calculate difference between close prices

[chartvisor]

Hello,

I would like to calculate the differce between the current close[0] and the close[2880]
in timeframe Minute in Market-Analyzer (Pricedifference between two days) or later
a half or one day...

1.2.3.7 minutes are running in Marketanalyser but more, than all values 0.

I have here posted my Code. than I hope anywhere can help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
myDataSeries.Set(Math.Abs(Close[0] - Close[8]));
}

What I need is this.
I have tryed a sample >>>> Xvariable = Close[0] - Close[1440]
value.Set(Xvariable);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to calculate the difference and output in MarketAnalyzer Column.
But it is not running - Problems with Instance?

Can someone help me with this code

for reply many thanks :-)

chartvisor, any errors seen in your NT log tab as you run this script?

How many bars are you loading up for the Market Analzyer to begin with?

The default of 50 bars would not be enough to calculate those values...

Hello Bertrand,

I have found a script in your online manual. I edit this - and it is running with an SMAdifference.
But I would like to use the different between the Close Prices CurrentClose and Close200barsago
The Period must be triggert on Close - not on SMA.

I don´t know how to modify the script to make it work
Can you help me with the modification.

Hello chartvisor,

If you would like the difference of the close 200 bars ago and the current bar use:

Value.Set(Close[200] - Close[0]);

You will also want to make sure there are 200 bars on the chart before the indicator starts.

[chartvisor]

Hello ChelseaB,

thank you very much for your reply.
I will try it.

Have a nice Weekend :-)
