Range Indicator Modification

[brucelevy]

Hey guys, I'm trying to modify this NT range indicator to read the range of the last 3 bars from the 3 minute chart. Having some issues with the bars array to read the period type as well as the 3 bar period lookback.

{
Add(new Plot(Color.Firebrick, PlotStyle.Bar, "RangeValue"));
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 3);


}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Value.Set(High[0] - Low[0]);

}

Try

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{            
    Value.Set(MAX(High,3)[0] - MIN(Low,3)[0]);
}

Need it to read from the 3 minute chart but this is giving me an error, says High, Low does not exist in current context https://gyazo.com/165f46bc51e41011f8544a5b49146d50


Value.Set(MAX(High(BarsArray[1],3)[0] - MIN(Low(BarsArray[1],3)[0])));

You parenthesis appear to be very misplaced.

Value.Set(MAX(High(BarsArray[1],3)[0 ]) - MIN(Low(BarsArray[1],3)[0])));

try that one in bold.

Value.Set(MAX(High(BarsArray[1],3)[0] - MIN(Low(BarsArray[1],3)[0])));

The first problem are the false brackets. The second problem is created because you reference BarsArray[1]. BarsArray[1] is the second BarsArray and would only exist in a multi-timeframe indicator with an added DataSeries.

Please use the code as I had suggested below. Then apply the indicator to the chart series as needed via indicator dialogue box.
