Average net change from Close to Close

[sa1ze]

Hi,

I do not know how to write this Formula to help me get the average number of net change of the close for the last 5 days,
from today close to previous day close, back to 5 days only, I want to get the number change no minus or plus sign please.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Safa

use this function...

here is a function you can add to your code to calculate the close to close range you are seeking..

function fClosetoCloseRange(StartBar, Length) {
var x;
var RangeTotal = 0;
  for (x=StartBar;x<(StartBar-Length);x--) {
    RangeTotal += Math.abs(close(x)-close(x-1));
  }
 return (RangeTotal/Length);
} 

the way you would use this is...

myrange = fClosetoCloseRange(-1, 5);

This would calculate the average close to close range starting at bar -1 and going back 5 bars. the value would be placed in myrange (a variable).

oops..

an error in my code... use this one..

function fClosetoCloseRange(StartBar, Length) {
var x;
var RangeTotal = 0;
  for (x=StartBar;x>(StartBar-Length);x--) {
    RangeTotal += Math.abs(close(x)-close(x-1));
  }
 return (RangeTotal/Length);
}
