average daily count

[pigfarmer]

has someone created an .efs for calculating average daily count in the form of daily high - daily low and then averaged over 5 days and 10 days?

found this, but seems to have function error when loaded

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

}

}

FWIW at my end the formula is not generating any errors and is returning the correct results

thanks for review. found that my text editor was placing some incorrect characters. agree, the script works just fine.
