Hello

In an intraday chart, i 'm trying to store in an array the last 5 daily High in order to have the average

the array is ok but the average isn't
The average does not take into account the last value

can someone tell me why?
here is the script:

Code: Select all

Inputs: Length(5);



Variables: Data2Avg(0);



Arrays: Data2Array[5](0);





If Date > Date[1] then

   begin

   For Value1 = 0 to 4

      begin

      Data2Array[5 - Value1] = Data2Array[4-Value1];

      Print("Data2Array[5 - Value1] ", Data2Array[5 - Value1], newline);

      end;

   Data2Array[0] = ((HighD(1) - LowD(1)) / LowD(1)) * 100;

   Data2Avg = averagearray(Data2Array, Length );

   Print("DATE: ", formatdate("dd-MM-yyyy ", eldatetodatetime(date)),

         newline, " Data2Array[0] ",Data2Array[0], " HighD(1) ", HighD(1),

         newline, " Data2Array[1] ",Data2Array[1], " HighD(2) ", HighD(2),

         newline, " Data2Array[2] ",Data2Array[2], " HighD(3) ", HighD(3),

         newline, " Data2Array[3] ",Data2Array[3], " HighD(4) ", HighD(4),

         newline, " Data2Array[4] ",Data2Array[4], " HighD(5) ", HighD(5),

         newline, " Data2Avg ", Data2Avg);   

   end;



Plot1(Data2Avg, "Data2Avg");

SetPlotColor(1, Red);

SetPlotWidth(1, 2);

thank you

I think it is because you reference to highd(1). Which is the highd of yesterday. Also the highd(0) is not available until the day is ended. So if you want to have the highd on the current day you have to use something like this:

Code: Select all

// calculate todayhigh and todaylow every bar

If Date <> Date[1] then 

begin 

    PriorDayClose = Close[1]; 

    PriorDayHigh = TodayHigh; 

    PriorDayLow = TodayLow; 

    PriorDayOpen = TodayOpen; 



    TodayHigh = High; 

    TodayLow = Low; 

    TodayOpen = Open; 

end 

else 

begin 

    TodayHigh = MaxList( High, TodayHigh ) ; 

    TodayLow  = MinList( Low, TodayLow ) ; 

end;

And put the todayhigh and todaylow in an array. In this way you have the high and low of the day at every new bar on the current day.
