

if (
low[0] "is within x percent of" Low [1]
)

{do stuff}

I want to know if a price is within x percent of another price whether above OR below

Any ideas for something succinct within the library?

thanks,
David

Hi trader3000, thanks for posting. There is no pre-made function to get a percentage but you can calculate it using C#. Here is a C# snippet of the OnBarUpdate method that will calculate a bar percentage:

Something like this should work for you: if (Math.Abs(Low[0]/Low[1]-1.0)*100.0 <= PercentLimit) { // Do things }

Thanks.
