Daily Price Range

[walton]

Hi,

I am new to e-signal and trying to find my way through all the information.

I was hoping someone would be able to tell me where I could find or get a Java script of the average daily price movement over 10 days, 20 days etc.. and a moving average cross over script for alerts and back testing.

Cheers

W

W,

I'm pretty new as well but I think something like the following is what you're looking for. Re the moving ave crossover: there's one in the library.

var vCntr=0;

function preMain(){
    setStudyTitle("Average Change");
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM);
    setDefaultBarThickness(6);
}

function main(vNumberOfDays){
    
    //default number of days is 10 change it in the study params
    if (vNumberOfDays==null)var vNumberOfDays = 10;              
                    
    
    var vAverageChange=0;
    var vChangeSum = 0;
    
    if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR)vCntr++;
    
    if (vCntr>vNumberOfDays){                                      //gotta have enough days
        for(i = 0; i > -1*vNumberOfDays ; i--){                    //go through the last 10 days
            vChangeSum += (close(i)-open(i));                      //add up the changes
        }
        vAverageChange = vChangeSum/vNumberOfDays;              //calc the average
        if (vAverageChange>0)setBarFgColor(Color.green);
        if (vAverageChange<0)setBarFgColor(Color.red);
        return vAverageChange;          //draw the graph
    }
} 

Cheers,
