Custom 1 line indicator
Hello I am trying to use the custom line 1 indicator and and just plot what the high + low + close /5 would be. It seems to add the high+low+close but I cant get it to divide by 5. Can anyone help? Screen shot attached

robz7575,
mathematical operators have an order of operations (or operator precedence). High + Low + Close / 5 would not evaluate to the summation of High, Low, Close divided by 5, but adding the summation of High and Low to the result of the division of Close by 5.

To divide the summation of High + Low + Close I would suggest using brackets in your expression. For example:

To divide the summation of High + Low + Close I would suggest using brackets in your expression. For example:
Code: Select all
(High + Low + Close ) * .2
//Note that the above is the same as
(High + Low + Close ) / 5
