Cumulative Average Range Up/Down

[Himalaya]

Is there an EFS that plots the cumulative average range of up bars vs down bars that starts at 9:30 (EST)?

If not, would someone be willing to code it?

It would be a good EFS to go along with the new "Up-Down Bar Counter" that Alex just wrote. (especially when using volume bars)

I am not sure if plotting the cumulative average range based on 'open to close' or 'high to low' data would be best. A parameter that would allow you use either would be nice. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

I am not sure I understood correctly what you are asking never the less give the enclosed efs a try.
It calculates the High-Low or Open-Close ranges and depending on which is selected in Edit Studies runs a cumulative total for up and down bars.

function preMain(){

    setPriceStudy(false);
    setStudyTitle("UP-DN Range");
    setCursorLabelName("UP Rng",0);
    setCursorLabelName("DN Rng",1);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue,0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red,1);
    setComputeOnClose();

    var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("Range", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp1.setName("Range");
    fp1.addOption("HiLo");
    fp1.addOption("OpCl");
    fp1.setDefault("HiLo"); 
}

var vCntrUP = 0;
var vCntrDN = 0
var Diff = 0;

function main(Range){

    if((getHour()*100)+getMinute()==930){
        vCntrUP=0;
        vCntrDN = 0;
    }

    if(Range == "HiLo"){
        vDiff = high(0)-low(0);
    }
    if(Range == "OpCl"){
        vDiff = Math.abs(open(0)-close(0));
    }

    if(close(0)>open(0)){
        vCntrUP += vDiff;
    }
    if(close(0)<open(0)){
        vCntrDN += vDiff;
    }

    return new Array (vCntrUP,vCntrDN);
}

Getting there

Alex,

Thanks for your quick response, again.

Sorry I wasn't clearer in my description. I probably used "cumulative" incorrectly.

I need the efs to now take the info that you have been able to plot "the cumulative range" and divide it by the the "cumulative bar count" (up bars for up range and down bars for down range)

What I am trying to see with just a glance ,at any point in the day, is the average range of an up bar vs average range of a down bar - to gauge if buyers have more strength than sellers.
(So if there has been 35 up bars with a cumulative range of 17.5 pts the study would read .5)

BTW, nice feature to be able to use the op/cl or hi/lo

Again, sorry for the confusion

In that case it should only be a matter of combining the two efs. Try the enclosed version

function preMain(){

    setPriceStudy(false);
    setStudyTitle("UP-DN Range");
    setCursorLabelName("UP Rng",0);
    setCursorLabelName("DN Rng",1);

    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red,1);
    setComputeOnClose();

    var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("Range", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp1.setName("Range");
    fp1.addOption("HiLo");
    fp1.addOption("OpCl");
    fp1.setDefault("HiLo"); 
}

var vCntrUP = 0;
var vCntrDN = 0;
var vRngUP = 0;
var vRngDN = 0;
var Diff = 0;
var vAvgRngUP = 0;
var vAvgRngDN = 0;

function main(Range){

    if((getHour()*100)+getMinute()==930){
        vCntrUP=0;
        vCntrDN = 0;
        vRngUP = 0;
        vRngDN = 0;
    }

    if(Range == "HiLo"){
        vDiff = high(0)-low(0);
    }
    if(Range == "OpCl"){
        vDiff = Math.abs(open(0)-close(0));
    }

    if(close(0)>open(0)){
        vCntrUP++;
        vRngUP += vDiff;
    }
    if(close(0)<open(0)){
        vCntrDN++;
        vRngDN += vDiff;
    }
    
    vAvgRngUP = vRngUP/vCntrUP;
    if(isNaN(vAvgRngUP)) vAvgRngUP = 0;
    vAvgRngDN = vRngDN/vCntrDN;
    if(isNaN(vAvgRngDN)) vAvgRngDN = 0;


    return new Array (vAvgRngUP,vAvgRngDN);
}
