HighMinusLow Indicator Wanted
02 Aug 2020, 20:13


I regularly keep track of daily price movements in my collection of 45 charts. So far I simply measure manually the highs and lows for a given day. This is not very precise and also tedious work every morning. As I am not in a position to programm the HighMinusLow() function myself, I wonder if somebody has already done so and would like to share this little indicator with the community. I should be thankful for any comments.

Thank you for your suggestion, Symposion. I wasn't aware of the fact that HighMinusLow() was already available as an indicator ready to be used. But it doesn't do the job I had in mind.

What I want is a function that returns the actual pip amount a given asset moves on a daily basis. The resulting number of pips should also take into account any possible gap-up or gap-down at the beginning of each trading day. That would mean previous last closing price if out of range of the following day's price movement. The pip result should be printed somewhere on the chart for each daily period. Any idea if someone has already done this?

So far I collect my daily pip numbers manually and enter them in a spreadsheet where I can easily identify historic highs, lows and their monthly median values. This provides useful statistics as a trading support. Would be great to have a little bot that collects the data for this purpose.

Regards, Jens
